I agree the fact he’s playing college hockey is a bonus for me. Guy seems all business and I like the line that he’ll do everything he can to get better.
After the top 5 or so, the whole board was a blender. Which bodes well given the reputation as a deep draft.
If we found a top 4 RHD we’ll be very happy with the pick even if a guy or two below puts up bigger numbers.
I feel a little vindicated liking the guy taken by one of the best C’s of all time. I did have a sinking suspicion someone’d reach for him.
He’s going to be valuable whether he reaches his ceiling or not.
