Damn thought Buium was the guy. Hope this kid pans out.

Interesting pick here. Why not Helenius?

Jett’s a cool ass name

I like Luchenko a lot. Kid has wheels for days. Great passer. But Im in shock they passed over Buium for him. Shocked.

Someone tell me how to feel!

Someone who knows, who is this

Oh man, Danny reach. He had better be right.

I am whelmed

The fact that he is 17 shows that we are really thinking long term which is nice to see imo
SadYotesFan
Can’t really make a judgement on this because I haven’t gone out and scouted these kids
Clearly they saw something if they took him over Helenius and Eiserman
Dustyprune
This kid was a monster in the combine, that’s all i know

But…we could have had Buium. I am always team Danny but what the fuck

Not a sexy pick but all things considered… he’s a center, he’s only 17, he lead his OHL team in points. Next will be a big year for him. I give the pick a B rating but that can always move up.

Oh here comes all of the professional scouts to whine and moan

I thought we were done taking the “undersized two way forward with all the intangibles”
Buium was there! He was yours… I know “time will tell” but this feels like Caufield-York all over again. But worse…

I can’t believe we passed on Buium

I guess the next Scott Laughton

I just looked up his pre draft rankings and his average rank on elite prospects is like 30th …
Wow thats a reach and super disappointing. The vast majority of scouts and outlets view him as a middle lineup player …
They better view this guy to have serious high end potential. Seems like they could have gotten Buium and then traded up if need be from 32 to get Luchanko.

Stop acting like analysts have a crystal ball

Having Buium and Eiserman both available to you and walking away with neither of them is hard to feel good about

Everyone saying “I trust Danny.” We said the same shit about Hextall and look how that ended. I’m skeptical about him now after that shit pick. Should’ve traded back 5 spots, get more picks and maybe another prospect, then pick the same guy. Big fumble.

So Buium falls into their laps, they don’t take him
Helenius, who’s only knock is he doesn’t have high end offensive potential, and they go and draft a different center..*who also doesn’t have high end offensive upside????*
Hoping this works out, but definitely the first move from Danny that I don’t love
I thought we were taking big swings here? Jett seems like a safe pick, at best.

One thing I don’t like about this, Helenius was one of the youngest players in Liiga, playing against men.
Jett is young too, but playing against boys
BothMyChinsAreSpicy
Seems more Scott Laughton than Claude Giroux. Hope we all look dumb in a few years
PwillyAlldilly
Did we just get like… Scott Laughton 2.0? I thought this guy was projected in mid 20s? I was legit hoping we’d get lucky and grab him with our later pick???
