Quoting: NotDougWilson
There's no way Zeev is going to be out of the top 10. I haven't quite looked at his defensive game, but if he's dynamic on both sides of the ice then it should be a no-brainer.
It’s Denver…system hockey. So not always easy to judge. But Zeev isn’t putting up points by being their best offensive dman. He is their best dman. I think Zeev ought to be in 7-10 range.
I just find Bob McKenzie’s painfully obvious Canadian homerism to be funny.
(Sometimes he even makes fun of it himself)
In 2015, it was: “McDavid is generational”
In 2016, it was: “it’s Matthews but let’s talk about how he is not as good as McDavid”
In 2017, it was: “Nolan Patrick was a lock, top 1C”
In 2018, It was: “Dahlin, Svench…some other guys, Quinn-something…and then, the Canadians!”
In 2019, it was: “okay, maybe it could be Hughes, but here is why he won’t be best player from this draft”
In 2020, it was: “Lafreniere is generational”
In 2021, it was: “Power is Hedman…Kent is a magician…some Beniers guy, no one thinks Luke is any good”
In 2022: it was “Shane Wright’s draft to lose…tightens grip on #1”
In 2023: it was, “Bedard is generational”
In 2024, now, its…shocker…Celebrini. Because of his point totals as draft-eligible NCAA player. (But the dman who same point total…where’s he from? Oh, he falls out of top-10 and doesn’t get mentioned).
