      @SP You're right about everything here.
      ovi is consistent and durable: Matthews is not. Bedard will be better than matthews as long as he's durable.
      Matthews isn't even in the same conversation as Ovechkin and Crosby by a long shot. He's overhyped due to being on the Leafs.
      Shot wise, you are definitely right, very comparable to Matthews but more deceptive than matthews with his shot due to his head being up like mcdavids.
      It's rare to see deceptive shooters in World juniors. That's a gift....

      Ovechkin is 6’3 230 lbs. he uses his weight off his hip, to thrust the puck forward, bringing the insane velocity. 60% of a player shot is stored off their hip in that transfer of energy. I played for 22 years. That’s the first thing I never got perfect in mechanics because shooting off the hip with that much weight, makes a player lose balance on the shot, until they master it. I never did.

There hasn't been a clear-cut, no questions asked, consensus number one like Bedard since McDavid. I'm a Rangers fan, and I was hoping they'd pick Stutzle. There was even discussion about whether Kakko might go number one over Hughes. Laine with Matthews, etc..This is the deepest draft in a long time and there's absolutely no doubt as to who is going first. This kid is the Next One.

      I agree about the wrist shot, but I've seen overall talent like him before. Gretzky was dominating 10 year olds when he was 6. Mario put up numbers in juniors that were absolutely mind-boggling. Nobody ever saw a kid skate like McDavid before. Bedard is the Next One for sure, but there have been others before him just as mesmerizing.

      @bowlerdude041 Рік тому

      Seems more like just a worse version of what Edmonton is (especially since Horvat will be gone), which I guess is kind of already what the Canucks are like anyway... lots of offense, no defense. Goaltending a bit better but Demko, for all everyone likes him, has never even finished in the top-15 in save percentage in a season. Don't get me wrong, the Canucks would be elated to have him, and he'd probably be happy to go there being a BC kid... but... they are far more than another high-end offensive player away from being any good.

      @@CozyToad But that way of thinking is exactly why most GMs fail at cap management. You also have to save cap space just in case of something unpredictable (like Kuzmenko this season). There's no cap space to sign Kuzmenko to what he's worth. Even if we didn't sign Miller and could afford to sign Horvat, we still wouldn't have the cap space to sign Kuzmenko. You never really want to max out your cap. You always want some wiggle room.
      Also, EP's going to be a RFA and not a UFA like Horvat is. It's much easier to sign a RFA than it is to sign a pending UFA.
