Prospect Info: The Premature 2020 Draft Thread

Dawson Mercer or Seth Jarvis?

It'll be Holloway, Wallinder or Barron

That’s not what I’m asking though

 

[CycloneSweep]

Think more than a few of you would be happy with this.

Quinns position reminds me so much if Gagner. Both highly ranked because of their elite linemate

 

[Seachd]

Yup, our 1st rounder this year, and next year, should be on the trading block. As should Bouchard and Broberg for that matter.

This seems really short-sighted and not a good idea, with how valuable young entry-level NHLers are now.

 

[29Beast97Mode]

We are such chokers we couldn't even win the draft lottery

 

[CycloneSweep]

So looking at Hollands recent draft history. If he wants a forward he goes for a guy that's falling. If he wants a defender he likes to reach. So if Jack Quinn is there at 14 he probably grabs him. I hope the kid is actually legit and not just being carried by Rossi like Gagner was by Kane.

Quinn didn’t play with Rossi outside the PP.

Buttons mock draft

I think Ottawa takes Drysdale at 3 and one of Stutzle or Rossi whoever Detroit doesn’t take.

Of the guys in the range, Mercer looks like the only potential right handed center option, unless you consider Jarvis a center at the next level (I don't). Someone else mentioned it earlier in this thread, but Mercer's 31st in straight up number of faceoffs won in the Q. He's over 750 attempts and sports a 52% in the faceoff circle. Potentially down the line, maybe he's a 3C option as well as a middle 6 RW option. I'm trying to justify/validate him already.

I think the thing I learned from taking a gander at the draft thoughts post-lottery from The Athletic is that Florida apparently would look at taking a defenseman thats not Drysdale/Sanderson? That would help things a bit with a forward sliding to us.

I doubt Red Wings will take Drysdale. They have Seider as number one RD prospect.

For me it is Dawson Mercer at 14th.

 

[McDoused]

Who is Quinns elite linemate?

Also Gagner and Quinn are nothing alike.

Rossi played with two AHL calibre players while Quinn did it all by himself on the second line.

So Quinn played with Garreffa?

I think Mercer would be a hell of a consolation prize.

How do you show these?

 

[Gordian Knot]

Who will be that perennial All-Star player Carolina drafts with Leafs ticket?

 

[McDoused]

So Quinn played with Garreffa?

Touche.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Jack Quinn is one of the oldest prospects in the draft but 52 goals is hard to ignore
Still would go with Mercer if he’s on the board

My issue with Mercer is he is more of the same for our team. He is in the mould of pretty much all our guys in th sense of, he is a playmaker. For once I would love to draft a guy who can score. If McDavid and Draisaitls wingers rather pass than shoot and McDrai have to do most of the scoring themselves than its honestly pointless. Giving 2 of the best playmakers in the league more playmakers is baffling imo.

If we draft a forward, draft a scorer.
If we draft a defender, draft a puck mover.

 

[Rufus Aslegard]

Why do the oilers 'need' a forward at 14? They needed a forward last year just as much.

best d-man in the draft - take him

 

[CycloneSweep]

best d-man in the draft - take him

The best dman in the draft would be picked well before our pick

 

[Drivesaitl]

Great, now the board database is all messed up and posts aren’t showing up or they’re showing up out of order.

I thought most of my posts were always out of order..

Does this put them in order?

something something draft

 

[Rufus Aslegard]

The best dman in the draft would be picked well before our pick

i mean draft best d-man available

Should draft wallinder or drysdale

not serious about either - some player will drop to 14 and make the choice obvious

kind of like Bouchard year - the oilers had their choice of Bouchard Dobson or wahlstrom

given the deep draft - a player ranked in the top 10 now will be available at 14

Can’t tell if they’re in order if they don’t show up. jk

 

[Drivesaitl]

I never show up in these draft threads. whoops, wait, what?

14 pick is such a crapshoot. Much more so if its Oilers.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Any teams that have extra 2nd rounders that we may consider trading down with to add a 2nd?
