Who ever said he was clumbsy during the draft??? 10 times? Really? The kid has a total of 5 goals or so in the _ **minors** _ the past 2 years. Chara scored 28 in the NHL. I don’t care if the kid can skate and handle the puck better than Pavel Fucking Bure, he has yet to prove himself to be able to play in the NHL, even, before you start comparing him to elite defencemen in the league. I’m hoping he will prove me wrong, but just about every scout around the league referred to him as being a “wild card”. He’s either going to be a franchise defenseman,…or he’s going to be a faster Hal Gill. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/nhl-draft-now-the-official-nhl-offseason-thread/50350)._
