Here's what Mitch has to say to the fellow 4th overall pick:
"He's a great kid. An extremely hard worker, takes a lot of pride in his craft both on and off the ice and I think everyone could see that there was some frustration out of him. So I just wanted to text him and say, 'Hey, 4th's a nice pick. Nothing wrong with going 4th.' Now it's an exciting opportunity for him."
- Mitch Marner
Guess who else went 4th overall? The best dman in the league Cale Makar!
