Really liked what I saw from McLeod tonight. Sure there's some work left to be done on his development but there's a lot there to like.
A few things I seen of Nylander bugged me. Mostly when he went into the corners tonight. Instead of trying to gain position by using the bodt, he rolled off and flailed his stick in the general direction of where the pucks was. Making it really easy to reverse the puck for the Canadian player. For me a little more effort would be nice. If that's a consistent knock on him I'd rather take Mcleod. He went in and fought for pucks tonight.
Jost reminds me of a bigger Tyler Ennis. Lots of skill and a dog on the puck. I can see why he's getting some hype. Still not sure he crawls into the top ten.
If the Flames were to pick one of Fitzpatrick or Gustavsson, who do they take? They both look good despite the score tonight.
