NHL Entry Draft 2018 Draft - Prospect Discussion (Poll added)

[BondraTime]

Zadina really is a treat. Unreal tonight so far here in Halifax.

Man, Justin Barron is phenomenal. Halifax is a prospect factory (for obvious reason)

 

[aragorn]

Shoud we not be looking at prospects in the 4th rd & beyond? Although PD could make some deals to get back a couple of earlier picks, I'm just not sure he will get a first back.

I would think anything inside the top 50 will be out of our reach

Looking for buried treasure then?

 

[JonnyMacSen]

The 67's have a few players ranked in the later rounds this year in Bahl, Clark, Robertson, Bitten etc. I might check out that outdoor game vs Gatineau.

 

[Sun God Nika]

thank god that pic is top 10 protected.

 

[Sun God Nika]

11% Chance at top 2 pick. Dahlin and Svechnikov would be huge saviours if it could happen.

Hoffman - Duchene - Svechnikov
Ryan - White - Stone
Dzingel - Brassard - Brown
Chlapik - Pageau - Pyatt

or

Dahlin - Karlsson
Chabot - Ceci
Claesson - Phaneuf
Harpur
Jaros
Boro


a man can dream..

 

[BondraTime]

Filip Hallander is a guy we should look at in the 3rd,. He impresses me every time I watch him with Timra.

Jacob Olafsson would be a guy I'd look at had we kept our 1st, he has some impressive tools..

Do Sens still have a thing against Russians?

Do Sens still have a thing against Russians?

Playing in Russia, probably.

Playing in NA, no.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Dahlin is the dream!

 

[BondraTime]

Looks like our 1st "MAY" be a possibility this season.

Should we pick 7-10 I have a feeling we may hear Noah Dobson's name called.

While I'm a fan of Dobson and RD is the Sens weakest position in terms of depth, if they are drafting in the top 10 it might be a bit of a reach. I'm hoping for Zadina, Bobqvist, Merkley, Hughes.

I don't think it will be a reach come June from what I have heard thus far the year.

No doubt Zadina should be taken before, he is unbelievable.

I don't have a good/any grasp on the other guys unfortunately.

Dobson should be the 2nd guy from the Q selected, and IMO will be in the first half of the 1st.

I def agree with this, I was hoping he'd stay under the radar a bit but he's been gradually climbing up the rankings, and for good reason. He's better than McIsaac IMO and I haven't seen much of Veleno but didn't seem like much of a top 10 pick when I did.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

in the 7 -10 range I like Quinn Hughes and Ty Smith on D.

 

[Tkachuckycheese]

If I was the Sens and had a top 10 pick. I'd strongly would love the Sens to pick Brady Tkachuk or Oliver Wahlstrom. They don't have a player like Tkachuk in their system that plays a gritty power game. You can't have enough centers. Wahlstrom high end skillset that is a pure shifty right shooter. Again Sens don't have too many of those guys.

I really don't want a player whose calling card is playing a hard gritty came.

We need a creative play maker who can skate, hold the puck, and shoot.

Someone like Nylander or an Ehlers.

 

[Karl Prime]

Would much rather have Wahlstrom than Tkachuk.

 

[BondraTime]

Dobson ranked 6th on Sportsnet's list, which falls in line with what I have heard. Pretty sure he was on Mann's list prior to the season, I'm certain he's there now.

He is so similar to Chabot it is scary, both on ice, and draft rise.

 

[Alex1234]

Dahlin:


He defends like Lidström, skates like Karlsson, Ray Ferraro (TSN) 2017

I think Dahlin is going to be a great NHL player. But to say he's going to be a Lidstrom/Karlsson hybrid is putting a lot of pressure on him. A Lidstrom/Karlsson hybrid would be the most dominant defenseman ever.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

Going to be lovely when we pass on a guy like Dominick bokk to pick a rugged safe guy who gives a good interview.

Bright side is that we might not have a 1st.

 

[DJB]

Well top ten pick or pkayoffs right?

 

[DJB]

This league is built on speed and skill. Hopefully we go that direction
