[@zephyrepic]

Thanks so much for watching! We'll also be live tonight on our Twitch channel at 4 PM Pacific/7 PM Eastern to go over the checklist in general (potentially do some Group Breaks for other products)!

[@stuartperillo]

Love the format here

[@stuartperillo]

Pulled a silver outburst YG checklist tonight and another poitras. I also scored the Logan Cooley canvas YG. Really liking the canvas young guns

[@zephyrepic]

Nice! Congrats on the pulls and yeah, the canvas YGs are sweet. I'm not sure how much I like their border this year, but the photography is normally really solid :)

[@benetgladwin5490]

Really interesting analysis! Shame to see Fantilli and Cooley punted to Extended

[@JetsFlyHigh]

Winnipeg jets fly High

[@XenStormy]

Confirmed that Leo's Canvas is in Extended?

[@zephyrepic]

Not confirmed, but it's not in S2 which leaves only Extended left haha

[@XenStormy]

Oh fr? Alr thanks!@@zephyrepic

[@zephyrepic]

His only cards in Series 2 (per the checklist, at least) are his base Young Guns + all of the parallels (Deluxe, Exclusives, Outburst, etc.) and the YG checklist with Bedard and the same parallels@@XenStormy

[@cameronfullerton2284]

I wouldn't say leo carlsson's upside is limited

[@zephyrepic]

The "limited" with him means I don't think he has quite the same potential to emerge as a legit superstar compared to Fantilli, Cooley, or even potentially Benson. He's still going to be extremely good, I just think he'll be closer to Ryan Getzlaf than Leon Draisaitl from a hobby value standpoint haha

[@cameronfullerton2284]

@@zephyrepic wow, I disagree. If anything, I think he has the highest ceiling out of all of them. He has the best IQ and all the tools to put it together

[@zephyrepic]

It's totally okay to disagree! I think he'll still be really, really good and has the highest floor of them all (given everything you mentioned), I just don't think he quite has the same game-breaking tools that translate to hobby value and think he'll be overshadowed by Mason McTavish a bit. The reality is they're all super close, just they do different things well. @@cameronfullerton2284

Getting hype for this after winning the raffle for a box from yall 🫡
