Short of some Treliving trickery or van/edm picking a D man we pick nylander.

See, I have trouble agreeing with the premise the article draws. Of the 7 sources mentioned in the article, Tkachuk is 4th twice, Chychrun is 4th twice and Dubois is 4th twice. Nylander is 4th once. So there is clearly a fair deal of variance as to who each source thinks will go 4th. As for Dubois, in 4 of the 7 lists, he isn't even in the top 5. I think you could easily draw a different conclusion from the various listings. Just because nobody identifies one particular prospect that might go ahead of him doesn't mean it won't happen. For all we know, both Edmonton and Vancouver both take defencemen. Because lets face it, both desperately need them. Beyond the top 3, I'm keeping an open mind. The scouts can't seem to agree on who exactly will go where and I can't decide either. The draft is going to be fascinating.
