Kaprizov.....EASILY, lol

Dont forget Kaprizov started his career later AND was in the Khl

wait about 2 years and it'll be kaprizov imo. but for now its aho. no offense, but imo mason appleton should be in the convo too. he's becoming a solid dman.

appleton is not a defenseman

Kaprizov for sure, Aho is unreal value. I know this isn't quite what you're post is about but Kyle Connor at 17 seems criminal at this point.

Kaprizov was the biggest steal.
Aho is the better player though.

In terms of better player
1. Aho
2. Kaprizov
3. Cirelli
4. Garland

In terms of steals, IMO,
1. Kaprizov
2. Cirelli
3. Aho
4. Garland

If kaprizov started his career in the same year as Aho, Cirelli he would be considered a nobody

Dollar dollar bill Kirill.
Kirill the thrill

Nobody else comes close on the names, so he's the easy choice.

He didn’t though. We can’t change that.
As of today, he is the biggest steal of that draft.

it is crazy that literally every team has at lest one player on their NHL roster from this draft, IMO it is already better then 2003

Definitely, the Wild have 3 contributors from this draft.

Mangiapane at #166 overall was a good find

He should have gone higher but Sweeney decided that would be too predictable.

my bad. forward.

its unfair imo that he's considered a rookie. like the guys played almost 3 full seasons in a mens league in the khl. has a lot of pro hockey experience. they need to change the rules regarding calder eligibility. jason robertson should be the winner.

They changed the eligibility after 31 year old Sergei Makarov won the Calder

that’s true.

but to be fair, there are a lot of guys who come over from russia and europe and can’t adapt to the nhl.

he could but then u have players like mangiapani and nutivara

yeah but at the same time, legit rookies, who don't have pro games, like robertson, don't win and a 24 year old khl vet wins it.
