I guess I have to ask the question now: could Berard be a center?
I like him, hes small though. Im not a fan of small centers really.

Berard would go in the 2nd round if there was a re-draft tomorrow.
Nah the size is still a thing.
He had no business dropping to the 5th though. I had him as a solid 3rd rounder.
CSS had him 45th among NA skaters, so overall that's a late second/early third. McKeen's had him 40. I saw some other fan-produced mocks that had him in the second.Most draft rankings had him somewhere in the third, I believe.
I definitely can't see him going any later than that now. But yeah, maybe he wouldn't quite get up into the 2nd.
Closer to 2nd overall IMO.Berard would go in the 2nd round if there was a re-draft tomorrow.
I love Berard and make that abundantly clear from day one. I don't think the size will be as much of an issue on the wing, as he's a really good skater and plays bigger than he is, but in the middle it could be an issue.
I thought he would go as high as two and as low as early four. More likely the higher end of that. I wasn't really following along once things started up and was shocked when I saw we picked him in the fifth.

I think him going in the fifth was a much bigger surprise than it would have been for him to go in the second. JMO.
Loving the Berard pick. This is type of game the Rangers need more of
Absolutely. It was hard, but not dirty, which is exactly what you want to see. You just want him to be a little more aware, so he doesn’t take himself out of a game by accident.I really didn’t have a problem with the hit. I’m glad he’s our prospect. I look forward to some nasty stuff from our backend.
and in all honesty I hope NYR turns into a nasty team.
They drafted a lot of that this year.
Outside of Lafreniere, this was my favorite pick in the draft. He is going to look like a massive steal a year from now.
Like @Harbour Dog said, the size is the only real draw back at this stage. When the rest of the game is there, undersized tends to equal undervalued.
Closer to 2nd overall IMO.

Hit to the head.
I think we basically agree?lol. You really are a horses ass.

If you watch the replay over and over from different angles, I think you guys would agree he ultimately missed the hit he was going for.
Schneider had committed to the hit and Schumacher’s size and body positioning when receiving the puck was a disaster in the making.
9/10 times this wouldn’t be a penalty in the NHL because he’ll be playing against larger forwards. Forwards who protect themselves a bit better too. But he’s not In the NHL quite yet, and he needs to do a better job of reacting there.
Overall, I’m happy this kid has balls and can make a hit. He just needs to pick his spots better, especially in tough situations like this.
I’m not even afraid to say that if it were on the table, the Rangers should trade Kakko for him.
