Although they then might decide that random player in the teens is really good because of the only 4 games they watched of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 Holy hell. It has only been 9 games but Dylan Guenther's PrGP is .5 higher than the next closest draft eligible WHL player. 1.667 Next closest is 1.1112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had 8 point is his first 2 games. He hasn’t been as impressive after that, so I’m inclined to think it’s a little fluky. Though he is still very good. Just more of a nice 5-10 range type of good, not a maybe he should go 1-5 range type of good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, definitely need 20-30 games before numbers start to stabilize and in normal years, I want 40 games from CHL guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rumours I am hearing about the OHL is 24 games in 48 days. That would give teams a view at the only development league not playing, but a pretty small window. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveoath Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 That's quite cool. But my knowledge pales after round one. Only did 2 rounds. I took Beniers and Svetchov. Although Red Savage is sounding interesting from the brief reports I've read. Tenacious D first centre. Low ceiling most probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French Collection Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 This list has Goalie Ben Gaudreau as a first rounder (29). He is a local kid that I’ve watched play minor hockey. Pretty good G at the junior level. Someone to look at if the Sabres have a few 2nd round picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's ok, they fudged up round 3 and don't give us any of the Montreal picks. I took Beniers and Coronato although Svetchov was my 1b to Coronato.

LGR4GM Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 This is a good breakdown and they hit on the thing I see when I watch Raty. The processing power isn't there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 Brandt Clarke was compared to Johan Klingberg by our very own Jack Quinn. Quote Question: Who do you model your game after? Answer: I think I play a lot like John Klingberg. Jack Quinn gave me that comparison and then I began to watch him more and I definitely see it. When people originally watch Dallas and they don't see Heiskanen on the first power-play they get confused (as was I) but the more I watched I'd say Klingberg is one of the best in the league in that spot. Whether it be 5 on 5 or powerplay he so commonly gets shots through to the net so effortlessly. Whether that be a big slapper if he has time or whether it be walking the blueline and pump fake as many times as it takes to create an open lane he does it and he does it very well. And something I pride myself on is not getting shots blocked and doing whatever it takes to just get the puck through so we can create danger at the net. https://eprinkside.com/2021/03/30/film-room-why-brandt-clarke-is-the-top-prospect-in-the-2021-class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 On 4/1/2021 at 10:26 AM, Thorny said: Certainly entertain the idea, yes. I’m always open to the idea and believe in it, but particularity in a weak draft. If someone ends up willing to pay the price attributed to a usual first because they fall in love with someone, I’d highly consider it I do not believe in “weak” drafts. I believe you just have drafts where there is no sparkly top prospects but these drafts always produce legitimate players once you get beyond that. Obviously if you have the first overall pick and someone calls you valuing it like a number one pick in a draft with a superstar then you could take advantage but overall I’m not a big believer in the weak draft stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rakish Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 On 3/31/2021 at 9:06 AM, LGR4GM said: I should run the draft. David Farrance, Seth Jarvis, Nick Robertson, and Brock Boeser would all be Buffalo Sabres. Jonatan Berggren as well. In all seriousness, you suggested Raty might be a reasonable choice at #3, that is less reasonable than Quinn last year. There's just going to be better talent. Well there's your first mistake, McKenzie. You gotta look at multiple lists. Berggren? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 Matt Beniers would be in the top of Draft +1 year players in the NCAA for production. Just behind Zegras, Newhook, Holloway, and Caufield. So that means he was producing in the NCAA as a freshmen they same as freshmen who were a year older than him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
