Just gonna remind some of the couch scouts on here complaining that a lot of people complained about Larkin not having enough offense to be picked that early. Bertuzzi being picked almost made this website go down lol.
The wings are a great drafting team, they know what theyre doing so in 3 years when we can actually start to gauge these guys complain and say how bad the draft is.
I really see the light with Saarijarvi, Holway and Marsh.
Those guys have huge upside. Saarijarvi was overlooked because of his size, but has a boat load of talent, skill and skating. Holway was overlooked because of the level he played at last year, but appears to have all the tools, size and athleticism to develop long term. Marsh had a darn impressive rookie year for a guy coming over from the states with little fan fare. Central scouting seems to think we got a deal on him. Plays the game hard and seems like a Bertuzzi/Shaw type (if all things go right).
Mid round goalies are never going to get fanfare. It's disheartening whenever a goalie is picked, but I understand it has to be done. So I accept it. The only real eye roller for me is Pearson. So all together I like this draft.
