From what I've read, Clarke is better defensively too. Playing in the Slovakian league where you don't get ice time on D unless you're defensively responsible probably helped that. The only concern seems to be whether his skating reduces his effectiveness at the NHL level, although there seems to be a large variance in opinions on that.
Brandt is more like Ty Smith, he does have skill but no defensemen in this draft has more pure offensive skill than Hughes IMO.
That's fair to say, either way they're both fantastic offensive defensemen, we couldn't go wrong either way.
Meh I think Clarke would out produce Hughes . Just points / scoring I’m not saying who the better pick is as I have no damn clue but I think Clarke has unreal hockey IQ and hands when it comes to offence .
I see them at the same level points wise, but if I had to go with one I might go with Hughes just because he's only played 46 games over the past two seasons, I think with more playing time the better his game will shine, but it's really all a crapshoot due to the pandemic. Another factor is how young Hughes is, he won't turn 18 till fall.
Don't hold back man, let us know how you really feel lol
I did make sweden 1-8 canada review before, game where Edvinsson was lookin great and i pretty clearly explain why. Right in this moment I`m makin a review of the 1-12 game. I specifically take games where Edvinsson's team lost loudly. So that makes the contract more visible. There are many opinions I disagree and it is not difficult for me to explain this. But the final review of such a game will say more than anything.
Only one is from April, two are from this week and I've heard of Brennan Klak and they're not only the ones, someone posted for you an aggregate rankings that has him at #5: 2021 NHL Draft Aggregate
I don't do FanDuel or any of those but I would put $10 on Eklund going #1 just for shit and giggles, odds got to be high and Sabres do love him.
yeah they have Power -1100 to be the #1 pick and Beniers at -300 to be the #2 pick. After that is where it gets murky a bit but for the 3rd spot they have Guenther at +105 and the next closest is Eklund at +300 so yeah Eklund being the Ducks pick wouldn't be a crazy surprise.
The odds makers have Clarke going to Ducks over any of the remaining forwards? That surprises me as most people are projecting Ducks to go forward and it's between Guenther and McTavish. Interesting.
No, I was just showing the highest odds for each position at each slot because Mckenzie was guessing that there would be 3 forwards and 2 dman in the top 5.
