2019 NHL ENTRY DRAFT - Vancouver

[Mickey107]

Russia just ousted the US in the U18, however. You can scratch Caulfield from being available at 10/no-way.
The 5.7 kid was the best player for the US in this tourney.
Jack H, was only so-so and defensively not good.
Oh well, where some rise, others will drop.

Apparently the 5’-7” is a generous measurement for Caulfield. The pundits are saying it’s 5’-6”

But there is always room in the league for your feisty Spud Webb novel crowd pleasers. I remember being a fan of Bobby Lalonde as a kid

Apparently his skating isn’t good cause his legs are very short Cody Hodgson style. You need a good gait to skate. Speaking of Cotton Hill he had a great U-18 tourney prior to Gillis drafting him.

[Chef Boi RD]

Suzuki isn’t impressive at all. Broberg is impressive. It’s a saw off between Harley and Broberg for big mobile, puck moving D-men. Concussions? - Soderstrom! Warning sign? Cozens skating continues to impress for a tall guy, moves like he’s 5’-11” speedster with the puck. Love Krebs motor and skill combination. Rees, Zary and Tommasino are good players

[Chef Boi RD]

If I were to guess, Boldy, Caulfield, Krebs, Broberg and Newhook have risen while Podkozlin and Zegras have fallen.

Hughes, Kakko, Turcotte, Byram, Cozens, Dach remain stagnant

[Chef Boi RD]

2nd round pick hopefuls - Rees and Korczak

Have you seen Moritz Seider (German) play? other than Soderstrom it looks like he's the only other RHD ranked in the top 30.

[Cousin Strawberry]

Shit this Broberg kid could be a steal. 6'3 and over 200lbs at 17. Who cares if hes a lefty...you make room for the kind of potential this kid has...plus we already have a small fry dman. If I'm gillis I'm taking this kid if the top guys are all gone by 10

Philip Broberg is a smart two-way defenceman with undeniable skill. His fluid skating ability allows him to punish over-extension immediately with how quickly he can start plays from his own end. What his impressive mobility tends to overshadow, though, is his positional play. While he doesn't always make the high percentage play, he is very perceptive and thinks his decisions through. On the fly, he pays close attention to where the puck's going and where it's been. This allows him to read the play early and make the most of any time and space found. All-in-all, Broberg could be the most complete defenceman in his draft class. He's got elite mobility and hockey sense, and he doesn't give up his own end. (Curtis Joe, EP 2018)

He has exceptional skating ability and exceptional command of the game in every single regard, Craig Button - TSN 2018
Smooth defenseman, likes to take advantage of his remarkable skating ability and good reach to carry the puck up the ice, Draftin Europe 2018

A few very different thing with the NFL vs the NHL when it comes to the draft.

Rosters are huge in the NFL with 11 offensive positions and 11 more defensive positions. Teams don't draft BPA, they draft for need meaning you can target the guy you want and then look at the teams drafting around you and their needs with much more confidence the in the NHL where teams tend to go for BPA and only 6 different positions. Add to that the players coming out of the draft either make the team's roster or are cut and unemployed. There is little in the way of a farm system to develop or store players.

astute.

I'd argue that Skyo. I think theres about 12 picks that have the higher potential then youre working your way into flawed project types. I would sit tight and try to maybe move roster players out for picks than step out of the golden zone

Yeah true, typically top 10 picks get the best of the bunch in that year, with a few sleeper picks from the rest of the few hundred prospects, scouts have to ask the good questions when out there to find those hidden gems. I'm really curious who falls our way at #10 this year, I'd love a Podkolzin, don't care for the russian factor here, his potential is supreme and he'd be eager to prove his doubters wrong in a couple years.

however this draft at #15 a good player will still be available imo from Newhook, Caufield, Kaliyev, Soderstrom, Lavoie, Harley, speaking of Harley...

This Harley kid is impressive, you can see why he’s climbing some scouts lists. Big, is a very good skater, excellent puck mover with good offensive instincts. Haven’t had s chance to see Soderstrom or Broberg at the U-18’s, curious how these 3 compare

Yeah Thomas Harley is probably this years version of Travis Sanheim(17th overall pick) or Thomas Chabot(18th overall pick)
Harley's been ranked anywhere from #12-#17.

If I'm gillis I'm taking this kid if the top guys are all gone by 10

well now you've jinxed him because we all know the gillis can't draft for shit

Pretty tiring writing all that out, eh Dan?
Benning is there right now. You'd have to think this guy is gittin the big scout peep.

[Cousin Strawberry]

Benning....Gillis same shit. Both have double contestants in the middle. Plus theyre almost identical in how they run the canucks so easily mistaken.

[Chef Boi RD]

Broberg has definitely won me over. Too bad Soderstrom is out with a concussion but if I’m picking between Broberg and Harley it’s Broberg.

This Zary kid is good (a 2020 draft prospect)

[SKYO]

size ain't everything, that's what she said.



and krebs/boldy/hookster outshining turcotte/cozens/zegras.

Karl Henriksson, Rees, Amirov, Zary, Tracey, Koffer, Holtz - the hidden gems.
