Two things that you can't just coach or develop: speed (😎) and size (😕). He's 17. If he grows a bit more, the Stars might have a player here.

I love this pick. Could be a huge steal. His speed and shooting are elite. If he can round out his game, we've got a real top 6 player here.

Thanks! Really wasn’t expecting anything exciting, but fastest guy in the draft is pretty good!!!

Hey, what did you think of the LA trade of Jordan Spense? At $1.5 for a young guy, wouldn’t he have fit here???

1. I wonder if Dallas saw him as a redundant player in the Nils Lundkvist type.

2. I think Spence is a good player Ottawa got for really cheap. Great trade for them.

3. I think Dallas is still looking for a true Chris Tanev replacement in the top four. Spence isn't that guy.

4. Spence is 5-foot-11. There were zero defensemen drafted under six feet tall in this draft.

5. I'd still have traded for Spece, for that price.
