OILERS TAKE MY ENERGY

NICE!
man I wish there was a way for us to get Byram.

 

[alphahelix]

Why all the Cozens hate?! I get that maybe he isnt perfect and doesnt belong in the top 5? I feel like Cozens would compare pretty well to a lot of 8th overall picks!

I'm not a fan myself. He's usually ranked in the top-8 though, so I could be off.

Hes going to be great value for anyone who gets him. I think hes one of those guys that's been around for so long that hes been overscouted.

Fans and scouts want the newest flashiest thing and only look at the past month or so instead of evaluating the year as a whole.

 

[The Hound]

Dach or Caufield please.

 

[Joey Moss]

Like Christmas morning

 

[McDNicks17]

Let's just hope Stauffer doesn't get the chance to slip Holland the "Philip Broberg No Matter What" sticky note.

When does TV coverage start?

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

When does TV coverage start?

I'd just tune in at 6. There's always a ton of delay so the first pick probably won't be made for a half hour.

My latest “oh god I hope this is the case” thought is Holland floated the Broberg rumours out to flush out whoever in the early double digits wanted Broberg - and he caught a live one in Jim Benning.

If it’s a smokescreen as I’m hoping we could see Holland drop back to 10 (he said he’d be open to dropping back a bit today), still get Boldy/Caufield/Cozens, and pick up an extra pick or dump a salary on them.

Holland hasn’t screwed up yet this summer, I hope he doesn’t commit his first one by drafting Broberg 8 spots too early.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Picks 1-7:

Hughes
Kakko
Byram
Turcotte
Dach
Zegras
Cozens

Oilers will pick: Boldy
I want the Oilers to pick: Boldy or Caufield
I don’t want the Oilers to pick: Broberg or Podkolzin

 

[McLarsonator]

Hoping Bettman delays long enough for the first pick to be after 6pm so I’m home from work!

Let’s give it a whirl,

Picks 1-7
1) Devils - Hughes
2) Rangers - Kakko
3) Hawks - Turcotte
4) Avs - Cozens
5) Kings - Byram
6) Red Wings - Zegras
7) Sabres - Caufield

The Oilers will pick...
Dach

I want the Oilers to pick...
Dach (Boldy if Dach is gone)

I don't want the Oilers to pick...
Cozens

This is exactly how I’ve got it going too. If Dach doesn’t get picked top 5 he’ll be available at 8 imo, don’t think Detroit or Buffalo will take him.

 

[Joey Moss]

1. Devils - Hughes
2. Rangers - Kakko
3. Hawks - Turcotte
4. Avs - Dach
5. Kings - Byram
6. Wings - Cozens
7. Sabres - Zegras
8. Oilers - Boldy

Hoping for Dach, think it will be Boldy.

 

[AvOiL]

Sticking to what my gut has been telling me for a few weeks:

Picks 1-7
1) Devils - Hughes
2) Rangers - Kakko
3) Hawks - Turcotte
4) Avs - Byram
5) Kings - Dach
6) Red Wings - Cozens
7) Sabres - Caufield

The Oilers will pick...
Zegras

I want the Oilers to pick...
Zegras

I don't want the Oilers to pick...
Broberg or Podkolzin

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

Needs more bounce.

 

[Niten Ichi Ryu]

Your top 6 is money. Hoping for Boldy or Krebs at 8th. Please not Broberg
