Torn between Caufield and Krebs here.

But suspect we pick Boldy/Zegras if this is how it plays out.

 

[Orange Fanta]

For me its between pods, krebs or zegras.

 

[Dahlin 2 Eichel]

Krebs. Really enjoyed watching him this year.

 

[Chainshot]

*looks at the last four picks*

Well f***.

 

[krt88nc]

I voted for Cole Caufield because he’s a pure goal scorer. Yes I know he’s tiny at 5-7 but 7 goals in two games at the U18’s and he snipping ability at USDT is what we need in the system.

 

[Chainshot]

*sits speculating about what would mess with the Oilers the most*

 

[Team Cozens]

*looks at the last four picks*

Well ****.

Hopefully one of the Top 6 takes Podkolzin.

 

[TheMistyStranger]

*looks at the last four picks*

Well ****.

Yeah that’s the “I want one of these guys” list

 

[TheMistyStranger]

If Pod were Swedish, or Canadian, or Korean, or anything but Russian, it’s easily him. As this stands....Krebs, I guess.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

1. Krebs
2. Pod
3. Boldy

 

[Rowley Birkin]

Hope someone a few spots behind really wants Podkolzin... Then trade back & take Caufield.

No idea how long he lasts & he goes against everything I like in an early pick... But so intriguing.

Would also love Broberg if that Blues pick makes it into the teens.

Would be happy with using the later first on Knight too.

 

[Hellinator]

Move up and get Alex Turcotte though I will admit the 7 goals that Cole Caufield has in the first 2 games at the World's is intriguing.

 

[1972]

Podkolzin then Krebs then Caufield. No for Boldy or Zegras

 

[Gabrielor]

Krebs all day

 

[truthbluth]

I think this is Podkolzin easy, but I have no faith in our courage to make that pick.

I rock-paper-scissored this in my head and still came back to being a Pod-person.

As an aside, I know '72 is not a Boldy fan, but that kid just gets it. He's going to be a high-end glue guy in the role of a Reinhart.

 

[Goathead]

Went Krebs but Caufield did cross my mind. Don’t want anything to do with Pod. I don’t trust the organization to handle him properly.

I admit that handling is not my consideration there. It should be, but it wasn't. Mostly it's the caffeine bringing out my contrarianism.

Podkolzin might work for someone but I guarantee that team won't be us.

What do you think of Caufield??

 

[truthbluth]

I agree on Boldy. I see a lot of Reinhart in his game.

 

[Chainshot]

Podkolzin might work for someone but I guarantee that team won't be us.

What do you think of Caufield??

Caufield... so I like his ability to finish. He has the high-end positioning, shooting, release that gets the sort of results we see from his stat line. He isn't just living off of Hughes' playmaking ability, it is a good synergy that a coach should be utilizing. I can't overlook his size as a risk factor. Pod is a risk to not come over right away and the Sabres history of f'ing up Russian player relations. Dach it's a motivation risk. Cozens it's a mind risk. There are some varying levels of risk there. But his ability to finish... damn!

Also, I'm tired of the trope that this is DeBrincat all over again. Alex had his own issues -- dig around a bit and there is some talk about him and coaches that also likely had a push on his value beyond his size. I'm so f***ing tired of the DeBrincat comps just due to stature.

 

[Kyndig]

Podkolzin at #7 and Caufield with the Blues* pick. GMs are always scared of drafting tiny guys as he seems to be in the 20ish range on many online mock drafts.

I agree with all of this. Which is why I went Krebs. I feel like he is the least risky pick where we sit and we really need to hit on this one.

Im not sure where Caufield goes but I absilutely think he's gone by the time of our second pick even if its in the late teens.
