The kids edge work is amazing. Such an underrated skill. You watch the videos and his feet are always turning to his advantage to get around defenders. He'll be hard to get off the puck when he packs on some more muscle

So sick he's such a sedin fan. Born in the same town as edler I think. Been watching a couple YouTube videos jb was right the van has a slick shot and is definitely not afraid to drive the puck to the net.

I wasn't trying to hate on the guy. All I was saying is don't just pencil him into the top 6. All I was trying to say is he's a free asset and that's the biggest reason he has so much buzz. That powerplay is deadly and put up a ton of points. Like I said not knocking the guy, he could for sure be an nhler. Great shot, strong on the puck, good on the boards. Sikura is the best player on northeastern if you ask me.

Slow down on the Reece top 6 talk. I've watched a handful of gaudettes games and yeah Reece is good but he's also a senior playing with 2 pretty solid line mates. Reece plays an NHL style game and he's a free prospect, that's why he's such a hot commodity, mostly because he's free. Definitely with you on the gaunce grandlund baertchi being part of the future. I think grandlund sticks around but I could see gaunce and baertchi gone, not that soon but 3 4 years down the road I wouldn't be surprised at all if they were gone

Just love how burrows went from buyout material last year into this.

He was actually one of the dmen that really stood out to me in that game. If he's ranked early-mid 2nd that would be awesome if snagged him. He's big and made a lot of fast plays with the puck. Not so much fast as in panicking but quick good plays. I think I remember him getting around the ice pretty quickly as well. He'd be a hell of a good 2nd round snag

Juolevi is a year younger the MT as well. Let's not forget that little detail as well. Older stronger more mature....whatever. Yes dmen take longer to develop so we can't pass judgement till then but let's not forget the oj is a year younger then mt as well. I know it's not a major major deal but should be kept in consideration

He had a couple really nice take aways which is one underrated talent the kid has. Don't worry about the shot totals. Like I said above he just needs to work on his shot a bit get a bit more accuracy. It would be nice if he played with a better centre, not just some defensive scrub. Cassels is pretty bad. He literally creates nothing and his turnover rate must be so high. I must have screamed "feed him" iunno how many times breaking out and cassels would with make a turnover or panic and just dump it in virt don't hit anymore (well nothing remotely close to last year) it's stupid I see the puck get dumped into the zone and I'm waiting to see virt come into the screen to flatten someone and nothing....

I watched the game tonight too. I thought virtanen looked fine. Cassels is the problem. Omg he is terrible I had high hopes for that guy. Unrealistic hopes I guess. Funkys right about the stream tho. Hand to focus sometimes. Virt needs to work on his shot big time in the off season. If it was just a little more accurate he'd have a ton more goals. So many shots over the net (not so much tonight just what I've noticed watching him)

Can't have enough stud dmen. They just dominate the game. We've never had that top flight 30 minute a night defencemen. I hope we snag liljegren if we are picking 3 or later. I know we're hurting for offence but a true top pairing minute munchers hides so many flaws in your team.

Can't we just be greedy and get lucky once?! Win the lotto take Patrick and trade tanev to Toronto for whatever package including their 1st and take foote. Patrick, boeser, horvat, virtanen up front with oj and foote on the back end is a solid group to lead the next wave. The depth is getting there with jb's solid drafting but that one stud to lead the fellas would be so huge

It always makes me laugh when I hear comments like "well Patrick would have went 5th last year draft". You hear this crap every year Matthews might have went 4th behind strome, ekblad would have went 5th blah blah blah. Guy put up 100 points in the dub last year in a draft year......if we got a stud like this rebuild over time to get to business

1. Barkov 2. Jones 3. Mack 4. Risto 5. Monahan 6. Bo 7. Drouin 8. Wennberg 9. Domi 10. Lindholm love bo and maybe I got my homer glasses on but I see 5-8 interchangeable as well as 1-3. What a sneaky stud draft tho lots of good names left off too. Some defencemen who might come into their own and crack the list

I know he didn't dominate last night but I've seen foote play a handful of times and if we stay in playoff contention and picking in the teens I pray he falls to us. The guys a beast. I don't see any weaknesses in his game and he plays a pro style that would translate well. A potential foote/oj top paring could be our version of weber/suter playing 30 minutes a night dominating both ends

UND had a legendary coach who recruited Brock but left UND to coach the Flyers. Buddy prolly just forgot that Dave Hakstol left UND to coach in show

Man this virtanen hate is getting ridiculous give the kid a god damn chance to develop and figure it out. What's with all the hate that we picked jake at 6.....he was ranked 6 to 10 on almost every single draft rankings. If each and every one of us didn't piss and moan about passing on local talent like lucic and Gallagher jb wouldn't even had taken him. This town would have killed the gm if we passed out on a local kid in our range. Ask yourself why do you honestly think jb was trying so hard to move up to number 1 that year to take reinhart? Because he prolly didn't want to draft jake and saw another local kid.

This times 10

Instead of us worrying about why we didn't draft tkachuck....lets just sign what he's most likely to become......kyle okposo!

This kids upside is ridiculous imo. Smooth skater, good first pass, good vision, drives the play, can get the wrist shot through, good size and still growing (apparently) People use olli maata as a comparison which i think is a total cop out and just crap. Hes going to get bigger and stronger for obvious reasons. If he grows a bit more and gets faster i can see him having a Pietrangelo upside. If his shot gets harder i can see an ekman-larson upside. If all goes the same i can see him projecting to a hampus lindholm type player.

Mete is yhe same age and he is no slouch, pure offensive defensemen who lots had pegged to go early 2nd. Whos to say hunter wanted him on thr 2nd unit sp that would run through him as thr 1st unit ran through marner

How about leading the league in pp goals getting feed from 2 of the top 5 passers in the game

I was thinking him too but he was a 7th dmen that year and only pp specialist. I don't put too much emphasis in world junior tournies but that performance was beyond impressive for a guy wearing a bird cage

Pretty pumped about this pick, not gonna lie. Can anybody remember the last time a draft eligible defensemen dominated the world juniors like he did this past winter? I keep thinking back and i can't think of any that even come close

2 games is just dumb. Thr misconduct was enough

boeser gonna dangle werenski go bar down then point at conner
