Dammit Jim!
A homeless man's Kevin Hatcher?....both Kevin and Derian had the turning radius of the Titanic.....judging from limited viewing in the prospects games, surely Day has more mobility than that!

Sean Day is an incredible skater, I think it's the determination and compete level that scouts are unsure of.
IQ, but the biggest question really is his work ethic and commitment to get better. If he put in the same amount of work and dedication McLeod has since he got to Sauga he's still a top 15 pick. The things holding him back and killing his stock are as much off the ice as on it.

I hate this team
That could also lead him to being a steal for some team. If he was still there at Chicago's 2nd rounder, I would be ok with the Flyers taking a chance on him.
Did I see correctly that he is AHL eligible next year?

Agreed. I was replying to the inability to turn. He is apparently off the charts with size and skating but the rest needs work apparently. Underlying raw skill is certainly there though.
With his mobility but lack of hockey IQ (at the moment) ID put his comparison at David Tanabe. A guy that can just wow you with his skating but face palm at his decision making. A higher end comparison could be made for Brett Hedican. Get this guy in a good system with a good AHL coach and he could turn out to be a fine player.

I see him falling late into the 3rd round - Not a bad project for such pick.
I will say the Buffalo Sabres take him in the 3rd round. (I am going on odds here, they have 4 x 3rd rounders.

No, you didn't. He has to play in 4 junior seasons or be 20 to play in the AHL as a player who will be drafted out of the CHL. Has to play next season in the OHL or the NHL.That could also lead him to being a steal for some team. If he was still there at Chicago's 2nd rounder, I would be ok with the Flyers taking a chance on him.

Yeah, 3rd-5th round is my guess. Lots of intriguing upside as a big dman with a decent skill set who can really skate, but scouts will definitely be worried about his compete level and his minimal development over the past few years. He has a long, long way to go to become an NHLer, and has not been improving at the pace you'd like.

Was Kevin that bad of a skater? I know Derian was a terrible skater, but Kevin seemed ok early in his career.

I'm getting massive Luca Sbisa vibes
sbisa as a cheap 3rd pairing dman isn't that bad.

You're overrating other prospects, if your late 1st becomes Coburn you did a pretty good job.
If Day becomes Coburn, he is easily worth a first round pick (probably top 10) most players picked don't play as many games as Coburn does.
