They actually were talking about the just the top 4 picks from last year. Nothing super surprising but some notes from what I remember:
Sennecke was someone they were looking closely at the year before also. They want him to take more shots because he has a great shot even though he is a pass first guy.
Solberg sold them at the world championship.
Pettersson reminds him of wild Bill. He isn’t elite at anything but good at everything. He is super responsible but when they moved him to the wing they saw his offense move creativity come though. He expects his production in the SHL to be down because his physical strength is holding him back. Expects his size won’t hold him back once he is at physical maturity at 23. He will be really strong.
Masse also needs to shoot more. He and Sennecke were the first guys they put with their shooting coach at development camp. Could have scored 40 last year if he shot more. He started the year with 6 goals in 5 games so they were really happy with it before he got hurt. Made a comment about how Masse’s draft year was hard for him because of the expectations after being the CHL rookie of the year.
Bummer they didn’t talk about the other 3rd rounders.
