Prospect Info: 2019 Draft Thread: Oilers Picking 8th

[Llamamoto]

Cozens feels like a Kings type of pick to me.

I just asked a bunch of Kings fans and it was Cozens>Pod>Dach. Looking good!

 

[Soundwave]

If Podkolzin tumbles to 8 I wonder what the Oilers do.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Trade down for a later first and a second and take Caufield.

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Should put a poll at the top:
Trade the pick
Keep the pick

And trade down for a second and lower first.

 

[MettleMcOiler]

Keep the pick. I think we will be getting a very good player. Don't trade it.

Meh

It looks better in recent years. And I'm sure someone good will fall to our pick.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

If Podkolzin tumbles to 8 I wonder what the Oilers do.

Ask Columbus what their scouting is on him.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

is anyone nhl ready?

aside from broberg

 

[duul]

Doesn't look like there is a defenceman worth drafting at 8. Why not consider packaging the pick for a solid top pairing guy on a floundering team?

 

[ImmuneEH]

Don't trade the pick, you have to build through the draft, and we'll get a very good player at 8.

I'm guessing Byram, Cozens, and Podkolzin are for sure off the board before we pick. Cozens has all the tools, I know a team before us won't pass up on him.

So my prediction is that at least two of Turcotte, Zegras, Dach, and Krebs will be available at our pick. Can't really go wrong with any of them. I'd prefer Turcotte, but if he's not available I'm pretty 'whatever' on who we pick between Dach, Zegras, or Krebs... all are great picks.

 

[Soundwave]

Ask Columbus what their scouting is on him.

lol, Bobby Burgers should totally do that.

 

[Llamamoto]

I do not like Broberg. No IQ whatsoever.

It's 2019. Oilers need forwards now

[dss97]

We can’t even win the draft lottery anymore smh what a bunch of losers

 

[snipes]

Dach just scored

 

[780il]

I'm hoping and praying Dach is there at 8.

Come home Kirby!

 

[Garbo Man]

Speaking of which Dach just scored

Meanwhile at 9
2016 - Sergachev
2015 - Meier
2014 - Ehlers
2013 - Horvat
2012 - Trouba
2011 - Hamilton
2010 - Granlund

Talent is there if the scouts try

 

[nuck]

I like 8.

It guarantees we have a shot at a guy I like and it's far enough back that the guys I don't really want will hopefully have been taken.

Give me Turcotte/Dach/Zegras/Krebs.

Cozens for me altho Dach is close. Upside is Monahan+. I am quite happy with #8 given the available options this year. No trading the pick without a 1st and a big plus coming back.

 

[snipes]

Doesn't look like there is a defenceman worth drafting at 8. Why not consider packaging the pick for a solid top pairing guy on a floundering team?

Cam York is worth an honest look.

He has some enormous offensive upside.

 

[The Batman]

Here was Dach's goal he just scored.

 

[XXIV97]

We still get a very good prospect. 3-8/9 is kind of a wash in terms of prospects.

Bouchard + Dach/Anyone else is a good foundation for a new pipeline of prospects.

 

[MettleMcOiler]

I'm happy with 8 but little sad we won't get a shot at Byram. I hope Dach or Krebs will still be there.
