I'm just not sold on Buium, I mean Parekh, similar D-man went four slots ahead of him.
Now how could that be if a Buium only comes along every couple years?
Maybe some GMs are idiots, but all of them?
So excuse me if I don't get on the hype train.
My attitude is I really don't care what a prospect does at lower levels unless he falls on his face.
The difference in skill and teams (compare Guelph and London, for example) and the low level of competition.
And I'm certainly not going to watch hours of film to try to figure that out. Life is too short unless someone pays me. I've tried and its mind numbing.
When they get to the pros, it'll be self-evident if they're for real.
I've seen Luchanko in the NHL, it's clear both that he's not ready and that he wasn't intimidated or overwhelmed and he didn't need to be sheltered. Just hasn't developed a skill set to be more than a 4C at this point in time.

Was at the game tonight. Sorry to disappoint everyone but Luchenko looked pretty good.
The Storm? not so much.
Casino time now

Why would that disappoint everyone? We would like Jett to be good. Problem is he should of been the 2nd pick we used in the 1st rd. Buium should of been the 1st pick

Where did you find theses stats?
From all reports, Luchanko wasn't getting past #15 or so, late riser.

There are a lot of not really for the public platforms that are incredible... and very accurate since I handpicked a few games to track myself over the last year or so and they match up perfectly.

The great (~60% CF/xGF): Lycksell -
he was solid in his cameo, only issue is skating. 40 shots, 0 goals, needs some puck luck.
The very good (~55+): Desnoyers, Samson, Ginning
Ginning you'd expect give his age, good sign for Desnoyers, Samson is only 21, August B-day.
The good (~52+): Andrae, Grans.
Grans is still only 22. Maybe he can still be salvaged?
"Fine" (~49-51): Tuomaala, Abols.
Tuomaala has 1 point in 9 games at ES.
Below avg (~45-48): McDonald, Wisdom, Richard.
McDonald is +4 when every other D-man is negative, SSS fluke?
Bad (<45): Avon, Gendron, Eklind.
Disappointing by Avon, only 21, but with his size and speed, hoping he can be an excellent forechecker, should be showing more.
No Gaucher? Dark horse but off to a good start.
But he's 23, so it's close to "do or die."

If you went to the game, why were you watching The Queen's Gambit on your phone?
Why the Luchenko chess match in 'The Queen's Gambit' is the most powerful game in the series
Netflix's buzzy series follows chess prodigy Beth Harmon as she ascends to world fame, and her biggest triumph came in a surprise scene in the finale.

If they liked him that much, trade up with the multiple 1st and 2nd round picks they have next year.

Cell phone is used for pictures at games sometimes. One hand holds beer. Other hand waves in excitment as i actually watch the game in front of me.If you went to the game, why were you watching The Queen's Gambit on your phone?
