Speculation: 2016 NHL Entry Draft Discussion (Part III)

[buggs]

If we don't move up to the top 3, or if a guy like PLD or Tkachuk doesn't drop to 6 or 7, I am fully on board with taking Jost over one of the D. I've loved watching him in the U18's.

I'm coming around as well. I had him as the classic Chevy stretch pick, but I'm not so sure it's a stretch if we're at 7-8-9.

If the Jets are picking 6-8, the question might come down to Jost, Nylander or an LHD?

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

What would you do if Chevy traded for Jordie Benn?

Flip him for Luke Schenn.

 

[Aavco Cup]

What would you do if Chevy traded for Jordie Benn?

If it was for Mark Stuart, jump for joy

Pronman asked about a Laine comp:



Uh, what?

Uh, what?

He's joking

10/10

 

[Rheged]

Pronman's not a fan of being asked about player comparisons.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Uh, what?

Sooooo, the anser is that he isn't anything like Zac Rinaldo. That's not a bad recommendation ..... as far as it goes.

bang on comparison.

It makes sense now.

I like to cast the net a bit wide....

If we get a top-3 pick, how about.... Matthews, Laine, Pulju, PLD, Chychrun, Tkachuk, Juolevi, Serg, Nylander, Jost.

If we are #6-8.... Pulju, PLD, Chychrun, Tkachuk, Jost, Juolevi, Serg, Fabbro, Keller, McLeod, Nylander, Bean, Rubtsov, Brown, Bean.

Thoughts?

For #22-24, I'll need to do some more research, and would welcome suggestions.

Assuming the Jets take a forward early in the 1st, I'd be looking at players like Dineen, Johansen, Clague, Girard and Moverare with the Chicago pick and the 2nd round pick.

 

[untouchable21]

What is scary about Serg?

I don't know, just find his play in my viewings to be too erratic.

Really all three of Chychrun, Sergachev and Juolevi have warts in their games that make me doubt them. I think Chychrun has the highest upside of the three and honestly at 6 or 7 would probably be okay gambling on, but would prefer a forward.

At this point if PLD and Tkachuk are off the board, I want Jost or Keller before Juolevi or Sergachev and don't have much interest in Nylander.

Top 3. Good list. But really teams are only looking at 1 guy at #1 (Matthews), 1 or 2 guys at #2 (Laine or PLD). Most of that list fits more for if we pick #3.

Top 6-8. Pretty solid list there too. Only need one Bean report, though.

At #22-#24, for me that group includes Bellows, Tuffe, McAvoy, Dineen, Kunin, Johanson, Thompson, Benson, Clague, Stanley, Laberge, and Fabbro.

Thanks. Maybe a Swede in the mix too? Dahlen? Asplund?

I agree. D in the mix for the second 1st.

 

[Bob E]

Sure. Think Asplund goes before our pick, but he could be there sure.

Didn't include Max Jones, as he likely goes earlier, too, though Chevy might like his game.

 

[Constable]

I don't see how people can actually like Jones higher than 20. I've said this a lot in the past couple of weeks but he could have a career path like everyone's favourite RW, Steve Downie.

If markus niemeläinen could squeak down to our 2nd round pick I would be very happy.

Serg. Erratic. What do you mean by this? Game to game? Shift to shift? General comment about style of play?

Agreed had someone I know at game today also liked Brown for 2nd pick got tickets for both semis for 35 bucks total

I thought chychrun was number 3 until recently. What has caused his fall? Me thinks he goes 4

Canada vs Sweden semi final, on TSN just now. Re-match of the game at the Iceplex here a few weeks ago.
