Yes yes yes

Swedes usually know hockey!

BPA, don't consider myself a scout. Don't want big just to get big.

Nevermind Frondell is the pick. Time will tell

I like it. Solid complete player.

The version of Eiserman you want, i think the Blackhawks benefitted from him being injured

From Lines.com - Anton Frondell

Ranks near the top of his draft class because of his being a smooth skater and scorer who already has shown he is a complete package. Has a strong hockey understanding of his role in all three zones, and has speed, size, hands, puck handling ability. His long powerful stride eat up ice and his strong vision and long reach and natural offensive skills. He buries his shots consistently with Djurgärdens and not more than six feet, he always comes back deep in his end lowering strong hits to separate defenders from pucks. On the attack, he doesn’t need to break stride to catch and shoot and can snap off hard shots in full flight. A natural sniper and skater who also has a deadly one timer, but he also ranks up there as one of the finest defensive centers in the class, so he will help some NHL team in some way if he is a top six winger, end up in a third line center role as a pro. His upside is a top line centre based on the power in his skating, shot and two-way presence and smarts. If you use your precious early draft pick on him, you probably adding a power forward. You have reservations about his skating agility, his vision, playmaking, and foot skills, or that his defensive game like most prospects, is still a work in progress. Frondell’s boots have to be part a positive conversation that makes a NHL team draft him because I am they would have liked more views where he displayed higher playmaking ability, and for that matter, a much higher level of explosiveness in many areas, from transition to heavy battle zones. There are certainly not many players as physically advanced, with his best tool being his shot and leg drive. So if he lacks elusiveness, and an explosive gear along with an impressive. power skating, you end up pairing him with linemates who can drive play and open space which, he at this juncture, cannot. While I am piling on, I would expect him to add keener attack ideas, unless I am over exaggerating the his attack skills as an issue.

Frondell should be a good pick. Potential to be a 1C, maybe RW. Good depth coming

Yeah whatever

Interested to know why Steve from Mopeco hates the pick.

Hahaha, I'm sure we'll find out soon

This format sucks! Hopefully they go back to the old format where the team are in the same building.

The same guy who loved Demidov thinks he's the best player in this draft

Wow the Utah ownership group makes KFC’s semi-awkward convo look seamless. Going to say I’m a nay on this format.

Man, our highest paid dman is making the pick for Nashville. Traitor!

Dumbass Format. Not sure who thought this was a good idea.

Loving those fancies. Let’s hope he lives up to those numbers

I have to say that's pretty good company to be in, avg more than Nylander and Pastrnak and a little less than Pettersson

Zegras has someone to hide behind after he starts poop.

It's odd that no trades have gone down as of now. As much as everyone was saying that it would be a crazy day of wheeling and dealing.

Told you, Brady Martin was rising

Wonder if the new format is inhibiting that.

Well… the new format is definitely inhibiting my enjoyment of the draft.

He’s going to be a good one.

Good point Totem this format is horrible back in the day you can see trade's going down just by looking at the table's.
