Edmonton Oilers: The NHL entry draft is under three weeks away and the now that the draft combine in Buffalo has concluded, we’re starting to hear more specifics with regards to which players the teams are looking at more specifically.
After being in Buffalo this week I could see the top 8 looking like this:
1. Dahlin
2. Svechnikov
3. Zadina
4. Dobson
5. Tkachuk
6. Kotkaniemi
7. Bouchard
8. WahlstromThis leaves Hughes, Smith and Boqvist in the Oilers range.
Kotkaniemi rising, Boqvist might be sliding— Bob Stauffer (@Bob_Stauffer) June 3, 2018
Personally, I think it would be foolish for any team ahead of the Oilers in the draft (#1-9) to skip drafting Quinn Hughes or Adam Boqvist.
