Wanted Bouchard but he has risen a lot l, second choice was Woo.
Rasmus Dahlin if possible...
Steve Kournianos - The Draft Analyst - October 12th: "Alert and versatile forward with good speed and a wide range of attributes who has performed well beyond expectations as a 17-year-old playing key minutes in Finland’s top league. Kotkaniemi comes across as a smart, clean player with or without the puck and can play either center or wing. He is used on the penalty kill and in late-game situations, showing defensive prowess regardless of the job he’s assigned."
4 points in 4 games at Hlinka.
6'2"-6'3" 17 year old... (Could grow more)
For example Teräväinen had 0.45 PPG, Aho had 0.41 PPG, Kapanen had 0.3 and he has 0.49 PPG.
Why is Puljujärvi exemplified like he is a bust? The guy is 19 years old, and already an NHLer.and puljujarvi had a 0.56. its very hard to predict what those guys will become

How about a Centre, we already have some decent D in the system. Plus from what I am reading it is very likely we will be signing Ozhiganov.
TB has built such a strong team because they usually draft C and let them play wing if they can’t cut it there.
BPA available all day, every day!
The bigger reason for Tampa being so good is cause they hit homeruns on some picks in Kucherov (W), Vasivesky (G), Palat (W). None of whom are centers. They've also been good in other areas like contract management, pro-scouting, etc., etc.
