Theoretically he would be a better player after that?

No COVID and a 30-day bag skate would prevent this....

Just going back to 2015...At 15, you could have had:

 

-Barzal, Connor or Chabot

-Chychrun (McAvoy at 14)

-Valimaki or Thomas

-K'andre Miller (Farabee at 14)

-Caufield, Newhook, Krebs

-Guhle, Mercer, Schneider

 

Do those mid teen picks appear to be throw aways?

Not at all what I said. Lekkerimakki is the bust.  I’d be happy to be proven wrong, but I’ve seen this player live and I don’t think he has enough speed or intangible play for the NHL. He may be effective enough with the offensive instinct and shot to project as a PP threat, but I don’t see much more here.

Meh, I'll wait to see when he's not recovering from mono or getting concussed before making any long term proclamations personally. But ok.
