Struble confirmed bust.
That's the pick MB should have moved back to get extra late round picks.

They drafted this guy because he's a workout warrior. Seems like a good reason.
Subban wasn't a workout warrior and was an excellent ohl player.

I know by all accounts, it was a reach.What you really mean to say is you know nothing about Struble, but are oddly compelled to complain about the pick anyways.
Talent...Subban was a solid body size even in the OHL.. how do you think he got to that point?

As a reach you mean a steal?, only reason we were able to draft this kid is because he played high school hockey. If he played in the CHL or USNTDP i can garantee you he would have been a 1st round pick.I know by all accounts, it was a reach.
Ok. So you think it's a great pick. I get it.As a reach you mean a steal?, only reason we were able to draft this kid is because he played high school hockey. If he played in the CHL or USNTDP i can garantee you he would have been a 1st round pick.
Yes and no, he was just underlooked from playing highschool hockey. We got lucky.The Strubble’s combine results was in his favor. He gained additional points. Our scouts like to pay attention to that.

We got lucky or we did our homework. Who knows but the latest trends with our scouting results is we are doing our homework very well! We will see how the latest group keeps trending well
Pre turning Pro trends and how they do after they turn Pro. We have to wait but the trends look good in draft plus 1 and plus 2 year of development. Lets see how Suzuki, Poehling, Primeau, Brook and Kotkaniemi, Fleury do this year as pro's
Repeating myself but lucky in the way that to me it's clear that if Struble played in the USHL/USNTDP/CHL, He's a clear 1st round pick. i said that pre-draft, this kid as 1st pairing potential, Dman who can do it all. Add the fact that he's late birthday, 7 days and he would have been a 2020 draft, that skillset and physical attributes is no joke for his age.
I like that he is physical force that can skate. I watched some video and looks like he got skills as well but lets see how that translates to the NCAA level.
Definitely a confident kid. Hate to make the Subban comparison but this pick reminds of me of Subban.
lol the second i saw the kid, his skating immidiately reminded me of young subban, strong edge, lateral movement.
He is a much better skater than Subban as Struble would easily beat PK in a foot race. Subban has great edges and balance but he is below average in terms of speed.
