Is Villeneuve the first prospect with "issues" that we have drafted? Given how our organization is, I am pretty sure the scouting group and management did a lot of digging before going with him. Atleast I hope they did.

I think we just drafted a young Shorsey.

Seriously, I love this pick. This kid is a dynamic rat. Might turn into the next Brad Marchand.
I like the pick, too, but I'd guess he ends up closer to Brandon Tanev than to Brad Marchand.

Fair. I would suggest that's your floor and your ceiling right there.

I suspect when he enters the NHL full time (likely in 2 years, maybe 3) he will look more like Tanev to start, but if he keeps developing he might become Marchand level.
