Can someone talk us Wild fans off a cliff after this one?
I really liked him at the U18s, for whatever that's worth. He seems like a guy who needs to add a lot of strength and could massively benefit from it. Far too easy to push around physically. But he's got a decent frame to fill out, he moves really well, positionally he's really good and he makes a good first pass, and has some PP upside when given the opportunity too.
I liked him as an earlier 2nd round guy, but he's got a lot of upside if he gets stronger and adapts to the NA game well. Surprised me that he went as high as he did, but he's got the upside to justify it and it really wasn't
that crazy a reach. He's a little bit like Jacob Larsson imo. Quieter player who is just really effective.
