Please make Kotkaniemi - Kakko happen, this is going to be unreal. They got good chemistry in WJC last year.
So, if I understand you correctly, you're more worried about his strength than his height itself. If you're rather concerned by his weight, why did you go ballistic then when I said an extra inch is not a make-or-break thing for Hughes?
To be fair, I do not know how much Hughes currently weight. So I didn't realize your "much better" version of Hughes was mostly an heavier Hughes. I laid off that kind of mensuration scrutiny the past couple of years due to my postgraduate studies
I didn't go into denial mode man, I accept these examples. They are good counter examples. But examples are not very mathematical arguments (they fail to represent trends).
What would Hughes have to do for me to evaluate him as top 5 center in the world prospect? Think about Pavel Bure's WJC performance, or Crosby (Crosby was passing the eye test at 16?) That's the moment he has to show it, to be it ...but first let's see if he beats Lafreniere and Canada in the current tournament (if he was a top 5 center prospect he would easily step on the gas and destroy Canada tomorrow, this is a U18 tournament, he should be way superior to this level at this point).

USA doesn't send the NTDP team at the Hlinka.why isnt Turcotte playing at the Hlinka?
the puck went in at 0.1Cozens ties it!!! with....0.0 left...
holy **** and they call it a goal WOW
That play right there is why Dach's not a top five pick.
If I'm drafting a player that early it better damn well be someone who WANTS the puck on their stick in the crucial moments. Not someone who'll make a Blake Comeau-esque drop pass on a clear breakaway in the semi-finals of an international tournament. Weak mentality.
Quick reminder that he scored only seven goals last year.
I've only watched the last two Canadian games and right now if I had a chance I would pick Cozens over Dach 10 out of 10 times. He seems to have the better hockey IQ, looks like a better shooter, has a better defensive game and appears to have better agility. But as I said it has only been two games.Yeah I would. Centers are just too valuable. You get a chance to run a Dach-Kotkaniemi-Poehling C line for the next decade. you take it.
