Now we didn't play Matt Martin and Mitch Marner survived. My old school thinking has to adjust. The intimidation comes from having Matthews, Nylander, Marner, Reilly, and Tavares on the PP.
Hopefully he can convince his best friend to attend Leafs camp.
This guy is pretty slick. Probably an equivalent prospect to Bracco, but more competitive, less physically developed and probably a higher upside overall.
39 assists this year for a guy who was:
A) barely eligible for the Draft
B) a playmaker playing with no real high-end scorers
How anybody can actually HATE this pick is beyond me. Sure you may have preferred someone else, but this kid has legit Top 6 upside with the drive to get there.
To everyone trashing him who has probably never seen him play or know what way he shoots, here is a good thread.
good pick eb, sda is a good boyOne of the picks I’m most intrigued about .....
Bracco. Bracco while not explosive had elite edge work which allowed him to avoid getting hit. A better question is SDA vs a draft eligible Timoshov.mikeyg here with another one of his famous hot takes
More potential: draft aged bracco or draft aged SDA?
By far the funniest looking jersey in the organisation..
Letters be barely fitting!
He also had good seats at the ACC. Sat in those babies a few times.Another SDA comparison might be a better conditioned and more svelte Kyle Wellwood. Wellwood was also a mid round draftee, was small, not super swift and had terrific vision. Wellwood did lead the OHL in scoring and played almost 500 NHL games so this is not at all an insult.
As an aside, I could see SDA as a top ten scorer in the OHL, with a good team and the right linemates.
Russia doesn't tend to take 18 year olds, they also don't tend to take CHLers. I would say he's a very fringe candidate.Any shot at the WJHC if he has a big year?
