Ho-Chi-Sock Posted June 22, 2019 Report Posted June 22, 2019 Botterill should have been immediately fired for this pick. 4 Quote

Brawndo Posted June 23, 2019 Author Report Posted June 23, 2019 Quote Aaron Huglen, RW, Fargo-USHL March 6, 2001 | 5-foot-11 | 165 pounds Skating: 55 Puck Skills: 65 Physical Game: 40 Hockey Sense: 60 Huglen started the season in the USHL before heading to play high school at Roseau where he was a Mr. Hockey candidate in Minnesota. He finished the season strong back in the USHL with Fargo. He’s a high skill/high IQ forward and is one of the most purely skilled players that will get picked outside of the first round. Huglen has quick-twitch hands and can make defenders look foolish with his fakes and dekes. He makes plays around defenders at a quick pace and is dangerous on the attack. He was a regular on the highlight reel at the high school level. He’s a fantastic playmaker who flashed elite vision on some very creative passes throughout the season. He skates well. It’s not explosive speed, but Huglen has a clean stride, good edgework and gets above-average speed through the neutral zone. Off the puck, he’s just OK. He’s physically underdeveloped and can struggle to win puck battles but doesn’t shy away from the crease area. He didn’t play amazingly at the USHL or at the Hlinka Gretzky, raising some concerns if the talent will translate to higher levels, but the raw talent is significant. Quote
French Collection Posted June 23, 2019 Report Posted June 23, 2019 He played for Roseau high school and I remembered the Broten family was from there. I did a quick search and this town of 2600 people has sent 9 players to the NHL. 2 1 Quote
PerreaultForever Posted June 23, 2019 Report Posted June 23, 2019 Seems like a JBot type player. Let's see what he is in 3 years. Quote
Huckleberry Posted June 23, 2019 Report Posted June 23, 2019 Its what I expected Jbots to do, he had so many late round picks, package them for guys you really want. Quote
Scottysabres Posted June 23, 2019 Report Posted June 23, 2019 Another Mitts? Great, can't wait to watch his 6 goal, 13 assist 74 game rookie season. Quote

Perfect, in the mean time, I'll be approaching my 60's, a fan of the team since it's inception in to the league, still waiting for a Stanley Cup. Sounds like a great plan from where I'm sitting. 2 Quote

Hoss Posted June 23, 2019 Report Posted June 23, 2019 Pronman says this kid has the highest upside of any player taken outside the first round. You can find two twitter accounts for this kid (one that he hasn’t tweeted from since 2015) and every single tweet is about hockey or god. This kid absolutely adores the game of hockey. He’s going to work his ass off. I’ll definitely remember this pick and keep an eye on him over time. 2 Quote
dudacek Posted June 23, 2019 Report Posted June 23, 2019 A 65 from Pronman in puck skills is insane. Hughes and Kakko got 65. Turcotte and Zegras 60, Cozens 55. 1 1 1 Quote
