I actually watched all the games pretty closely. I hope you're right Pierre....but I didn't see any creativity in Veleno's game even though he's a very good skater. He was either totally snake bitten or he doesn't have any finish....he had chance after chance from point blank range and couldn't bury them. I was actually ticked off that Canada kept putting him out there on the first PP unit and leaving Foote, who has a rocket, sitting on the bench. Presumably because he's good on faceoffs, but he wasn't even winning those yesterday....at one point they said he was 0 for 6. He's a strong defensive player and has a good work ethic.....that's why I think he'll be a decent 3rd liner. I hope I'm wrong. It would be nice if we could get Lafreniere....he's very creative....is a good skater, has great vision and also has a very good shot. He's projected to be the 1st pick over all, which is unusual for a left winger. Ovechkin and Taylor Hall are the only left wingers who come to mind who went first over all.
