Fly On The Wall
I like how you cherry picked Parekh and Buium out of there for skating/IQ/Dynamic purposes.Ok so do the exercise with the defenseman who are projected to go in the 2-4 range of this draft.
Levshunov, Silayev, Dickinson.
Are they Makar-level skater? No.
IQ insanely off the charts? No.
Huge and a beast defensively? Silayev is huge, I guess but he's not intimidating.
Super offensively gifted? No.
You're asking for the Habs to pick someone at 5 who would basically go at 2 behind Bedard last year.
Picking at 5 does not guarantee a superstar player.
If you're 6'7 you're intimidating. Full stop. Going in corners with those guys sucks ass no matter what.
Dickinson has a great IQ and is pretty good offensively and is a way better all around pick than Reinbacher.
Reinbacher in this draft isn't the first D taken. Maybe like the 4th or 5th.
