[DEVILS ALL THE WAY]

Rundblad has won what is considered the Norris trophy in the SEL and broke the record as the second leading defense man of ALL-TIME in terms of points. Continued it with 10 points in 18 playoff games. He also finished the season with a +5(To all those stating he is **** in defensive zone)

I said that Rundblad was a very solid player but I don't think he has the same upside as anyone that would be available at the #4 spot in this years draft. It's hard to compare a 17/18 year old over a 20 year old cause that year and half doesn't make a big difference.... it makes a massive difference.

If you wouldn't trade Huberdeau for Rundblad, I'm sorry, but you're being ridiculous. What's the two year gap you're talking about? You think Huberdeau is going to make the Devils next year if he were drafted? It'll take at least one or two years, putting him in the very position Rundblad is in. If Larsson weren't around at pick #4, I'd trade it for Rundblad without question. I'm not sure if Ottawa would.

You've been bashing Huberdeau for over a month now, so it's no surprise to see you talk that way about the kid.... and this draft is weak, really? It's funny that NHL scouts are finding the top of this draft class to be pretty solid, so I guess I'll take the word of a pro scout over a amateur.

Rundblad has put up some solid #'s in the SEL, good for him and the Senators. All I was saying is that Huberdeau can be just as good, if not better, when he'll be 20 years of age but he's currently 17 years old.

Once again, compairing two prospects that have a 2 year difference is almost impossible to do cause those years (17/18/19) are the hardest years to analyse a players progression. Jonathan was off the map last year and at the start of this year but his progression multiplied drastically and he's almost a lock to go top #3.

If your thoughts on this were the truth and how hockey actually works, then why doesn't everybody trade their prospects for players already in the NHL? Oh yeah, then you become the Leafs. Thats right.
