Nope. Scouts raved about his interviews. He just is a not high IQ player and people question the offensive upside.

Remember another player ranked high and fell for reasons...Coots

Toronto's GM looks like a kid

Johansson was someone I legitimately had negative opinions about.
- Mononoke

He seems like a guy who is just meh. Doesn’t really excel at any facet of the game, nor stand out in any way.

Shanahan is superman, looked like dad with glasses then took them off to be super dbag

Couturier was an elite offensive talent in juniors

Coots had mono...

Shhh, let me dream dammit

I'm the one who has been dreaming since August lol. Trust me, when he goes to some team I hate, it'll be a knife in the gut for me.

St. Louis is taking Bokk...book it

Not for IQ reasons. He feel to #8 in a pretty good draft. He also wasn't a good skater. And he still blew Veleno out of the water offensively, despite being a more 2-way player.

O'Brien was my favorite player in the draft.

DAMN IT

Yes, ranked high...got mono and had questions about skating and fell

I didn't say same reasons...I said reasons. Point being sometimes player fall and can still be good, but in no way am I saying Veleno will.

Kukkanen clone. Why couldn’t the rangers draft him

I'm sort of surprised the Rags didn't trade picks for established players. They're going to be trash for a while.

Miller, Lundestrom or Bokk would have been a less surprising pick at #19, but who knows if they are gonna be better in 2024.

Still like Samuelsson. Would move up early in the 2nd if he's still available.

Trust the process?

Yeah the more I think about what I saw...Veleno could very well be the next Angelo Esposito

Ready for O'Brien to have a Frost level ascent in the NCAA's this year.

I guess McKenzie doesnt think too much of Berggren.

As far as a 2-way center goes, O'Brien excites me a lot more than Lundestrom. He has more puck skill and dynamic offense. O'Brien can absolutely play RW too. Certainly gives Frost the option to slide too.

Good, let him keep falling

He has him higher ranked than half the 1st round so far lol
