The two CHL kids (!) both seem like attempts at 3rd liners after the 3 Russian swings for 2nd liners.

I see more size and ability to play in traffic.

I can't be all that thrilled with this draft unless the Eichel trade (or some random thing I can't think of right now) nets us young prospect centres, but if that does happen I'll probably really like the draft. This one is so lopsided I feel like viewing it on it's own in isolation paints a very blurry picture.

He has good size as well but the knock on him last year was his skating. That can be worked on. He has a shot at getting a look for the AHL and take it from there.

His numbers are slightly better than last year. He also plays with some of the best players in the Q, Bourque and Bourgault. They both made Team Canada so I would say he benefits from playing with them. He may be a good complimentary player.

You are right that he should be getting more attention. The Q is not as highly regarded by most hockey people, unfortunately.
