Probably Dobson for his constant improvement throughout the season and dominance on the big stage.

 

[JayHockey]

Dobson had 89 pts in 91 GP this year, although he was playing the tough matchup every night. Tough to do better in term of constancy. Dobson all day long.

Gotta agree with everyone else here Dobson by quite a bit for me, bigger, better all around defender, and most important for me he hasn't had multiple concussions.

Would be really happy with Dobson at 6 for the Wings, Boqvist is too risky at 6 in my opinion.

 

[KingTux]

Gut feeling so don't take me seriously but I like Boqvist more

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Dobson definitely, although I believe they will be closer than some people think

 

[Lights911]

Dobson

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Close, but tempted to go with Dobson atm. Need to watch more footage of these two (especially Dobson) before draft day.

 

[Orca Smash]

Boqvist

 

[Nuckles]

I'll take the guy who didn't suffer 2 concussions in 7 months.

And it's getting further apart by the day. Any manager taking Boqvist over Dobson at this point, either fell in love with Boqvist at some point and is having a hard time looking at reality, or sees something in Dobson that's scaring them off.

Boqvist still has far better skill and a quicker mind for the game. Would take him over Dobson. Main thing is Dobson still has lots of problems defensively, more concerned about that part of his game than Boqvist's. Concussions are concerning, of course, but younger players can rebound from them better as their brains as still plastic.

It's like asking who is better? Vilardi or Elias Pettersson, everyone had the chance to see Vilardi in action before the draft which jumped his popularity 10 folds among fans, but professional scouts see it differently.

this is no different, Boqvist is my obvious choice over Doobson.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Boqvist easily, although I'm a fan of both players.

I am glad your so sure of yourself perdicting the future, will be interesting to revisit this one in awhile.

 

[Elias Pettersson]

Boqvist couldnt even outproduce Brannstrom, who was drafted much later last year.

If only production was the deciding factor in a prospects success in the nhl, the draft would be much easier.

if this was the case no need to hire scouts.

will not be surprised to see boqvist go before dobson.

Dobson.

I think the probabilities of this happening are pretty low. And I'm not a Boqvist-hater, far from there. Just think he slips out of the top-10. Too raw in many facets of his game still. It will scare many teams off.

Except Pettersson produced in the Allsvenskan while Boqvist didn’t produce outside of Swedish jr. Meanwhile Vilardi had mediocre production (for a forward) in the CHL while Dobson had elite production (for a D).

It’s not a great analogy.

 

[AuraSphere]

If you're looking for a power play quarterback, Boqvist.

If you're looking for an all rounder like Pietrangelo, Dobson

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Dobson but it’s close

Yes Boqvist has flashier mittens, elusive quick skating and a rocket of a wrister but at the same time he is smaller, plays worse defensively and less consistent. Dobson can play any role you ask of him, shutdown, Socring, joining the rush, PP, PK.... You say he does it, the kid has a wicked plethora of shots for a D-man, he has more than Elite skating abilities for his size as well as position, he can consistently score in many different ways and is one of the best defensive minded Defencemen in the draft.

This is Dobson.. Tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if he where to go 3rd(he could potentially had gone 2nd if a non-Carolina team got it), the kid looks like a future Elite all around Defence-men and is one of the best Undrafted Defensive prospects(behind Dahlin) that I have probably seen since Ekblad. Mark my words he’s the first Defence-men off the board.
