Just thought I'd mention that on the radio this morning Pierre McGuire seemed to imply that Ottawa would be better off taking Couturier or Landeskog as opposed to RNH. He said to look at each season as a whole, and cited the Canadian Junior camp as a note in favor of Couturier, as well as mentioning he thought that Landeskog was the best in the OHL before he got injured.
I think he was getting at people jumping on the RNH bandwagon and getting a head of themselves because of his recent hot streak, and talked about his struggles earlier in the season.
Great for him.
But drafting is based more on projection than how X player did in development camp and how Y player did during smaller stretches of any given year.
I agree that Lando and SC are easily much more NHL ready and will both play in the NHL next year. But I still think that as far as potential goes, RNH has the highest of any player in this draft.
Ottawa would be a good fit for him, but I truly hope he doesn't go there. If he does, that would be great though because I see a ton of Ottawa fans chirping him constantly around here. Would love to see them change their tune in a year or two, or less.
