Great post. Out of all these expert reports, from some that haven't even seen the kid, this is one thing that's never been mentioned before. But it is pretty significant mark in his scouting profile.
Nice observation.
Agreed. Thanks for the post SectionX.
I'll be ecstatic if the Pens select Backstrom. I agree with McKeen's that he is the best out of the forwards.
We do need defense, but I just think it makes so much sense to pick Backstrom. He can compliment either Malkin or Crosby very well, and I think he plays a similar game to Crosby which is how I'd like to see this team play.
