If we end up drafting in the 6-8 range, I would love to grab Virtanen. Big power forward with a mean streak? Yes please!

I have little doubt that Reinhart will be the best forward in this draft and we wont have a chance at him. It will be Bennett, Dal Cole or Draisaitl almost for sure and hopefully in that order.

Draisaitl has the ability take over a hockey game. I'm not sure the same can be said for Dal Colle.

I know nothing about any of these players. So whoever CP proclaims is the greatest, that's who I want.

I think we should draft a kid playing high school hockey in Quebec.

I actually like the idea of Draisaitl... I think the fact that he couldn't 'one-man army' the Germans to any relevant standings in the WJC have people souring one him.

Only Vulcan would actually consider that a post worth thanking.

Where did all this Virtanen love come from all of the sudden? He's listed as going anywhere from 6th-11th. Sorry, but any one of Ekblad, Reinhart, Bennett, Dal Colle, and Draisaitl would be an upgrade over the kid.

As someone pointed out earlier, think of Horvat being taken when Monahan is available.

I would like to take Fleury if we are 6+ on the drafting. If none of those centers are available, pick Fleury. Second best D man after Ekblad in this draft.

I think Virtanen is very underrated player. He has a release that is better than most NHL players already. He is very strong on the boards and has elite speed, and is just a pure goal scorer. Virtanen's skill set will translate perfectly to the NHL.

NHL comparison Jeff Carter with a better skating ability. That's not a knock on Jeff Carter's skating ability. It's just Virtanen's skating is just that good.

If Reinhart and Bennett are gone by the time we pick, I would love to snag Virtanen.

I've heard the same. I also heard one is a natural left and the other right.
