Thanks. I was thinking the same thing in regards to Cootes. Mrtka to me as well as a later round project. 1st is way too rich. This draft talent wise really drops off quick.My take on Braeden Cootes is that he's good, he's involved, but he doesn't have the size. I don't think I would be happy with either Seattle pick.
Let's say they take Mrtka, ok great size decent skater. Puck skills are so far below similarly situated peers that it would be a mistake to pick him. You are not getting a #1D man out of this.
Stancl had a breakaway in the first period that he generated from a steal but it was saved. He led his team with 4 shots and had a goal and was +3. He was f***ing awesome. He was out there seemingly every other shift.
Kelowna's goalie was great, saving 50 of 52, the entire third period was at the other end 25 shots in the period
He’s built like a little boy. He better get on a weight lifting program
Was there any doubt? I had a feeling Otto would score in his first game.
Here's the goal:

The good news - imagine how much more effective he’ll be when he gains man strength/muscle.
