Prospect Info: Draft Thread | Oilers Select 4th Overall

[Giggli G]

Wow, Tkachuk has 16 goals and 33 points in 14 playoff games.

If we don't trade the pick, I have a problem seeing an issue with him.

I wouldn't be surprised if Tkachuk climbs to 3rd on the draft day....

Unless the deal for a top pairing dman, I would rather make the pick. Tkachuk is going to be a good player, and fills a need in terms of grit in the top 6.

Little chance a Finnish GM passes on a Finn.

 

[dss97]

How much of a factor does playing with Marner and Dvorak play in his production? Doesn't he play on a line with them? Just curious, I don't watch London.

Edit: talking about Tkachuk

 

[Aerchon]

I was flipping back and forth whether it would be nicer to just not win and enjoy the lack of hate or win and improve the team.

Now that it's done I am happy with how the draft went.

Would have been nice if Toronto didnt get first but all three eastern conference teams and two of them Canadian is very cool.

And hopefully the league can lay off of us for awhile.

 

[The Moose]

Would the Islanders take the 4th for Harmonic? Would WE do that?

Not by itself but the fourth and a guy like Davidson and or Yak "should" get the job done.

Hamonic does not bring the puck moving ability we need. He can break out just fine, but does not possess that offensive dimension to offer up 4 on a platter like that. Besides which, it is known he wants to be somewhere else besides his current location -- why offer more than you need to?

 

[Soundwave]

No Hamonic for the 4th. Hamonic is not a good enough player. We need an offensive PP QB back there, Hamonic has scored over 30 points once in his career. He's a career no.2 guy. Solid, but not worth that high of a pick.

If we're moving the pick we need to really get our needs back there sorted out.

And he plays a very pro style game, lots of his goals come from in close. Not saying that he'll be better than Laine, far from it, but I think he'll have a smoother transition to the pros.

He's not big, his skating needs work and he doesn't help out defensively. People claim that he plays tough but he really doesn't.

No chance that happens.

Do that then trade Eberle for Vatanen, sign Demers, buyout Fayne

Klef - Hamonic
Sekera - Vatanen
Davidson - Demers
Nurse - Reinhart

I'm comfortable with that going forward personally.

[Canovin]

I could see the Jackets taking Dubois just an elite 2 way center is what they need. But Jarno is Finnish so is Pulju so there's that

 

[LTIR]

yeh or it could be Hamonic + NYI 1st for the 4th overall..

who knows what the GMs value him at.

Do this many people still think Winnipeg is in Atlanta, or...?

Don't even really care about Toronto winning, but getting bumped by Winnipeg is terrible.

 

[Arpeggio]

Yeah are we sure we don't want Dubois? He looks good, and big.

 

[Aerchon]

Ah damn forgot about Winnipeg being in the central.

Ah well, I like Winnipeg and think they needed it. At least they are not in our division.

 

[Aerchon]

That is who I want for #4 if we keep our pick.

I honestly don't think it matters who we take at 4. Everyone is good but not great in the next tier.

 

[5 14 6 1]

Dubois or trade it

 

[SweatpantsNiceShoes]

The 4th and Yak/Eberle for Hamonic.
Make it happen!

 

[tjziel]

Who do we pick with the 4th overall pick (Post- Lottery)

So the Edmonton Oilers are picking 4th overall which could be really nice for us actually. I'm inclined that it definitely makes sense taking Jakob Chychrun here, and I'm from London and have seen Olli Juolevi play and he is great, but I like the "Drew Doughty" like playing style that Chychrun offers.......

 

[McFlyingV]

The 4th and Yak/Eberle for Harmonic.
Make it happen!

Please god no.

 

[Pi]

Why do you guys like Hamonic so much? 4th overall pick >> Hamonic. He's good but not worth a top 5 pick.

If I were the Oilers, I'm calling Bergevin everyday and trying to get Subban. 4th overall + RNH/Drai gets you Subban + Juulsen if Bergevin and Therrien are stupid enough to trade him.
