Seriously? I'm not sure he's in my top 15
Nurse made the highlight reel on TSN at the WJHC camp today.
For all the wrong reasons.
Connor McDavid made him look like Steve Staios off the rush today. Great start - schooled by a 16yr old.
Where would you rank Houck since you are quite familiar with him?
Around 10th, maybe a bit later. I'd say his absolute upside is a complementary 2nd liner/elite 3rd liner. He's a pretty safe bet imo though because he's got good hockey sense and is never shy about throwing his weight around. Because of his upside though, I rank him lower than a guy like Rajala who has shown he has what it takes to produce at a professional level
Edit: we should probably just move on to #3
What a bad set of forward prospects this team has. Like really really bad. Other than Lander who maybe projects to be a 3rd/4th liner, do any of them realistically project to get to the big leagues full time? Some might surprise and get there, but no one looks remotely close to helping the team in the next 2-3 years. I realize a large reason for this is that so all our early first rounders (and Eberle) are already in the show, but the picks outside of the first round...
(Nurse obviously)
