2018 NHL Entry Draft Thread (Less then 24 Hours Edition)

[NotProkofievian]

EV iP/60 for Kupari is 1.2732

EV iP/60 for Kotkaniemi is 1.6887

Kupari's 5v4 iP/60 is about twice as high as Kotkaniemi's (same points, half the ice time), but I'd be a little cautious with that number. Kupari sponged a few points off some spectacular individual plays by his linemates.

Thanks, looks like he got a lil help from that canadian stick.

 

[Per Sjoblom]

I hope Sweden will lose. When they win all their group games they rarely win the tournament. Same with all Sweden's teams (men, junior) except the women, they are always bad.

 

[The Great Weal]

Boqvist at #3 for me now

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Boqvists is really growing on me after seeing more of him. In a perfect world we get Dahlin or Svech.. but ending this awful year with someone like Boqvists or Wahlstrom would be be great.

The Swedes do tend to have disappointing junior tournament results, for whatever reason. They don't have nearly the number of medals they should in the last several years.

What a play by Dellendrea and the finish by Lavoie.

 

[ProspectsSTC]

Merkley showing just how great his skating and vision is, now for the bad plays for the rest of the game

 

[WeThreeKings]

Hillis again with just a beautiful pass in his own end to create the transition.

Boqvist at #3 for me now

I was telling people that Zadina was never a lock for 3.

I was telling people that Zadina was never a lock for 3.

Wahlstrom is better. Svechnikov is the best.

 

[The Great Weal]

I was telling people that Zadina was never a lock for 3.

People may laugh, but I got Boqvist, Wahlstrom and Hughes all ahead.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Lundkvist dishing some hot fire with those first passes.

Lol Ginning

Wow Russia scored 3 in a minute and a half.

 

[NotProkofievian]

NP presents, fun with stupid swedish pronunciation: it's actually a lot closer to Barry-gren. Lol, silly swedes.

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

1. Dahlin
2. Svechnikov
3. Boqvist
4. Wahlstrom

Are all pretty much lock for me, been like that for a while. Then not 100% sure how to order;

Zadina
Dobson
Hughes.

Exact same for me, and in the exact order you just listed them

 

[Goldenhands]

Lavoie is amazing, by far the best foward on the ice today... looks like a future first line center, lets tank again next year!! Hughes Lavoie Alexandrov Turcotte ect...

 

[Adam Michaels]

 

[S Bah]

Boqvist does have a really good shot, that's the big potential tie-breaker between him and Hughes in my book.

Boqvist could very easily play as a forward, speedy, stickhandling and vision are some of his talents, his shot obviously NHL calibre. He has been working on the defensive awareness this season, he's lethal offensively already.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Huge shift by Dellendrea

 

[NotProkofievian]

Boqvist tryna get some of that Lundkvist hot fire on the stretch pass. Iced the puck. Bust.

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

Some people still think there is a Svechnikov/Zadina debate?
