I like the look of Ritchie. Both dudes need to get more quickness. Is that foot speed or in how they play and process the game?

Maybe you should watch the game in a chair then?
Brady Tkatchuk is slow and ugly and a top power forward in the game
So. Who do we pick with the tenth
Let's hope for a good losing streak so it doesn't come to that. Let's still aim for a top 5

Pronman at it again saying Fantilli closing on on Bedard for first OA. Rinse repeat yearly. https://theathletic.com/3742176/202...prospects-ranking/?source=user_shared_article

I don't think it's crazy, to be honest.
Bedard's highlight tape is amazing to watch...
...as long as you remember that 0% of that would work in the NHL.
I'm not trying to denigrate him, but there are always players that are consensus #1 overall picks that end up not being the best in their draft.
I still think Bedard is going to be picked first overall, but Fantili's production in the NCAA is nothing to sneeze at.

I want them to get Leo Carlsson

What makes Carlsson & Fantili so attractive is that if they pan out, we're set at center for the next decade. Even moreso if Dach ends up at center longterm and not as a winger.
Suzuki
Fantili/Carlsson
Dach (maybe) / Beck
That's a championship caliber centerline.
With Caufield & Slaf on the wing, Guhle / Harris / Xhekaj on defense, we'd have a very good core to build around.
It's missing a real #1 d-man and goaltender and I don't know if those players are in our system or not. Dobes is interesting, but Primeau was interesting at the NCAA level too. Mailloux's interesting and there's a lot of potential there, but he's atrocious defensively. If he can't fix that, he's going to have a tough time in the NHL.

The opposite of the Habs for most of my life. Default was to have a number 1 D (Markov, subban, Weber) and a goalie (Theo, price) but never a great centre (saku and pleks being the best 2)
