Anyone here see Wellwood in his prime with the Leafs? I did, he toyed with NHL defencemen as well or better than Bracco. I see the same dumpy body type here as I did with Wellwood.
I was the first guy on the internet to call Schenn, Schitt, and that our entire scouting staff was stuked by Burke, as they were all in on picking Forsberg. And Burke decides he is god and goes with Rielly. Another potential, meh, But lets see how this kid plays out.
I just don't think he will not translate to the NHL at all. Just too predictable after a while and no speed to adjust.
I am not even a big fan of Marner either. I think though Hunter will get vindicated by three other guys he picked much later. Dermott? Looked good in Leaf camp, maybe he is disappointed he is back in the OHL, but sure isn't blowing anyone away right now.
Nylander, for better or worse is our best prospect, no one else is close to him at this point.
