Thank you for the piece.
Favorite player in this years draft. Would be a huge bright spot if the B's continue down the path they are on.

If we fall just short of McEichel, it's going to be a toss up between Marner and Strome methinks for Maloney. Strome is a safe bet to be a NHL center with his size, and he also has bloodlines. Marner has the chemistry with two of our top prospects and a far higher motor.

Yeah it would be great to have all 3 of Marner, Dvorak , and Domi. Along with Perlini and Samuelson , I don't think the yotes ever had that much offensive skill at prospect level at the same time before
If only one of the 3 were a little bigger

It's not set in stone. A lot of hockey to play. No one would have predicted Seth Jones would have fallen to 4th in his draft year.
Yeah I guess but alot were saying even at the start that you could mark 1, 2 and 3 as McDavid/Eichel/Hanifin.

Very exciting to even talk about. But even as someone who generally eschews size concerns and absolutely loves players who play bigger than their size, I am worried that as supremely skilled having Domi, Dvorak, and Marner are, we are going to be too small having all 3 of them. And Maloney seems to have stated a preference for size as well.
Maybe, hopefully we can flip Vermette for a late first that turns into a bigger center prospect like Nick Roy or Rattanen to fill that quota. But of course, things would get a lot easier if the Yotes simply won the damn lottery.

Dvorak is six foot and one ninety. At eighteen. That's a big effing kid, man.

Take Nicolas Roy with a late 1st rounder would be a mistake, I think he'll fall somewhere in the late 2nd

Agreed bad first period but got better as game went on. 1G and first star must have done something right for most of the game.

He was named first star because he scored the GWG. Other than that, he was one of the worst players on the ice in my opinion.
He's still my favorite player in the draft and I have him 4th overall. But it doesn't mean he wasn't terribad last game.

Good post. Disappointing that there isn't more thought put behind the naming of the 3 stars.
Moreso directed to Ehlers but Marner is stocky as hell. If you're small you have to have a stocky build. Huge power generation with his lower body, low center of gravity, strong legs, huge thighs,etc.. Ehlers was and still kinda is really skinny. Marner is thick. That and I generally think Marner is better lol.
I honestly have no idea why Nylander was 8th. I had him as a top 5 pick and have always been impressed with him.
