Oh God, the amount of credit he's given is hilarious. This was not some stealth out-of-the-box pick, it was a situation in which other GMs shit the bed, especially Kenny. I suppose Rossi was another example of his prowess as well?
Reaping from the mistakes of other GMs makes you a bad head scout how exactly? Because I didn't see anyone else make those picks. Brackett did.
You could also argue that Hunt was a nice find. Bottom line is that Brackett was laser focussed on Wallstedt once it became clear that he was falling on the board, and moved up to get him. No one else did.
The Modo game Modo was the better team through the first, then Luleå completed shut them down and scored all those goals.
I hope we're not going to hear stuff like this anytime either prospect does something bad/good. As of right now Cossa has had a stellar start in juniors, Wallstedt has been just okay in SHL (with a really good game yesterday). So difficult to compare, different leagues, different continents.
What even is the point you're trying to bring up here? What if it would be a little higher?
I think he’s just saying defense is often so bad In juniors with kids where as the SHL can often be a very slow sheltered game. Like the competition may be higher but the style of play is vastly different.
