Hoss Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited April 17, 2014 by Tankalicious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 I've asked it before but I forgot the answer so I'll ask again: I'd Draisaitl's skating poor? Like Grigs level bad? That's really my only concern with him, that and his apparent no show in big games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really my only concern with him, that and his apparent no show in big games I don't know how bad it is, but I've frequently read his skating is not good.

Derrico Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 I don't know how bad it is, but I've frequently read his skating is not good. Ya I've seen him the least out of the top guys and this is what I've read too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpandean Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabre snipe Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Don't judge a player by their highlight videos... Haha I know it. I don't think Virtanen will be able to do half the stuff he did in those videos in the nhl. I did like draisaitls passing and vision though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
