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

[Pompeius Magnus]

Noel has certainly used the opportunity to it's fullest. A team may very well take a chance on him in the late first out of the U18 alone, McCarron style.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Give me Berggren, or give me death.

It’s hard to choose between Tkachuk and Wahlstrom. I think both will have a good NHL career. If we can trade Pacioretty to get another pick then do so. Ideally Tkachuk Wahlstrom on the same line going forward would make us better.

Both players have what we lack in goal scoring size grit on top 6. Wahlstrom looks to be a perimeter player like Galchenyuk and Pacioretty. Tkachuk would be the guy I put on the powerplay with Gallagher. Those two will create hell in front of the net.

I hope we get him in the second. Fonstad, Merkley and Noel all look like great 2nd round options in this game.

Are we still picking between Wahlstrom and Tkachuk? Still Wahlstrom as he’ll get up the ice a lot quicker and still has that lethal shot.

I know we’re down by a goal and in our zone in this example, but I would still put Drouin out there as center, or at worst, Danault. I know Plekanec is more consistent faceoff wise, but he’s useless offensively.

Lol Drouin is a quick way to say you want to tank.

Danault I agree.

Hughes was generating all the offense on his line today, Wahlstrom was just there to be a shooting option it seems like. Hoping to see more out of him in the next few games. Today wasn't top5 overall pick material.

I have never seen Akil Thomas do anything. Ever.

Yeah he really doea have stretches where hes so useless.

Thats Wahlstrom though and thats the success hell have in he NHL.

Noel isn't falling out of the first round, probably not even out of the top 20

Bust style.

Berggren is my 2nd OA mancrush on the Mrb1p 2018 Mancrush list.

 

[ProspectsSTC]

Merkley back to being bad Merkley

 

[The Great Weal]

Foudy looks good

I know, I still have him 4th overall, that was just 1 game, vs Canada he played better. But still, I dropped Zadina because I found Zadina too much of a one dimensional shooting type player, I think Wahlstrom has a more dynamic game, but this is not what I saw today.

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

Foudy looks good

The guy who drafted him 3rd round in the mock draft got such a good selection

 

[The Great Weal]

I think I'd take Tychonick over Sandin

Almost as good as Kaut at 39

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

Almost as good as Kaut at 39

But not as good as Shafigullin at #44.

Tychonick hasn't looked great to me today.

-----

Bahl looks so weird when he skates. But what I do like is that he has pretty good decision making for his size. He'll get taken before he should be though

 

[The Great Weal]

Tychonick hasn't looked great to me today.

Can't agree, I like what I'm seeing.

 

[NotProkofievian]

You son of a bitch. Are you drafting ahead of me in the main mock again?

 

[Habs76]

Here's to hoping Noel bombs the rest of the tournament and falls to our 2nd

 

[Habs76]

Can't agree, I like what I'm seeing.

I thought he looked better as the game went on, good positional defense. I don't like the lack of speed combined with small stature though. There are some major red flags.

 

[The Great Weal]

I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but I like Dudas.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Kotkaniemi is trucking fools in this game.
