Rankings
Ranked #166 by NHL CENTRAL SCOUTING (NA Skaters)

A big younger rearguard on the Seattle club who shows a strong compete level and an NHL body. Can be strong and physical and can stand toe to toe with most combatants if he has to drop’em. A selfless shot blocker and a hard body checker who both adds and leaves a bruise or two in his quest to win for 60 minutes. Has seen power play time and has a good shot and even better accurate passing skills when out there on the man advantage. Has willingness to carry pucks through the neutral zone even lead zone entires. Needs to work on his short area burst and defensive zone diagnosis and quickness, but looks like an intriguing long term project.

There's your size and grit D, in round 6.

 

[DashingDane]

Tall defender! Must be a Stanley

 

[Atoyot]

Nope. Don't care for this one.

 

[Guardian17]

 

[Rheged]

Is big I guess?

 

[Duke749]

These last two picks are certainly projects at D on opposite ends of the spectrum.

[Gabe Kupari]

Nope. Don't care for this one.

Like you've heard of him. 6th rd pick.. FFS

 

[Duke749]

What?!?!

 

[Joe Hallenback]

He was really good as a 16 year old and he kind of went flat this past year. I thought he might have some 2nd/3rd round upside before the start of the season. Maybe he needs a trade out of there

 

[Daximus]

Tagged him as a kid to keep an eye on after his rookie WHL season. After a couple short viewings I ended up not really following up. Nothing about his game really stands out. He can do a little bit of everything just none of it is at a very high level.

 

[Guardian17]

"Doesn't skate that poorly!?!"

None of this sounds optimistic. But alas, it’s a 6th rounder so it’s a long shot anyways and maybe it still works out.

 

[Atoyot]

I have, and I've seen him play, and I had other players that I would have much preferred. Thanks for the vote of confidence though

Tyrel Bauer is an interesting bet for Winnipeg. Big, bruising D. Doesn’t skate that poorly. Some fairly high end flashes of puck moving and DZ distribution, but SEA has beat that element right out of him. Bad development situation. Needs to get in a different environment ASAP.

 

[Romang67]

Eh. We'll see. It's not like he has scored on any level.

 

[Scheifele55]

None of this sounds optimistic. But alas, it’s a 6th rounder so it’s a long shot anyways and maybe it still works out.

Quite possibly the Jets hope a change in scenery will help re-kindle his development. For a 6th rounder you swing for the fences.

 

[garret9]

I mean, I'd been stoked on Stanley if he was drafted in the 6th

 

[Daximus]

Yeah I mean upside is he develops into a Ben Chiarot. Downside is he never steps foot on the NHL ice. Not who I would have taken here but it's a pick I suppose. His last name is Bauer so that's kind of cool.

[Romang67]

Best case scenario Chevy has been in touch with Jeff Goldblum and is planning to send Johannesson and Bauer through a teleporter.

 

[bustamente]

Well he can throw them, but can he ice the puck

 

[wpgallday1960]

These last two picks are certainly projects at D on opposite ends of the spectrum.

If we can come up with a way to genetically splice them, we’ll get a sure fire #1 Dman.

Beat me to it. Now that you’ve stolen my thunder I will leave this thread in humiliation.
