More from Upside's E-Mac on why he loved this young gun - this was pre-draft commentary on differences between his and Bob McKenzie's rankings:

(well, we got him in the 3rd!)

"#26 (Bob – 66) – Aidar Suniev - I get that Suniev could be 2nd round but 3rd – no way. Suniev just has too many high-end qualities to not be at least 2nd round if not late 1st – Results, shot, one-timer, finish, creativity, passing, puck protection, forecheck and compete level. Critics point to his skating as his major flaw. While I agree that his acceleration could use some work, his top speed is satisfactory enough for a guy that is 6’2, 192 to succeed in the NHL."
