What will the Wings do if they get the third pick and Dahlin and Zadina are gone?
We really should combine all these into one topic.
Also, this is a ridiculous question.
The top 3 are set in stone. If you are #3 and Zadina was taken at #2, you go Svechnikov. If you are at #3 and Svechnikov is gone, you go Zadina.
I think it would be a mistake to pass up either of those two. If I'm 3 and really don't want Svech or Zadina, I call the guys at 4, 5, and 6 to see if they are interested in moving up for a price... or listen to their calls if they're banging down the door and then I take the D I want at 4,5, or 6.
I agree with you on Boqvist. Hes so young and has incredible upside. I'm really hoping he falls to us.I think there's no way Zadina goes before Svechnikov. Anyway, I'd take Svechnikov before Boqvist, but Boqvist before Zadina. Zadina is more of a sure thing, but Boqvist has ridiculous upside. He's the guy most likely in the draft to improve, and he's already very good. Add in the fact that he plays a very in-demand position with a very in-demand style and... how could you not?
That'd be my path. Ending up with the 3rd pick would be somewhat irritating, really. I like Svech quite a bit more, but Zadina is probably too good to pass up in favor of one of the lower ranked D we'd be likely to grab in the 5-8 spot we're more likely to pick in.
If Montreal remains 4th and we pick 5th we are pretty much guaranteed to get boqvist, or whichever dman our scouts like most.
The top 3 are set, and Montreal goes Tkachuk or Wahlstrom

Why are you so sure about this?
Probably a winger, because Bergevin won't let just anybody play center on the Habs. Although I would love to see the look on their faces when they realize the "French" guy they just drafted is Anglo and named Evan.most habs fans want to go with a forward from what i can see. Dont really know what bergevin will do though haha
I could see the Habs taking Tkachuk or Wahlstrom but I wouldnt be banking on it either. Theyre the second tier wingers, they could just as easily take a dman
Absolutely. Button is not the exception, he's the rule.I promise you there are NHL teams that have people with Tkachuk in front of Svechnikov and Zadina. Button isn't a lone wolf there, scouting departments are going to like guys differently than the group think, we see that every single year.
I would rather package AA with our low first or a second to try and move up into the top 15.
I think it would be kind of interesting, because the Wings have their Czech contingent and then they have their Swedish contingent. Add QMJHL/Atlantic Canada and European scouts into the mix and who knows what'll happen there.My question was based on what Red Wings will do, not what most of us will do.
I do think A.Svechnikov's stock has been slightly hurt by his brother's performance. A lot of draft choices are based on pedigree.
I believe Zadina will go second.
Red Wings may trade down two or three spots to pick-up an extra draft pick and still get a needed defenseman rather than take A.Svechnikov.
