2018 NHL draft

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.

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.

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?

 

I can only guarantee a few draft picks after #1 when I will lobby big time to trade to around #25 to take Jared McIsaac ...  :P

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.

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.

And get traded during thier interviews about the team that drafted them.
