Deathrowe Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 1 hour ago, Alflives said: All highlights for Zegras are on the big ice, and he is very perimeter. Skill is certainly there, but what's his compete level? Hard to see that when there is so much room for him to be fancy. Zegras is considered very feisty for his size. If you look at his stat line you'll see he had 94 pims last year. 25 of which came from a really greasy play where he stuck his knee out on someone (not a huge fan of that)... All in all, I think I would prefer Boldy due to his size and his ability to strip people of the puck but Zegras is way up there for me as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team needs skill everywhere! The best skill is at the top of the draft. So no to two way dman Broberg. Take the most skilled player at 10! I’ve been wanting Boldy all year but Zegras is BPA if he’s available at our pick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike Zegras, Pettersson was almost always (except on PP) involved in the dirty areas. Broberg is a D man, who is big, skates like the wind, and is also involved. Zegras, is a perimiter player. I hope we don't take him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's common knowledge that the US development team this year is the deepest and most talented team they have ever produced. As many are saying, 5 of these player may be chosen within the top 10. However, I am wondering if Botton is a little to focused on that group and not giving enough credit to some of the other high-end talent in this draft e.g.) Dach, Cozens and Turcotte. All of which are C's. I just don't see these three falling out of the top 10. Regardless there will be someone dropping to us that we have higher in our rankings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herberts Vasiljevs Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 It'll be a crazy draft. Cozens and Turcotte are probably the most likely picks at 3 for Chicago but Button doesn't have the first one of those guys up until 10. This leads me to believe that we could possibly land somebody that we have at 4-6 in our rankings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
