I know it's over a year recovery, could he DH while he's rehabing?

Well he doesn't need his right arm to hit, so why not?

Speed is so 2017. You win the cup with Tom Wilsons and Ryan Reaves now

The bolded is actually a decent hockey player too.

He's basically what we wanted Andrew Shaw to be.

Wilson is bigger and a better skater but yeah, we sorta wanted Shaw to play that style. He did, he is just physically done.

We wanted Shaw to be 6'4?

In terms of point production they are really comparable and Wilson plays with better players. Shaw is just worn out as a smaller guy playing a big boy's game.

When he's healthy I have never had any problem with Shaw, he's just never healthy.

I don't disagree.

Personnally I would go safe with Zadina who's a consensus no.3 but Tkatchuk should be a fine hockey player, a little bit of sandpaper in his game the habs could use.

The only knock on Tkachuk is that his lesser offensive upside may very well turn him into a 2nd line winger.

When picking at #3, go for the guy that has the most chance of becoming a superstar.

I won't be sad if we pick Tkachuk, he's gonna be good. Just wouldn't be my pick.

I wonder where he would have been picked last year if he was born one day earlier.

Yes. But the superstar has more chances of disapointing like a Yakupov, where a Tkatchuk will always have his use. I would still go for Zadina like I said.

Zadina is the fastest player in the draft, this game more than ever is built on speed
