Awesome! Literally the best guy left on my board. I think he's the next Panarin and isn't far off from the top 3 in terms of upside.

Disagree. He's a high floor, high ceiling type. He was physically underdeveloped for the league he played in but he's gained a lot of strength this offseason and has pretty much put to bed his biggest question mark. Perfetti was the boom-bust guy in the top 10.

Want him or Perfetti. Both are dynamic offensive catalysts. Looking forward to watching him play.

Detroit vs. Everybody
You better get to scrubbing their bud. There’s a lot of “Holtz” that need to be turned to “Raymond” in your post history

This is a great choice, he has massive homerun potential. He is a play driver and playmaker, we need a guy like him and we need his right-handed shot.
We also need to never doubt the connections of Hakan. Dipping into the Frolunda well. His finger prints are everywhere on the last two years.

Do we really want Gus Nyquist with the 4th overall pick though?
I don't see him being a middle six winger. I think with Raymond it'll be top line winger or bust. If he flourishes he'll be an all star. If he doesn't flourish I don't see his skillset allowing him to convert to a 3rd liner.

Jersey ads are a disgrace
Can't believe we took the two guys I really wanted two years in a row. Seider and Raymond are two players with homerun potential. I'm very happy right now.
Zadina and Raymond on the same line could be filthy

Crashes the Crease
My impression is that Raymond's game is more well-rounded than that of the other forwards who were in the conversation for Detroit and I think he's got as much upside as anyone else who was still on the board. What'll be interesting I think is seeing how fast he develops, especially with the pandemic. Somebody else already mentioned here, he's appears to have just come online for the SHL.
This was the guy I wanted at #4. Just seems the best fit with the pieces and prospects in the system and probably the 4th best player too. If the MLB line stays together, Zadina and Raymond could yet make a 2nd line center out of either Ras or Veleno, and thats assuming the next two years we pick d-men.

Can't help but feel like I had a similar feeling in 2018.
In 2018, I wasn't sure who I wanted, but as soon as we passed on Hughes and he went right after us, I felt like we missed out.
This time, I wasn't sure who i wanted... but as soon as we took Raymond, I have the feeling that we got "Hughes". We got the guy that's a difference maker

Agree, Perfetti gets knocked off his skates too often, could wind up a bust in a league that's more physical.
5 - 7 also went with the safe picks (Holtz at 7). Let;s see where Perfetti winds up....
