Prospect Info: The 2019 Entry NHL Draft Thread - Part X

[Foxtail]

Rumor for the draft: Tyson Barrie in play at the draft! @Patagonia you and I are happy about this one!

Me too and @lonelybadger is possibly going to miss a big trade albeit for good reason

 

[Vaslof]

Did I miss some comment or rumor somewhere that so many people are suddenly really convinced that Dach would be the F choice at 4?

McKenzie's and Button's mock drafts probably play a part, Dach at #4 and #5.

 

[Foxtail]

With the swirling Barrie trade rumours, I wonder if the draft selection will be Byram?

Barrie doesn't even need to be traded at the draft, but with a year remaining and future uncertainty there is a greater possibility AVs will be drafting a Dman.

REPORT: The Colorado Avalanche have Tyson Barrie on the trade block

He's definitely a goner if we can get good offer

 

[Iceberg]

Congrats, if you have a boy are you naming him after out #4 pick ?

He/she will be named Bo... that is my guess.

 

[Patagonia]

Byram!

Hawks HF Board, slightly favors the DMan over Turcotte. AVs fan poll is overwhelmingly in favour of Byram 60%+ on the assumption Turvotte is gone compared to everyone else.

I know some here complain about about the fan girl Byram supporters, but it seems Hawks and AVs would rather choose either Turcotte or Byram.

 

[Foppberg]

Prediction: Chicago will take Byram, after the draft it will be revealed that there was a deal in place for Barrie to go to Vancouver if Byram was available @#4 for us to take.

Nightmare scenario...Barrie and Horvat both staying.



Turcotte is still a nice consolation.

Such a “nightmare.”

 

[Foxtail]

My interest for Turcotte went down when I learned he was Alfie’s son.

Bam, I've said this on here before finally someone else thinks the same thing

Stop. This is bordering on harassment for the complete nonsense you convinced yourself of.

 

[Foxtail]

Ill be fine with whomever we take at 4 but starting to really want dach. Think hes the home run pick and ive never been a safe pick fan. I know most prefer turcotte but just dont see the same level of potential as a dach or zegras. Turcotte would be a great fit but its hopefully gonna be a long time before we draft this high again so prefer the upside of a dach

 

[Foxtail]

He’ll be worth more a couple years into that new contract.

But he will be he 10th most valuable player on the team, can't pay 8 mil for that so he must go

I don't believe that Byram will be ready to play in the NHL next year, or at least play in a manner that provides any meaningful impact. Should any decision about Barrie be connected to whether or not the Avs select Byram?

If they are drafting for today's team they are setting themselves up to have a bad time.

[AllAboutAvs]

The day has finally arrived!
By tomorrow night we will finally know the last two pieces of the Duchene trade.

Meh, just toss Timmins/Meloche in there to be the sacrificial lamb to replace Trade Value. Neither are ready and will most certainly be ruined as prospects after getting massacred in the NHL but who gives a f***.

PS: We should re-sign Trade Value

Stop. This is bordering on harassment for the complete nonsense you convinced yourself of.

I'm so ready to start talking mad crap about the guys we don't pick. I'm telling you, I'm still leaning Byram (if Turcotte is gone) but if we go with Dach (who I have no issues with), I'll start spouting off "Byram projecting as a 5th defensemen" statements left and right. f*** em.

 

[Echo Roku]

Yeah, also can be used to say "oh I'm just being indirect and not directly saying it" in that situation.

You actually claiming you're not serious about it? Because its not funny. Its just random (to the point its hard to imagine its actually a joke) and has been from the start (let alone weeks later)

 

[Tralfamadore]

Turcotte or Byram and I'm happy. Anything else and I'll be slightly disappointed.

The pick at 16 is intriguing. Door is wide open at that pick.

I just hope if we pick Dach people don’t get all insane with penciling him to the lineup because “kid is big”. He will need as much maturation time and development as any choice we can make at that spot. Patience for whoever we pick please. The door is open for Sakic to improve the opening night roster for this upcoming season in a myriad of ways and none have to do with force feeding an 18 year-old kid into the lineup.

I'm in the Turcotte/Byram/Dach in that order camp but agree that anything that strays from that will leave me a bit upset. A Caufield pick would piss me off. If we pick Pod at 4th, I'll remove every "like" I've ever given to @cgf .

 

[Echo Roku]

Same opinion as it has been for weeks

Turcotte, Byram, Zegras, and Dach in that order. Will be legitimately saddened by any other choice at 4.
