dudacek Posted June 20, 2018 Report Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) I’m I the only one who thinks that pick 3 is worth less than normal this year? I mean I like all the guys that could go there, I just don’t see elite upside. Tkachuk - his brother? Scott Hartnell, maybe? Zadina - Jordan Eberle Hughes - Tyson Barrie Wahlstrom -Jeff Skinner Kotkaniemi - Mikael Backlund All going to be good players, IMO, but not studs like Svechnikov. If there is one year I’d consider trading three, it would be this one. Edited June 20, 2018 by dudacek Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted June 20, 2018 Report Posted June 20, 2018 I think Zadina will be roughly Mike Bossy. It's true. Quote

If there is one year I’d consider trading three, it would be this one. I covered this in the trade speculation thread, but I agree. I'd be happy with any of 6 guys, but I don't feel particularly strongly about any one of them to be interested in paying the price premium of a 3rd overall pick versus, say, 8th overall. Quote
shrader Posted June 21, 2018 Report Posted June 21, 2018 I think Zadina will be roughly Mike Bossy. It's true. I want Zadina just so that you'll finally stop begging this team to draft a Halifax player. It should buy us at least one year off from that, right? Quote

Brawndo Posted June 22, 2018 Report Posted June 22, 2018 Bode Wilde has been taken off a few draft boards because of maturity and work ethic concerns Quote
Rasmus_ Posted June 22, 2018 Report Posted June 22, 2018 Wahlstrom is Boeser He reminds of Boeser as well. He's the one guy outside of Kotkaniemi that I'm all about as far as outside the top 2 forwards. So if we had a shot at Wahlstrom, I'd be swinging to bring him in. He's easily as tantalizing a talent as anyone and he's a better skater than Zadina. Quote

shrader Posted June 22, 2018 Report Posted June 22, 2018 Yet another reason why hockey is better than bounceyball. At the NHL draft, they immediately put on the jersey of their new team. In bounceyball, they parade around in hideous suits. Quote

In bounceyball, they parade around in hideous suits. And get traded during thier interviews about the team that drafted them. Quote

bunomatic Posted June 22, 2018 Report Posted June 22, 2018 Oh you are in Canada... um TSN? Yeah. Time was what I needed and that helped. I work till 5 so I'm hoping there's a bunch of bullspit intros and talkin and shite before it gets started. Quote
Derrico Posted June 22, 2018 Report Posted June 22, 2018 Yeah. Time was what I needed and that helped. I work till 5 so I'm hoping there's a bunch of bullspit intros and talkin and shite before it gets started. Coverage on TSN begins at 7. Quote

LTS Posted June 22, 2018 Report Posted June 22, 2018 Coverage starts at 7pm on NBCSN as well I believe. The question is... when does Buffalo make the first pick? Quote
Crusader1969 Posted June 22, 2018 Author Report Posted June 22, 2018 I agree. LHD are probably out. The run to the podium players are my targets at 32. OHL prospects Blog's Brock Otten is thinking that Dellandrea is now going to be picked in the top 20. Quote
Crusader1969 Posted June 22, 2018 Author Report Posted June 22, 2018 Latest Mock draft from the Athletic's Pronman has Dellandrea and Berggren going in round 1. Jay O'Brien #3 on our list? Quote
