Posted February 14, 20169 yr comment_183260 Looking down the list of the first round of that year and not sure I'd swap him for anyone on that list. Kid has some pretty sick skills and he keeps getting better.
February 14, 20169 yr comment_183262 Larkin is the steal of that draft. Pasternak and Ehlers close seconds. And I'd take Ekblad over Ehlers in a heartbeat.
February 14, 20169 yr comment_183265 Ekblad ehlers and Larkin are the gems of that draft for sure. Ekblad went first so not a steal. Ehlers was kind of a steal as wad Larkin. Pastrnak is ok too but doesn't have the high end potential like ehlers
February 14, 20169 yr comment_183266 Just still can't believe that Chevy basically got three first round picks as part of the Kane trade - Lemieux is 31st overall.
February 14, 20169 yr Author comment_183267 He shows flashes of his skill and he is legit. Ekblad would be nice but we needed a highly skilled forward at the time. Gonna be fun times seeing him develop
February 14, 20169 yr comment_183268 I'd take ekblad over trouba and Myers but... we picked what? 7th not 1st
February 14, 20169 yr Author comment_183273 Ehlers-Sheifele-Wheeler has the potential to be a great line
