You’re looking for linear production from a clear project pick. He’s the antithesis of Heidt. Heidt has played against teenagers for 4 years now, and Stramel decided to play against men when he should’ve been a HS senior. Now, last year was obviously a disaster. Things looked bleak, but the size and smarts and defensive conscientiousness was still visible.
But look at him now, a disruptive force playing 1C on the best team in the country and still only scratching the surface.
Never reached PPG at Rosemount? He was 15 years old for crying out loud. A freaking freshman. Tough crowd.
I don’t think it was a great pick, especially with GP on the board but man, I agree with DGB that the analysis from Wild fans has been way out of touch.
