It's a good thing most teams pay almost zero attention to the flawed rankings from Central Scouting. Surprised the scout you spoke with didn't note those flaws?

A guy like Craig Button still has Eiserman at #2. So we can all relax now. Although I personally wouldn't draft an undersized winger that high. I'll take a big top pair d-man instead.

Not an EK article. Not sure he has ever covered this random topic, the writing is too grammatically correct, and the style is not EK's either.

I’d have a hard time drafting someone named Zeev Buium. I’d rather trade the pick

C’s & D’s always rise in the rankings. Wingers end up sliding especially puny ones. This is nothing new. Legit good size very good goal scoring wingers hold better value but no guarantees. Picking reaches are C’s & D’s like Kotkaniemi Hayton Seider etc.

Is that PTSD from drafting Ziggy Palffy?

Sounds like a perfect 1sr round pick for Columbus.

He's a perfect Kyle Dubas pick. Small, non physical, speedy winger. Not a defenseman, or Center. He's going to Pittsburgh!

How are those ‘rumors’ coming along from a few weeks ago when Zucker was being tarred and feathered?

He's pretty much the exact same size as Nylander and plays the opposite wing. Time for Toronto to dedicate 12% of their cap to this kid to play opposite the softest winger in hockey.

Good insight guys.

Pitt doesn't have a #1 pick this year. Toronto most likely makes the playoffs so won't be in the lottery. Eiserman will be a top 10 pick. Probably top 3 despite this random article lamenting how he is falling to #8.

Who won the GM contest for the Nylander trade?

PIT does have a top 10 protected pick from the Karlsson trade this year so it is possible they could get him even if he didn't fall outside the top 10. Not very likely currently, but PIT is very top heavy and one major injury away from disaster.

Jacob Markstrom left Flames practice, replaced by the Shooter Tutor.

I’ll be completely honest, I have absolutely no idea what happened.
