one of the big differences between hurley and mittelstadt, besides the rounds they were selected in, is their frames...mittelstadt has an nhl ready frame where as hurley didn't and still doesn't
- Michael Pachla

Im going to somewhat disagree. The combine proved that Mittlestadt is not up to par physically and needs to commit to that area. Hurley is 6'2 almost 200 lbs currently. They arent too far off. I think Mittlestadt is the superior prospect tho dont get me wrong. My main point is that im a bit nervous about his transition into college.

Fair
I'm by no means saying he will bust like Hurley
But I'm always weary of drafting kids outta high school

How do u accurately evaluate guys like him when he's so much better than his competition?
Same reason I was nervous about trading up for Makar...

Yeah, these guy look super talented
But I wanna see how he does against his peers next year
That'll tell us a lot

So is this chick we drafted going to be good or no?

Tolvanen going at 30 was a bit of a shock to me honestly

Idk im just nervous. I thought Tippett was a cant miss prospect but most feel Mittlestadt was good value. Im optimistic but not super comfortable with it. Cant get over the high school thing and the combine

I know this isn't really relatable, but I was incredibly late developing as far as strength. I was decent as an athlete, but didn't developed any muscle until later

I could barely bench 135 in high school, and was up to over 200 a year later without ever really working out regularly. I just filled out

Did he have shoulder surgery as an excuse too?
