    Explain that...
    But Y pick Bouch over Dahlin? If Dahlin isnt picked #1 this year at the draft, that team will look stupid, and itll take a while to convince ppl otherwise.
    Also, I think the Canadiens want more for Galch.

    Being from London, I have got to watch Bouchard and while he is good, he is no Dahlin.

    Well for me Bouchard is a better all around dman. He makes the simple plays where as Dahlin tries to do too much a lot of the time. That will drive forwards crazy. He gets away with it cus he's so talented. I rank Bouchard higher then some, he's just not flashy but solid and smart. He's a safer pick I think. I also really like Filip Zadina over the rest of the forwards in this draft.

    Bouchard may be good, but he's nowhere close to Dahlin. Dahline is much stronger offensively but in all around just better. I can easily see Bouchard falling out of the top 5. Dobson and Boqvist are just as solid.

    Edmonton will never trade Draisaitl ... until they see what Buffalo is offering, then they'll trade him.

    Bouchard has 25 goals and 62 assist in 67 games (OHL)
    Dahlin has 7 goals and 13 assist in 40 games (SweHL)

    So it''s very debatable who is better offensively. Dahlin is just flashy and is the sexier pick.

    What's farther away than Edmonton, though?

    funny how they think that's a bad deal for Buffalo. Eichel has missed like 40 games in three seasons. Guy gets hurt a lot and O'Reilly is 27. I think it's a pretty fair trade and both teams need to mix it up.

    The difference is that Dahlin is playing in a men’s league where Bouchard is playing in a kids league.

    Edmonton is the last place Buffalo would trade Eichel to. Which means nothing becuase they aren’t trading him.

    I happen to agree. Numbers might be similar, but it's two top six centers for two middle six centers, with about the same average age (22+25=47 21+27=48). Getting an average of half a year younger at center isn't enough to give up two guys who play more minutes against tougher competition.
