LGR4GM Posted February 20 Author Report Posted February 20 There's like 6 players between #6 and #12 that are various versions of the same thing. Lots of guys with motors and physicality that either need strength, better skating, better handles, better visions or some combination there of. The 5-15 range of this draft will be really interesting to watch. Quote

You could take a risk on McQueen who hasn't played because of a bulging disc in his back. Is Martone that hard to play against guy we have been needing? Quote

I still prefer Bear to Desnoyers at this stage. Anton Frondell is up high on a lot of boards but I dont see it honestly. In what limited I have seen and mainly in what I have read, everyone has a variation of "good size with a great shot, gotta improve his skating" and yea his shot is good but the rest of his game is just fine, it isn't bad but there's no other standout element there. The allsvenskan is tougher than canadian jrs probably but idk, I just feel like I want more at pick 5-8 than Frondell. Hopefully McQueen comes back from his bulging disc soon and we get a look at him, he's a real wild card in this draft. Quote

That worries me a lot and I have to wonder if his bulging disc will return or not. Of McQueen comes back and is medically g2g, you have a top 5 instead of a top 4. McQueen becomes a wild card because he could go anywhere from 2-5 if he does really well the last 10 games and gets on a playoff run. If his team can make it a couple rounds in and he has about 20 games at the end, I think teams will move him back up boards. Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted Sunday at 04:10 AM Report Posted Sunday at 04:10 AM Feeling much better about a top 4 pick after tonight’s game. Quote
GoPuckYourself Posted Sunday at 04:55 AM Report Posted Sunday at 04:55 AM I'm still a big Martone fan, I think he's the dude we need badly. I even see him being called the "long lost Tkachuk brother". Quote

LGR4GM Posted Sunday at 01:56 PM Author Report Posted Sunday at 01:56 PM He doesn't apply his physicality consistently. I want the higher revving motor of Misa. Martone would be a nice consolation prize. Quote

Members of the fanbase would turn on him quickly. He doesn’t run people through the boards every shift. He doesn’t punch people in the face every game. I wouldn’t be upset with the pick but people who think he is Tom Wilson 2.0 or a Tkachuk will need to temper their expectations Quote

I like looking at those numbers. They are insane. And I know he didn’t put up numbers that sick, but Savoie put up incredible stats too. I’ve never watched Misa play so maybe he’s more Bedard than Savoie. But stats at this stage doesn’t totally sell me on a player. Quote

His best ppg was 1.53 compared to Misa this year at 2.11ppg which is 72.5% more points per game than Matt Savoie in his D+1 season. (I won't count his shortened D+2 year of only 34games). In his D+1 year where Savoie put up 95pts, he was 2nd on his team in scoring behind the 98pts of Zach Benson. Quote
