NHL Entry Draft Reaction

So... Apparently the draft didn't turn out quite like I imagined it would.

you still think Kadri with 93 points, was a bad choice ?

[Heffiewiggle]

@manbir26 Well, I don't think he's a bad choice anymore. This video was made immediately after the draft, almost a year ago. Kadri will be a good player for us soon.

I'm not saying cowen is another Luke Schenn, but he will be a rock solid defenseman for years. I do hope Kadri gets bigger, but people also said that Anton Stralman would add bulk.

As for the Leafs having no scoring.... have you even followed the Leafs this year? We finished 10th in the league in goals for, it was goals against that killed us!

i have played agianst/withkadri since a very young age he has always been very small and immature but kadri has what you call the unteachables vision, scoring, playmaking those are things that cannot be taught he however does not have stregnth but that will come with age he will get bigger and stronger but will pass the players that simply have size you have to remember the leafs have no scoring at this point this was a very good pick....believe me jared cowan is no luke schenn not even close!

When did i say that? What the Fuck are you talking about. Get your facts straight.

[Heffiewiggle]

Fair enough... you're right I haven't seen him play. And he can score some points. Like I said, I mellowed a bit, and he's not the worst pickup. But I was saying I wanted a more complete player. Meaning a guy like Schenn. Scoring, hitting, fighting, everything. A guy like that is captain material. We haven't had a player like that in TO in a long time.

[saucepass99]

how many times have you seen these players play?? kadri is one of the most skilled players in the ohl! you said get someone with hands have u seen this kid he has the sickest hands in the ontario hockey league you need to actually see these players before you comment... the number one rule is dont comment on a player unless you've seen them play

Sniper?  Kadri isn't a sniper at all.

[Heffiewiggle]

3rd liner? This kid's supposed to be a sniper. Burying him on the 3rd line wouldn't help at all. On your third line you want energy guys, not a kid who's supposed to have this flashy scoring touch.

[Heffiewiggle]

Well, this was my reaction before the free agency period and I decided not to change it even with the moves we made, giving my reaction to the moves in another video. But we could have gotten Cowen instead of one of those guys (like Beauchemin). Yeah he's young, but he's most likely going to develop to be better than Exelby, Beauchemin and Komisarek.
