Well then, I stand corrected. Let's talk about Brady Tkachuck then.

Out of curiosity what is it, other than NHLE, that has you and New Era convinced Brady Tkachuck is going to be a bust? I have yet to see a 2018 draft ranking that has him lower than 6. Most have him at 3, or 4. And I believe (could be wrong, don't care to spend much time looking) he is the top ranked NCAA draft eligible prospect.

In short, your position seems to be at odds with the vast majority of hockey writers/scouts who get paid to write and scout. I'm going to go out on a limb here, but they know more about hockey than you do. It would be interesting to see if you can find one writer/scout to support your Brady Tkachuck will be a bust theory. If you can show me one, I'll show you eight stating he's top 5, if not top 3. Then again, perhaps every player after 2 or 3 will be a 'bust' at this years draft.

Or better yet, maybe you can write your own scouting report detailing Brady Tkachuck's short comings. You're 'Brady Smith' argument is a little flimsy, you could use some more amo.
