49 games, 14 points

Insignificant. 17 year old in euro pro league, pretty standard

They alternate between analytics and archaic picks so after the ostlund one Id expect Kulich (an analytics pick)
- Michael Ghofrani


It's a headscratcher, I think Kulich was generally rated higher than Ostlund and is a steal here. All 3 combined is excellent value and a big position of need.

Thrilled about Savoie and Kulich.

Ostlund to me was a reach, I like the player but felt there was betters available.

I'll give you 2/3. I wouldve gone nazar at 9, but i know savoie had strong underlying numbers for 2 years in a row (DY-1 is a strong indicator and his was good).

Kulich at 28 is pretty good value too. Strong upside for a 28th overall pick. Held his own in the pros.

I wanted lambert too. I get he had a down season.

But something else has gotta give about him.

You don’t go from a top 3 pick to this in 1 year

I’m going to pretend they took Kulich at 16 and Ostlund at 28.

Other then that, Lots of skill and speed added to the organization today

Tell me again why a 40 goal 24 year old is bad.

I don’t understand what Arizona is doing.

They are trading for all these cap dumps to get pics but won’t trade two of their best assets for multiple picks
