Too early, I have more like a rough idea of some tiers that guys fit in. But Shane Wright would be #1.

WildCard Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) Without Wright, am I correct in assuming our 1C need for next season needs to be addressed elsewhere? I don't see anyone we have that can fill that role currently. And I can't see a trade or FA for that need, which is concerning.

There's next to zero chance that Adams brings in a C through trade or FA that's as good as the Cs here, I'd wager. I agree with dudacek when he says they appear to be rather comfortable with the thompson mittelstadt krebs cozens outlook. It's draft pending but if they don't take a C high, I don't think they are going to sweat it Edited January 5, 2022 by Thorny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't addressing 1c any time soon unless we develop our own, idk how we'd trade for 1 or if we even should. I don't think Wright would be 1c ready and I would leave him in the ohl honestly.

Hopefully we fall on one of those 7 spots. Adding a guy named “Seamus” would be great. Is this draft still being considered a strong one or has Wright’s non-incredible start taken some of the lustre away? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm this draft is already being overshadowed by 2023. I'd call it an average draft talent wise with some decent depth. By overshadowed I mean this and remember I'm not even mentioning Bedard yet... equivalence meaning NHLe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Wright would be 1c ready and I would leave him in the ohl honestly. Can't say I'm comfortable relying on Krebs/Cozens/Mitts as center going forward. A lot of unknown there and none really project to be a 1C. You can get away with that i.e. Drury/Brie, which I would love. Seems to be their plan I guess. 4 minutes ago, LGR4GM said: Umm this draft is already being overshadowed by 2023. I'd call it an average draft talent wise with some decent depth.

Maybe he even stays in the CHL for a year. He certainly isn’t dominating the OHL at this point. that being said, I have no issue with the Sabres depth chart at center at this point. thompson cozens Mitts Krebs sure they need to add to it but doesn’t need to be with the first pick. Take the best player available 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEbriate Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Is Michkov's NHLe a case of the recent prowess of Kucherov, Panarin, and Kaprizov resetting the equations it's reflecting as a temporary spike in the values from MHL players?

No. He's outscoring the entire MHL and it's not close. He has double the amount of p1/60 of anyone else in the league currently. He scored 28pts in 11 MHL games and has 5 points in 13 khl games. He scored 3 goals in 2 games at the wjc. He turned 17 on Dec 9th 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) Kucherov was in his D+1 year before he reached 2.0 ppg in the MHL Michkov is above that now in his D-1 year. Edited January 6, 2022 by LGR4GM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 I wonder if Jiricek will drop and how far he will after getting injured. Since rankings were not solidified yet, the consolidated had him at #11. Since he suffered a knee injury, we could see him drop maybe 10 spots because he will not play again b4 the draft. If he slides into that 20 range, you almost have to pull the trigger even with the risk. Nemec has a high floor with a lower ceiling and Jiricek has a lower floor with a higher ceiling. Both are good sized RHD but I would say Nemec is better in the D zone and Jiricek is better moving the puck up ice (more creative and aggressive).

LGR4GM Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Just now, Brawndo said: only 2-3, sweet. That means he will be healthy in time for the combine and draft. Might have a little of the season left too. Originally it was reported surgery would keep him out 4 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 This makes me want Jiricek a little more. He won't need to be the main rush threat when paired with Power or Dahlin but he's nasty in the defensive zone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
