What I find most interesting about Dragicevic is that he has only been a defenceman for three years, so the fact that he already is good enough to potentially be a first-round pick speaks to his skillset. More time honing his craft in his own end and this could be quite a pick

Look, I already said yes to bonk.

But getting to say ” he got demolished by the dragon” when lukas smashes marchand is something I just can’t pass up.

All aboard.

Not enough BONK!

I think I’d take Dragicevic over Bonk, it seems like he has a higher ceiling

With his size, offensive numbers, and skating, I’d be surprised if he were still there at our pick. Good option for us if he is though!

>Having offensive abilities this good already is definitely impressive for a defenceman, but it is not enough to cover up his two major shortcomings: speed and defensive ability. One common complaint that scouts have of his mobility is how he can be sluggish in his strides and acceleration, which leaves him susceptible to being a prime target for opponents to forecheck and bait him into forcing a turnover. It also plays a factor in his prowess in his own end currently being inconsistent as Dragicevic has a habit of reaching for the puck carrier and leaving himself susceptible to getting caught flat-footed on the shutdown attempt.
The defensive play could be improved and likely attributed to his inexperience in the position but combined with the footspeed issue gives me pause

Adam Fantilli is a centre the Leafs may select at 28th overall.

I drafted him in NHL 23 and he was a solid bottom 4 D. So it’s a slam dunk.

Interesting to see the scouting reports but I can’t be bothered to get excited about who we’re going to pick at 28th because I highly doubt we will pick at 28.

Don’t target a position, target talent.

He’s very raw and questionable in his own end. Still an interesting long term prospect though
