What a snipe! I'm not sure about him right now in the top 10 but if we pick in the early teens, I'm absolutely on board
His size, shot, and skating are elite. Everything else is fairly questionable. He is going to be a player scouts are heavily divided on. He could be a consistent 30 to 40 goal guy, but he could also be a player who drive you absolutely insane in a top line role like Evander Kane due to his shoot 1st, shoot 2nd, and then look for a pass mindset. While his tool set is much more questionable, I think I like Tolvanen due to his higher offensive IQ, which I think could lead to being a smart player with high-iq guys like Marner and Matthews. Tippett has the tools to create his own shot more often, but with high-end playmakers Tolvanen could be deadly.
One of the guys on the main board KillemAll83 has been putting togeather some good shift by shift videos, along with a bunch of individual highlight packs. Here are his first 3 shift by shift videos of top prospects in this draft.
