Dylan Burke is an idiot. He hates Sutter but is now suggesting we make a move to get Eberle.

Bo an elite #1C ? I'd love to be wrong but I don't ever see that happening. If he's a #1C at all it's on a bad team.......like this one.

Why couldn't he be on a good team where there aren't any centers better then him?

Although Bo has trended up and numbers appear like he could end up as 1C. Bo has yet to prove that he can consistently distribute the puck to teammates, has relied to much on power moves and has too many brain farts during defensive zone coverage.
Nothing wrong with his drive and determination, hockey IQ maybe an issue. Still a darn good player.
One of the reasons it is so important to take one of the centre's at.#5. I am hoping Glass, Vilardi.and if they are gone Necas.(Assuming Patrick Hischier are chosen.)[/img]

Pshhh, when he graduates from using his "toe drag" more than his linemates, I might upgrade him to a 2C skillset.

Call me bat sh!t crazy but I don't think he has stopped developing

To say that he is at his ceiling is asinine.

I have hopes he is a Getzlaf type but I would more than settle for Schieflie.

I like comparison from his coach...Ryan Johansen, he has been a beast this playoffs and since being traded to Nashville.

His ceiling on a championship roster is elite 3rd line centre, yes. IMO of course
- DrChristianTroy

So he's no better then Nick Bonino? Van is (frank)ed.

With all the Glass praise one of Stars and Avs may take him over Vilardi, Mittlestadt or a D.

Our best player who is 22 and produces at a low 1c rate has a 3C ceiling. Fold the franchise

Apparently he can only be a 1C on a sh!tty team because ALL good teams have better centers then Bo

Bonino isn't an "elite" third line center

Horvat could be a great second line center under the right circumstances. He doesn't distribute the puck well but neither does Auston Matthew. Matthews is light years ahead of Horvat in the goal scoring department but if Bo can get some great wingers like Matthews his point totals would go up.

Louis Oosthuizen has such a sweet golf swing! Watching the player championship.

I think Glass will go before them.

Middlestadt is a risky pick imo.

Vilardi I question his skating.

All good teams do have better centers than Horvat. There's only about six or eight really good teams in the league. If that. Followed by good teams, middle of the road teams and then teams like the Canucks Coyotes and Avalanche.

I know....no one likes to hear the truth around here. Hey I love the kid, he's such a bright spot in our abyss, if he can be as good as Ryan O'Reilly I'll be

I'm sorry I haven't eaten yet. Only a half a bottle of wine.

I honestly don't think he has peaked. He will get better. Nobody worked harder and he makes the people around him better.
