He was rated as the top skater in the draft by Craig Button

ISS has his skating ability as 5 out 5

Go back to last year, Button said Matthews had the best shot of them all.. Laine heard that and was quoted as saying "wut?"

His 5on5 numbers are terrible. Glass has I think the best 5on5 in this draft class.

You mean Schneider right?

Kessel with a goal When he watches porn he probably masturbates at the part when the pizza guy walks in, the fat bastard.

You mean Schneider right?

Yep

This Washington team has been playing with zero heart.
Shattenkirk is a prime example of why I never want an offensive defenseman, he has been brutal all playoffs.

Better then Nico and Necas?!?!?

Well he's improved this season. Maybe he got stronger and more power of late. Then it comes down to offensive creativity and hockey IQ upside. I like him. Saying he's a Bo clone isn't a slight at all. He might be bigger and faster too. Which is all good. No issues there. Only question left then is offensive upside.

But we won't know who the Stars and Avs will favor more to see who is left. They could take either Glass, Vilardi or Mittleatadt and pass on D prospects. They may even trade down.

You NEVER want an offensive D-man???????

Or you just don't want shattenkirk? which is more logical

He has been terrible imo

And someone is giving him 7x7 ?

Glass is great 5v5. As for Mittlestadt I'll let DCT answer you on that. He went into quite the lesson and tirade before. So don't want to take away his glory there

They were lucky they faced a soft team in round one otherwise they wouldhave been out then

Good catch. I never want an offensive defenseman who plays like Shattenkirk.

Has bettmanhatesus weighed in on this yet?

Also, great draft to poop the bed in.

Too many UFA's and RFA's

What are they going to do if the dart hits one of the top 4 guys taken?

They probably would have won the cup too had their first round matchup not tuckered them all out.
