Laval Rocket Thread

While most rankings had him more around 8th, most mocks recognized that he was likely to be drafted 5-8th given that he was the top defensemen in the draft and a RHD.

We got some bad luck that no teams took a flyer on Michkov in the top 4 (and they were correct).

Rushkie was only going to Philly , Habs were trying to move down from reports but didnt want to fall out of the top 10

That remains to be seen.
 
You think he'll be better than one of Bedard, Carlsson, Smith or Fantilli?

Ironically your boy Fantilli is currently the one lagging behind in that group.
I think he is likely to be better than Smith and possibly even Fantilli. I never thought he'd be better than Bedard, obviously, and he won't be better or more impactful than Leo.

Talent is there for sure. We'll see if he can adapt his play for the NHL. Could be just a 2nd year curse and he'll bounce back next year.
