That being said, I think it ultimately comes down to what attributes you value most, i.e. what kind of player you think your team desperately needs. I was trying to be a lil flippant cause jonas Are you suggesting we should draft based on need then? Because I'll remind you that not observing the holy doctrine of BPA is of the highest form of heresy and you will be admonished. 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skating is super critical in today's league C. I'm a Broberg guy He's a great straight-line skater, but, imo, his lateral mobility leaves something to be desired. What makes the Hughes brothers such great skaters is their edges. They're not necessarily burners, but they don't need to be burners because their quickness, agility, elusiveness means they're going to be driving play and leading you around all over the ice, in all three zones.

Think ppl are just bitching cause he hasn’t put up huge stats but that’s just nonsense , some guys as they mentioned pick up big numbers and then don’t give a s*** and don’t play hard , this kid is relentless and always attacks the puck(like datsyuk did) And has a ton of skill and offensive upside, I got no doubt in my mind his numbers will come Edited June 13, 2019 by nyqvististhefuture 1 Wheelchairsuperhero reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kipwinger 8,518 Report post Posted June 13, 2019 What's not to like about drafting a guy who's been compared to Oscar Klefbom with the 6th pick? I mean, that doesn't seem like a waste at all.

If your ceiling is "mobile shutdown defender with limited offensive upside" you probably shouldn't be drafted in the Top 10. But what do I know?
