That interview makes me want Michael Dal Colle, who according to them is actually a natural center.

 

He's got a winger's body and that's where he'll stay.

 

Almost every great forward played center at some point in their career. If you're the best player or one of the best on your team at the midget level then you'll play center. It gets you the puck the most. Once the talent level evens out more some guys have to go to a wing where they fit more.

I am not sure what you mean by this.

I kind of want Ehlers now because of the flamboyant way he celebrates.

 

I read this before I watched the video and was concerned that he was the type to bypass celebrating teammates to get in his "special" celebration. I really hate that (yes, even when Kaleta or any other Sabres player does it.) Fortunately, the last one showed me that he is not that type.

There's no bypassing teammates if you're on Marcus Foligno's line.

I hope we pick Draisaitl at 2 and Ehlers at 5.

 

I would be beyond disappointed if our two top five picks ended up being this. Draisaitl is a mid-teens pick in most drafts. The type of guy who has outstanding potential, but endless question marks. Not somebody you take two overall. I'd be fine with him at five in this draft, but not at two. Ehlers is similar. Produces at a high rate, but it's highly questionable if he'll be able to do some of the things he does at the NHL level.

 

Really hoping that Snow is being honest about them keeping their pick this year.

Not true at all. Draisaitl is among the consensus top five available prospects in the 2014 draft.
