Filling out is not the same thing as developing a motor. The criticism of his skating is overblown in certain respects, but his consistency and effort level are legit areas he will need to improve moving forward.

They aren't going to take him early if they think he tops out as only a second-pair defensemen.
I love both of them as prospects. At this point I’d prefer both of them to Turcotte. Krebs still is the best prospect in my eyes.
Krebs is really good. Reminds me of Larkin in terms of him getting underrated, but I see him more as a Marner-lite kind of player rather than a Mackinnon-lite. But with the same + leadership as Larkin. And lesser versions of both those players are still really darn good.

You dirty dog!
I get that and I agree with you. I just do not want the Seider = Lilja comparison gaining traction and becoming the go-to argument about why we should avoid him. If we actually do draft him, I think people will be right in questioning the move and accepting it with a degree of doubt and anger, but I would hope that the lengthy debates following such a move would be more informed debates and not the repeated cry of "we traded back to get a Lilja!"

Supposedly Stan said they're decided on who their taking, and then all this Dach stuff comes out?
... That may be a leak rather than a rumor.

If you're antsy enough, you can listen to the Hockeyprospect radio interviews from the other day. In particular, they LOVE Seider. Definitely not a Lilja if you ask them.

depends what kind of scale you're talking about really
i'd say with as many picks as the Wings have there's probably at least like a 50-60% chance he makes a trade up or down in one of the later rounds or something like that
something bigger than that? yeah that 10% probably sounds about right

His best attributes are his defense and physicality. He's a good skater for size, his offensive skill set is questionable as to whether it will translate. I think he's got top 4 potential but he's too risky to take that high over guys like Dach, Zegras, Cozens imo

It definitely depends on how the first 5 picks go, if Byram is available at 5 I hope they swap picks with LA if not I'm indifferent to what they do. Dont really want Caulfield or Cozens however.

Reminds me a lot of Trouba to be honest. Big heavy shot, good passer (especially outlet) with good vision. But yes he doesn't cheat his defensive assignments to play offense. Still that is a good quality in people where defending is their primary job.

As someone who doesn't know the prospects from a hole in the wall, there are quite a few names being thrown around in hopes of us drafting. Sounds like we are going to get a solid player either way.
