Thread: Sharks Bring in Nylander Konecny Mercer Severson Marchment and Fleury
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HeadHighSauce</b></div><div>Cooley is the 2nd best player in the draft imo (maybe even the best).

Is there any reason you don't like him besides his height and position at the NTDP?</div></div>

Small playmaking center is pretty low on the priority list for NJD. I think he's overrated by most.

He gives me a lot of Perfetti vibes, good puck skills and can finish but has a choppy stride and weak upper body strength.

A lot of his goals to me look like junior goals, I don't think his play style will translate well to the NHL.

He's a fine player, I have him in the top 10 just not in love with him like many others. Admittedly I would probably be a little higher on him if I didn't think he was such a bad fit in NJ. Wouldn't take him ahead of the 3 guys I listed personally.

Thread: Fiala Packages
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TanSor</b></div><div>I don't know much about Gritsyuk. He was ranked 7th in your prospect pool by Scott Wheeler at The Athletic who writes "He’s not going to be a star or anything but he looks like a player." To me, that makes him seem like a decent 3rd line player. Perrault on the other hand was ranked 2nd in the Ducks pool and I liked him a lot during his draft year (think he has 2nd line upside). If you think Gritsyuk is the better prospect, be my guest and sub him out mentally for someone you view as a 3rd liner if they reach their potential.</div></div>

Yeah as others have said Gritsyuk had a huge year and rocketed up our prospect rankings haha, he's right there with Hughes and Holtz imo. If you were willing to swap him out for a Foote / Clarke / Bahl / Walsh level guy then I'd make that trade all day. Would love to land Fiala, think he'd be a great fit here.
