#Canucks take Dmitri Zlodeyev at #175. A feisty forward with a pretty average toolkit.
That said, I do know some scouts who really like him as a potential energy line guy down the road.— /Cam Robinson/ (@Hockey_Robinson) October 7, 2020
I suppose this is something to get a little excited about, in that it would signal that Jim Benning has learned that you can just draft guys to play on your 4th line instead of overpaying them on lengthy deals.
Some reports have him pegged as a player with high-end skill and vision, strong playmaking instincts and a quality shot.
