I'm still laughing at the fact that Pettersson wasn't included in the "Top 10 drafted players to watch at World Juniors" article by NHL.com.

Comical, classic TSN.

 

Hart

Heiskanen

Klostin

Liljegren at 4 lol.

Mete

Mittelstadt

Oettinger

Steel

Tolvanen

Yamamoto

 

Apparently Kimelman is a 'draft expert' lol.....who's never heard of the SweHL.

 

Good players, but wouldn't take any of them over Pettersson - including Heiskanen.

So many nice passes from Pettersson mishandled by Nylander.

Nylander's goal was pure snipe though.   Great hands.   He is actually, in my opinion, more talented and more able to handle traffic than his over-hyped brother who I think will struggle over time.

Yeah, that goal was nice.    His brother just seems like the kind of guy who'll disappear in the playoffs.

I'm old enough to remember the complete meltdown of CDC when Benning took Pettersson in the draft. Good times.

Hate to say it but the Flames have drafted well... Just in this WJHC alone:

 

Dillon Dube - Canada (Captain)

Adam Fox - USA (A)

Adam Ruzicka - Slovakia

Linus Lindstrom - Sweden

Eetu Tuulola - Finland

Juuso Valimaki - Finland (Captain)

 

Personally, I've been impressed with Fox. Can't believe he went in round 3.

Why do you hate to say it?

 

Anyway, Fox is really small for a Dman and loses too many puck battles to be a legit NHL player unless he changes his game a bit....that is why he went in third round and was rated even lower.   Dube doesn't impress at all.  Ruzicka is intriguing and could be a nice find.   Valimaki is a longer shot but has some decent upside potential.
