After watching him today and keeping a close eye on his progress this season, I'm beginning to really like this pick. Pospisil is a gamer in every sense of the word. I was very worried by his huge PIM numbers in his draft year, but he's no goon. He can skate very well, has good vision, and a great shot. He's also tremendous with his physicality -- he threw a gorgeous hip-check today.

Think this has a chance to be a great pick if Pospisil continues to progress. And I'll gladly own my early reaction if he does. He substantially reduced his PIM numbers last season, which is very encouraging, and he improved his offense.
