tomh009 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Commandant's description looks better than a waste of a pick. Of course he's just a 18yo prospect, we don't know yet how he will develop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whose reference is that, cause I can find my own and four others that show a guy with NHL potential. Of course its a fourth round pick so odds are against him (as they are all 4th rounders) but he was good value at the spot IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Though I didn’t love their other picks, that’s not a huge surprise given how late most of them were (Blake Biondi is kind of interesting and ranked firmly in my top 100). The Mysak and Farrell picks were big." Wheeler the athletic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
