Hooah for Roy

Whats everyones take on Chabot vs Roy vs Zboril?

 

[tfong]

I think Chabot is the offensive minded of the pair, slightly better offensive upside. Both him and Zboril are pretty mobile which is good.

Roy is almost a wildcard cause his defensive game I think isn't as polished, but he has much more offensive upside than either of them.

Whats everyones take on Chabot vs Roy vs Zboril?

I think the fact that Jeremy Roy's comparables have been Letang and Suter, while the other guys' comparibles are Hedman(minus the size)/Yandle and Hamhuis/Wisniewski, I'd rather have the guy with the most upside, even if he doesn't pan out.

 

[Taranis]

I like Chabot slightly better then Roy due to his overall game and being a better traditional style defensemen.

Whats everyones take on Chabot vs Roy vs Zboril?

I went to quite a few Sea Dogs game this year, and personally my vote is Chabot. Very smooth skater, and calm under pressure. He impressed me the most. Though admittedly I only saw limited viewings of Zboril (injured much of the year) and Roy (was suspended when they visited Saint John).

Zboril was a monster during the playoffs this year, but during the regular season what I saw I wasn't impressed. He seemed to always let the other player win a puck race, choosing to either tie him up or even just let him go. He does have a big shot though.

 

[AgeOfBennett]

I would take Roy. Amazing offensive ability. Elite skating . Could be a possible QB for us on the power play. Pretty good size and still room to fill his frame. I think Chabot and Zboril are a bit better than him defensively, but defense can always be taught, gifted offensively ability cannot. RHS too which we could really use more of in the system.

Zboril has the more interesting spelling of his name.

 

[MonyontheMoney]

From what I've seen, I would say Chabot is an elite skater and Roy is good... Could be completely off on that though

Whats everyones take on Chabot vs Roy vs Zboril?

I think Chabot and Roy are a tier higher than Zboril. Chabot is more of a complete defenseman, but Roy is still a great 2-way defenseman with a lot more offensive upside. Bonus for the right handed shot too.

 

[tmurfin]

I really like Chabot, honestly it's so hard to do research and watch young defenseman, definitely a lot hard to predict than forwards. Just trying to get into draft mode here , took a break from hockey for a bit, playoffs drained me.

 

[SaintMorose]

Chabot has a Sanheim quality to him with his late rise to being a very interesting top-15 choice. I would really love to see us take a chance on him barring a couple guys that may fall.

McDavid, Eichel, Hanifin, Strome, Marner, Werenski, Rantanen, Provorov, Barzel, Mieir, Connor are definite names I take ahead of him as well as probably Zacha but after that it gets really close for the next 13-20

 

[AgeOfBennett]

I know it's just one source but Werenski has fallen to 13th OA on draftsite.com is he just falling on that source or is he falling everywhere? Because I would take him over Roy or Chabot any day

 

[CraigsList]

No doubt you go with Werenski over the other two. He's the third best defenseman in the draft behind Hanifin and Provorov.

 

[Gritty]

I know it's just one source but Werenski has fallen to 13th OA on draftsite.com is he just falling on that source or is he falling everywhere? Because I would take him over Roy or Chabot any day

Draftsite.com is one the worst NHL draft ranking sites out there... Just my opinion, of course.

 

[Johnny GODreau]

I know it's just one source but Werenski has fallen to 13th OA on draftsite.com is he just falling on that source or is he falling everywhere? Because I would take him over Roy or Chabot any day

On his Elite prospects page, he's ranked as high as 6th and as low as 11th.

 

[AgeOfBennett]

Ok thanks guys just checking

draftsite.com isn't a rating site. it's a mock draft site, a site where anyone with an internet connection ad needs to waste some time can make a mock draft. Their "rankings" are based purely on these mock drafts.

Hey now, that system is how we elect our municipal, provincial and federal leaders!

site rules, no politics

 

[Ace Rimmer]

I like this site, only because it provides a (albeit out of date) list of various top 30 rankings.

http://www.mynhldraft.com/2015-draft/prospect-rankings/

Draftsite.com is good for a list of draft eligible players, and a very very very (very) rough talent analysis for some of the top players. That's about it though.

 

[AgeOfBennett]

Does anyone think Sprong is still an option for 15thOA? I mean the guy is pure skill, just crappy on defense. Apparently he had issues with the team or something. I don't know but if anyone can screw Sprongs head on straight, it would be Hartley. And defense can be taught. But with this guys skill he has a top 6 ceiling. Drafting him is definitely a risk
