I'd be surprised. From my viewings, Ruzicka is big but slow, has poor defensive instincts, and floats. His overager OHL numbers were very unimpressive.
I'll take the established pro in Gawdin over the unconvincing OHL guy 10 times out of 10. Gawdin put up 0.6 P/GP in his first-year pro season last year at age 21. How is that not more impressive or indicative of impressive potential? That's more than what Phillips did.
