Shhhhh! He's going to hear you!I honestly don’t think we can screw up this pick there is so many guys I like in our range.
Oh crud. Too late.

I can see the Dach comparisons to Leon Drai and Getzlaf, but I also think it should be noted Drai had a much stronger d season production wise than Dach.
I personally get the Zacha/Nolan Patrick vibes based on similar production/size, both of whom are good NHLers, but neither will likely ever be all stars. Dach has the body of a man and is playing against a lot of kids who would be in High School
Caufield
Newhook
Lavoie
Boldy
Brink
Anyone think they are on Detroit's list at 6?
Trade down maybe if they are?
Who do I think Detroit is highest on off that list? Boldy.
Do I want to trade back? Hell no.
Agreed on the 2nd.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Lavoie there at 6.

I don’t know....I consider the Rasmussen pick pretty off board. If we didn’t pick him, he probably would have gone around 20-25I would be very surprised, and honestly, I would call health department in Michigan, because Holland would need to be put in an old folks home if he drafted him at 6. Because he would be losing his mind.

And honestly, I wish they hadn't gone off the board. Being massive in the CHL can be a major driver of offense. In the NHL he's basically a warm body. Unless he takes major steps forward, Detroit essentially drafted a bottom 6 winger.
If they went by the board, they would have picked Vilardi who played 4 games total this season, all in the AHL.And honestly, I wish they hadn't gone off the board.

Dont try too hard to make yourself look stupid

Well I think we're screwed. Dont know very many 19 year olds who were junior eligible that played in the NHL and then improved their game as they got older. 19 year old season is already done so I doubt he takes any steps forward at all
Have you ever heard of a 19 year old taking massive steps forward? It’s so unlikely..And honestly, I wish they hadn't gone off the board. Being massive in the CHL can be a major driver of offense.

We got Rasmussen just were he was projected. His bread and butter was net front , redirection. He is goal scorer ,so does Zadina. We badly needed to bring elite playmaker, and those 2 will be much better.I get the sarcasm, but, the draft was considered very shallow, he was 6'6'' and well over 200 pounds in a kids league. It gave him a massive advantage (pun intended). Especially given his game, which was driven by him being able to bulldoze in front of the net in power plays, there are a lot of red flags that he isn't a top 6 talent.

He did show tools. You can’t ignore that because they’re not the tools you personally look for. Few 18-19 year olds are as effective at winning puck battles and occupying the area in front of the net. As he gets stronger he’ll be dominant in those areas, the rest of his game is in question sure but too early to write him off as bottom 6.Some do, most don't. Probably 80% of picks don't. Ras was a massive 18 year old. He was able to use his size and strength to dominate. That is something you can't do on its own to dominate in the NHL. You need to have real tools. He hasn't shown those tools at all at the NHL level. I am hoping a year in the AHL he can develop them, but his first year in the NHL wasn't encouraging.
Soon enough he will be 6'6 240 lb monster in the NHL and then he can get back to dominating. Ras will need a few summers in the gym to get there but he will fill out that body soon enough. Wasnt a great season for him but he has a lot of growing to do. Probably learnt a lot this season.kids league as a 6'6'' 210 pound man.
