Thorny Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 So Casey Mittelstadt did one bench press and zero pull-ups. This years Sam Bennett ? Aside from anything projection related, how the hell does a fit 18 year old kid not manage to do 1 pull up? Holy heck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3putt Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 He was also 2 inches shorter than listed. Drop baby drop! Ditto. Saw him post HS season. He is strong on his skates and reminded me a lot of Matthews in the way he finds open space where there is seemingly none. He'll get stronger as a Gopher. Would love to add this kid.

Yea he was listed a hair under 6'2, and measured in a hair under 6'. Ditto. Saw him post HS season.

Are scouts dumb enough to let a few measurables drop him? I know NFL scouts are :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I'll go with $50 Canadian if I lose. If I win you go $40 American? I think that's roughly equivalent? Or just go $50 Canadian if possible lol Sure. www.plymouthcrossroads.org for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know NFL scouts are :lol: Cool, he's 6' that's fine. Scouts are very dumb with measurables. A certain defender comes to mind. In 2016 the jets drafted Logan Stanley at #18. His production in juniors says he's a long shot to be much of anything in the NHL. So why did they? He's 6'7" so he's gotta be good right?? I bet money someone in this draft slides because a few other guys are "big". Big only matters if it first can skate and second can score.

Sabre fan Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 just reading where a prediction of the draft sees us taking Timothy Liljegren.

Crusader1969 Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 If Makar and Heiskanen are gone, im now leaning Owen Tippett with the 8th pick. he will drive scouts crazy with his one-dimensional game and his lack of effort without the puck but he can score like no one else in this draft. Here is one qoute from a scout :" without the puck he is f'n useles..but...he scores goals...big goals." When we get to the 8th pick in this years draft you arent going to find a guy without warts. This guy has a chance to be a star and worth the gamble IMO. Liljegren to me is a bigger risk to me to be a bust. Take the goal scorer and draft two Dmen in the 2nd round.

I'm gonna think out loud before I really respond. So if Makar and Heiskanen are gone that's 2 picks plus Hischier, Patrick so 4. Then you have Vilardi who I can't see not going before 8. That gives us 5. So then we have to figure out the remaining 2 guys. Cody Glass I think will be one and then I would say Liljegren or Rasmussen. So that brings us to pick 8 with Makar, Heiskanen, Hischier, Patrick, Glass, Rasmussen and Vilardi all taken. So your options at potentially will be Liljegren (I think vancouver takes him and I think Heiskanen goes to Dallas but we are using your premise for argument sake) Mittlestadt, Tippett, and Pettersson. I would probably put them in that order. I don't hate Tippett but whenever he is on the ice you basically are playing a man down unless you have the puck if the reports are accurate. That won't fly well in todays NHL. I would really rather take one of the guys I have ranked above him or I can be convinced to play it safe and take Pettersson. Tippett and his lack of defense is a real problem for me personally when I think about a successful team. That said I think the real decision we will have is does Arizona take Makar or not. I think he could be there at #7 and I am not sure what they will do. They took Clayton Keller last year so I could see them taking Makar but idk, if Glass or Vilardi or Mittlestadt is there... hard sell for me but they could. I think Heiskanen to Dallas and Liljegren to Vancouver are likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 (edited) Exactly....... Hahhahahaha, ya I guess it's Karma coming around? Nah, Eichel gives us that little extra that they don't have. Let me take a look at Arizona and try to guess who they take. Right now I feel good about: NJD - Patrick Philly - Hischier Dallas - Heiskanen Colorado - Vilardi, this may be wrong but they could use him at RW which is where I think he ends up Vancouver - Liljegren, that's the rumor and for now I believe it Vegas - Glass. I think they take a forward and I would guess center Arizona - let me think on this... Buffalo - depends on Arizona Edited June 6, 2017 by LGR4GM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they take a forward and I would guess center Arizona - Mittlestadt or Makar Buffalo - Makar or Mittlestadt - I think that this will be a coin flip. Arizona is using some advance analytics to make picks. That has been obvious when they have taken Dauphin, Dineen, Keller. I think the knock on Makar will be his age. Mittlestadt however is not much younger. It really depends on what Arizona thinks of these two players. They could use another top forward in the system. There is more defensive depth in this draft then forward depth IMPO. Idk it will be a hard call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
