I know someone who insists Nolan Baumgartner is the best junior defenseman he'd ever seen.

You got it!
And someone here is forgetting how smooth a skater was Jonathan Girard....and he was a 1st round pick.
Dobson is already a pro....at 17.
Looking at pro careers to judge past prospects does not cut it!
Girard had a terrible car accident that ended his hockey career.
Regardless of where he gets draft, I think his future team will be very happy with him

Just word of mouth. From what I've heard it's Tkachuk or Bouchard. Hopefully someone slips. I am less than thrilled.

Well no Beauchemin has had a career of a top 10 pick easily he was a top pairing d on a cup winner and is still playing. Dobson is certainly the better prospect coming out of Jr but that doesn't mean he will have a better career.
I would be stupid to not project a very successful prop career to Dobson.
He's got everything!
And that is not even exaggerating....
Why do people continue to suggest he has limited offensive upside? He is the second best D in this draft easily, IMO.
Exactly!
If there is a better one, he better be real good and I hope the team that picks another one ahead of him are sure of what they are doing.
Dobson is a generational player as far as I am concerned.....
That strikes me as the sens going for most NHL ready over most pro potential. Would be par for the course with this group lately.

Definitely not generational, God I hate that term.
You can hate it all you want, but the fact remains and you will see in the next few years.

I'm more than confident in saying Dobson isn't and won't be a Geberational player.
Just for curiosity sakes, who do you consider a generational player in the NHL? Because there is only Crosby, Ovechkin and McDavid as sure thing generational players, hence the generational tag...

Dobson a generational player? Good lord.

Agreed on Tkachuk, not on Bouchard.
Bouchard's PPG in his 18YR old season ranks top 3 for any defenseman in the CHL in the 21st century.
Production results from elite hockey IQ, skill and shooting ability. He doesn't lack pro potential in the slightest.

Bergevin sent me an offer sheet
I'm high on Dobson, think this Memorial Cup victory could likely get him drafted higher. I just hope the ABT win the Memorial Cup, can't stand it when host teams win it...

What a deep draft this is with 3 generational players between Dahlin, Hughes, and Dobson.

Strike another victory for hfboards' ability to avoid outlandish hype...

ISS , one of the best 3 letter NHL prospect scouting sources available where the last 2 letters of their name are the same has the Sens taking Dobson at 4th after the Habs took Tkachuk at 3. That could happen .. some talk suggests the Sens prefer Bouchard but ...I prefer Dobson. I think its not far fetched that Zadina could fall to 5 or 6.

Damn... we got a ton of generational players from one draft!
