I wanted to vote for Harrison but I feel like Culkiin is going under the radar a bit. He showed some great improvement and was the Remparts' top defensemen. The Flames like him and were considering signing him to an ELC so he could play in Abbotsford next year (and I believe they would have had they not drafted/signed Sieloff). It wouldn't have made sense to bring in four rookie defensemen to Abbotsford (Wotherspoon, Ramage, Sieloff, and Culkin). He actually kind of reminds of Brodie. Similar height and weight, good skating ability and two-way game. If he can get his decision-making at/near Brodie's level, we may have something of a clone.

Really loved the Roy pick so I am going to start pulling for him.

Nemo

 

[Flames Fanatic]

The Eric Roy love confuses me so much. He fell to the 5th round for a reason. I've got Ferland, Nemisz, Culkin, Kulak all ahead of him on my list.

 

[WhereIsIt]

Meant to vote Culkin but accidentally voted Kulak. Shades of TJ Brodie (similar stats, picked in the same range, both are 6'1", 182 pounds) in Culkin but with less offensive upside. Hopefully he follows a similar progression path!

Have you watched him much? I just ask because if you watch his game his potential is pretty obvious. One of those project picks. I just really like his potential upside.

 

[TylerSVT*]

Im surprised how many people think Nemo is done.

He is only 21 and could still turn into a good 3rd line energy guy.

 

[BrodieGoat]

I watched Culkin play a lot and he does not play like brodie like Brian Campbell. Kulak is the guy that plays like brodie.

 

[MarkGio]

I went with Nemisz here. These guys far down the depth chart are so hard to evaluate. Maybe we'll have to start presenting some scouting reports and stats on these guys.

 

[kirant]

Roy. Love the potential of a big body who plays well offensively already.

I have, but defensively his game is barely existent some days. He could very well end up being a lesser MAB.

You're right but there is still time for him to develop defensively, and hes big and a good skater which is a rare combo given his offensive abilities. If he works out his defensive game he has steal potential. There is a reason he looked like a 1st round pick only a year ago.

 

[Skobel24]

Once again, Nemisz.
