I have to say, I'm really happy with this draft overall. There's a lot of potential here. I wouldn't say the first round were homeruns yet, but Demko in the second to me is a huge steal and the russian kid feels like a sleeper pick. I haven't been this excited for a 3rd round pick in like...forever.
6'7''.5 265lbs...holy...$#@7...
Anyways, let's not forget that Chara took many years before he became the force and Norris consideration D man that he is. I hope that this kid and the team has the patience for him to improve in North America for 4 or 5 years (while playing in the NHL).
