I feel like there’s similarities to Adam Fox. He’s not the biggest or fastest but he’s incredibly smart.

Finally got around to watching this. Interesting video (And not just saying that because it validates my own opinion on him). The point you made about his dynamic plays not shifting the defensive team's structure was a really good one I hadn't picked up on. I know you said that you view him as a #4 defenseman thanks to his weak physical play when contact is involved, is this not something that you think will get fixed as he gets older and can bulk up, or are you not going to consider this for prospects considering how uncertain physical development can be? Like the video though, and are you going to/when will you make a Levshunov or Dickinson video? Those are two defenseman that seem very interesting to me, and Dickinson in particular seems to have fallen for what I can only say seems like no real fault of his own.

Glad you appreciated it ! I'm not sure how much it's going to hinders him at the next-level, but from what I've saw, Buium is already a bit thick upper-body wise and I'm not sure he has a lot of room left for physical growth. It,s not like a guy like Jiricek who is very frail but you simply don't know IF he's going to put on the mass necessary. Buium does like to engage the body tho and I appreciate that. I'm supposed to make one on Levshunov shortly. I wasn't very productive the last 3 weeks, got very busy with work and I was prioritizing finnishing my views on the CHL playoffs for my future writing and video content.

To me… He is a Lane Hutson 2.0 but at 6’0 tall rather than 5’10. If that guy can get stronger in his lower body and therefore become more explosive in his acceleration… My gosh… sky is the limit for him. He is soooo smart. Great compete too. With just a bit mire acceleration & explosiveness in his skating, he’ll be a STAR

I agree that he is the closest thing to Lane. I don't think he's as smart offensively however.

He is for me, but mainly because some people see him as an offensive juggernaut and as a top 5-8 pick. I think he's definitely a positive contributor for his team at the NCAA level. But in the NHL, the defense project as average and I don't think his offense is that good to project him on a PP1. That looks more like a number 4 for me. Still a top 15 pick however.

@@SimonSt-L-Scouting Understood. That makes a lot of sense! How do you think are the top 3 players the Habs should target at #5?

@@realbeetlejuice No. Way too soon for me. He's in the teens on my list. I admired what he has accomplished this season but looked at players with similar profile than him from the last few seasons. They still haven't panned out or aren't playing much in the playoffs.
