McLeod should have been #5 imo. Going with him again.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

McLeod should have been #5 imo. Going with him again.

#3 IMO.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

I was going to go Lavoie or konovalov
.
...but I went willy legs at the last second.

 

[GOilers88]

Benson/McLeod could have gone in either order for me on the last two. McLeod this time.

 

[Canovin]

I feel like Benson, McLeod, Lavoie and Konovalov are in the same tier. 1st round talent that fell to the 2nd round with the exception of Kono

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

McLeod had a pretty good rookie season in the AHL, gonna go with him over Lavoie.

 

[Samus44]

McLeod seems like a safe vote but the offense seems unlikely to put him above a bottom 6 role. For me that places him behind Lavoie who has thus fsr had great success after being drafted. Lavoie has better offense and pedigree having been rated higher in his draft so I don't see a higher upside.

 

[Samus44]

#3 IMO.

What do you see him becoming to place him that high?

 

[Bangers]

From what I’ve seen, McLeod seems like a bigger version of Marchant, while Lavoie looks like he could be a top six winger. Going with Lavoie again.

 

[McDoused]

Lavoie has a higher upside than McLeod imo. McLeod is more likely to play in the NHL though.

 

[Canovin]

Tullio also has crazy upside. Really liking from what I see from the available footages. He's my favorite from this year pick

 

[Tobias Kahun]

#3 IMO.

I don’t agree, but I do see where you’re coming from , he has the speed and skills to be a very good complementary forward.

I see a middle 6 winger/Third line Center.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

#3 IMO.

I like McLeod and felt middling about the Holloway pick but c'mon, Holloway's better by a good bit.

Went Lavoie here. His upside is way higher, though his likelihood of being an NHLer is lower.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

What do you see him becoming to place him that high?

I think there is a lot of recency bias with Holloway and Benson doesn't have the wheels to be much more than a 4th liner/tweener from last I have seen. McLoed also has speed to burn, I see him playing 4th line C next year and 3C the following year if his development progresses.

I don’t agree, but I do see where you’re coming from , he has the speed and skills to be a very good complementary forward.

Yes that is where I see him. Lavoie could be a 2/3 winger but he is still developing whereas McLoed seems a lot closer.

I like McLeod and felt middling about the Holloway pick but c'mon, Holloway's better by a good bit.

Went Lavoie here. His upside is way higher, though his likelihood of being an NHLer is lower.

Lavoie is a good pick as well for this spot but as I said he still needs more development time as does Holloway, whereas McLoed has had more time and looked fine in the bubble training camp for his age/progress. NHL wheels for sure.

I have Broberg/Bouchard/McLoed/Samourukov/Lavoie/Holloway/Benson as our top 7. Benson could surprise me but his skating just hasn't developed to be an NHL regular.

 

[BudBundy]

I went with Lavoie for the upside. Next choice would’ve been McLoed. Benson is way too high. He should’ve picked up a step in his stride by now. That tells me he is probably incapable of improving his speed. Slow AND small = Robbie Schremp. He’ll never make it. Hope he proves my wrong like Yamo did.

Im pretty sure Konovalov and Lavoie are underrated. Lavoie might never be an excellent 2 way player but I think he'll be a "good" NHL player. Maybe Benoit Pouliot caliber? Konovalov seems to have very high potential.

 

[McMozesmadness]

Berglund should be added here. I think I'd have him in the 4-7 range. Voted McLeod here

 

[McDNicks17]

Im pretty sure Konovalov and Lavoie are underrated. Lavoie might never be an excellent 2 way player but I think he'll be a "good" NHL player. Maybe Benoit Pouliot caliber? Konovalov seems to have very high potential.

I kind of think the opposite. His two-way game always stands out in the games I've watched.

I feel like it and his shot will be his bread and butter. I don't think he really has the skating or playmaking to be a legit top6 guy. I see Chiasson-esque potential with him which is still a really useful player.

 

[Zaddy]

I think people are overrating McLeod. He has basically no offense to his game. Never produced in juniors, only had 5 goals and 23 points in 56 games in AHL last year. This is a guy who's never going to be anything more than a 4th liner.

With that said I still voted him here as I'm not really a fan of Lavoie either although I haven't seen him as much but, contrary to McLeod, I very much doubt he'll ever be a full-time NHLer. He's a sheltered 3rd line scorer at best IMO and those guys tend to wear out their welcome pretty fast in this league.

I agree with most of this....which is why i went with Willy.

But I'm also partial to Maksimov......I wonder where he slots in at the end of this....his shot was touted at one point....but he hasnt really exploded.
