catching up.
I had JV making the team.
Most had him firmly pegged as a bust iirc.

I think for a 6th overall pick you can certainly lean towards him still being a "bust" of a player. Doesn't mean he won't be a useful NHL player, hopefully a 20 goal 20 assist kind of guy, hopefully.

Tortorella is a Richard and I want Ovechkin to win a Cup.

I guess we have different definitions of bust then.

To me, Yak is a bust.

When did I say Debrusk was better?
- VANTEL

You didn’t i choose Barzal cuz he is a C & drives the play.

Yes he is! See, we can agree

You can pick up a base caravan brand new for about $24k, so there's that option because used are so cheap.

Parts are also plentiful and cheap.

Save your money & only pay for premium gas & get an early 2000 BMW X5. $5-6k max or cheaper if it checks out great. Has all the comforts & safety & balls u need.

Bust is too early to call til the team around him are not the craps as a whole. Wait a bit.

EPIC bust & no doubts either

You can still be a great young player on a crap team, see Boeser and Barzal for examples.

Yes, you and that twit Renidrag were the 2 that felt he would make team out of camp.

CROSBY's Better

And what about Sam Bennet?

Future first ballot HHOF inductee based strictly on his 19yo season.

I was just kidding but yeah I've never owned a "Beemer", out of my price range. I drive a 12 year old truck.

And what about Sam Bennet?

Bust for a 4th overall pick!! Again, still young and could be a productive NHL'er given time. Just can't seem to put it all together at the NHL level for some reason. I don't watch him as much as I watch Virtanen obviously so I don't really know his hockey IQ level, Virtanen's is LOW!!

- onesmallleap

Different players, center vs winger, pure goal scorer vs complete center. Both generational players. Actually the real definition of the term, which is widely over-used.

I think its more low confidence than hockey IQ. He has some really nice passes and plays...it's there...just needs to find it.

People keep labelling players based on draft position/round. It makes more sense to compare the players to their own unique draft class. Especially players drafted right before and after them

He's one kid I would accept taking a flyer on, he's got all the tools and he can skate at what I'd consider an NHL level for today's game, he's got NHL size and he can grow a wicked beard.

Virtanen has all the tools but no tool box, he's a dumbass, probably why Benning likes him so much

- Nucker101

Yeah I agree, in the first round a bust should be labelled relative to the players chosen around him.

When you look at the players chosen after virtanen.

The players chosen before...... well that's a different story.

I don’t think Jake has all the tools. His puck handling is very suspect.

Then does Nylander have all the tools seeing he checks like a girl?
