Andrew Cristall Meth… small talented home run swing of a pick… has canes written all over it

 

[IceColdOx]

Still surprised there's been no trades.

 

[WreckingCrew]

Pick is in = commercial + advertisement

 

[Bub]

You know they folded their hockey business years ago, right? IIRC, Bauer bought their hockey IP and the designers all went to True.

"Hey, I'm still here."

 

[chaz4hockey]

Current statistics as of 2023-05-28

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

EliteProspects draft guide says he has the 4th best shot in the class.

Seems like a project but one who could be a sniper if he hits.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

This is one of those picks where we get a skilled guy who wasn’t highly rated because of his competition. Like morrow

 

[NotOpie]

"We like our group"

Bradly Nadeau is going to be a late riser on many draft boards as his end of season stat lines look ridiculous and are too gaudy to ignore. Nadeau played his draft year in the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) and has committed to play for the University of Maine in the NCAA next season. Canada’s Junior A hockey leagues don’t get a ton of respect so even after scoring nearly a point per game in the BCHL as a 16-year-old last season, there weren’t a lot of people talking about Nadeau coming into his draft year.
