I remember when Barron was supposed to be the 2nd best D man in this draft at the beginning of the year. And he’s much more offensive

You can’t count out kk as a number one centre he’s 19. Also we have TOO MANY SMALL PLAYMAKERS. we need a good goal scorer.

And I can’t count kk out just yet as a good 1c. Not elite but good

He’s not great at anything. I’d take Sanderson,Schneider,guhle,wallinder and poirier way before this kid

KK Played most of the year with an injured groin likely from trying to add weight and get bigger - it’s a stretch to call him a fiasco at this point and drafting is always a hindsight crap shoot - I think Jesper will turn out just fine - he’s only 19 - 20 in July and only 1 1/2 seasons playing on smaller ice surface

I think people confuse what a 1C actually is. Cuz there’s 1C that are forced to play 1C and because they play with elite wingers get more points than usual. Monahan is an example of that. Turris was an example of that in Ottawa. They’d be very good 2C driving play but they can’t carry a 1st line but they could be carried. I think there’s only a handful of really elite 1Cs

Thank you,
Finally someone who isn’t ready to label a 19 years old as a bust. Imagine if all gms gave up on guys at 19

Where would you place Bergeron and scheifle. Cause I’d say they are good 1c but not elite. And that’s where I think kk could be.

Agree - I’m not big on Barron either - if I look at his progression from 2018 to 2019 (1/2 games played), he didn’t step up much and while plus / minus can be misleading, I don’t think he’s great defensively either in games I caught clips of

I caught one of your comments from earlier regarding Quinn. Yes I can believe that his stats are inflated as well as Rossi. I have to revert to the eye ball test for Quinn. He skates well, has good hands and is a decent passer. He also has a very good shot. I’d just like the Habs to draft him because all we have and have had for the last two decades is SMALL PLAYMAKERS. could it be a stretch maybe but when button(whether you like him or not) and Sam form Sportsnet have him top 10, I think and would like the Habs to draft him. I just don’t want to get another tiny playmaker, and watch Quinn go out there and score 40 goals year in and out

makes sense. everyone had zadina at 3 until he fell to 6. rossi size might scare teams from selecting him in the top 7-8

Edmonton could use a big body though, like what they tried to get in Lucic, and Cuylle looks like he has some good offensive upside so
