Toews, Stafford, KO, Crosby, Keller, MacKinnon, among many other played at Shattucks. Culver isn’t as deep, but Ryan Suter and Nik Dow’s played there. And none of them played their draft year in HS. If anything the small staff will hurt the 2022 draft when the HS and other lesser leagues got skipped to focus on the higher leagues for this year. Scouts start tracking players anywhere from 2-4 years ahead of their drafts. Some guys even longer (Bedard). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 The Athletic’s Scott Wheeler has released a mock where he projects who he thinks teams will take, as opposed to who they should take. I think how different it is from his own personal rankings points to the volatility of this draft. This is his personal top 10 Power (1) Johnson (9) Clarke (8) Beniers (2) Eklund (6) Guenther (3) Hughes (4) Lucius (10) Sillinger (12) McTavish (7) This is his mock Power (1) Beniers (4) Guenther (6) Hughes (7) Edvinsson (11) Eklund (5) McTavish (10) Clarke (3) Johnson (2) Lucius (8) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ash Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 I'd love it if the Sabres could come away with two picks in the top 10.....preferably Power & Eklund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 So the Panthers just let their data guy go. He worked for Canucks Army years ago and is pretty smart, I might inquire about him if I am Buffalo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friedman in his 31 thoughts mentioned a team informed a bunch of staff they were being let go, but also asked them to stay on for the draft. I wonder if it's Florida. Either way, go get this guy.

LGR4GM Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) Kent Johnson is outside my top 10. Skill is there sure but the small little things that make you actually good at hockey aren't. He just stick handles around the perimeter too much or goes inside and loses the puck. Edited June 30, 2021 by LGR4GM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t necessarily think they need to get THIS guy, but they need to get a few SMART guys. Whoever they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is evidence that is certainly not universal. I guess this guy has no connection to Karmanos, but he is certainly the type we’ve been led to believe he and Adams are interested in adding.

This is like when they didn't interview Arthur Kaliyev, it was just poor decisions. To be fair, the draft is over 3 weeks away. The draft combine, where most interviews would normally happen, is usually about 3 weeks before the draft. I don’t want to skewer them for something they might be doing this week or next week, which is fine, but if they never interview him, then yeah, that seems neglectful.

LGR4GM Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 One thing in here is that he doesn't have "breakaway speed" and that doesn't worry me at all because he played NCAA hockey at 174lbs and 6'1"... he simply hasn't gained the leg strength yet and I think he'll have a higher gear as he matures.

Flashsabre Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 Usually they talk to players at the draft combine. No Draft combine so they will set up a time closer to the draft. Adams has had some stuff on his plate. They might not have talked to any players yet. Might set those up in the next few weeks. I don’t think it is as telling as some people who don’t want Power to be the pick hope it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not have a temper tantrum like most on here will do if their guy isn’t the pick. There are options at the top of the draft and they may have multiple picks. The only guy right now that would set me off if Edvinsson because his hockey sense scares me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
