I went with Peca but ask me in an hour and I'll pick Richard or Sergeyev or...

 

[Caser]

Sergeev again

 

[Steazy Doo]

I went with Tanner the Manor.

I did not expect Richard run away with it like this.

 

[HoseEmDown]

I think Richard will be a good AHLer and get some NHL games in but don't see him as a top 6 in the NHL and not sure he can play a bottom 6 role. Think Paquette has the better NHL potential with his style of play.

He definitely should be able to play a bottom-6 role; he has very good defensive game and lots of grit in his game. He's not big but he can play the body. He has potential to be very good 3rd liner.

Tanner "the tongued, silly selfie-taking machine" Richard!

At least one of these nicknames is gonna stick eventually...
