Seider?!!!!

Ha.  Hasnt played an NHL game yet.  He could be Jakub Kindl part 2 for all we know.

Was it Smith or Kindl that Babcock said "was the best player he ever had to send back to the AHL"?  lol

[Scott R Lucidi 675]

Im excited about Seider too, but gonna at least wait til i see him play in the nhl before i call him the Perfect German.

Pronman just released his 2014 NHL re-draft.

Larkin came in at 4th overall, behind Draisaitl, Patrnak, and Point...

Dylan Larkin, C

Then: Larkin was a tough player to evaluate in his draft season. He was the USNTDP’s No. 2 center. Its top center was Jack Eichel, who had first-round picks Sonny Milano and Alex Tuch on his wings. Larkin opened the U18 worlds playing between Anders Bjork and Ryan Hitchcock. I knew plenty of scouts who loved Larkin because of his great speed, compete level and how he drove offense without elite linemates. I had questions on the skill and offensive upside.

Now: Larkin has emerged as a true No. 1 center, logging huge minutes for the Red Wings the past few years. The physical tools he always had are still apparent, but his skill and particularly his offensive IQ were better than I thought, and it resulted in a top offensive performer even though he’s having a bit of a down season in 2019-20.

Fabbri came in at 27th overall.

Yup, and just turned 24. He's only going to get better. I think he'll be in the top 15-20 center conversation in the next few seasons.

Isn't Pronman the same half-wit who barely put Seider in the 1st round? Guy's a joke

I checked. Pronman was indeed that very same half-wit. Therefore anything he says is basically retarded. Including this piece on Larkin.

You are indeed the same half-wit that said that Zadina is be a bust. Therefore anything you say is basically retarded. Including your take on Larkin.

But Zadina is a bust.

Based on JEDI being online and how the Diversity thread is going this will probably be my last post. See ya on another account brother.

You'll be singing the same tune once said folks snub Seider of Norris votes every year because he doesn't score 60+ points. 

Seider on pace for 50+ pts in his rookie season. Kids gonna be posting 70 pt seasons like next year. 

Your logic wasn't bad, but you doubted Seider. Classic mistake.

Seider is NOT Jakub Kindl.  3 games of average Seider is better than Kindl's career highlight reel.

You had Seider pegged as a Chelios/Pronger/Lidstrom hybrid. Lets wait until he is winning multiple Norris trophies and other hardware before the "I told you so".

Ask Justin Verlander, he had the exact same surgery a few year ago.
