Oh dear... Seider is a great player. Dragicevic is BRUTAL defensively. This would be a fire-able offense. And by fire-able, I mean the fans would start firing weapons at you.

It's definitely an area he needs to improve on but he has all the tools to be an elite 1st pairing guy. His skating is good for where he's at in his development and he's got a good stick, his offensive instincts are elite and any flaws he has can be corrected.

Dragicevic is the 3rd best RD in this draft, it’s 100% a Vancouver move but that’s a reach and a half
