Draft grades night 1

Slight disagreements here and there, but overall this is pretty close. Only one that really sticks out is But, I wouldn't have made that pick but I think an F is harsh

Could’ve gotten him late in the first round

Hell, potentially in the second round

Actually really in on the Leonard pick

It's really hard to understand what Arizona was doing today. Surely Simashev would have lasted to #12 and you could have put half a dozen names in a hat (anyone in the top 20 you have marked with an "A") and picked one at random for #6 and come up with someone better than Daniil But.

I think that you'll be wrong about Charlie Stramel.

Agree on Stramel. He's going to be a very solid player for a mid 1st rounder

Can't teach that size though. Simashev's skaeing is outstanding and if he can grow into that body he's a big time Top line D munching mins. But has great hands and eyes maybe a little early for him but (pun intended) he has the chance to be a huge matchup problem down the wing. Those hands on that frame you can't match him up with a small D man like you can with a lot of these 6 foot and under wingers. The reach he has becomes their down fall plus his weight in the corners.

As a Penguins fan, I wanted Perreault. As their pick came near I also hoped for Moore. Wood, or Barlow. Instead, they select Yager and he will just be another Poulin. It doesn't matter who runs the Penguins, they just suck at drafting ... every single damn year since 2006.

I was referencing But

And I don’t give two ****s about size, if you aren’t even the tenth best player available you shouldn’t be even considered for that pick

Easton Cowan was a huge reach

If I’m being honest I never watched a second of him

Y’all are writing off Cowan way too early, look at his recent production

The only first rounder production came in the playoffs, he put up third rounder numbers over the season

His first round production started in the second half of the reg season when he was promoted from 4th line
