_SP_ 129 Report post Posted July 24, 2021 RE: SY "Which other goalie?" It may have also been just making a mockery of the fact that the media only focuses on potential first-round guys. It may have not been so much a tongue-in-cheek about Cossa being their guy, as much as "please name the player because we have 24 goalies on our list". I wish the Twitter video was through SY's actual answer. 2 Dabura and Scott R Lucidi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dude's been crazy-dominant at the CHL level. Everyone seems to believe 1) his strengths will translate to success at higher levels and 2) there aren't any notable downsides to his game. Also, everyone says his work ethic is off-the-charts. I can't say why that makes him better than Wallstedt in the front office's eyes, but I've got zero remorse about us not taking Wallstedt. Seems like a stud. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dabura 12,232 Report post Posted July 24, 2021 10 hours ago, kliq said: I like the pick. We needed a 1st pairing LD, and after the Seider pick a few years ago, I have faith in Yzermans ability to pick a high end D-man. Also, he was ranked 5th, and we took him 6th, so its not like its some kind of reach. Taking defensemen with prime picks is actually the one area where I'm not so sold on Yzerman, given his iffy record on that front when he was in Tampa. But, yeah, this isn't one of those picks that makes you scratch your head and wonder what they were thinking. Edvinsson was definitely going in the top 10. More than a few people felt he was worth taking in the top 5. 1 kliq reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, McKenzie's one of the reasons why this pick shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. I might be misremembering, but I think he had him as high as #2 at one point...? And, for anyone who doesn't know, McKenzie's lists are based solely on where his scout contacts have these players ranked – so, Edvinsson's very much been on actual NHL people's radars for a while now. 2 kliq and Scott R Lucidi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted July 24, 2021 I'm all about best player available, regardless of position, but this one is strange.

Dabura 12,232 Report post Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) I don't know anything about this player. People are always going on about how Yzerman found gems outside the 1st round when he was in Tampa. Clearly he's thinking this kid could be a gem. (Or, at the very least, he's high enough on him that he didn't want to risk losing him.) That has me pretty pumped.

_SP_ 129 Report post Posted July 24, 2021 Listen, there are many, many players going hundred + picks over the "consensus" draft boards. Don't read into it too much. There are MANY more top forwards than top D. You can trade a pick and a top 4 D for a top line forward. You have to give up the farm for a top D (see Seth Jones trade). Scoring forwards are a dime a dozen. Lock down D... good luck. It's going to cost you a gazillion dollars in FA or trades. 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
