Who do you take at 9th Overall

[Irishguy42]

Who the F would be his top rated center?

I bet it's Tkachuk

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Knowing Proman, Wahlstrom or Tkachuk. Ayy lmao.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I bet it's Tkachuk

Might as well rate Dahlin as the best center.

Yeah he's a D, but he spends so much time in the offensive zone that he might as well be a center- CP

I’ve never never liked this guy pronman. I don’t think he knows his ass from his elbow. In that article he also have Filip Chytil going 13-15 if he were in this year’s draft. It’s an assinine comment considering he’d be the number 1 center on the board and wouldn’t get passed Montreal’s pick

But, but, but...he’s so glib!

Clearly, he must be on to something; he says it with such conviction!

 

[Edge]

I remain unimpressed by Pronman as a talent evaluator.

The funny thing is that he has some good points interwoven into his stuff. You just have to go in with the understanding that he’s looking for very specific things.

In his defense, I will say there is some valid points there about the Bouchard-Boqvist age elements. It’s not that far off from some of the conversations we’ve had concerning Bouchard and Dobson.

With that said, then you have the skating comments and I shake my head and feel like I am about to chastise one of my children for being obnoxious and that they need to go sit down and be quiet.

His take is narrow that he misses a lot, most notably Kreider and Miller.

 

[broadwayblue]

Like with every draft, I just want the BPA who will be in the NHL as quickly as possible and puts up tons of points.

So which is it, BPA or quickest to the NHL?

Admittedly, he and I tend to have very different approaches to how we view prospects.

And this is why I put more faith in what you and others on this site have to say about prospects than many of the so-called experts.

We already did that with Lias let’s not do that again.

High-end talent all the way.

 

[Kovalev27]

High-end talent all the way.

We have to hit a home run here with this top 10 pick cannot play it safe. I need a number 1 dman or a top end winger

I want both out of this 1st round.

We make that Zucc deal with Edmonton we could get away with it.

 

[broadwayblue]

Agreed. And maybe we can find a way to get both.

 

[Pizza]

I want both out of this 1st round.

Amen to that.

With the depth of this draft, the options at our disposal, that has to be the goal.

No half measures.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

I don't know why people can't just take Pronman with a grain of salt.

No he isn't Nostradamus. It's one data point. I wrote him off as soon as the whole "St Croix thing" happened, but then I kept reading.

He clearly describes what he sees, while laying our his biases in the broad light of day. Which is more than I can say for 98% of this board. Agree, disagree - you say tomato / I say potato. It's prospects.

BPA

I mean, yes.

But I think the problem with that is...who is BPA? No real consensus.

Who shoots the most and has the most goals? That guy.

 

[RangerBoy]

Trade up.

 

[NYR Viper]

Trade up.

No need, they're getting the #2

 

[Miamipuck]

Meh trade up in shallow drafts, in deep talented drafts you get as many picks as possible and keep picking BPA.

 

[Off Sides]

Who shoots the most and has the most goals? That guy.

I sort of agree if it's a forward but how would one compensate for the difference in the the various leagues they are shooting and scoring in? For a long time the Q was, maybe still is seen as a the most offensive orientated league versus the others. Also the outside of North America leagues, Kopitar and such would likely be missed by going just by scoring/shooting, heck he was missed as he was drafted 11th and is in my opinion the 2nd best player out of that whole draft.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

That's how you end up with guys like Grachev
