Defence prospect battle: Who will be the better pro?

[wetcoast]

I like the first three the most. Merkley isn’t bad, but not the same level.

Soderstrom
Bouchard
Välimäki
Merkley

I have them in this order as well but at one point Tony DeAngelo was seen as a guy with "issues" and he seems to have overcome them.

Merkley could do the same just a great skillset but frankly I doubt it.

Some guys just never get it.

I agree. Merkley has improved, and I think he’s looking like a good pick. I like all of these players.

Gotta go with Soderstrom on this one.

So why/how exactly is he the biggest bust potential if hes the most skilled?

Those two are mutually exclusive most of the time

huh? he likely would have gone top 5 in his draft if it wasnt for his attitude

if he puts it together, he has 70 point potential. if not hes an ahl/echl lifer

hes been a ppg+ dman for 3 years that junior teams still keep moving away from him
