Holy shit. Got any lotto numbers?

bro guessed it

LGRW

WELL DONE !

Well done 👏

Kinda funny cause we always think of the small kids who already have refined play styles as the upside swings in a draft. But what can you really teach those kids? Besides praying they end up bigger than the average 16 year old when they turn 24? You can actually teach someone like Danielson and the base skill level is there.

@@derek4044 He has looked real good thus far this preseason

Totally agree, gives me flashes of Sakic and Modano…accurate shot, smooth strides and head up, great size, and defensive…also captain experience.. guards the best opposing player

Guess Yzerman agreed with you

He's getting pretty high on a few rankings out there!

How about 9th?

Touché

@@Dtown1996 I’m guessing they felt he wouldn’t be available at 17, glad he’s a red wing!

We took him 9th

Watching this video because we took him 9th overall!

Thanks for watching!

Well said!!!

9

Yzerman fuked up we could have taken him at 17 cant believe we passed up on benson

had to come here to see how good he actually is

​​@@Pix3lPalaceever underestimate yzerman everyone was complaining about us getting mo and look how good he turned out to be Plus he was a GM for the lightning for a long time and he turned it them into a beast and hopefully he's going to turn us into a beast too so I wouldn't say he's a bust at number 9

Looks like two solid pick ups to me

BOOM!

​@@nhldraftprosLove the channel man, thanks for all your hard work and these videos. Your following looks like it will continue to grow every year. Maybe you should do some content during the season. Some profiles at the start of the season/midseason rankings would be good. Maybe some clip breakdowns or short highlights during the season.

@@danb239 Yes was thinking of what to do during the year and I think that's what I'm gonna do. Thanks for input!

no

Yes

We have a no and a yes in replies! Need a tie-breaker here!

@@nhldraftpros ahahah

Yes 😎

I like Danielson, but I would have preferred a player with more upside. I like Dvorsky or Wood...but Danielson could be considered in the same tier. I think the Wings missed out by one pick on Leonard. And if Yzerman makes the pick, then it's gotta be a good pick!

There’s a reason why Benson fell to #13... Yzerman knew what he was doing. Drafted the second best center in the WHL at #9, the toughest center for Connor Bedard, and carried a terrible team to and through the playoffs, and then picked up another excellent defenseman in Axel Sandin-Pellika. Last time Yzerman reached he got Mo Seider. Look how that turned out. They clearly have more information than we do so why not stand back for a minute and assess the possibilities.

@@natebriskey9031 benson was top 5 material, the fact that he was available at 9th and the fact that he got picked at 13th is going to make it that much worse when he turns into a high level playmaker, which we need in Detroit, benson could have pushed Larkin to the wing and we would have benson and kasper down the middle, and I’m not at all bagging on danielson cause I’m sure he’s a great pick but benson should have - in a perfect world - probably gone like 5th - 6th overall, it’s just a poor decision, regardless of how danielson turns out it’s probably going to look like the weaker pick in a couple years.

@@Sonicthehedgefundmanagerwhy would you ever put Larkin on the wing?

@@cannedpaint because Larkin is more of a goal scorer, and in general is considered one of the weaker first line center’s in the NHL (which I disagree with). Benson is projected to be a center and a high level playmaker, if we would have drafted him he could have possibly pushed Larkin to the wing (which would probably suit Larkins game better). But it’s out the window so it doesn’t matter.

@@Sonicthehedgefundmanager You certainly are passionate about Benson, you may well be the "winner" in this debate. The fact that 8 teams before Stevie and 3 teams afterwards passed on him - there's more than just Stevie say something that made them pass. That's a lot of NHL experience that said no. With his credentials, he play well somewhere for sure.

How bad were they ?

@@jackstebner515 not a great season lol.

@@DustyAllStar9 so you would say he didn’t have adequate help?

@@jackstebner515 there's only Jake chaisson who's an nhl draft pick and he was injured half the season. Their goalie was pretty good though. But yeah not the best wheat kings team

I like this take!

That early eh! I can't wait to see where these prospects end up!

Really tough to say and will be team dependent because he'll likely go before we get to him being "best player available." High floor guys are tough.

I say he goes 16 to Calgary

wings

Middle 6 maybe? In that case would drop a bit in draft.

@@nhldraftpros I think so yeah but we'll see can't wait

@@user-ed6nt1ml6p he may lack high end abilities but he’s good at everything. That screams 3rd line C. I believe the hockey writers said they think he has potential to be a 2c. His skating is excellent so I’d say he has a very good chance to be successful

@@italian1ist no doubt he would be a NHLer yeah I agree for 3C but top 6 ? no way to me but it's just my personnal opinion for sure

@@italian1ist maybe they saw an untapped potential in him His playmaking is not anything special honestly to me that's because his hockey sens is'nt great by any means he has good hockey sens just as most if not all the 3rd line C in the NHL.. once again I could really go wrong would be interesting to see for sure

Why the hate for CHL players?

So you'd pass on Connor Bedard because he's a CHL player? haha

im with you if reinbacher is left take him for sure
