Already an interesting list, normally I’m in agreement with the first handful but it’s all over the place imo. I went with Badinka as I think there’s a good chance he plays over here and we’re already into the mountain of euro prospects that are essentially impossible to read. Thought about FUS, Trik and Heimosalmi. Legault to me is very raw and probably further away but he could surprise.

Badinka has size and mobility, moves the puck well. He’s already pretty close to being useful, was definitely a safe looking pick but it makes sense to take a guy like that.

Legault keeps on improving and may surprise in just a few years. A big defensman too (edit: righty too)
