I think most teams use size as a proxy for durability, but I agree it would be smart for the Canucks to develop some measurement with better predictive power.Cherry Picker wrote: ↑Wed Jun 20, 2018 10:21 am What I want to know is if there is anyway to rank the picks according to their likelihood of suffering a career ending injury?
Of all the teams, the Canucks should find some coded algorithm to measure injury potential for their analysis.
I fear for the safety of whoever they end up taking.

Interesting watching the final hours of this draft class. Its not usually this random with the predictions from the hockey world...Hughes being their top dog.Ryan - McKeens: They should just trade down a few spots and take whichever of Hughes, Bouchard, Dobson, or Boqvist that is left on the board. Not coincidentally, that is the order we rank the group of post-Dahlin defensemen in this draft class.

Interesting point made in the article re. the ceilings and floors of the d-men who are most likely to be available at our pick:
This still re-enforces my desire to go for Boqvist with our first pick - rather reach for the stars - high risk/high reward.Between Bouchard, Dobson and Boqvist who has the highest ceiling?
McKeens: Boqvist. The young Swedish defender is absolutely electric, comparable in some ways to Quinn Hughes. Boqvist, who was only born in August of 2000 is also much younger than the other two you asked about, giving him more room for potential growth.
That said, he also has the lowest floor of the big five defensemen. He is very much a one way guy and needs to learn how to play away from the puck.

It's too bad we can't draft him and loan him to the London Knights for a year of D-training.

Re: The 2018 NHL Entry Draft
I gotta say this before the draft:
How the hell can there be "SO" many hockey experts ranking Quinton Hughes so high?
Everyone professing the new era is to be smaller/quicker defense men.
Notice how in pro sports; IF A LITTLE IS GOOD, A LOT IS BETTER !
I don't buy it.
I realize the rules are tighter, but; In the playoffs, even this year, it was all out bone crushing hockey, very intense, as usual.
I don't care how "speedy" wee d-men are, that brand of hockey will be rather destructive.
It's not just speaking the height, I'm talikn mini height & mini weight combined. Deadly mix for a defender.

I recall reading some writers saying that he's quite gifted with his transition game, almost Bobby Orr like. His size is a concern though, especially for a defenceman.micky107 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 22, 2018 3:05 pm I gotta say this before the draft:

Re: The 2018 NHL Entry Draft
TRADE | The Washington Capitals have acquired a second round pick, 47th-overall from the Colorado Avalanche in the 2018 NHL Draft in exchange for defenseman Brooks Orpik and Philipp Grubauer. #ALLCAPS
Caps free up cap and will now likely sign Carlson.
