Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Draisaitl has far more skill and far less edge than Holik. Spezza? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Spezza? Closer. Not as skilled, more intense - people say Kopitar a lot, but I prefer the mini-Jagr parallel. He uses that big ass to shield the puck then dish it off to open guys. I don't think defence is his strong suit, but he seems to have a good head on his shoulders - not a whiny prima Donna, or a softy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see calling a guy Jagr unless he is THE GOODS. People have seen him play for 3 decades, so they forget that 4 or 5 year span where he carried Mario.

dudacek Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Yeah I'm talking style here, not substance. Afinogenov resembled Mogilny but... You get the idea. Draisaitl will have a better career than Max, but his top-end is a less-good defensively Kopitar level player, not Mario Jr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 No....that the Employee of East Resources is on the stage when the Sabres' first pick is selected. 3-1 on a tweeted picture with his arm around the pick within 96 hours..... They could keep him out of the trade deadline picture in the war-room, but you can't keep JoBa from getting his dewhook into Bennett on that stage..... I may have lost a bet on Bennett....but luckily nobody took on this one.... (PS, only Lil' JoeBa made it on stage) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
