he was the safe pick - what was risky at 18?

Story is a fantastic profile of Reschny. If you don't have access to the Athletic:

“I will say this: I don’t know if a player in our league had a better second half than him. (And) I know there’s not one player that I can think of who played better in the playoffs,” [Royals' coach James] Patrick said. “He put this team on his back and his playmaking and compete were elite.”

Ha... I guess that's the quote in the tweet.

I don’t believe they do, but could be mistaken.
I thought it was pure age of draft get you to age 22 regardless now, thus evens things out.

There is a lot of time to be Debbie Downers. Too much of it on this board lately. Let the draft thread be fun

He plays that now. Not very many effective sub six foot c’s at the nhl level. Usually they are the elite players. Unless he’s a star player at the nhl level he will likely get shifted over.

Looks like he really... nose... the game.

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

The best nhl centre in the 21st century was drafted at the same height.

Get over it.

Cole also ranked 10th in hockey sense at Upside

Oh please, like that's what I was doing. Maybe you guys need a downer.

[trackercowe]

Craig Button had the Flames taking Reschny at #18... Nilson at #32. Let's see if he gets both right.

Yeah, 25 points in 11 playoff games. Increase production in the playoffs is unusual. But to that extent? Crazy.

Careful Paulie, someone might label you a "debbie downer", and call your post "bulls**t".
