Can CK play in the AHL next season?

He might not be 18 in time, he has a pretty late Bday, im not sure though

 

[Plub]

I'm hoping he goes the Jr. path. I'm scared for life by players who play college. DAMN YOU WHEELER!!!

 

[lanky]

He's very similar to Mitch Marner. He can pull a rabit out of a hat and leave you wondering how. I'm disappointed because I like big players in the top ten. I'll get over it come rospect camp.

How soon could Keller play for us?

 

[hbk]

He was high on my list. First line skill. Can't argue that he was likely most skilled player available at that slot.

 

[DesertDawg]

How soon could Keller play for us?

...as soon as he grows up!!!

I was losing my **** when it looked like tkachuk might fall to us for a bit there. Oh well. This guy will be good it's just going to take some time. Which is fine because we have so many prospects such as the stromes, dvoraks, maybe even perlinis of the world that might make the roster before him

 

[rt]

This is fine with me. Mostly because we got Chychrun.

That to me makes this selection a little better. More excited about Chychrun than Keller.

I do think we will see one of our wingers being traded away in the near future if Keller actually signs with us

Why? Keller is a C.

Why? Keller is a C.

I have a feeling he'll make his pro adjustment on the wing. Just a hunch of course

You could be right.

I'm eligible, but I don't think I'm ready. I'll stay in the Scottsdale Ice Den house B-league next year and work on developing my game in time for the 2017-2018 season.

Another small, skilled, left shot winger. OK. Not thrilled.

 

[Summer Rose]

I was hoping that Tkachuk would fall to us. Damn you Calgary.

 

[blinkman360]

My favorite player in the draft. Congrats to you guys. Add in Chychrun and you guys had a pretty special first round.

How soon could Keller play for us?

He's 14 years old. So give it four years. Haha.

 

[RABBIT]

I think most of us will feel better about this pick once the prospect camp comes. This dude plays like Kane and Johnny hockey.

 

[Club]

Arizona should be super pumped for this guy! Great selection for them!

 

[hbk]

Hockey sense is off the charts good. I love this pick skill wise.

He's almost another Max Domi. Maybe faster, maybe not as much character.

 

[BlazingBlueAnt]

He's almost another Max Domi. Maybe faster, maybe not as much character.

Higher skill level imo, not nearly as much of a physical specimen

 

[hbk]

He's almost another Max Domi. Maybe faster, maybe not as much character.

He has a lot of Marner in him. That's a compliment. Just needs to cut out that cut across the ice move in offensive zone.

We need size. We are getting a little small upfront.
