I don’t know. I didn’t make any claims about Rosen’s future. NHL prospects often add 20 lbs or more from the time they are 17 until 22-23. So you think the weight must be accurate, but then immediately accuse the height of being incorrect?

Where did the NHL get his size from? Did they measure it themselves? No, because there was no draft combine. They got it from the last time he was officially weighed, which might have been when he reported to camp before this past season. Usually the measurements for the better prospects are all accurate because they are measured at the combine. That’s not necessarily the case this year. And no, I didn’t watch the draft at all so far.

Regarding Raty, I thought I saw some stuff about him really struggling with confidence this past season. Maybe there is some mental health things going on that scouts know about, and “confidence” is just kind of being used as a cover word. Total speculation on my part.

From that tweet it sure seems like he knows nothing about Rosen apart from raw stats. There is a lot of ignored context there. It doesn’t reflect well on Bader.

We don’t even know what the trade is yet. How can someone tell you if it’s O’Reilly level or not?!?!? This thread is completely out of control. Everyone just wait until we know all of the trade before getting all crazy.

If it’s Levi and a late 1st then yes that’s disappointing. We’ll see what the deal is when everything is out.

Did everyone go to sleep? Are they going to finalize this in the morning?

I get that, but also he can walk for zero return in 12 months.

Welcome to SabreSpace

He’s shorter, so lower.

Friedman said that he believes Levi will be a Sabre, so I’m sure he is part of it. Can’t wait to hear the rest.

When did you weigh him last? There was no draft combine to get current info like this. Maybe he’s put on 15 pounds of good weight since he was last officially weighed, for example.

I agree. Also, Rosen was ranked at 18 on McKenzie’s final scout survey board, so it’s not even like at 13 he was a big reach vs general scouting opinion.

Power and Rosen huh? Not who I would have gone with in either case, but it’s not so bad. People said this draft is kind of a crap shoot. Rosen was often ranked in the 20-25 range it seems. I’m fine with it really. It’s a high upside swing. This guy has the potential to be a dynamic offensive weapon. Everyone needs to understand that he was playing small minutes in an AHL quality league as a 17 year old. If he had been playing in a junior league, he would have lit it up.

Raises hand.

It’s ESPN pumping their new product.

What’s the Granato connection?

Changes nothing. There was a 95% chance that Risto was gone before Power was in the NHL even if he wasn’t traded at all.

Hot damn! Thank you Chucky Fletch, Thank you Kevy Adams!

And they said this wasn’t a great draft.

This is hilarious Seriously, have you been to Times Square?

Would definitely be better off ignoring everything Dreger says.

I’m not saying they are going to suck or even that they will miss the playoffs. I’m just saying they won’t be a true cup contender.

We are talking about Boston specifically and I don’t think they have enough guys to pass the torch to to remain contenders. It’s not a ridiculous position that I’m staking out here. Once Bergeron, Krejc, and Rask are gone or ineffective. They will no longer be contenders for a cup. They don’t have the up and coming offensive players.
