What's good boys. Glad I'm here early. Now I know everyones cheesed at CHI getting the first overall pick, BUT, just keep in mind if your team is top 10, you'll still get a pretty skilled player either way đ That being said, going nuts for Bedard every day đ
Please please Sharks DO NOT PASS ON MICHKOV
Please no Barlow at 9 I think he can be there at 17 and if not then oh whale. Would rather have reinbacher
Reinbacher's injury is not serious, but they are unsure if he makes it back for this tournament. But yes, the Blues could definitely snag Reinbacher if he falls to them. They probably want one of him or Moore, perhaps throw Dvorsky in that group.
I donât understand why Fantilli is considered a consensus 2nd? His NCAA season is about as impressive as Carlssonâs SHL season and SHL playoffs. Besides, Carlsson severely outplayed Fantilli at the world juniors, and heâs currently outplaying Fantilli at the World Championships
im not sold on Fantilli being that 'no-brainer' 2nd overall lock, depends on what Anaheim wants..
Will Smith is the most overrated prospect in the draft, riding off his 20pts in the u18s. You know he wasnât even top 5 in points in the playoffs? All his points came from possibly the easiest group stage in history, Latvia, Norway, Switzerland, even Finland was terrible this year, none of them made the final 4
