Hypothetically, Who Would You Draft?

[nabob]

Pretty easily Boqvist. He's by far the most dynamic and has one of the highest offensive ceilings for any defenseman in this draft. I could totally see them passing on him because of perceived holes in his game or they wanted to take a more complete player and then in 2 years he comes in and tears it up and everyones is sitting in here saying see I told you we should of taken Boqvist over *insert name*

Edit: My question is, and I know it's extremely highly unlikely, but if we get to 10 and Boqvist and Walhstrom are on the board. Who do you go with?

I think if you pass on that dynamic of a player with that high of a ceiling then it really says something about your confidence in you coaching and player development systems. You can’t coach that kind of talent into a player.

Exactly. You can't teach natural talent.

I have it this way on my list:
Boqvist > Hayton > Kravtsov > Smith > Farabee

 

[nexttothemoon]

Other needs more votes.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Boqvist >>>>> Smith > Kravtsov > Farabee > Hayton

 

[McNuge]

Other needs more votes.

If that other is still Ryan Merkley it most certainly does not

 

[McAsuno]

It should be Boqvist by far. Smith nty.

 

[McJesusSaves97]

Chose Boqvist, but it probably only takes a couple teams to pass on Wahlstrom for him to fall to #10...he is lowkey who I am hoping for. The concussion + work ethic concerns with Boqvist impact my preference, but I understand that if all goes well with Boqvist and his development, he is exactly what we need.

I'm on a Lonely Island with my vote I guess... but i'll be singing I'm On A Boat and gloating about how much of A Boss I am when I get that pick right and everyone else's pick busts out of the NHL.

 

[nexttothemoon]

Seriously... Nordgren and Shafigullin also need to be choices as well.

Addison as well if we are choosing between Smith and Boqvist.

 

[MinimaMoralia]

Boqvist or Wahlstrom for moi.

Even though I have argued that Smith is being undervalued, I have a hard time passing up on elite skill. If Boqvist is as good as many claim it would be tough to pass on him.

Thinking the stars are aligned for the OIlers to be extremely high on Boqvist. Right handed shot, dynamic offensive D. Been desperate for this kind of guy in the org for a long time, and I see no problem with taking that chance. We have a solid guy in the org now for developing D prospects too with Yawney. Perhaps Coffey helps too.

 

[Oil53]

Boqvist all day long.

 

[ujju2]

Boqvist or Smith. Ideally though Wahlstrom falls to us or we trade up to get him.

Boqvist >>>>> Smith > Kravtsov > Farabee > Hayton

Maybe

Boq>Kravtsov>>>Smith>Hayton>Wilde>Farabee

Opened the results to be viewed. I imagined we'd see about a 70/30 split, but Boqvist really ran away with it more than I thought.

Cmon Oilers, don't be stupid if things fall this way.

 

[OilerSuperstar17]

Boqvist > Smith > Kratsov > Hayton > Farabee

I'd take Farabee over Hayton. I don't get the hype over Hayton. Everyone saying he's a 3rd line C at best. I don't get why he's a top 15 pick then. He should be a lower 1st to 2nd rounder.

 

[OilerSuperstar17]

Isn't Boqvist like, barely draft eligible?
The only reason I think teams pass on him is that he is probably another year away compared to his close peers.

Imo at the end of the day he will be the second best defender in the draft.

Heard his concussion is a big reason why as well

At 10 we have the pick we take the best D man left on the board
