Well not a good game from Dobson tonight. Will see how the rest of the series goes but he might be dropping down the list if he keeps this up.
Only you could watch a single game and drop a guy out of your top 3 because of it.Well not a good game from Dobson tonight. Will see how the rest of the series goes but he might be dropping down the list if he keeps this up.
I thought he was a lock?

I very much doubt that Kaut is there. Very good possibility that Wise is available.Anyone think there is a chance a player like Jake Wise or Martin Kaut is there with our second round pick? This could be a good year to add some solid players later in the draft.
Has he really risen that much? I like him but I think that's pretty crazy at 11.Kaut will go closer to 10 than 40. I have him at 11 on my list.

I'm just going to post this again for a good reminder. The odds are that the player we pick (if we keep the pick) at #10 is likely not going to be a top 4 blueliner or a top 6 forward. The odds say we will get a bottom pairing dman or 4th line forward or worse:

I dont want him either. Hes a lhd for starters and hasn't impressed me anytime Ive watched him. I would much rather take Kotkaniemi at 10 over Smith if none of the other D drop to us. Kotkaniemi seems like a perfect fit on our team, can play all 3 positions (rw,lw,c) and is a pretty decently sized guy with a great release.Am I the only one that doesn’t want Ty Smith?

Here are 10 additional prospects that could creep into the Top 125 selected, depending on the whims and wishes of the 31 NHL clubs on draft weekend:
C Jonatan Berggren – Skelleftea AIK (SuperElit), Sweden (Hlinkas/U18)
3. Chiarelli trades the 10th pick to the Islanders for mascot Sparky the Dragon, who he believes is a significant upgrade over Hunter the Canadian lynxI see two scenarios for the draft:
1: In the top 9, all of the top D (Dahlin, Boqvist, Bouchard, Hughes, Dobson) are picked, and we are left with either Kotkaniemi or Smith. I'm hoping for Kotkaniemi.
2: One team desperate for a center falls in love with Jesperi Kotkaniemi and takes him with the Oilers pick. One of Dobson, Bouchard, Hughes, or Boqvist falls to our pick and I will be a happy man.
I'm really hoping for the second scenario, but Kotkaniemi would still be a decent consolation prize.
I do like Barret Hayton, but he doesn't have nearly enough offensive upside to be considered a top 10 pick.3. Chiarelli trades the 10th pick to the Islanders for mascot Sparky the Dragon, who he believes is a significant upgrade over Hunter the Canadian lynx
Please make the pick on someone like Kotkaniemi, and don't use it on Barret Hayton, that's all I'm asking for
Kaut will go closer to 10 than 40. I have him at 11 on my list.
