Discuss the upcoming NHL entry draft in here

Interested to see what route the Oilers go. They desperately need defense but there's no defensemen in the 4 range unless they're going to reach. They don't need anymore forwards but I wouldn't be upset with them picking Tkachuk and leaving him in London for a couple years.

You'd think they'd trade back or even move it for a young d man.

Ideally I'd like them to trade back for a defenseman and a pick to select a defenseman. Maybe Bigras/10, Fleury/13 or Zboril/14.

Sounds like Patrick Laine isn't a slam dunk at 2 to the Jets. They'd be absolutely out of their minds to pass on him at 2. I like Puuljarvi but Laine has the best shot coming into the league since Ovechkin. He's going to be an absolute game changer

I've heard Columbus isn't sold on Puuljavri either.

I can get that a bit more. I wouldn't hate if they picked Dubois there. A bit of a reach but they could use a big center.
