Frank Seravalli

How's he going to do?

You know, he's going to come in there as another first overall pick.

And the smart hockey fans will probably think, okay, it was going to take a little bit of time.

He's not going to have the same immediate impact that Austin Matthews had.

Remember, Austin Matthews' first NHL game scored four goals.

That was an immediate impact.

Kind of set a high bar there.

I'm just curious about him.

You know?

There are... I'll frame it this way.

There are not always... I'll frame it this way.

There are not always the most glowing reviews of Gavin McKenna's game and his habits on the ice and his maturity level.

Although you never know, right?

You just never know.

Some first overall picks you think are going to be really good, and they're busts, and then other ones, like, I mean, you just mentioned Celebrini, right?

And we thought he was going to be a good player.

We didn't think he'd be this.

Okay, let's, there's a couple other things that we can get into the draft later in the show, but I do want to go through Jim Rutherford's

media availability yesterday um he started out by saying you know it's a really strong draft so no need to be overly upset with the lottery results um he conceded that you never really know how the draft is going to fall and he threw it out there that you know there's a lot of really good defensemen in this draft maybe one of these defensemen goes first overall um

And he said, look, regardless, it's going to be a great building block for the Canucks, whoever they pick.
