The real problem with Dach is that he seems to lack hands at time... He gets caught with the puck on his stick and his brain to hands connection seem to take him a few seconds, kinda like Galchenyuk.
To me its Turcotte. Its a shame he'll have to stay behind Hughes again or play on his wing.
Oh man I couldn't stop laughing at this
good one tho it is a dream to actually draft a #1 centre in our era and actually be a contender for long time like Pittsburgh
Haven't seen much more than you did, but I'm pretty sure he played wing and C last year, but Lethbridge doesnt have a good line up at all and they seem to juggle a lot with their lines.
I'd honestly bet a lot that Kakko goes #2. He may honestly be better than Svechnikov.
Yeah, that might be premature. He has similar numbers to Aho and Pulljujarvi... He'll need to do a lot better than that before I put him on the same level as Svechnikov
He's not 6'4, has been discussed already. More like 6'1. Yes he's good, he's going to be a top five for sure.
All 2019 draft talk is premature. However, based on d-1 years, I really don't think Kakko is off from Svechnikovs talent.
Svechnikov outproduced Tolvanen in the same league by like .20 points, thats just how good the kid was in his d-1. Outproduced all his comparables by .60 in the OHL too, thats just arcade numbers from Svechnikov. He's a type of kid that is almost once in a decade kinda good.
I agree that Svechnikov had the better d-1, but Kakko is pretty much right behind him imo. Nobody else even came close to him scoring wise on his team. Just flat out dominated, and honestly looked better than Kotkaniemi at the U18.
Not gonna lie I thought he was taller than 6'1" watching him play. Guess I was wrong
Most spots Ive seen have him at 5'11, that can't be right, he seems a lot taller than that.
