Doughthy is overrated and I would not be surprised at all if he is a bust. I am praying that the Leafs do not draft him even if we have a chance.

what about him makes you think he'll be a bust?

Kids got size, can skate, very good hands and is a smart player. With the NHL becoming a game where skilled puckmovers from the blueline excell (Enstrom, Mike Green, Duncan Keith, Wideman) I dont see how Doughty wont succeed seeing he's much more skilled then those players I just listed.

I think Boychuk is a sleeper.

Agreed.

if we were to get another first rounder from a Sundin trade he would be a great pick if still around #20-25.

He is a top 10 pick at this point.

Lots of players have been ranked top 10 going into the draft and then fallen down the first round (perfect example Esposito last season). Everyone said theres no way he falls out of the top ten and sure enough he plummeted. These scouting services are just resources for teams to use as Help along with there own scouts views.

who knows Boychuk could drop on draft day due to Size for all we know.

The difference is he is moving up not down. He played really well in the top prospects game and his stock has gone up as a result.
