Nico over Nolan.
Jack is a year away from being a star
And Wright(hopefully)

I think the Hockey Gods are smiling on this franchise once more.

I trust Fitz, for them to pass on Wright, they must see something good.

Take the best player available. Then you figure out who from the prospects you want to go forward with long term and trade the rest. You don’t pick based on needs with the 2OA

I wonder if Arizona even thought this was a possibility.

Not a fan of this hopefully they know more about future moves

He shouldn’t have been a top 3 pick, not with Wright still there. Wow….this will be a huge bonehead move.

This won’t be Makar, Wright Falling will be this year’s Makar. What a blunder.

Unbelievable, you can find d-men. Can’t just find top centers. Cale Makar got us thinking back to that draft. Wright or Cooley should have been the pick. So frustrated with this choice. At least trade back and get something and then take Nemec.

I read some scouting on Nemec… sounds like a smaller Hedman.

Outside of the first overall selections when has this team drafted well? It's mindboggling pick after pick.

Didnt really look into nemec as I was convinced it would be wright slaf or cooley

From a couple reports is he is good in all zones but not great at anything and may create offense but won't put up lots of points

Seems like a reach

Usually we do that with our 2nd 1st round pick but since we only had one this year guess we had to reach

Holy poop. Are you kidding me?!? Fitz must have panicked after Habs took Slaf. I hope something leaks of why they didn’t take Shane.

Maybe? But with McLeod, Zacha, Smith, not being great and suspect picks like Stillman and Mukhammadullin we're looking at potentially years of setback when we should be building.

3 teams passed on him... There's got to be something wrong with the kid. Maybe he's a cocky wiener? Me first player? idk. But for 3! teams to pass on the No.1 consensus...
