Lots of second-guessing is possible with KD’s picks over the last couple drafts. Moore or Perreault Boisvert or Hage/Connelly even Levshunov or Demidov. I wouldn’t have made any of the picks the Hawks made. Granted, I’m not a scout or spent the time the Hawks did with their drafts. It will definitely be interesting to monitor over the next few seasons.
that is true with 90% of all draft picks. there is always 1-2 guy behind your pick that look better but how do they look compared to there slot. Moore put up a pt per game as FR, and is trending to do the same. he is also bigger and faster then Perreault. has perreault been better to this point yes. But moore has been ok as well, Boisvert has been the best player on a down ND team and is Bigger and more physical and a better shot then hage. has hage been a bit better? yes but Boisvert has been very good as well. arty was hurt and is jut now hitting his stride in the AHL as a 19 year old. he put 9 shots on goal last game. I dont like to cherry pick draft picks. i like to go back in 2-3 years and see if the redraft happened were would he go. IMO Arty would go top 5, probably not 2. Moore and Boisvert right now would go about there draft slot. As a point of REF in a redraft of 2019 vlasic would be top 7 up from 40 something.
No, I'm agreeing with you. I've always disliked the Hawks drafting him early. KD said they tried to move up to 10 with the Blues to get him there
