Pautov-Barkey-Brink - The new Smurf Line!My favorite pick of our draft because I can lie to myself and hope he becomes the next Kaprisov until he falls off the rador three years from now. That gives me three years of hope.
Is it too soon to anoint this guy as the next major late-round Russian steal? Probably. But that won't stop me from implying that he is.
Next? who are the others?
Thought you were talking strictly the Flyers drafting.Kucherov and Kaprizov, plus Panarin being a total oversight in his draft year
I'd be curious what the success rate of scorers outside the top 100 is the last few years.I just want to see more players like this. I'm so sick of the low ceiling/high floor players. They just don't move the needle enough for me.
Along with pretty much every Flyers forward prospect.I'd be curious what the success rate of scorers outside the top 100 is the last few years.
Before the league caught on that rule changes had opened up the ice for smaller players, you could steal a player like Bratt.
But I'd suspect that the better offense first undersized prospects are no longer overlooked.
It would be nice if Gendron or Pautov turn out to be steals, but I remember Kase getting hype before he crashed and burned.
