It’s also just 1 game so there’s that.
Yeah. A rookie scrimmage in which a top 5 drafted player should be shining.Based on a rookie scrimmage in September.

Just reminds me of the Hawks taking Barker top five but that miss was covered by Keith at mid fifties. All rebuilds have high pick misses, even ones that end up with Cup winning cores.Based on a rookie scrimmage in September.

More or less meaningless scrimmages but you should see some individual skill shine through for individual players. They aren’t exactly high competition games.Based on a rookie scrimmage in September.
(I didn’t watch Reinbacher so this isn’t me saying he did poorly)
And there was skill shown, but people people like to call 19 years old busts.
Who? Where? Or is that just the claim you’re making when someone has a non biased opinion of a player on your favourite team?

If the hat doesn't fit, don't wear it, but someone in here literally called him a miss and compared him to Cam Barker.
He definitely is trending towards a miss at #5. He hasn’t shown much to prove otherwise. That doesn’t mean he’s a bust. I’m not sure why people always conflate the two

How is he trending toward a miss?
And you're just playing semantics at that point with the "bust" thing.

No real stand out last night between the Flames and Jets. Flames best player arguably was a 25 year old they got from the NCAA last year in Sam Morton.
Pretty much 0 structure out there so it's hard to get a good read on the players.
If we want to play the bust card, Honzek doesn't impress me at all. Wasn't a top 10 pick so I am not that disappointed, but still sucks to see a 1st rounder seemingly push to bust territory. Really hope he turns it around this year and shows something.

He aint a bust, simply a very boring player that a team should not pick so high.

A team like the leafs would love to have a 25 years old Reinbacher in their lineup to help them win in the playoffs right now. No highlights flashes but stability and good break out passes and transition.

What about 25 year old Michkov?

All offense clearly works when it’s time to win in the playoffs, you’re right.

Brett Connolly and Jonathan drouin covered by Point and Kucherov. Doesn’t matter how you find great players all that matters is you find them .

Hutson looked good but then again he was facing worse competition then he faced in the NCAA

Would the Leafs be a better team if they had of drafted Noah Hannifin then Mitch Marner in 2015?
for sure, I mean right now its really just about seeing how advanced his skill and agility is against his competition... will be fun to see him grow in the NHL, and see if he really can adapt in all facets of the game
that quickness, hes really going to stand out this year. He wont be perfect, but I foresee some highlight reel plays ...
