Again, you aren't giving us any actual proof that you even have a friend who is/was an NHL scout. And yet you continue to try to use 'him' as a means to win an argument over the internet. What if I were to tell you that I'm Danny Wirtz, owner of an NHL team and someone who employs a shit ton of scouts?Let's just say that my buddy knows a lot more than you will ever know and I respect his opinion more than I respect some keyboard jockey. He has decades of experience and made a living scouting and coaching - you don't. Does your opinion matter - sure - but I hold his assessment in higher standing than yours. Just because he was the #2 pick in 2017 and was out in the league in 3.5 seasons.
I'm not Danny Wirtz. But you have no way of truly knowing if I was lying or not. Because there is NO PROOF of it. You have NO PROOF that you actually are friends with a hockey scout. Stop using him to try to win arguments here.
And yes, Nolan Patrick did not work out. But he was NOT the most recent 2nd overall pick. It has been less than a year since Levshunov was drafted, which is far too early to have him go from "high end prospect" to " he'll top out as a 3rd pairing guy".
And in another comment here, you go and say that you don't think anyone questions his offense. There are plenty of defenders in this league that almost exclusively contribute offensively, but are still widely considered to be either top pairing or middle pairing D. Is Morgan Reilly a bottom pairing guy because he sucks defensively? How about Nurse? How about Seth f***ing Jones? I know his ass isn't good defensively, yet he's on the reigning cup champs right now playing in either a top pairing or middle pairing role.
The amount of contradictions you are making with your posts are astounding. Kinda hard to imagine anyone wanting to be friends with someone like that, which is just another reason to doubt you have a friend who was an NHL scout.
