That list is about exactly what I’d say the Jackets should use as a guide for their first pick. Although, I really don’t know who’s better, Will Smith or Leo Carlsson. Both fit our needs for big two way centers, so I’ll let the professionals make that call and wouldn’t complain either way.
This comment from the article caught my eye:
“*One scout said he believes Fantilli is closer to Bedard than the other three top prospects — Smith, Carlsson and Michkov — are to Fantilli.”*
Smith has really started to gain some traction lately.
We know who we’d take if we wind up anywhere top 3. But the real question is do we pass up Michkov for Smith if we drop to 4? I kinda hope not, but it wouldn’t blow my mind if we do.
