Chris Peters

you know, he's doing that.

And now all of a sudden you're like, okay, well he's six, two, he's the center.

He's got great, you know, NHL bloodlines.

He's got all these things.

So these, these new arguments started cropping up and that tightens the group.

And now you're adding another player into the mix and you're adding the defenseman into the mix.

So, you know, I think that the tightness of the six to seven guys that are at the top is, is really something where I wouldn't,

scream at any team for picking any one of those guys because it's it's it's all going to come down to how strongly you feel about that player um because this is not necessarily the time of year the kind of group where you can say i can fully put a full stamp of approval on this player i'm sure there's a lot of debates in those draft rooms in those scout meetings um about how they build the very top of their board and there's going to be a lot of varying opinions even within

you know, single staff.

So that's, that's a pretty, it's a, it's a pretty odd place to be at this stage.

I have a few like that.

I, I look kind of further down the list.

And I, I look at, you know, there, there's a player that I feel has that potential to just make us all look

stupid down the road.

And that's Wyatt Cullen.

I think that he's a player that's one of the real wild cards of this draft.

He had a great finish and not, I shouldn't say a great finish because he had his ups and his downs at the under 18 world championship where team USA, you know, got bounced in the quarterfinals, but this is a player that has such tremendous skill.

He's got a, had a huge growth spurt.

I think the reason that you're looking at a player like him and saying, man, we might have something here.

is you know he he basically grew about six inches in the last two years um and you know because of that rapid growth he dealt with injuries this year there were other things it's like okay well once that stabilizes then that becomes less of an issue and yet even though he got bigger he kept this dynamic skill that he has and tremendous hockey sense and all these different things that you think he can do and so it's a bit more of a projection but it's like hey could this guy really be like
