[Chalfdiggity3]

So who are we looking at from the 9-11 picks?

Apparently they are hot on kaiden guhle

Quinn, Jarvis, Mercer, Lundell, MAAAYYYBE Rossi or Sanderson if they're still available (spoiler alert: They won't be available).

Oh christ, I hope not.

 

[Kovalev27]

Lundell is the guy no brainer so that means we’ll mess it up

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

I know this is brought up every draft but I've actually read some reports Lafrenierre can be tried at Center? Does that have any weight?

I don't think so, unless a team wanted to handicap him a bit for a few years to learn and get comfortable in a new position

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Eh, I feel like Lundell is exactly a type of guy they'd love

Sounds like Lias Andersson at C.

I just read up on him a bit. he sounds like another McIlrath

They're pretty different players

[Oscar Lindberg]

See on one hand I feel “oh there’s a clear 10 player pool the rangers can pick from so they can’t mess it up”

And then on the other hand I see our insiders talking about them being hot for Guhle at that spot and I say “god damn it Gordie”

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

im liking jack quinn right now.

Lundell doesnt sound like he has the upside we want. Def seems like another Lias Anderson.

Guhle im ehh on. He seems like another DeAngelo. A defender who can play offensively but doesnt seem to know how to defend

Do some more homework

I hope so. Offense seems to be the only knock on this kid from what I've read.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Lias and Lundell are different players but Lundell is a significantly better prospect

If the Rangers land him I’ll be thrilled

 

[rangers1314]

Watch the Rangers not only take Guhle at 10, but take him with Jake Sanderson still on the board.

For the sake of my own sanity, I am choosing to believe that BBKers is speculating and hasn't heard anything concrete.

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

Do some more homework

Then please explain. Bc from what im reading,
he plays against men (check)
He isnt a high upside player 2nd/3rd line center (check)
Hard working, goes to the dirty areas, plays a 200ft game (check, check, check)

Lundell’s upside is higher than Lias’ was. Lias was going to cap out at a 2C if all went according to plan, Lundell projects out as a 1C if it all goes right

And Lundell skating isn’t nearly as bad as Lias imo

Thank you for clarifying. just doesnt seem like he has the offensive upside to be a #1 center

You forgot to add his foot speed, he’s slow

 

[Trxjw]

Lundell has the skill set that makes you think there might be more offensive upside there than he's shown so far. Lias never really had that. He was always more of an opportunistic scorer than someone who had offensive skill to develop.

 

[BBKers]

Guys. I have not heard anything concrete about Guhle from legit sources. It is what I expect to happen. But the pirate talk is entirely another thing - which I have heard.
