Peters would never slot Aho and Svech on that high a line.

I've heard Ryan is the next William Karlsson.

Can you at least tell us if he is a source of intel or a source of substances?
He's a source of AMD.

It's DJ-Bergevin, he's proven to be generational at finding C's so I really trust his word.

This is all great, but it's a long way from "top prospect" to impact player in the NHL. These guys all have the skills to do it, but do they have the intestinal fortitude to make a difference every game. It's a decision these guys have to make. "Do I want to play regularly in the NHL or do I want to make an impact on every single shift?" By the way, if we're asking this of Svechnikov and Necas, maybe we should ask Skinner, Faulk and Lindholm while we're at it.
Maybe a source of some HQ Raleigh Meth!.

I stopped paying for The Athletic because A) I'm slightly broke and B) I have so many subscriptions, sometimes I have to cancel them all to get a handle on which I actually use. Anywho, has anybody read Pronman's prospect ranking? From his tweets, it looks like he's in the crowd that feels Dahlin is a legit generational guy and the first four forwards (Svechnikov, Tkachuk, Zadina, Wahlstrom) and next four d-men (Bouchard, Boqvist, Hughes, Dobson) are basically a tier of Grade A talent with no standouts. But I can't be sure.

A lot of people really hate his mock draft, me personally ive only seen the top 10 but it looked bad
He’s got Bouchard and Dobson in his late teens low 20s of his rankings but says they’ll be higher in his mock.
He hasn't done a mock draft. He did his own personal rankings.
Pronman said Svechnikov is his clear #2 because of his ability to score from absolutely anywhere. He also said Svechnikov was the best passer in the Draft.
Pronman was concerned about the question of just how much the 6’3”, 190 lbs NHL-ready power forward was dominating teenagers. Translateability is a question for every prospect and Svechnikov is no different. Personally I feel that guys that “score from everywhere” are opportunists/predators and that skillset generally translates better than a guy who relies on a certain aspect of his game. In the MLB, for example, pitchers are now focused on attacking batters’ weaknesses rather than pushing their own strengths. Video scouting and analytics has made this a lot easier. It’s hard to gameplan for a guy that can hit every single pitch. Svechnikov is an apex predator. Even a guy like Pronman who values Zadina’s raw offensive skill as superior agrees that Svechnikov is too productive to pass up.

Brock from Prospects Boards (OHL guy) posted his final rankings. Always a great read from a guy who watches a lot of OHL.

I was listening to HockeyProspects on NHL radio this morning and they really like Svechnikov and compare his play to Hossa. They also say that he is their clear cut number two pick behind Dahlin, with the gap between him and Dahlin smaller than the gap between Svechnikov and the #3 player.

WOO HOO. Tarasenko or Hossa or Landeskog with "more offensive skill." Does it really matter?
Let's hope the new owner/management doesn't try to outsmart anyone.
Once Necas is up an running one line will have Aho/TT the other Necas/Svechnikov. All Canes fans need to start wearing shades.

Who needs a goalie if you're scoring 6 goals per game

I was hoping I could stop, and also ditch the hooded sweater with deep pockets to keep hands in.

If anyone can give up 7 goals a game it’s Scott Darling.

Any interest trading down from #2 to #9? What are your roster needs? Are you rebuilding or or what?
