Cuz likes 'em chunky when there are 2.

But God forbid they be fit and athletic.

As noted yesterday Dude is solidifying his #1 spot.

Also have been reading a lot about Stenbergs overall quality and # of top end boxes ticked.

Cuz may be correct after all about this player.

If it goes:

McKenna
Reid
Malhotra
Stenberg (with Bedard and Frondell ffs)

....I won't know what to say.

They don't call them funbags because they're boring to play with

What has our Albortan Shed Dweller been saying about this player? I haven’t been paying attention.

Guaranteed playah.

Kucherov Jr.

Among other things....

Is there anyone in the draft considered to be a "Franchise" player to build around?

Didn't think so.

You mean like a Schaffer? No. But there are a handful of guys that can be top line players and first pair D. Those don't get the "franchise" moniker if that's reserved for the likes of the McDavids and Mackinnons, but they can be players to build around with a couple other guys of similar quality.

I just heard some discussion with The Athletic draft guys and Scott Wheeler said the big 6'8" 240 lb Russian D is rocketing up the charts late and should go in the first round. He's 17 guys.

I know what I'm doing with the 24th pick.

Our own homegrown Zadorov

So many rights he was begging for a left

We could likely grab him with our 41st. But I'm not sure he would create safe spaces for our opponents.

Wheeler had the Flyers taking him at 21 in his mock today. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/733354 ... list-2026/

Interesting take on McKenna from scouts being interviewed at the combine. The gist of it is he is going to be a regular season star who doesn't move the needle once the intensity ramps up. A guy who racks up the points but doesn't win you the big games come spring

The Panarin comparable rears it's head again

Panarin has only had 2 playoffs where he’s been a Pettersson-esque no show. In 6 of the other appearances he has been pretty much a 1.0PPG player.

I’d take McKenna still. You just have to recognize that in the playoffs you need a Batman to his Robin.
