Yes, Eklund rightly or wrongly doesn’t make me think of Caufield. And Eklund might be my pick at 7 depending on how things go.I like Caufield & DeBrincat and Eklund is bigger and nastier and should be more skilled than both
RW top 6: Pastrnak & Eklund would be there with anyone
Later in the draft I wouldn’t mind if they took a Caufield type in Dmitri Isayev, just from reading a bit about him. They are trending smurf with forwards though. Aside from Letourneau, Zellers, Poitras, Lysell, Locmelis, all below average sizewise.
Also liking what I read about 6’6” F Daniil Prokhorov - if they can get him in the right spot. Guess he’s raw and needs to improve core strength, skating, passing, and his shot, but I imagine he could become a hammer in the O zone if he puts things together.
