That Patrickustan guy PHI drafted might merit consideration. Or is he a bust in your eyes already, like Puljujarvi?
Too early to gauge where Nolan Patrick is, but I believe that Pettersson will be the superior player. I don’t recall saying that Puljiu is a bust. I just don’t think Piljiu will be a superstar player like a Laine or Matthews, and I also don’t think that Puljiujarvi will be as inpressive as Matthew Tkachuk.
I think Puljiu will be a decent 2nd line player one day, but nothing more than that.
I feel the same way about Zadina in this coming draft. I don’t think Zadina will be a superstar like Dahlin and Svechnikov will be, but I think he’ll be a decent 2nd line player.
In a redraft, I don’t think Nolan Patrick would go at number 2, just as Puljiu wouldn’t go at #4. Similarly, in a redraft a few years from now, I think most people will select Zadina further from where he will be selected next month.
