He's kind of like a mini Patrik Laine, the way he loops, protects the puck, dangles and shoots. Really likes to handle the puck, great passer as well.

This draft was very deep, even in a re-draft I doubt he cracks top 10. Great prospects like Konecny and Aho went behind him, and I don't think he's drastically outperformed the people in front of him outside of the Boston picks and Guryanov. The only two in the top 10 I could see him challenging are Zacha and Meier, and Connor, Barzel and White would also deserve some discussion there.
He's moved up significantly as a result of his play this year. I'd have him right around number 10 in a redraft but if he keeps building on this year next year who knows what his ceiling is. Not many players have scored at the rate he is scoring as an 18 year old. It's quite extraordinary.
Craig button had him rated #9, Bobby Mac think had him 14th?
Wide variance on his projection for whatever reason.
26th, was more saying how deep the top 10 was. Out of the forwards I only really see him challenging Zacha and Meier. Button was the only person with him top 10, and somehow ISS didn't have him ranked. He's moved up, its just alot of the guys picked ahead of him have either lived up to expectations or surpassed them, similar to Boeser.

i want the bartkowski thread back
2015 was quite a top-heavy year. I doubt he'd crack it at the moment. Off the top of my head, I'd definitely take the 10 following players over him.
- Connor McDavid
- Jack Eichel
- Dylan Strome
- Mitch Marner
- Noah Hanifin
- Ivan Provorov
- Mikko Rantanen
- Mathew Barzal
- Kyle Connor
- Zach Werenski

Nothing wrong with what you said. Someone leaked their last year final rankings, apparently we had boeser at number 12. Can any Canuck post that image of the Canucks final rankings.

I don't know, I personally don't think he'd go that much higher in a re-draft. I think he's one of those picks that most people didn't know about, and the fact that he's a first round talent has been validated. A few draft experts had him pretty high prior to the month leading up to the draft, but if you look at his thread prior to June, there are very few posts about him. He also didn't even make the USA WJC-18 team.
I'd take McDavid, Eichel, Strome, Marner, Hanifin, Provorov, Werenski, Rantanen, Barzal, Connor, Chabot, White, Samsonov, Konecny, Juulsen, Larsson, Beauvillier, Aho, Carlo, Sprong, Saarela, Kaprizov before Boeser.
Thats exactly 22 players, and as weird of a coincidence as that seems that its exactly 22, I just went through the 2015 draft on wikipedia quickly, picked players I'd rather have over Boeser, and it added up to 22, so I think Boeser was picked exactly where he should've, although he definitely wasn't a high profile pick, so the Canucks deserve credit for picking a player who wasn't talked about as much leading up to the draft as a lot of first rounders.

Yeah with how deep the draft was I see it iffy of him going top-15 despite his ridiculous college numbers. I'd still take him over saarela, samsonov, Kaprizov, carlo, beauvillier, and possibly konecny although you could make a case for any of those players as they are all great prospects.
I know Carlo gets underrated a lot and I was guilty of that at the draft but he has impressed me a lot this year, especially during preseason with the B's. Saarela is also doing great in Liiga but even though Liiga is a harder league, Boeser's unreal production along with his shot (top-3 of the draft I think) make me lean towards him as being the better prospect.

It's been known for a while though, that USHL kids are difficult to track because of the competition. NHL teams are more focused on scouting kids from Canadian juniors and European leagues so USHL kids are ranked all over the place in the draft. You just don't know what you are going to get. Who knows if your going to get a Patrick White, Sam Gagner, or a Dylan Larkin. NHL teams are noticing this, and the number of guys that get drafted every year has doubled from 2004 and basically produce a star almost ever year since.
Wouldn't call it a steal. I hate calling players steals. Boeser was an unknown, much like most prospects that are drafted. It comes down to development for all of kids that are picks. Boeser has developed well, and so has a lot of different players.
Why can't people just accept that they were drafted were they were supposed to. After that, it's all about a bit of luck.

What kind of post is this. lol. So hes not a good prospect because no one knew about him... what does your first paragraph even mean.
The only players that you would take over him that definitely would go over him are Mcdavid, Eichel, Strome, Marner, Hanifin, Provorov, Werenski, Rantanen, Connor, Barzal. Everyone else? Debatable. And your list of names after Konecny have no chance in going over Boeser besides Aho. You would take Carlo and Sprong over Boeser. Boeser has a higher GPG and almost the same ppg as Sprong as a freshman in the NCAA

At the time of the draft, Boeser would have been expected to have a season that would be classified as:
poor if he scored under 0.6 ppg
good if he scored 0.8 ppg
great if he scored 1.0 ppg
The fact now is that he is blowing those expectations out of the water. Also he had some trouble adjusting to the league in the beginning and had no points in like 4 of 6 of his first few games. Now he's on fire and wrecking the NCAA.

Who cares about who he'd take over who. It's not like it's set and stone. Many of them haven't done anything in the NHL.
If you are a canucks fan, you should be ashamed of yourself. With the number of guys that were supposed to be good that busted. The last thing you'd want to do is make quick judgement.
