I wouldn't be surprised to see him on the Flames roster for next season He'll probably be a decent NHLer, but again not even close to the best player. LIkely the same will be about Makar... He's probably not going to be a bust, but will he be the best D to come out of the draft...Better than the centers that will still be available at 5. I doubt it.....

Glass has a higher starting point and same goes for him. Also wouldn't mind Necas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Vilardis skating is a bit rougher, I find his other skill set will help translate his below average skating to the NHL level. Picking so high makes me want to go the safe route (glass/vilardi/hesk).... Necas, Makar and Liljegren scare me for that reason but I'd be happy with whoever we get honestly.

Any one of them could easily be the best player of the draft or certainly where we're picking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good summary of his skating: http://thehockeywriters.com/cody-glass-2017-nhl-draft-prospect-profile/ Quote Outside of the physical elements, the skills Glass brings to the table are impressive. He has excellent vision and offensive creativity and can thread a pass to the crease, dangle the puck to attract defenders and find the open winger for the shot on goal. Glass’ skating is a bit awkward, but he has good speed and rarely gets beat. It is easy to see, with some work, Glass being one of the quicker skaters on his NHL team. He should have potted even more goals during his Sophomore season. Glass is a pass-first center but has a dangerous shot that is not uncorked as often as it could or should be. That said, his playmaking skills are excellent, so it’s a minor quibble that he likely grows out of with further seasoning in the WHL. I imagine he'll probably fall somewhere in the 200-210lb range when mature. Edited May 11, 2017 by J.R. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me think that this are their top 3: Mittlestadt / Liljegren / Makar What do Glass and Vilardi classify as? I think Glass especially could be categorized as a play making C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
