This guy has an edge to his game. I really like this pick and thought he would go first round. he needs to get bigger and stronger but I see him as an Oshie type or , dare I suggest it,

Wright - Firkus = Bergeron - Marchand.

Buddy of Soucy’s. Very interesting.

Love this pick. Had him at 17 on my board. Kid is a gamer!

**EDIT** Just realized that some of the younger posters will come in here, read my post, and assume he likes video games.... With the way the world is changing, the English language is going to need some new vocabulary words.

Yeah, I’m very excited about this pick.

Probably closer to Marchand than Oshie. Hopefully without the personality issues. Keep in mind Marchand weighs 182, so while he's short he's actually pretty strong. This kid will need to stack on some serious muscle to get to that level, and might wind up being more like Shitty Kitty (DeBrincat).

I would have preferred a defenseman here (Casey?), because next year's draft looks thin on defensemen. But there's no denying this team needs some scoring too.

Warren would have been a good D pick but in the end I think Firkus will be the right choice. Firkus has the compete and the desire and I am confident he will add on the muscle and strength needed.

I don't hate the pick, I get the kid can score.

I might be looking too far ahead, but next year's draft is thin on defensemen and d-men take longer to develop. Forward prospect depth looks great, I'd like to see more D.

There's one more year left until that happens and like every year there will be guys shooting up the draft charts because of a good season.

For example.
One year ago absolutely no one had Slafkovsky as a top five pick in this years draft and he ended up going #1.
Or a guy like Korchinski, who was basically a bubble first rounder and ended up being drafted at #7.

Firkus is a gifted offensive player with a lot of creativity and a good shot.
He'll need at least two years, IMO, given his slender built and the fact that he'll need to add at least about 20 pounds to his current weight of about 150lbs.

It's a VERY good draft next year though. Plenty of options.

Another high roll for charisma for a kraken prospect. When these guys get up to the bigs, the Kraken will be the most likeable team in the league on personality alone.

 

[KevSkillz4]

I wanted him with the 26th overall pick for Habs, but I think Mesar and Firkus have similar talent. Both have top 6 potential.

Great draft by your team, I really like what you have do in this draft.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Will go to the games in town when the Warriors come visiting just to see young Firkus

 

[The Marquis]

Oh hell yeah. Hadn’t thought of that. I need to make a point of seeing the Warriors games in Portland.

I went looking for this too but didn't see a home game against them...or really any teams from the east. Seems like that's how it's been since covid unfortunately because I like to schedule games in order to watch certain prospects too.

But twelve games against the t-birds, lol.

I never go to the T-Birds games in Portland since they started that dynamic pricing bullshit. Always seem to cost more for no good reason at all.
