Height 6.03 — Weight 200EP’s consolidated has him at 41 which is happens to be where the Canucks are with their second pick in that round.
If you want a tenacious physical checker of the same size, Gleb Pugachyov is supposed to be the guy. Out of Russia though… think a bigger harder hitting Kiefer Sherwood.
You want a even bigger checker who is known for his very solid D game… Adam Andersson. This guy hits everything that moves at 6’4″… also likes net front presence…

ParticipantI will be honest. I know I am new but this site blows chunks. WordPress hosting is easy to use but needs improvement in many areas including interaction. I have 8 websites with them so I know. There is very little interaction going on in here so I don’t honestly see it lasting.
I sort of feel sorry for Bill, when you only get about 4 replies a day it is not good.I don’t allow interaction yet because I don’t find WP justify what a quality site looks like. I think Bill has the right idea but needs a better web host
If this site hits a lot of traffic it will explode and not be able to handle it. Bill is a good guy and has a great idea but he needs to start exploring other options. Maybe even use the old HB way and builders.
I agree, this site has some serious operational issues, but it’s better than that garbage format HB turned into.

ParticipantLooking back at the 2014 Virtanen draft sure missed out on any 1 of many good players. In order drafted Nylander Ehlers Larkin Tuch Pastrnak Kempe.
Basically shows at 3oa gotta get it right so no Malhotra. Af 24 mine another gem & this rebuild takes great shape fast. Add in a high 1st in 2027 & keep it going on.
The draft is an inexact science, but the Canucks bring it to another level…that’s for sure!!
Just shows scouting not a GM should do the drafting. A lesson to learn BPA should prevail & includes character & intelligence.

ParticipantI’m hoping Caleb Malholtra is a smoke screen. I’ll be genuinely shocked if he goes 3rd with the brief success he’s enjoyed. I’m also not the biggest fan of the Cootes pick. He has been pretty vanilla the 5 or so times I saw him play against the Royals. But he also had no talent surrounding him until he joined Prince Albert. So you never know even if you sorta do.
Verhoeff is my guy this year. There’s enough depth in this draft to get a decent C later. Or trade Hronek for one.
Scouching did a pretty honest feeling breakdown of Malholtra. Said in the games he watched he was not a defensively aware as the reputation he has for it. Not just that but had to be bailed out too often. Mentions his top speed is respectable but slow on the first 3 strides. All stuff that can be worked on but not typically in a player going top 3 (or 4 or 5 even).
I’d post the link but every time I’ve tried my post disappears. Youtube block I guess.
Scouch gives some good in depth analysis. His rankings are like most & always doesn’t go as many expect. Priority is getting it right & that means BPA at 3oa.
