Future kid line (THIS SEASON) yes they will make the team - Virtanen - Horvat - Shinkaruk
lol a couple kids coming off surgery jumping straight to the NHL? Colour me doubtful.

I think Horvat makes it, and I think Shinkaruk is better suited starting in the AHL. Having a true offensive call-up would be fantastic when the inevitable top-6 injuries occur.

I wouldn't be upset with Virtanen at 6, but I could be convinced to draft Ritchie and Nylander also. It's pretty wide open after the consensus top-5.
Yeah it's of those 3 - Virtanen, Ritchie or Nylander.

Saw an interview of Ritchie at the combine. He looks like a giant version of Tootoo. Looks tough as nails, says Lucic is his idol. Hmmm, I'd be very happy if we get him at 6. A one two punch of him and Kassian? Look out L.A. Then draft Hunter Smith in the 2nd. Apparently Smith and Ritchie had a pretty good scrap this year. If we can't beat them with skill we at least become a team nobody likes to play

You don't go from a naturally inherent RNH bean pole to a naturally big boned 195 lb Bo Horvat in some sort of miraculous DNA bone mass shape shifting that turns you into a natural born that way stump like Domi or Smyl unless you make like SOB and hit the Roxy on a regular basis or Roid up, give your mullet a shake.

I was just laughing that you told Shopping Cart to give his mullet a shake. I’m pretty sure he rocks braids
