Starting to speed up a little now. Not a ton, just a little.

I think he'll go in the later rounds, but it actually wouldn't shock me if he goes undrafted, all things considered.
EDIT: Of course, the Devils have to go and do that.

Very weird he dropped as much as he did. Almost everyone had him going in the 1st round.

So y'all got time to watch some Scouching, or read some MLHS scouting profiles

Is it though? It feels like every year there's a high scoring defenseman who drops like this because scouts in the 2nd round want a Luke Schenn safe-type of defensive defenseman and guys like Girard and Kylington drop and then they're in the NHL two years later.
Nik said:
Even in those cases they only dropped to the 2nd round, but I guess there isn't much of a difference there. Girard also had size issues while Kylington playing in Sweden may have hurt him. Poirier's got pretty good size and point up a ton of points in the CHL.
But yeah I shouldn't be that surprised to see GMs pass on his style of play. I guess we'll have to check back on him vs. Topi in a few years.

I don't know. This feels like yet another year where Dubas is trying to outsmart the draft and I'm coming away from it with a similar feeling to what I've had in prior years.
I'd genuinely love for Dubas to shut me up with all the really good pros his drafts are producing but, well, you all see what the system looks like.

I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and only count the 2018 draft and onward as truly Dubas' drafts as he was clearly voted down on a few picks so I'm only going to hold him to what he has done. It really only gives him two years where he ran the show so far and there are some interesting players in the system but its way too early to say one way or the other on some of these guys.
Nik said:
I'm liking the look of his '19 draft a lot more than the '18. He obviously nailed his 1st picks in both, but I think Abramov and Abruzzese are the best of the bunch after that.

The Flyers jsut drafted the best name in the draft (for those of us that had a little Yiddish in our lives): Zayde Wisdom.

I mean, there are some people who try and give Dubas credit for every good pick the team made going back to William Nylander so I'm not sure the "You can only judge him since 2018" thing entirely works for me but either way I just personally haven't walked away from any of this team's drafts since he's been with the team thinking "Man, we really did that one."
Now, I'm no draft expert and I always can be proven wrong but that's just my feelings on things and, you know, not proven wrong yet.
