The Kings draft and develop plenty of players with (Size), they can go into corners, and dig out pucks, and board battle.
You pick BPA, or you are going to regret it. Like all those teams regretted Passing on Kopitar.
My realistic top 5 looks like...
1)Zacha
2)Konecny
3)Svechnikov
4)Roy
5)Bracco
So with Zacha gone...
I pick Konecny!
Roy and Bracco you could probably trade back for.
I think Zacha will be gone.
He is 5'9". We already have him in MCH but his name is Weal. Watch a bunch of Weal and then Watch TK and tell me who you would rather have. Weal is an inch and a touch taller too. I can't see us drafting a guy under 5'10. He is a solid O skilled and slightly better than average two way player but he isn't big and gets hurt when he works too much in the corners. His season ended with a shoulder separation. Not a truly big deal but it is going to hurt his position on draft day a little. I want Zacha and Ahl but understand that one is likely gone and the other is more of an early 2nd rounder then anything else in this draft but Konecny while really talented doesn't seem like a perfect fit for our current org.
I agree.
We have enough great small prospects (Weal, O'Neill). We don't need more, IMO.
Kyle Connor looks like a young Justin Williams-type, IMO.
But alas, he'll probably be gone by pick#13.
