But I do think that we may be real young on D with Guhle, Barron and Harris all on the team. Think Kulak may get offers for more money and term than fit in the rebuild.

Looking at this stats, I find it unsettling that his development arc has a decided shade of "Kotkaniemi" about it. Damn, you're scaring me!!!

I wouldn't sully him by mentioning him with Kotkanieni, I would say he'll probably be more like Pacioretty. We will love him when he's on, but hate him when he's off.

Obviously 3 teams saw something in Wright they didn't like. I like that Hughes didn't make the safe pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that Hughes didn't make the safe pick. I think it was the ceiling. Slafkovsky and Cooley both have higher ceilings according to nearly every draft report lately. I don’t know much about Nemec, admittedly. Everything about Wright was his floor seemed higher than everyone else, and he was the most complete player in the draft, but his ceiling was lower. It’s easier to teach a willing player to play defence than to is to teach a complete player to simply be better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHT120 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Wish there was somewhere that tracked the highest rated players yet to be drafted at each pick ... even TV folks don't seem to be doing it as I recall them doing previously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that Hughes didn't make the safe pick. I dont believe that was it. I think Hughes picked the rarer player. There arent many 6'4" 220 lbs wingers that can score 40 g, but there are lots of C's that are 6' 190lbs. The Habs have drafted a ton of C that size and they've all been busts. Plus they have Mysak and Kidney who are basically the same size. NJ didnt take him because they've drafted 3 C's in top 5 in the last few drafts so they took a dman. Arizona took Cooley because apparently he is nuts and wants to go there, but he does have family that lives there. I was wondering it Wright was going to drop to 5th, if the Kraken had taken the Chzech dman Jiric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportsnet saying he's the only potential franchise player in this year's draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
