I'm curious which defenseman will be selected after Dahlin.
There are several right-handed shooters who will be picked in the top 10. At the top of the list is Evan Bouchard of London (Ontario Hockey League), Noah Dobson of Acadie-Bathurst (Quebec Major Junior Hockey League), Adam Boqvist of Brynas in Sweden's junior league, and possibly Bode Wilde of USA Hockey's National Team Development Program Under-18 team.
Additionally, there are left-handed shots like Quintin Hughes from the University of Michigan, Rasmus Sandin of Sault Ste. Marie (OHL) and Ty Smith of Spokane (Western Hockey League), all of whom could be chosen among the first 20 selections.
Dobson (6-3, 177) would, in my opinion, appear to have the highest upside of any defenseman after Dahlin. He was the steadiest from start to finish, and his offensive game improved tremendously this season. I believe he could go as high as No. 4 to the Ottawa Senators.
He was very impressive in helping lead Acadie-Bathurst to its first Memorial Cup championship with seven points (two goals, five assists) in four games. He finished second among defensemen in the QMJHL with 69 points (17 goals, 52 assists) and was first with 11 power-play goals.
