yeah I remember Bouchard being in the 20-25 range...now he is likely to go top 10

 

[Halla]

Rasmus Dahlin if possible...

its not unless we care to trade matthews to zona for 1OA

Steve Kournianos - The Draft Analyst - October 12th: "Alert and versatile forward with good speed and a wide range of attributes who has performed well beyond expectations as a 17-year-old playing key minutes in Finland’s top league. Kotkaniemi comes across as a smart, clean player with or without the puck and can play either center or wing. He is used on the penalty kill and in late-game situations, showing defensive prowess regardless of the job he’s assigned."

4 points in 4 games at Hlinka.

6'2"-6'3" 17 year old... (Could grow more)

For example Teräväinen had 0.45 PPG, Aho had 0.41 PPG, Kapanen had 0.3 and he has 0.49 PPG.

and puljujarvi had a 0.56. its very hard to predict what those guys will become

Why is Puljujärvi exemplified like he is a bust? The guy is 19 years old, and already an NHLer.

 

[Spirit of 67]

Jett Woo, just for the name.

Me too.

Why is Puljujärvi exemplified like he is a bust? The guy is 19 years old, and already an NHLer.

because he crushed the totals of guys like Aho and Teravianen and yet I doubt thats translates the same way to the NHL.

I never said Puljujarvi is a bust....but the oilers are definitely disappointed with his 26pts in 80 games after he was considered to be laines near equal when drafted. Tkachuk,Keller,McAvoy,Sergachev,Chychrun...me thinks edmonton muffed another pick

remember when everyone though columbus was crazy for taking dubois? 37pts this year as a 19 year old C

 

[Sundinisagod]

From that list Woo is my choice.

Merkley is intriguing, I'm on the fence with him, I'll trust Hunter's decision whatever way he goes.

 

[Morgs]

If I had to choose a defenseman I believe to be available at that pick, I would take Sandin or Alexeyev over every guy on that list.

But even those guys are behind Denisenko and Kravtsov for me.

[ACC1224]

The best one available.

 

[LDN]

Bouchard!

 

[Ricky Bobby]

How about a Centre, we already have some decent D in the system. Plus from what I am reading it is very likely we will be signing Ozhiganov.

TB has built such a strong team because they usually draft C and let them play wing if they can’t cut it there.

The bigger reason for Tampa being so good is cause they hit homeruns on some picks in Kucherov (W), Vasivesky (G), Palat (W). None of whom are centers. They've also been good in other areas like contract management, pro-scouting, etc., etc.
