Why we are assuming that we are picking at # 31 - the season hasn't even started
I wouldn't take a goalie in the 1st either, but people are throwing the word prodigy around with Spencer Knight. He has a serious chance at making the USA WJC team as a 17-year-old. He was their main goalie at this years U-18.I’m against taking a goalie in round 1.
But boy, Dustin Wolf to me is easily the best goalie in the draft. Had a tremendous rookie year in the WHL. I think by the end of the year, he’ll be ranked in round 1

I also don't know how accurate it is, but Knight is already 6'3, whereas Wolf is still listed at 6'0.
I meant more in how Knight has been highly hyped for 2 years (rare for a goalie) and is living up to expectations.Knight is a solid prospect as well. I think prodigy is pushing it a bit though. I think Wolf is the better goalie, though that’s more based on my viewings of Wolf, rather than what I have or haven’t seen of Knight.
Wolf is 6’0. If he hits one last growth spurt and can add another 1.5 inches over the next 11 months and get to the 6’1.5 to 6’2 range, there’s no doubt in my mind there will be first round talk for Wolf.
Knight is obviously already that the height, and even weight of the modern ideal goalie. So he has the edge there.
He's Julius Honka's younger brother and is a RHD.Is he and RHD?
Yes he is. A very skilled offensive dman who's done very well internationally for Finland and in Liiga.Is he and RHD?
It's a joke.Why we are assuming that we are picking at # 31 - the season hasn't even started
will have to watch him this seasonYes he is. A very skilled offensive dman who's done very well internationally for Finland and in Liiga.
Hughes with Vancouver's pick that they trade to is for taking on Tanev's contract and Mikko Kokkonen at 31.
Why not? It's win/win.Why we are assuming that we are picking at # 31 - the season hasn't even started
The city may have descended into something that resembles Escape by New York by then.If we’re drafting 31, I still don’t think I’d be sober by the time we made that selection
"Who?! Ah, who even cares - WE'RE CHAMPIONS!"If we’re drafting 31, I still don’t think I’d be sober by the time we made that selection
I don't believe you.
Nope, not trolling. It could be part of a larger deal I suppose; I am speculating about late June 2019.You can't possibly be doing anything beyond trolling, if you think Vancouver would need to give us their first to take Tanev.

NoA larger deal, where Vancouver sends first overall AND Tanev to us? Are we sending them Matthews and Rielly?
