Ok merci

Zadina is the Kucherov of this draft.

Very well could be

It's not impossible, but I think it's less likely when he was consensus 3rd pick pretty much all year, Vs. a guy who jumped up 10 spots based on a U18 tournament and the position he plays
- Fredobbface

That's what scares me. The guy jumps 10 spots because he did well in a 2 weeks tournament vs. other 17 year olds?

Also...who the hell is Funky Cold?

He'll be the best of this draft according to ME

I think he'll certainly be the best at #3 and that's good enough for me

I have never seen any of these kids play, the only thing I know is they haven't had a quality center with size since the mid 90's and they seem incapable of trading for one.

nope, just my opinion

Damn !

Funky Cold Zadina

Did they really give him that nickname? Jesus...

Go with the best player available. If you think that guy is Kotkaniemi, fine. But just don't pick him up because of his position.

we will see but they've been whining about not being to draft a C early in the draft or being able to trade for one.

No excuse this time.

So Kotkaniemi?

J'espère qu'il est pas chicken... kot kot kot

The problem with Kotkaniemi is that he won't come here for at least 2 years. Depends if they want a player that they hope can make their roster next season or not.
- stinger67

probably a good thing. hopefully in 2 years there is a management team in place that doesn't just make poop up as they go along.

i think it's more complex than that. this team is is laughably thin at center all over the organization.

Other than Poehling that they drafted last year in the first round, they don't have anything decent at center.

Is Poehling projected to become a 2nd line center?

Too early to tell, hopefully but that would be his ceiling

No, he had a good U18 tournament so he's projected in the HHOF
