Has the Pittsburgh fanbase figured out who they picked yet? I heard the fans at the draft were very upset they didn't hear the name being called out.

I'm sure that's the case. And look, I know the guy was drafted in the 7th round, but a 5'8" defenseman.
- mayorofangrytown


He's supposedly a wrecking ball on skates at around 190-200lbs. He's more than solid and still plays very aggressive, the opposite of how you'd expect someone his size to play.

He's a long-shot, but he's also supposedly a very good defender and pretty mobile. If he can handle being under-sized, he has a shot at being a bottom pairing guy.

Height doesn't bother me though. Players like Gerbe, Giona, St. Louis have all proven it's irrelevant. Yes, Pettersson is a D man, but theres some pretty smaller dmen in this league that have carved out nice careers for themselves.

He is literally Francis Boullion. If we just got a 20 year old Francis Boullion for free with a 7th round pick, I'm stoked.

Loved that study that was done on him. I think his success rate for where UFAs/traded players will land was 3%, which is worse than picking a team out of a hat.

Rosehill is here so we don't have to discuss who our worse player is. Nobody wants this debate.
