But yeah Graves - Hamilton Hughes - Nemec Siegenthaler - Severson This is sexy Then you have Bahl, Mukh and Walsh in the pipeline ready to step in This is a deep group and this is how you win 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a deep draft this year so elite is relative. Elite compared to other prospects in this draft or elite because what he brings to the table. I don't think that has been clarified. I'm sure the Alexander Daigles and Patrik Stefans were called elite at one time too. He does stand out though. Did you watch any of the World’s? Both him and Slaf looked great in that tournament.

You’re awful upset over a player you clearly aren’t very familiar with… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Fitz said that he's looking to build a good team now AND long-term. Trying to get the youngest top players with your picks is certainly part of building for the future. So we don't have to rush them in and while its taking longer to get out of this slump, we'll likely stay out of it for longer too. Compared to like.. Vegas, who are already trending down cause they went all-in / win-now every years completely disregarding the future. They are systematically setting themselves up for a long long stretch of suckness Also his name is "Nemec" lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 The best part of all of this is you could change the names and it would be EXACTLY what would have happened if we took Makar in 2017. Two people said we should. We skipped over the consensus guy we should have taken (Wright). We drafted a defenseman with a high pick. Only difference is that we’re better situated offensively right now; the meltdown would have been worse in 2017 because we needed offense desperately. I’m not saying that Nemec will ever be Makar, but the irony in tonight’s reaction is amazing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both him and Slaf looked great in that tournament. Look if he pans out into the elite NHL player people are making him out to be then I'll donate 100 bucks to this site. Right now, to me, he looks like a guy who's too talented to be playing in the subpar league he's in. I did see his play at World's and while it's exceptional it still doesn't mean it translates. World's, other leagues are miles below the talent in the NHL. We'll see in a couple of years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
