TSN scouting report:
Michael is a massive winger with touch in his hands and the ability to make plays. Has good awareness and with the ability to impact the game with his size which carves out some room for himself, he then can make good plays. A very intriguing ‘big body’ winger.

Big risk.

 

[Wats]

Not sure he'll end up better than a future Bryan Bickell. I think it's a reach based on need.

 

[Et le But]

Well, everyone who thinks size is more important than things like "best player available" will be thrilled.

Serious reach.

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

Meh...

 

[GoHabsGo76]

I'm okay with it. Would've preferred Zykov but as an American I don't mind another one, and he's huge.

 

[Eye of Ra]

powerforward.

 

[gusfring]

Bust. Terrible pick.

 

[Et le But]

powerforward.

Or grinder.

 

[Jmac1160*]

****ing joke. "lets not take zykov or hartman"

 

[MichiganWolverines]

Bust. Terrible pick.

Too early to state that.

 

[Lucky Luke]

Turner Stevenson with no hands.

 

[void]

ROFL his interview! Sounds like a massive doucher

 

[Bill McNeal]

Reminds me of Gabe.

 

[WhiskeySeven*]

Well, everyone who thinks size is more important than things like "best player available" will be thrilled.

In the first round you're supposed to pick talent above all, unless in extreme circumstances.

I'm just underwhelmed with another 4+ year project.

 

[faulk]

has bust all over his face

 

[OneSharpMarble]

Terrible choice, timmins should not be allowed to choose forwards.

 

[gusfring]

Too early to state that.

It's an opinion.

 

[Jmac1160*]

who takes a grinder for the first pick? "that is a big kid" who ****ing cares when he wont even be close to a top 6. This is ********

 

[GoHabsGo76]

Gotta love when your pick says he really didn't think he'd go this early...

 

[TYLENOL]

Love the risk, i wanted an interesting pick, and thats what i got!

 

[AboveandBeyond]

We need a big body like him and the guy can score . we can still land erne or zykov potentially !

 

[Sandvich]

I wanted Seth Jones wtf... Timmins.... goddamnit

 

[Em Ancien]

A guy who's going to bring tools we don't currently have in our toolbox at 25, with possible top 6 upside?

Yeah, you guys go complain about that.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Great pick guys.

Kids a monster; going to be mobile 6'6, 250lb powerforward in his prime. Underrated skill level as well.
