But was he ranked above where they drafted him?

Withholding judgement until I see Mark from Saskatoon’s rankings he compiled in his basement

 

[Trizz617]

Solid pick

 

[ON3M4N]

No video, but they had a graphic for him, so he must be good.

EP had him ranked 58th so there should unqualified and unrequited celebration over this pick.

Sounds like we just made the greatest pick ever, Sweeney is the smartest man in the room!

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Hendrickson exhibits a combination of passing skill and lane creation in all three zones. He hooks pucks around sticks, slips them under, and sauces them over sticks with no wind up, even off the backhand. But he doesn’t just take open lanes; he creates them with multiple layers of deception. He slows down and angles away from his eventual target, baiting the defender. The second they pivot or reach, he passes. -

NHL blood lines

 

[McGarnagle]

Someone on the prospects board posted about him before the draft that he wasn't a top end talent but has the all-around skills to be a very good 4th liner. For a 4th round pick, alright.

yet another sign of how old I`m getting

 

[FrankerC]

Kid can really play offense - has a hockey bloodline. Could be a good future 3rd-4th line player. Welcome aboard!

 

[NDiesel]

Is he a C or a Wing? Pretty great job adding two big bodied Cs if the listing i am looking at is correct.

The Flyers took Mike Knuble's son earlier

Center

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Ranked at the bottom of the second round. All the other teams smart enough to pass on him. Sweeney gets duped into biting on him in the fourth.

What a moran

Consider me completely surprised that this thread isn't as busy as the other one, singing Sweeneys praises for drafting a guy ranked higher instead of slamming him for reaching.

it's almost like some people come here purely for the negativity

I said in another thread I loved the pick. Going the USA route which I like. I like the Swedes too.

All in good fun Lou...the fact they took two big bodied guys and potential centers (although I have seen this guy listed LW a few times) is good enough for me.
