To my draft guru friends on the draft threads, I would be curious to know what you think of Kemell at that point. @WeThreeKings, still think the kid is a Gilbert Brulé clone? @NotProkofievian Still think its laughable to have ranked him 3rd OV? There is nothng wrong to change our mind once in a while BTW. Did you finally figure out why Wright dropped on draft day? Can you now see what I meant regarding Slaf's power tools or you are rather still trying to figure out?
@Mrb1p Do you surely but slowly learn to get some love for our 1st OV pick?
Nothing wrong with being high on Kemell. But...isn't it ironic ragging on Wright dropping in the draft saying you are right/NHL scouts agreed while the guy you are pumping also dropped as per opinion of said NHL scouts.To my draft guru friends on the draft threads, I would be curious to know what you think of Kemell at that point. @WeThreeKings, still think the kid is a Gilbert Brulé clone? @NotProkofievian Still think its laughable to have ranked him 3rd OV?

Yeah, but its harder to value a 17 yrs old kid playing in a top men euro league like the Liiga than a kid playing vs his age group in a junior league like the CHL. Kemell had a hard time to find his mojo back after his shoulder injury, measured 1 inch shorter than his official size at the combine and struggled alot in his interviews since his english speaking is really bad. All factors that didnt play in his favor, but yeah dropping to 17 is insane to me while Wright dropping to 4 was insane for alot of people.

Only wanted to see where their mind was at that point regarding the last draft, no big deal here. I kinda find it funny that NP keeps trolling me subtly with his Bedard remarks when he felt pretty quiet and polite the weeks prior the draft with my short list in play hehe, but when it comes to NP, there is no surprise here, just a scaried little squirrel hiding behind his nuts, no balls at all.
I dont know if its too early.It's way too early to have a firm opinion on Luke Tuch but I have to admit I'd be happier with Niederbach or Andrae or Cormier or Hirvonen or Niemela right about now
Edit: Or Simontaival...Yeah...
None of them has played a single pro NA game yet, I think it's only fair to wait a bit before passing a definitive judgment on the draft class. It doesn't look good for Tuch right now though, that much is clear.
Next season will tell, it's pretty much do or die for him. Junior year, no covid restrictions, a full summer to get healthy. He takes that next step now or he never will.
All the talent in the Tuch family went to one brother.
Maybe it’ll be more of a Nic vs Marcus Foligno talent divide…..I can see Luke being more of a physical force in his first few years and the production will come in his 26-27yrs
He needs to shoe something in his upcoming junior year. He was not very good last season.
On hockeydb, luke tuch progression is more looking like a bust than a top 9 forward.
