I like him just fine, I would have preferred to trade down if possible and get a late 1st or early 2nd. If we could have done that then I would have went with Boqvist to replace the loss of Sergachev. I don't scout though, I only watch Hab prospects but the little I saw him I was very impressed. Taking Kotka worried me that we would repeat the Galchenyuk mistake although with him being much better defensively he would be used better then Galchenyuk.
But I like him a lot, just don't think he's looked that good at all when you factor in he's a 3rd OA in a sick draft and for the most part has been very sheltered. He's not been bad at all, I just find him to be hold on out there. I hated the idea of him being here, would much rather see him working on his skating, getting quicker, more explosive, stronger, filling out his frame while not in the crazed limelight of the Hab fans/media. I don't think delaying things a year would hurt him at all, but we'll see what rushing him does as I am sure he's making the team as I don't see CJ and MB messing with what's working.
I get the feeling you don't care for the player?
