I see anthony Cirelli in the 80-90 the next level Some may disagree but that's where I see him as If it only took the 8th overall pick to do it I would do in the 2nd

Where are you pulling that prediction out of?

He's never shown that kind of offensive production at the lower levels.

If Eichel continues to make progress on his two hundred foot game could maybe even compare it to

Datsyuk-Zetterberg-Fillppula.

- Pegullaville




Perhaps. But Lundell is way better than Filppula even in his prime.

He's a safe pick that will be in the nhl for a long time I just question how much O game he will bring i see him as a 50-60 center that will win some Selkes just want a player with a higher upside

Yeah but I question if this is the last year for jack I would like a player that will hit a calling of a 1st or 2nd line if cozens becomes the number 1

If Eichel is traded it might be the best thing to happen to Buffalo. Your defense is more or less set it’s just the top-9 and goaltending that needs to be figured out. Eichel could bring back those pieces easily. But I have 10 million reasons why Eichel would prefer to stay and win in Buffalo.

I can’t remember which executive it was - a Brian Burke buddy, said that he would field a 12 man offense of centres. Why?
Because centres can move to the wing.



EDIT: I took Lundell with Anaheim in Jan Levine’s Mock Draft. I had set up a deal with Wild for 9OA and Dumba, get a top four righty and the guy they should draft. He’s a Murray type centre.
If Lundell has Rossi’s offense Lafreniere would take a seat behind him.
Lundell will be a very underrated. Basically everyone is saying Bergeron/Barkov and if you had the time of day to watch his scouting reports you would see why.

Haha yeah, the guy without a job. Also, Rossi is a center so...

I said he will likely win Some the nhl is not going to give it to the same player every year ..

Everyone knows Datsyuk should have won 2-3 more but the nhl looked at his stats

We’re just saying it’s premature to say that a prospect, even of Lundell’s defensive awareness, to hand him NHL hardware. Also, the only way Cirelli gets 90 points is if he gets 65 assists.. don’t see it

With more opportunities you will see how good Cirelli will become i said he was a hidden gem 2 years ago now I see him taking the next step to elite stats next year ..

If tampa is smart I would move on from stamkos when they win the cup

He got 18+ min a game on probably the best team he’ll play on.. and scored at .65 clip.. not saying it’s impossible but that’s a large jump. And especially when he hasn’t shown it at the lower levels

Anthony Cirelli 37 five on five points in 2019-20 is a breast

Reinhart with 38 five on five points in 2019-20 is easily replaceable

How many really good 200 foot centers are available ?

How many 50 point wingers are available ?

The lack of supply of Centers compared to wingers always puts a premium on that position.

Reinhart is a good hockey player though but Cirelli makes more of an impact to me.

I don’t think there’s disagreement there. It’s the insane hyperbole on Reinhart being poop, and Cirelli being gods gift to centers from a certain poster..

Which site did you use to get the numbers above?

Reinhart had 36 even strength points in the 19-20 regular season while Cirelli had 30, but Sam played more minutes.

Their even strength points per 60 rates were identical at 1.91.

Reinhart outscored Cirelli at even strength in the 18-19 season 42 to 31, while their respective points per 60 rates were 2.03 for Reinhart and 1.95 for Cirelli.

Cirelli has been better defensively the past 2 seasons while playing 470 total minutes less at even strength.

I agree 100%.

I understand his thought process though and try to formulate his opinion with better delivery.

Crazy idea

Let’s get our own Cirelli type (hopefully Cozens or whoever is at 8) and keep Sam. Like let’s collect a bunch of good players.
