Falls in line with what I've been hearing since January.

Makes me want Zadina even more after seeing what Mackenzie said. Saying once he gets ripped and into a proper training regiment like some of the other top guys, imagine how good he'll be. Lots of interesting choices though that's for sure. I would love a second top 10 pick. Thought we could get one for Hoffman, before all this shit happened.

Word is he isn't 5-10, hence him refusing to be measured at the combine.

This seems very odd. I mean he can't do anything about his height so why hide?

If he was measured at like 5'8'', I wonder how that would effect his brother's ranking considering he's listed at 5'10'' as well. Anyways, we'll get a sense of how tall he is when he goes to shake Bettman's hand on the podium.

Takes a very confident GM to select a 5'8 dman with a top 10 pick and even more so with a top 5 one

Who has been our most hyped prospect in the last 10 years?

 

[DJB]

If Hughes is sub 5 '10 hes falling towards back end of ten not the front. Talented player but even Karlsson i think measured 5 '11 during his draft year i think

 

[BondraTime]

Who has been our most hyped prospect in the last 10 years?

Zib drafted 6th, though Chabot for me personally.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I almost feel like he's getting underhyped lately.

Haha well that’s what happens right. Overreaction. Then over reaction to the over reaction. Everything evens out

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Zib drafted 6th, though Chabot for me personally.

+1 here. Chabot is the only guy I've watch post draft who we've taken where I feel 100% confident he's gonna be a star calibre player.

 

[BigRig4]

Zib drafted 6th, though Chabot for me personally.

Maybe I'm not remembering correctly, but I could've sworn Zibby didn't really get that much hype considering he was such a high pick. Lazar was suuuuuper hyped around 2014. Chabot after that 2016-2017 campaign too.

 

[DJB]

The Karlsson hype train took off like a speeding bullet post WJC . Big hype i recall

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Who has been our most hyped prospect in the last 10 years?

Rundblad

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Rundblad

This.

Hype was huge, even though there were concerns about his game translating.

 

[Emerica]

Who has been our most hyped prospect in the last 10 years?

Wasn’t our own draft pick but I think it has to be Rundblad.

 

[Six Assets]

Rundblad

great answer. I think @ReginKarlssonLehner was single-handedly responsible for that. Although, the hype was justified.

 

[BondraTime]

Yeah I responded based on the thought it was most hyped prospect out of the draft.

Rundblad was named HF's prospect of the year, he was definitely the most hyped prospect.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

great answer. I think @ReginKarlssonLehner was single-handedly responsible for that. Although, the hype was justified.

I remember arguing with CJam who kept saying he was going to be better than Karlsson.

Yeah, its gotta be Rundblad.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

You know. I’m definitely down for tkatchuk vs domi

 

[Gil Gunderson]

It is a bit concerning...

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

It is a bit concerning...

I've said this before but he reminds me so much of Ceci in almost every way.

 

[Langdon Alger]

I remember arguing with CJam who kept saying he was going to be better than Karlsson.

Yeah, its gotta be Rundblad.

I was pissed when Runblad was traded because I thought he’d be real good. Maybe not Karlsson good, but a very good top 4 guy. Plus Turris had perceived attitude problems, so I wasn’t crazy about getting him.

 

[Karl Prime]

That vid is pretty damning on Bouchard. Hopefully the Sens see the same thing.

 

[Six Assets]

It is a bit concerning...

Alex formenton looks really good

 

[BigRig4]

Alex formenton looks really good

Haha I noticed that too.
