To people who know what they’re talking about, unlike people with no knowledge like Lagoon , Svechnikov is far and away the clear #2

But thank you for posting this link in support of Svechnikov. Just so you know, the poster you want us to blindly follow admits that he doesn’t watch the OHL (Svechnikov) and only watches the Q (Zadina). He rountinely wants others to post about the OHL, so he can learn. He calls Zadina unbelievable, which I agree with. He also says that in no way will Dobson get drafted before McIsaac. Wow. I suggest you keep reading. I will be going to see my roughly 20th 2017-18 OHL game on Monday. I have no issue with Svechnikov, never have. He’s a beast. He didn’t have a good playoff however. My only issue was you pretending to know of a consensus difference between Zadina and Svechnikov. You are an arrogant poster that actually knows very little. It is why you are here trying to bully your opinion on others. People will have a good long post of opinion and you will respond with one sentence disputing a simple thought that Gagne could surprise at camp next season. Carry on being you. I will be here to call your Dung out.

Lagoon wrote:My post questioned a continued assumption that someone knows for a fact that there is a distinguishable #2 prospect in the upcoming draft. He tried to cite a random poster that he himself admits that he doesn’t watch the OHL. If you want crap shoved down your throat, I’m sorry for defending your taste buds. Also, I thought the only opinion that mattered to Ev is Bob McKenzie’s. That list isn’t out yet. Many others are. So why is this random poster from a site he has bashed, now enough to call my knowledge as void. I’ve watched Svechnikov live 4 times this season. I love him. But I’m not going to pretend to know that he is better or worse than Zadina, who I’ve only seen on TV, watched online and read about. I’m not going anywhere.

Meh, not really. 11 more days until the lottery. IIHF World Under 18 Championships starts tomorrow to get a final look at some of these prospects. Too bad Dahlin isn’t playing.

Dude, ever hear of the high road?  Ever hear of taking it?  Ever hear of treating people the way you want to be treated?  C'mon.

I tried to report his post and nothing got done about it. Therefore, apparently, insults are fair game even though all I did was once again, show him where he confuses himself. Doesn’t matter anyway, he said he is done with the site and we all know he wouldn’t ever contradict himself.

Lagoon wrote:This sucks. The Barrie Colts are trying to keep Svechnikov out of the Under-18’s citing a shoulder injury. That would really suck for many reasons. I’ve watched Svechnikov many times this season in Barrie and once in Hamilton, but what I really want to see is for the first time, if he can actually dominate against his elite peers in International competition. He has been less than impressive during top International competition to date. Also, the wrist injury at the start of this year may have been a freak accident l, but it was still a hockey play and now he has an apparent shoulder injury as well. Are injuries going to common with him going forward?
