I think he'll definitely be better than Hall and Yakupov. He reminds me of Seguin, but with elite skating ability. He'll be the most entertaining player, and he's not soft.
I'm starting to believe Jones will be first overall, though. Still, if we do finish last (  ), odds are we wouldn't pick first anyway.
The top 4 for this years draft is off the charts. I might be tempted to take Drouin first if we didn't already have Sven and Gaudreau.
And if we're bad this year, we'll likely be bad next year. For the 2014 draft, Sam Reinhart plays a similar game to RNH, and Aaron Ekblad is already a man amongst boys. |
I wonder if this is a year where a team could have the first pick overall, and trade down a pick or two, pick another pick or two, and still get the player they genuinely wanted.
Sam Reinhart is already in his third year of junior (2nd full year), and he still won't be drafted until 2014. That's a lot of miles on bus. (He's probably wishing he could get drafted this year
)
