I'm pretty shocked at the support Klimchuk is getting. If there wasn't an emotional attachment to that pick... I don't believe he'd be getting votes until the late teens. His offense seemed to stall in major junior after his draft year, he's had injury problems, and his offense was almost non-existant last year at the AHL level. I see Klimchuk's ceiling as being a Stephane Yelle type, which would be fantastic, but there are other players on the list with higher ceilings than a 3rd line shutdown winger.
Have we really soured so much on McDonald? I'm only 1 of 2 votes for him... maybe I'm crazy and should be ignored?!
