Trade chip.

Hardly. One he injured. Two he is not that highly ranked even in our weak pool.

Still pissed with this pick instead of getting Emery earlier.

Someone should probably tell him that - he played against Kitchener on the 11th notching his 3rd assist in 3 games.

Garbage Clickbait articles citing in game tweets do not good sources make- he returned to the game in question, days before that trash was written lol

Most fans just see the stats and want more from a high pick. If he can turn into a Pesce style player in the NHL he's a great pick. That's probably best case scenario.

I seem has Chris Phillips type and I think 77 has offence there somewhere.

I think there is a Schenn / Tanev / Pesce / Kovacevic type there, pretty valuable, especially a right shot.

I think the safe bet is something in that Schenn territory, a 2nd or 3rd pairing RD...but if it really clicks, an elite defenseman would be nice.

I believe he got tasked with the tougher minutes this year, rough start but has been rounding into form.

Yep a top 4 steady RHD who can play D is exactly what this team always needed.

What schenn was supposed to be.

Schenn needed time in the AHL first

Danford should be living with Tanev his first year.
