Prospect Info: Draft Thread | How Far Would You Trade Down?

[syz]

Button's right in that whatever the Oilers do at 4 is irrelevant without taking into consideration the sort of deals they make via trades and/or free agency.

Will be hard to judge how the pick is used until we see what other parts move around.

Oh there's a team option. Fun!

 

[McDNicks17]

So someone asked Button why he had Chychrun so low.

He said he's an elite skater and a competitor, but lacks high-end offense and then compared him to Trevor Daley.

Kind of an odd comparison, to me.

I don't think I agree with him, personally. Judging the team, sure, but the pick is the pick, and once it's made, I'm not sure I see how it would be judged differently depending on what the team does.

Reminds me a lot of Bogosian...

One of the things I noticed with Chychrun when I watch him play, and this was especially prominent at the U18s is he makes some absolutely boneheaded plays at least once or more a game.

He takes lots of risks to move the puck up the ice that lead to some beautiful passes, but the flip side is they are high risk plays that also result in awful turnovers usually leading to odd man rushes the other way.

So pretty much a Justin Schultz then?

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

So Max Jones is the most likely to be available at #3?

Way to go, dumb graph.

I was hoping we would never see that chump quitters name here again.

First of all, it is pick 4. And the graph is suggesting that of all the players on that list, he would be the one we most likely wouldn't have to worry about being taken before our pick should be stupid enough to want to draft him at 4.

That said, over 40% chance Laine is still there at 4... okay...

I'd be interested to know how they came up with there percentages?

 

[underdog]

If GM's are giving Chia same garbage offers that fans on this board are giving, he should just keep pick.

Haven't you heard? The Oilers have to trade the pick. If they keep it and draft the likely 4th ranked player(a forward) that is just proof that they will never learn and will be the worst team forever.

These are things I wouldn't know if I didn't read the main boards on occasion.

Reason #1 I could never be a mod. I would have to work so hard not to banhammer every mouthbreather saying idiot things like that.

Hurrrr Oilers took Tkachuk durrrr stupid Coilers shuda traded it for my favorite team's 2nd pairing defenceman + 2nd rounder + C prospect.

 

[GPNuck]

As a fan base whom of Tkachuk or Dubois are you guys leaning towards? We are happy with whatever is leftover is our general consensus.

I don't see it playing out where we draft at 4 honestly

I don't think there's too many people leaning either way.

Seems like almost everyone would be happy with one or the other.

From all reports the team leans towards Tkachuk.

 

[YEGJuniorFan]

How do you guys think Tkachuk/Dubois compare to Draisaitl in his draft year? Just thinking how this pick stacks up to the 2014 #4.

my own take would be;

Tkachuk is a good pick to be "someone's" linemate....either nuge/mcd/drai.....but we have hall as well. I'd say he is a perfect fit for McDavid but in saying that I kind of write off Hall....which I'm not sure is smart. Still Tkachuk is a complimentary guy who could really be a good piece to round out the top 6.

Dubois, IMO, is more complete and may be ready to play 3rd line in a big role next year. He might be more of a possession player and driver than Tkachuk and you might not have to worry about lining him up with a centerman he meshes with or what not. He can play all positions too.....so it's potentially a more manageable and more immediate upgrade.

There are still a lot of other options to trade down or out of the 1st round. I lean towards this camp because we added Caggiula and I think Nuge/Drai can be moved to wing. It really depends on who's willing to trade what for tkachuk/dubois.

 

[I am the Liquor]

Nuge played 62 games out of 82. To me that means 20 missed games rather than 42. If you don't like my math I am not sure what more I can say,

Right you are. As usual. My mistake. Sorry for being so obtuse.

 

[MoneyGuy]

Dubois, please. Thank you.

Dubois>Draisaitl

Based on? Shiny new toy syndrome consistently blows my mind.
