Garbage mobile website... Should be Dach in title obviously.
I said Kakko before the draft and I’ll stick to that.
Neither three was NHL ready, though
He was more ready than the other two, but that doesn't mean he was ready. He still probably should have had another year development.Did you watch Dach at all?
He is better, with more upside... His raw package is the most elite. Hughes hates traffic, all the skill in the world but I am not sure he has the compete to be an effective player at his size.He was more ready than the other two, but that doesn't mean he was ready. He still probably should have had another year development.
This makes ZERO sense to change your mind from Dach, Hughes, Kakko to Kakko, Hughes, Dach after this past season. Just strange.I had Dach #1 at one point before the draft, people flipped on me. I have him 3 now, Kakko 1st slightly over Hughes. All 3 are close though.
Dach with the highest floor, highest ceiling, and greatest impact on the ice.
Not a difficult choice.

How many WHL games of his did you watch? When did you become aware of his existence? What are his greatest strengths and weaknesses? What about Hughes and Kakko?highest floor, probably,
highest ceiling????? Easily the lowest out of the three (ceiling means projection so ONE YEARS worth of stats doesn’t mean anything)

Now that the season's over, which player would you have #1 in a re-draft?

With this reply I am confident that you know nothing whatsoever about Dach. It’s funny that you propose that I am blindly making my opinion from one season’s worth of statistics when I am certain that your own was formulated from nothing more than draft position and a couple lines of text on the Internet here or there.
“EASILY the lowest out of the three!”
I think everyone should be admitting that Kakko and Hughes have had disappointing seasons. If you can’t admit that, it’s pointless to even discuss it because it’s such a basic thing anyone should be able to admit. But I think the majority of people will not disagree with that.
What I don’t agree with are the increasing majority of people that insist that Dach had a good season. He was a top 3 pick that was on pace for less than 30 points over an 82 game season and he didn’t even play such low minutes. There was a lot of discussion about that early in the season and it was a valid argument that he wasn’t playing enough, but so far he’s only playing one second less per game than Kakko did. It’s not garbage minutes he played this season.
And I say that as someone who now thinks that Dach is the best of the three and also had him ranked much higher than most at the draft. I think he had the best overall season of the three, but I think we should set a standard first and then apply the players to the standard. We shouldn’t start at looking for a standard that paints a certain player favorably, and then applying that standard the season the player had. Some try to do that.
Huh? Kakko had the more productive rookie yearI would probably have it Dach, Kakko, Hughes in that order.
I think the stocks of all three have dropped and all had disappointing seasons, although not that much compared to the rest of the top 10 because it’s been a very weak D+1 for the top ten of this draft. A lot of them have been close to equally bad.
I had it Kakko, Hughes, Dach at the draft, but I didn’t see a big separation between the three. I thought Kakko and Hughes would be a lot better early on than they were. Dach was the upside guy later on, but the fact that he’s equaled their seasons and maybe even slightly outproduced them gives him the slight edge right now.
I don’t see much of a reason to change up how I had Kakko and Hughes ranked. Hughes has been slightly more productive, but I expected him to be slightly more productive in their rookie years.
