revenge of the sith was okay, thankfully, but not on the level of any of the originals

fitzy ur a solid poster, but ur wrong here.

I don't get the Ryan Gropp comparison at all. This guy is big in ways that Ryan Gropp is not. He also is physical and mean in ways that Ryan Gropp is not. This is a great pick IMO. The next best to him for me would have been Zayde Wisdom. Between the two I would have gone with Cuylle though.

Oh there's a Gropp comparison here alright. Maybe on a lesser scale. Maybe it's a Nick Ritchie versus Hinistroza or a Richie versus a lesser but faster version of Pageau, or a RH Matt Cullen. So it's not a Gropp and Barzal thing again but there is a similarity.

Koolee's scored a few off of JL Foudy feeds. Now I have JL Foudy as a grinder, and as more of a race horse on the perimeter. One the guys online had JL Foudy as a top tier playmaker, the main reason for that is Foudy's speed creates openings and Couley had a number of tap ins... I personally thought Foudy was more of an outside guy and not really a top tier playmaker. The guy sitting on the inside and in front of the net is Cooley.

So similar to how Gropp tapped in some hype off those Barzal feeds, Quols tapped a few in from Foudy. That said, Barzal attacked the net, Foudy skates around more but still uses his speed to create lanes and breakdowns. Not saying Foudy is Barzal, but just acknowledging the similarites. That being said, you have to go to those areas and win battles to get those types of goals.

You know you are into Gen Z when they say RotS is the best Star Wars movie.

Had the exact same thought. When he was like "it's easy" or whatever I was like...of course it is!

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Put him with Lemieux in a few years and go to work

Yeah these kids grew up with Anakin, not Luke.

Just saw a video of this kid from his Junior team.... he literally talks about tuning out what people say... then you see a FB comment about Millennials, and that's replied to with a correction saying he's Gen Z. This is too hilarious. Gotta say... when you draft a kid... you're drafting the person and not just the hockey player... I get major league Ryan Clowe vibes from Koules... except Gen Z.

Some info on Cuylle for you.

I had him ranked 12th among OHL'ers this year.

Some good scout and media quotes on him from my polls.

I think we can all agree on the Coolio nickname

pretty epic

Livin' in a Bangstas Paradise.

This kid likes the Star Wars prequels BUST

the thing is, the Star Wars prequels were pretty much made for kids and not the adults who were fans of the original so I'd give him a pass on this one due to extreme age discrepancy.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

This kid play RW at all or is he strictly a LW?

As one of those kids who grew up with the prequels and remembers watching episode 3 in theaters, I hate those movies now lmao

 

[RangersFan1994]

Cuylle will have a better NHL career than Andersson on my opinion.

Prequels:
—Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon sent to negotiate with separatists violating an intergalactic trade agreement
—Anakin slaughters sand people (the women and the children too)
—Anakin slaughters the god dang younglings

Return of the Jedi:
—The Empire is toppled by f***ing teddy bears

I hear what you're saying but definitely willing to cut an 18 y/o a good bit of slack on "professionalism" if you will if that's what you're getting at. A locker room needs some guys to lighten the mood as well.

 

[Mikos87]

Man the more that I think about it, the more I really like this pick. I really, really like this pick.

Oh no... not at all. There are teams who have trouble assimilating young stars. I don't encourage that to be the goal.

Got it must have misread your point.

 

[Mikos87]

Got it must have misread your point.

No I just found it ironic that we were talking about RotS and Gen Z, and a video pops up about him from a year ago with prototypical Gen Z musings.

but did you enjoy them as a kid? I hated them. but I can see what Lucas was going for. GALACTIC MERCHANDISING EMPIRE

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

at least he didn't say any of the new ones.

 

[SML2]

I am deep into my "we just drafted #1OA" feelings, but I am I the only one who feels like this guy could fill the Adam Graves role in our movement forward?

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Havent seen much on this guy, but from what ive read doesnt seem like a good skater. Is this true or overblown?

You're right. I mean, imagine this place without somebody like @Thirty One

Millennials will be 60 and 90 year old boomers will still be calling 18 year olds millennials.
