interesting pick
"
He is a high-volume shooter, with many of his shots coming from in close, and in the slot, McKeen's Hockey 2019
His frame and willingness to physically engage made him an impressive forechecker as well, Hockeyprospect.com 2019
He has the hockey sense and playmaking ability to make him a dangerous player offensively, Future Considerations 2019

Nice pick

 

[Canucks5551]

Seems fine for a 4th rounder. I didn’t have any must picks left on the board.

 

[Paulinvancouver]

Shouldn’t he have gone much earlier than this? About 80 or so?

Great draft for me so far.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Flint was 2nd worst team in the OHL but Keppen was pretty good with the older guys Dellandrea and Durham.

 

[Addison Rae]

Another solid pick.

 

[Bitz and Bites]

Going all in on gritty scoring wingers so far.I like this pick,good size and upside and could play anywhere in the lineup if all goes well.

Now we need to bolster the back end in a bad way.

 

[Cupless44]

Love that pick in the 4th round. Last 2 picks have been good today.

Too bad Benning can't trade

LOL IKR?

Couldn't they just have signed a forward and drafted Attard in the 3rd? I'd be feeling much more comftable about this draft.

This is a solid pick

Couple of years that draft pick will come back to bite us in the ass

The picks have been good but the trade is awful

I like the pick at this stage of the draft, good flyer to take. These were Pronman's thoughts on him back in May (didn't have him in his 107 top prospects, but someone asked about him in the comments):

I like his hockey sense and compete level a lot. Appreciate he can score goals. Don't think his speed or skill are anything noteworthy. Know some scouts who like the kid a lot.

 

[Yultron]

Absolutely love this pick

 

[CanaFan]

Seems like a solid pick at this spot. Good size, production, and age (not a D+1). Who knows if he works out but has the profile of a potential good pick. Like Podz, Hoglander, and this pick. Rest of the draft is a mystery box but owing to a lack of picks in the top 100, it’s probably going to be a black hole.
