Recalled/Assigned: Filip Chytil & Lias Andersson

[haveandare]

Makar and mittelstadt probably go ahead of him as wel

I really don't see how Mittelstadt looks better in any way. He's older and in the NCAA. He has a higher ppg .88 compared to .68 for Chytil. Obviously higher ppg is better, but if the .68 is in the AHL compared to the .88 in NCAA and the AHL player is even younger, I don't know how thats any contest.

And even for NCAA comparisons - didn't Eichel put up like 70+ points in 40 something games as a freshman? He's a solid NHLer but not an elite player yet and he was significantly more productive than Mittlestadt as college freshman.

I really don't get the Mittlestadt hype levels. Is it that he's flashy and did well in the WJC? I don't see anything in his numbers to justify the way he's regarded.

Mittelstadt got all the hype in the world after the WJC. I think someone called him the king of all prospects the other day in a he buffalo GDT.

I think that hype would cause him to get drafted over chytil.. chytil is still relatively unknown league wide.

"Cody has done some good things since signing here. We like what he brings to the forecheck and think he'll be able to create some space for the kids. He's a straight line kind of player. We also want to make sure that the kids play with confidence, and having Cody on the ice with them will do that"

They'll be able to keep them away from the Ovechkin line tonight.

Anderson should PK, Chytil should replace Names on PP unit 1.

Leave the KZF line together. Spread out the other three.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

So pumped!

Maybe if HF were doing the drafting. I think actual professional scouts and GMs (so not counting MTL or Dallas) would take the younger guy who has thrived at the higher level.

His NCAA numbers are closer to Stepan than to Eichel, who himself isn't the superstar they like to pretend he is.

 

[Griffinbw]

Anyone else really want to see Andersson on the Wing with Hayes and Spooner? Should be some interesting line combos tonight

 

[Inferno]

Tolvanen probably goes over Cyril as well.

 

[Don Chytil]

I think Andersson goes above Chytil in a redraft, don't @ me

 

[eco's bones]

They are coming from the AHL. They should've learned by now how to keep their heads up.

.....well Chytil's been rocked up high at least 2-3 times this year.

Hasn’t happened since the WJC’s, and the one in Hartford was just straight up boarding, I don’t think it’s something to really worry about

 

[romba]

Oh man more overrated-ness? Come on now.

‘Flip-for-a-3rd’ Chytil and Loser ‘head-in-the-sAnd’ersson amirite? Oh wait these guys were first rounders? Nickname cancel sorry guys.

Lol in actuality I can’t wait to see what teenagers bring to the big show!

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Lol head in the Sandersson.

That is too clever for The Mouth.

Yup, this is what I was referring too. These should've been a good lesson for Filip going forward (though it didn't help Anisimov when he came up and had quite a few hits because he was stick-handling with his head down)

 

[UnderPSI]

"4th line with McLawlz"

You also forgot to follow that up with the "usual"3rd period benching. Maybe one of them will be lucky and get 32 sec shift.

 

[Player big P]

Andersson, more like...Bad...ersson

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Andersson, more like...Bad...ersson

I'm getting tired of all this Slandersson

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Nico and Pettersson would go above him. Probably about it.

I think a redraft would look something like
1. Pettersson
2. Tolvanen
3. Hischier
4. Makar
5. Chytil

If by "kids" you mean Buch, spot on sir, spot on.

Not if you ask Devil fans, Hischier is the second coming of Datsyuk according to them.

Datsyuk is a one off. An alien.

Whenever a prospect gets compared to him stylistically, I tend to lean towards the source not being reliable.

I remember reading a story about Datsyuk playing hockey as a kid and the teams could only afford one puck, so practice was essentially a giant game of keep away if you wanted to work on any skill

 

[Inferno]

Datsyuk is good at keepaway

Never heard that before. Very cool!
