[ZDH]

Wow

 

[AD1066]

Noooo Stevie what are you doing

 

[Ed Ned and Leddy]

Looove it dude

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

f*** YES BABYYYY

 

[DoMakc]

Steve was in talkie mood today, even congratulated Vegas. And picked some guy from Canadian Juniors

 

[Ulysses31]

will try to learn to love this pick

 

[Chad Smiley]

Pure garbage. I'm so sick of this garbage I could puke. Constantly leaving better players on the board because they don't fit some BS profile. Keep losing Yzermsn. Maybe in another 10 years we will get there.

 

[IceColdOx]

Was hoping for Wood.

 

[SimonEdvinssonAtSix]

Those of you saying 3rd liner and such... do you remember 2019? I 'member.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

If he had actual talent around him...

 

[izlez]

Oooooof

[Zetterberg4Captain]

Hope SY knows what he is doing here to pass on benson..

 

[Henkka]

Danielson!

Love this pick.

Defence first.

Selke Trophy Center!

Right handed.

Good at faceoffs.

 

[Holden Caufield]

The TSN draft crew analysis pretty much sums up this pick.

‘He won’t be a good point producer at the nhl level, but a good middle of the lineup guy.’

Brutal in the top 10!

 

[Winged Wheel Willy]

Man, I give Stevie the benefit of the doubt. But the amount of pure skill he left on the board.

 

[RedHawkDown]

I am upset. And sad. I am supremely confident benson was the right pick.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

I know nothing about this pick other than he looks pretty bored for a kid who just got drafted in the top 10 by Steve Yzerman.

 

[AlwaysSunnyInDetroit]

A guy nobody was asking for...

How many of you guys punching air right now? Lol

Haha! Not who I was hoping for but he's a Red Wing now, so I can get behind it

 

[Bondurant]

I trust Yzerman over TSN pundits.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

A guy nobody was asking for...

How many of you guys punching air right now? Lol

I’m punching celebratory air with (in spirit) with @Frk It and @rzombo4prez.

 

[ricky0034]

not even Yzerman was super enthusiastic about this pick

note how he took the time to shout out Poile AND to congratulate Vegas instead of jumping to the pick

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

YES!!!!!!! Love it.
