rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted June 28, 2014 No he's Helm 2.0 Cool. So we took a guy who has the upside of a career 3rd line center? For the record, Helm went in the 5th round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwedeLundin77 460 Report post Posted June 28, 2014 Seems like a solid pick that could have gone much sooner.... there were other options to pick, of course, but this kids seems like a real leader and hard working player in the ilk of Helm with scoring prowess. Tatar/Nyquist - Larkin - Mantha.... wooo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

According the Tsn guys, he's Darren Helm but with better scoring ability. And a heart and soul player. Seems like a solid choice to me. 2 krsmith17 and Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ekmanc 586 Report post Posted June 28, 2014 I wonder if any American team has more homegrown talent than Detroit does? Now I'm gonna be pessimistic for a bit but it and say that it would be nice if any of that homegrown talent would actually be great too and not just mediocre filler players.

rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted June 28, 2014 Could you be any more pessimistic if you tried really hard? I’m usually a pretty optimistic LGWer and stand sternly in the pro-Holland camp. Do you research. I’m think this pick was safe and boring. I understand you’re not going to get Stamkos at #15. But trade down a few spots grab Kempe and pick up that 2nd round pick you’re missing? Who knows, maybe that wasn’t an option. Whatever, time will tell. IN Kenny I trust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirtydangles 1,328 Report post Posted June 28, 2014 Could have traded back and still had Larkin. Fabbri seemed like the best C available. You can always use a C that scores 45 goals in his draft year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
