Like Whipple a lot. Not necessarily to become some great NHL player, but he’s one of those kids you cheer for because he’s not the biggest guy in the world but thinks he is. He was a smaller player a few years ago, but still played with that edge. Your typical 5th rounder. Has some tools but needs to round out his game to play in the NHL. He’s definitely skilled enough to play pro hockey one day.
These are the kinds of kids you draft later in the draft, and hope they develop that next level.

I don't hate this pick, we'll see how he does in GR next season.
I mean if the Wings had picked him last season with a late rounder, everyone would be ecstatic to have a kid that scored 96 pts in 58 games in the W, even if he is 20 (Feb birthday).
Plus the talent pool seems a bit thin this draft.

Love the development arc here! Becher seems to really have that pro feel where he'll plug into a bottom 6 and be a "systems darling"
Great swing on the 80th pick, future shutdown 3C here? Great size on him, just put on some muscle and we hopefully hit on our 3rd here

Watch these highlights and tell me if we have a single prospect who can score like this, including Danielson and Kasper. Neither put up highlights like this in junior.

As opposed to the consistent star players that come out of the third round?

Very intriguing pick, he has to go pro next season but where? GR, Toledo or Europe? I think couple years in Liiga would do him good. Perhaps HPK would take him, he would have a good chance to take a big role and maybe play in the same line with Kiiskinen. Build some chemistry there.

Danielson, Kasper, Brandsegg-Nygard, Sandin-Pellikka, Mazur, Buchelnikov, and Lombardi can all score and pass better than Becher
You really don't deserve any success that the Red Wings will have
Just one twitter highlight video has you sold over two top 10 picks... Lmao man why don't you just go cheer for Anaheim or Chicago or Montreal

The only concern with Becher was he played alongside guys like Terik Parascak, Riley Heidt and Zac Funk, so how much was he driving the offense or was he the beneficiary of good linemates or softer competition? He had a great World Juniors tournament which suggests the offense may translate as he continues to face tougher competition so that's a big positive.
I'm not trying to bag on the guy at all and it sounds like his defensive game is exceptional and that's something that will help him in his quest to earn a pro contract.

Well I’m sorry if I get hyped seeing a player with a ton of flash like that. ASP you’re right, but the other players you’ve mentioned, I haven’t seen that level of offensive flair and that includes Danielson and Kasper.
And sorry yes, I absolutely don’t deserve any of the success post 2010 we’ve all enjoyed.

This guy was really good at the WJC. He had 5 points in the bronze medal game against Finland.

I like this pick. This seemed like a good draft to take an overager, and he is one of the more interesting ones.

The team was in the middle of the standings when he was traded. This is just repeated rhetoric from the year before

As a team they were fine, but Danielson was the only player on that team that was PPG or better.

Guarantee you if Danielson had a year like last year on his draft year, he wouldn’t have even gone 1st round.
I'd hope a 20 year old could dominate 16 year olds.
Couldn't we have just waited a couple more days and signed him as a free agent (I honestly don't know).
Just an underwhelming pick in my eyes.

I wouldn't count on any of the PG Cougars' top scorers becoming good NHLers, including the first-rounder Parascak. Heidt was their best overall player and he's a fringe third-liner at the next level. None of the PG players were as impactful as Danielson in that Conference final series. They played in a really weak division with a loaded older lineup and got beat by a slightly more loaded even older Portland team. Experience and physical maturity counts for a lot in the CHL. Players on dominant teams get ample opportunities to put up big numbers and great highlights against overmatched, younger, weaker teams full of future Canadian university players and salesmen.
What makes Becher interesting is how he played for Czech U20, often looking better than Sale for instance. The C/W versatility, acceptable size and skating and attention to defense give him a chance. I wouldn't hold the double-overager aspect against him, less than a year older than a lot of D+1 guys. But it does result in being somewhat overlooked and unfair Draft downgrades, so Becher might be a bit of a steal.

I just want you to be aware that not every junior scoring phenom ends up an NHL scoring phenom.
Like…very few actually do.
