Unfair Huggy Bear
9/10.
Horvat will make the show for sure, you can just tell he's one of those big-game players. 16 goals in 21 playoff games...enough said. That's better production than MacKinnon or Drouin. Nichushkin might put up more points but we could not afford to take the risk of him leaving for Russia. He seems exactly like the kind of player that would butt heads with Torts as well...awful showing at the combine.
Shinkaruk will be a steal, no doubt in my mind. He's an easy top 10 pick in a weaker draft and if he'd duplicated his 49 goal season from last year he'd have probably gone in the top 10 year. Fantastic skillset here and should be on the top line for the WJC. Attitude issues are a bit troubling but that can always get sorted out. You can't teach hands like this kid has.
Don't know anything about Cassels. Neat that he gets picked by his Dad's old team.
Subban is another great pick, dropped because of size concerns but he put up numbers comparable to guys like Nurse and Pulock. Plus, he's got that competitive Subban drive. I have no doubt that he'll make the show one day.
Don't know much about the other picks.
No idea about Cassels
