fans need to stop shitting on Korshkov and realize that several guys picked immediately after him are worse prospects: Benson, Peeke, Laberge, Mascherin, Morrison, Bastian and others. Cherry picking midget Debrincat who 7 other teams also passed on and short but successful goalie Carter Hart who 17 other teams passed on before Philly was desperate and yes, in hindight, smart enough to pick him, is easy at this point. When a team picks a big winger who dominated on the Russian World Junior team, they know they are going to have to wait for him to develop! Korshkov is as good as or better than first round picks Logan Brown, Logan Stanley, McLeod, Bellows, Rubstov, Tufte and Frederic in the same Draft. The Draft is NOT an exact science. Frankly, 2016 was NOT a strong Draft overall. Joey Anderson was picked 73rd in that Draft by the Devils and many fans are comfortable with him developing on the Marlies this year. Zach Hyman was picked by Florida in 2010 and finally took until his 3rd season with the Leafs in 2017-18 to actually make an impact!
