Did he actually have 253 PIMs?

Paraphasing from Draft Prospects: "plays over the line a lot of the time...gets under opponents skin but takes a lot of bad penalties (and a number of suspensions)...is a gray area player that will throw vicious hits all over the ice with disregard for player safety"

also, " has good hands, vision, makes quick plays, and explosive skater"

Steve Kournianos/"The Draft Analyst"/writer for the Sporting News said we had the "Best Bang for Buck Draft".

NHL Draft grades 2018: Islanders, Red Wings earn full marks; Rangers tank

Calgary Flames

Grade: A-
The Flames’ biggest maneuver this weekend had nothing to do with draft prospects, as they traded Dougie Hamilton, Michael Ferland and prospect Adam Fox on Day 2 to Carolina for Noah Hanifin and Elias Lindholm. The move made sense, especially when you consider the Flames weren’t picking until the fourth round anyway. All five of their picks were hard-working forwards who could provide either offense or defense, or both. Slovak center Martin Pospisil (105th) is reliable in all three zones and can match up against anyone, and Minnesota high schooler Demetrios Koumontzis (108th) not only oozes speed and puck skills, but he also hammers the puck and is strong on his skates for an undersized forward. They receive first-round quality in Slovakian pivot Milos Roman (122nd), and both Mathias Petterson (167th) and Dmitry Zavgorodniy (198th) combine finesse, skill and relentless pressure on the puck.
