Seannnp Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 7 minutes ago, Baggins said: That's all well and good but those video highlights, pointing out his skating, are from this season. If that's his 'vastly improved' skating just how slow was he two - three years ago? The knock on Boeser was his skating. It has improved but nobody is calling Boeser fast. If you turn the draft rankings in that video into 'consensus' he ranks 19th. Trade down? On a few other forums, there are some that believe he is a sure-fire top 10 talent. Others believe he could go as high as 5. Personally dont see it, but speaks volumes to his potential and the end result after a solid development journey. Wood or Reinbacher for me unless Alvin thinks ASP is the 2nd coming of Hughes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who has him as a sure fire top 10? I take it by "forums" you mean "fans". Personally I don't put much faith in that. Fans wanted Glass or Vilardi when we took Pettersson. Truthfully I don't really care who they pick. I'm not a scout, and as seen above, even those who create draft rankings don't exactly agree. But if given the choice with a high pick, I'd take a good skater that needs to fill out his frame over a mediocre skater with good size. My guess is they'll either pick a d-man or a good skating forward with solid two way play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benson vs Schroeder… both undersized… other similarities i fail to see 2nd in whl in points for draft eligible players… one of the top defensive forwards.
