[Jacko95]

Well here comes another Giant for us. Sosunov. 6'8 230lbs at 18 years of age. Crazy

 

[AimForTopCheddar]

LHD version of Sustr lol? One pick left, want a offensively talented RHD or F.

We have #206 and #208

Gotta get us another PAlat here please. That would be awesome.

All those picks with not that much upside, but as a reminder, Palat wasn't exactly considered a high upside project either. neither was Johnson really.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Time to pick up another Palat. Do it Murray!

 

[Stormbreaker]

More on the Russian Giant from BP

 

[MrClutch86]

How is Kuznetsov still left?

Midgets at forward, NBA players on the back end

Yeah not really, I would rather classify Sustr as a giant midget

 

[The Gongshow]

Are our other D prospects big too? It wouldn't be hard compared to Johnson, Kucherov, Drouin etc etc our current D roster is pretty big so i'm curious if the prospects are as well

 

[Oxbow Lakes]

Minnesota drafted Sokolov

 

[Jacko95]

MAsin, Blujus, McLeod and Spencer are all at least 6'2

 

[Jacko95]
