Haven't seen him play personally. His scouting reports make him sound like Wyatt Kalynuk.

The Keith comparable has my attention. Taking this pick at face value (3rd rounders are longshots), but if we hit on this, give Kelley a fat raise. This is pretty clearly a long play. And that's fine.

So we have two Duncan Keith's in the pipeline? ya love to see it

Opnions all over the place by different organizations ranki gs...butvwent aporox. Where expected based on the "consenus" panel of 10 nhl scouts used in the Bob Mckenzie rankings...

I would have gone to bigger dmen ...not tge usually small pmd types favored by Stan/Kelley ...

Also thin a lot of Min.H S guys simple never make it unless taken firstvorcesrly2ndv...Pickscthisvkatecfrom that level are long shots.

IF going Dman,I would have taken Jurmo andvhisc6'4 size)...but Stan thinks every shrimp pmd is the next Keith.. Heor Kelkey has a sickness in this love forvtgecsmall pmd.

Compound it with this was mo value steal and I am disappointed in the pick.

I mean, comps like that should be taken with the world's largest grains of salt. If people thought he was Duncan Keith he would be the top pick in the draft.

 

[Putt Pirate]

I like the great skater and good first pass. Lets see how he develops. But as hawks rule said i don't like comps to HOF players.

That is who I immediately thought of.

[goldenbladz1]

One of the draft profile I read compared him to Brett Hedican

Alright, another super good kid it seems.

We always draft high character prospects for the most part and I love it.

Definitely rooting for him now to be as good as he can be.

Yep. Don't sleep on the sleeper. Long way from the show, but this kid has a chance.

 

[Kevin Musto]

A victim of the Mild

LD is a weaker spot in our pool. Gotta like that he can skate and make a good first pass. Wish him the best developing in Duluth, I’ll be sure to wave as I drive by next summer.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

The dude's name literally means "Wood Emperor."

He's a freaking young adult novel high fantasy character. Watch out, rest of the league.

That's what the ladies call him

 

[Toews2Bickell]

so hawks walked away with john tavares, corey crawford and duncan keith...sounds like a great draft

So I guess Stan keeps his job for a little while longer, LOL

 

[echlfreak]

Wyatt had a great first game vs UNO. Played evs, pp and pk. This kid could be a stud. They just started games in the pod. Liking this pick a lot!!! Great skater!

 

[CallMeShaft]

A good game? As if he wasn't in the lead for that 20th spot on our prospect list already.

 

[BK]

Kid can play.
