If they all hit ceiling: Hughes, Boqvist/Bouchard, Dobson, Smith

Floor: Dobson, Bouchard, Boqvist, Smith, Hughes

Personal guess as to how they end up in ~ 5/6 years.

Dobson/Bouchard, Boqvist, Hughes, Smith.


Hope this ends up like the Lee/Nelson/Bjugstad thread.

[Frk It]

Had them ranked:

Dobson
Boqvist
Hughes
Bouchard
Smith

But they are a pretty even group, IMO.

 

[Vide]

Highest upside: Boqvist
Most likely to reach his upside: Hughes
Safest bet to be an NHLer in some shape or form: Dobson

1/ Alexeyev
2/ the rest

Hope this ends up like the Lee/Nelson/Bjugstad thread.

For that to happen we would have to make a Bochard vs Dobson vs Wilde and Wilde ends up the best guy. lol

What do you think Smith does better than Hughes? Genuinely curious.

 

[JumpierPegasus]

My rankings (where I had them ranked before the draft)

Hughes (2)
Dobson (6)
Boqvist (11)
Bouchard (13)
Smith (19)

NOTE: I had Alexeyev ranked ahead of Smith at 15 and Sandin next after Smith at 21

Hughes easily has the highest floor, already playing at the nhl level. I'd rank them the same way they got drafted.

The world championships is not the nhl. I do agree though him playing there was impressive.

 

[Captain97]

Ceiling wise:
Boqvist
Hughes
Bouchard
Dobson
Ty Smith
In reality:
Bouchard
Hughes
Dobson
Boqvist
Smith

Just based on how well they will translate to the NHL. Boqvist's concussions concern me.

What do you think Smith does better than Hughes? Genuinely curious.

Just as good offensively but the big edge is Smith can actually play defense. Hughes is a better skater but his play in his own end has a long ways to go which is why he's lower for me. All 5 of these D will have big impacts in the nhl though just in different roles.
