I was listening to this episode at the gym this past week, and was getting frustrated with his reasoning. He doesn't have blazing speed (we know that, he never did, but that's not part of his game). He's 5'10" (so what, he's built like a fire hydrant). He isn't great defensively (from what I saw I'm parts this preseason, he's working well to get back and help out). He isn't built like a playoff forward (who cares, not all players on NHL teams are 6'4"). He was also saying that all defenders in the KHL are weak and he's never been tested against good defenders (dumb take).
Overall, he just wants to justify the Reinbacher pick.. that's fine.. I'm a Habs fan, wanted Michkov at 5.. I'll trust the Reinbacher pick (as much as I would have taken a handful of players over him).. but apparently McCagg never learned in school that to persuade someone to see your point of view, you don't have to put the other thing down. (ex. McDonald's is the best because Burger King's fries aren't as good). No, tell me why McDonald's is good.. tell me why Reinbacher was the right pick without putting Michkov down!
