You probably wouldn't get any picks with Virgilio. Remember that he was a top 5 talent going into the draft last year and fell because of commitment concerns. People smarter than me still expect him to be an OHL star and high NHL draft pick.
Multiple sites had him ahead of Dickinson as the top D at that point. Obviously that was misguided, but the reasons for putting him that high still exist. Other sites had him 2 or 3 for defense from what I recall.
Cristoforo too. I like Virgilio. I wish he had come along in the deal. I don’t see him getting drafted in the first 3 rounds this year though.
I probably wouldn’t use those sites for reference anymore.
Every fan thinks they are smarter in hindsight, but I appreciate the few places that actually make an effort to provide OHL draft content, so I won't criticize them.
I was just giving you a hard time. Every scout at every level completely blows it occasionally. Virgilio over Dickinson would be a pretty good example though.
You're definitely correct about that!I was just giving you a hard time. Every scout at every level completely blows it occasionally. Virgilio over Dickinson would be a pretty good example though.
hes not a high draft pick at all, flint passed on him when he was offered. hes rated as a 6th or 7th pick for the nhl draft.
those sites dont scout, no one sees them out anywhere, just make lists based on hype
If he had another year, sure.
If we end up with a 2md and 3rd for Giroux, maybe this all makes sense.
