definitely some hot takes in there but honestly that thread seems pretty restrained overall for such an unexpected pick at 6th overall
I think it was so unexpected that a lot of us were just too taken off guard by it to even be upset(I know I certainly felt that way, was a "guess i'll wait and see" kinda thing for me)

I seem to remember wanting a center, with Turcotte as my preference but also being fine with either Cozens or Zegras.
Seider was a major surprise, but I wasn't mad at taking a defenseman. Really Podkolzin was the only potential pick I was decidedly against.
Thumbs up so far!

Serious question: was this Yzerman's pick or did he truly trust his scouts?

I remember the rumor at the time was that Draper and co. wanted Podkolzin instead.

The scouts liked him a lot, Yzerman was perhaps his biggest backer from what I have heard. Hakan, Draper and yes Wright were big fans. I have never really gotten a clean read on if the had him over Byram, the other parts of the top 5 they did to my understanding.
But when it came time he wasn't moving back so he was clearly top of their next tier at the time. I think they were leaving with Seider or Broberg once Turcotte and Dach didn't fall.

Thats the Dutch and ORIGINAL version of his name. Translated it means Iron Man.

Didn't someone post an interview with Hakan Andersson where he revealed Seider was strongly an Yzerman pick?

Will be interesting to see if he gets any Norris consideration this year despite still being a prospect.
I'd urge people to be patient. It wasn't until Hedman was in year 5 that he was playing anywhere near that level.

I asked him, he said he meant to file Blashill's termination papers, but accidentally sent in a new contract to the league office.

I'm excited to see if he gets #53 with the Wings - as soon as his number's announced, I'm buying it. It'll be my first jersey and I want to get it right!

Can't see why he wouldn't. Higher tier picks usually get to pick their numbers right from the start.
