Who got taken after boucher?

For 2005, Luc Bourdon and Marc Staal were also obvious choices

And for 2021, this was McKenzie's list after the first 9 guys were gone :

10 Chaz Lucius
11 Cole Sillinger
12 Jesper Wallstedt
13 Matthew Coronato
14 Fabian Lysell
15 Sebastian Cossa
16 Brennan Othmann
17 Fedor Svechkov
18 Isak Rosen
19 Zachary Bolduc

They would have been much much better choices and if we were to reach, I wish it would have been for a guy like Stankoven (27th on Bob's list). Boucher was 29th on his list. Bolduc has 16 goals and 31 pts in 65 pts in his rookie season. I see some Bryan Rust in him. Coronato already has 20 goals and would have probably been the best choice here. Cossa is a very good goalie prospect, Wallstedt has great potential. Anyone but Boucher at 10th overall.

I don’t think people were upset that you compared them lol. They’re just not very similar.

Also you said this right after last season and no one was happy with chychrun. I would not be happy if we get last years version of chychrun from Yakemchuk. Of course he looks to be trending worse

How are they not similar? Big bodies, good skaters, booming shot and goal scoring ability as D-men, not the greatest playmakers but produce offense, questionable all-around game and self-motivation...

Last year's Chychrun was never meant to be the whole Chychrun, he had some very good stretches of hockey when he was in Arizona... So now that we see a Chychrun utilized properly and who scored his 20th today, and now that Yakemchuk has a lot of confirmed question marks, that call was once again not outrageous as some were making it seem. It's a best case scenario for me.

You cannot call an elite skater and a guy who is a bad skater similar players. That COMPLETELY changes each of their games

You posted a bunch of players that are still question marks 4 years post draft.

Buium Dickinson and Parekh are already starting to erase some of their questions marks

In the Yakemchuk thread on the prospects forum somebody posted that they heard he requested a trade out of Calgary earlier this season due to issues with the new head coach.

Unconfirmed obviously, but I thought that was pretty interesting.

I certainly hope so. If we’re witnessing a normally motivated Yalemchuk at the moment that’s a problem.

Somehow still not as offensive as taking Gabe Eliasson (we have like 5 clones of him) over Cole Hutson.

Honestly Hutson is whatever. I've seen advanced stats that say Cole is a defensive and possession blackhole who is legit only a weapon offensively unlike Lane. But there were many great forwards available like Battaglia, Ilya Protas, Walton, etc.

He seems to not even be their go to d man. 10th overall should at least be the player their junior team counts on for everything.

He’s their go to guy offensively, he’s not defensively. End of games defending leads and with the goalie pulled they switch up the lines to get Mynio and Hurtig out, like last night for a big kill at the end of the game.

If they need a goal he’d be first D over the boards.

Yakemchuk received the prize for the team's favorite player

Yes, the teams Fan Favorite award. Not team MVP or best player award. Chris Neil was the fan favorite for the better part of 2 decades.

At the same awards ceremony Oliver Tulk took home the Top Player of the year for the Hitmen, and Hurtig took home the Top D for the Hitmen.

Once again, the question was who was voted the best player by Hitmen fans. Yaremchuk got that award. Everything else is complete nonsense from you.

Once again, it was the Fan Favorite award...the fans favorite player, not best player. There was no fan vote on the team awards, the team chose those guys. Hurtig top D, Tulk MVP, Aura Top Rookie



The nonsense bit is ironic :laugh:
