And then, to the journalists, Kekäläinen goes: "It was our plan from the start to suck all year so we could trade that pick for a year of Lindholm."...true...could see Lindholm and #16 Overall going for #3 Overall...
I want size Halttonen or Wahlberg por favor!Couple of interesting Ds around 31 and 37.
Hmm unsure: Difficulties under pressure, not exactly the shooting kind of D..Strbak!
We need the best player, not star power. All we can do at this point is put our trust in Hughes and then let the chips fall where they may.Man this is so telling. 0/10 teams had anyone outside the big 5 in the top 5. It should be extremely clear to everyone. If we do not draft one of Fantilli/Carlsson/Smith/Michkov, then it is an absolute reach by our team. This draft, this team, this point in our rebuild, is not the time to make a reach. We need the star power. We need the highest likelihood of star power. We need one of the remaining big 5.
We should draft BPA not Best player for our team. Do you want to replay Kotkaniemi?We need the best player for our team, not star power. All we can do at this point is put our trust in Hughes and then let the chips fall where they may.
I edited my response prior to yours because I knew people would take it like this. Yes, best player, not star powerWe should draft BPA not Best player for our team. Do you want to replay Kotkaniemi?
I guess in my mind best player available is = to highest star power.I edited my response prior to yours because I knew people would take it like this. Yes, best player, not star power

Don't forget he also said that some scouts had more of a top 6. In any case I doubt they will reach. The only question is whether they feel like Mitchkov is worth all the risks. I'm sure they will meet with him and decide.

lenord it is then done
10 teams are telling you the best player is in that top 5. I think that’s the point. Hughes and a handful of anti Russian fans on here are saying the best player is outside the top 5. I’ll take the word of the 10 nhl teams thanks.We need the best player, not star power. All we can do at this point is put our trust in Hughes and then let the chips fall where they may.
He's not. A huge part of Tkachuk's game is his size.if Lenord is a BT clone.... then call out his name

McKenzie has him pretty high compared to other sources.
100% agree. Though Leonard plays big, its easy to do so in the USHL. In the NHL he will be hard pressed to bully anyone. He will have to rely on his skill.He's not. A huge part of Tkachuk's game is his size.
Leonard is 5'11 3/4.
