Lol who would you have taken Gruden over? Gruden is nothing special. He forechecks hard and smart. Ohhhh.
Is he better than Wahlstrom? Nope.
Sandin? Nope.
McLaughlin? Absolutely not.
Hillis? Nope. Hillis has more skill in his playmaking than Gruden does in his entire body.
Morozov? Nope. Great two way center. Does great things all over the ice and has skills.
Iskhakov? That's a gamble because of size but as far as pure talent goes. Gruden couldn't even lick his skate socks.
Better than McLaughlin, absolutely. I'd only pick Wahlstrom and Sandin over him. Rest of your other picks are Russians you've never seen play lmao, sorry but no one cares about eliteprospects stats watching.
