Yeah I have no problems with him being a 4th round pick, just tempering my own expectations despite his obvious offensive gifts.
Does he do stuff like this often? Seems incredibly dumb/selfish. I still like the pick, but man, he seems like he's a ways off.

The Belarus national league is very poor. Where he wants to play is for Dinamo Minsk in the KHL. The Belarus National league is about where the French league or the Danish league is.Looks like he's playing in Belarus for Yunost Minsk this season.

I've also read he is prone to perimeter-itis and from clips I saw he tries way too hard to do it on his own. This lead to 4th line demotions and outright benchings. Alot of warning signs. Basically exactly what your really informative scouting report said earlier. I thought you saying "minor-midget-superstar syndrome" was perfect. I'm not sure those players ever work out.

He can go to the AHL whenever I'm fairly certain. Most CHL imports have contract structures to allow them to be in the AHL at 19 if the team wants (like Honka).would this impact his timeline for AHL eligibility?
Honka could go to the AHL because he was drafted to the NHL before he was drafted in the CHL import draft.

That clip is a classic lmfao
there should be a little coach cam in the corner of the screen to show the coach erupting more and more after every dipsy doodleWho in the hell is he playing against? Are they out there watching TV on the ice or something?
Riley Damiani was #13 out there hahaWho in the hell is he playing against? Are they out there watching TV on the ice or something?

Going down the Antonio Stranges rabbit hole- he's from Plymouth which means he was ~12 when Sonny Milano was there. He even named him as an influence. This is my dream come true.
So insane lmaoWhen I watched that interview I thought it was odd that he didn't mention Seguin being a former Whaler. Didn't realize till just now that he would of been 7 years old.

Highland Village, Tx - This is right down the road from me and the best name of any draftee so far IMO.

Crapshoot, and some years back, they used to have more than 7 rounds, so almost anyone on skates could get drafted. Now, it is pretty much SOP to see who got left out that has a shred of a chance, a la, Dillon, Antoine, R, etc.
Overall, happy with the picks. One problem might be that it is too little, too late. It's not like they didn't know they needed scoring forwards for years. Drafting now because of pandemic and cap concerns isn't going to be in time to fill the gaps, assuming any of those crafty FW picks actually impresses and makes the NHL. In all probability, Maverik and no one else ever makes the NHL, maybe one other will get the proverbial cup of coffee.
