Mckenzie had Seider ranked 16th in 2019, Pronman 22nd.

Too bad there isn’t a Seider available this year.
Like I said, 3 Americans and 1 D in the top 10, I’ll make the video, still 100% confident that doesn’t happen. Would require 2-3 teams to make a mistake in the top 10, and with the top 4-5 pretty much set, those mistakes would all need to happen from 5 or 6 to 10…let’s just say I’m not worried
And I would still be absolutely baffled if a d squeaks into the top 6.

Seider wasn't supposed to be Seider in his draft year.... that's my point. Reinbacher has a lot of similarities. I think many GM's will take him over an undersized CHL player.Too bad there isn’t a Seider available this year.

That’s the one question mark I have about him. But, he has a lot of underrated skill. He’s a much more versatile and skilled player than people think. He’s got some great hands and the ability to make stellar individual plays. He doesn’t just rely on his physical tools.
That being said, he is able to outmuscle way older competitor so I think that skill will translate. He’s laid some crushing hits on collegiate competition.
Your point sucks, and has been beaten to death…he’s a completely different player, in a completely different situation, this is a much stronger draft.
Can we use this space to talk about Leonard?

So, tuning in tonight and wondering why he's not playing against Muskegon. I haven't had a chance to take in an NTDP game in weeks and I see he hasn't played for the U18 squad since 3/18. Any information would be welcome, thanks in advance.

Well this is the first game the U18s have played since the 18th, so it's the first game he misses, but no idea why.

Leonard, like most of the US team, is having a very good U-18.
Looks like the type of player who will be a perfect 2nd or 3rd wheel on a line that has a lot of skill.

Just do it, I have Leonard at 8th and feel good about it.
What I do want to say is that the idea that Leonard would succeed without Smith and Perreault but the latter two wouldn’t succeed without Leonard is ridiculous. They all benefit from each other immensely and fairly equally.
It's Boldy-Hughes-Caufield once again.
The three of them will be good players, but since they'll play together again next year at BC, fanbases that draft any one of them will get told that they are the product of their linemates for next year as well.
I like them all. Heck, even Moore is good.
This is a great draft.

Leonard was occasionally separated from Smith and Perreault during the season. Not regularly but it would happen for stretches, largely when they were trying to better balance the lines. Has not really been a necessity since they promoted Hagens and Eiserman.
I didn't track his stats or anything during those games but I'm sure it's video thay scouts will circle back on to help get more signal on his play away from those guys.

Really like Leonard a ton as I dig in on this year. He is that piece that makes a dominate scoring line as that 2nd-3rd player. Not sure he is a line driver so it makes him hard for me to place right now on the board. Super versatile with skill and consistency in terms of when I have seen him he has always impressed. I hope he is around for the Wings, I just think he is one of those gritty glue guys that is going to put up numbers in the league while playing an abrasive game.
Leonard reminds me of a Adrian Kempe as an NHL comparable.

I have him at 8 as well. No chance he falls for me either.
Perreault and Smith would be fine without him. Their chemistry is incredible. I wish we could’ve seen Leonard and Moore on a line together.

I have Leonard at 8 and I feel really good about it. The only knock on him against someone like Dvorsky is that Dvorsky plays center.. but there's much more fluidity in Leonard's game. They're close prospects imo.
Leonard compared to Barlow is a complete landslide for Leonard.
