[Sandman]

Is it me, or did he look unhappy to be drafted by Calgary?

Either way, good pick.

Yeah not thrilled.

He doesn’t look like a poor skater from clips I have seen. Seems there are conflicting reports about his skating. However his iq and playmaking seem to be a consensus. He’s not looking like a top line option unless he really pops in his development yet he still looks like he could be a top six player. Hopefully he sticks at center.

He also scored at basically the same pace as Catton from January on--and he didn't play with Cristall.

This kid has talent and plays his best when the games matter most.

Getting a winger is ok. But someday they may want to get an actual center.

Great pick! Glad he was available! Conman has washed away his E=NG sins.

Not just you, he did not look particularly enthused at all but who knows maybe that's just how the kid is.

Just a small town kid who’s soft spoken and not used to the spotlight. Nothing to see.

Here we go with the bull####.

At the combine, Reschny was measured at 5'10.75", and 180lbs.

Sounds like you got a case of the sads. My belief that Reschny is a center balances your winger belief out. Too short for the NHL is funny. Who did you want them to pick there?

[dammage79]

Reschny will be a center. That's not a debate.

Makes it sound like they would have taken him at #16. So in the end the pick difference didn't matter anyway. Thank you New Jersey!... That unfortunate Jack Hughes injury really helped us out.

Still has Oiler fan stink on him. When he sees how much better Calgary is he will be fine.

thankfully they drafted a center about 20 minutes ago so you have nothing to worry about.
