Simon Robertsson is a good one too. Daniil Chayka, Olen Zellweger, Scott Morrow, and Sean Behrens aren't bad ones either. Stankoven is a good dark horse pick since he's undersized. I'm happy that we have 4 2nd Round picks today cause we can capitalize on all of the other teams 1st round mistakes. We're guaranteed to get some talent here.
I think he's more of a late round pick, but like you said there are a lot of surprises. I do agree that he would be a great fit for the leafs though. An underdog I'm looking at for the Canes is Colton Dach (Kirby's brother), maybe with one of our 3rd round picks or our last 2nd.
I think he's more of a late round pick based on the pick tendencies of NHL GM's (i.e this guy isn't very big), but a lot of outlets have him ranked right in that late 2nd/early 3rd range, and I agree more with that assessment. So it depends on what you view as a reach, I guess. I think he'd be great for the Leafs, as well. Got good speed and skill, good shot, smaller but kind of stocky and he's really high motor and doesn't shy away from physical play. Reminds me of Gourde, though that's probably optimistic. Dach could be a good option for the Canes at that stage of the Draft. Wonder if he gets selected higher though because of the name.
