Oilers: The 2018 NHL Entry Draft is chalked full of excellent defensive prospects starting with the Swedish sensation Rasmus Dahlin and then moving to someone who’s been described as Erik Karlsson 2.0 in Adam Boqvist. After the two Swedes, there’s the American, a puck rushing savant named Quinn Hughes and a Canadian, who might be the best of them but marches to the beat of his own drum, known as Ryan Merkley.
I’d like to take the time to introduce to you, briefly, the latter three names from above. I’m not going to get into Dahlin because if you don’t know what you need to know about him, you’re probably living under a rock.
