[UncleRisto]

[Soli]

select forward Macauley Carson.

Still shocked that NHL Central Scouting didn't list him in their final rankings. Carson is a big power forward who was one of only 5 '99's to score 30 goals in the league this year. Usually scouts drool over that type of production from a big kid. This is especially true when you consider that the Wolves have been grooming Carson to play center (even though his NHL future probably lies on the wing). And is even more impressive when you factor in his 4 shorthanded goals this year (more than he scored powerplay goals). Carson is as complete a player you'll find available for this draft, with goal scoring ability, physicality, defensive intelligence, and leadership potential. So why on Earth is he left unranked by NHL CSS? I think it comes down to skating and projecting his offensive tools at the next level. He's definitely got some "heavy boots," in the sense that he struggles to get separation off the rush and coming off the wall. He's able to use his size very effectively at this level, but ultimately the skating will need to improve for him to be an NHL player. In a lot of ways, Carson reminds me of Nick Paul in his draft year. The same concerns were raised about him, and he's turned into a pretty quality NHL prospect.

My scrap notes for the kid: Good ES scorer, unsustainable shooting percentage, heavy boots.

Hahah, something isnt right here.

Lets see if anyone else notices.

 

[UncleRisto]

Ha, I didn't even notice that despite him being at #2 on my list.

 

[Soli]

I'm off on vacay and will have limited availability until I return. DNicks is gonna hold down the fort whilst I'm away, if any questions or issues arise, please direct them to him. I should still be active enough to make picks though, so do keep me in the PM loop. Thanks guys.

You have his name backwards, and by you I mean Soli

[Delicious Pancakes]

select from the Calgary Hitmen of the WHL C Mark Kastelic.

Next GM notified.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

With the 158th overall pick Las Vegas Golden Knights select D - David Noel - Val D'Or (QMJHL)

Noel is a smart two-way defender with acceptable size and skill, he is not flashy but gets the job done on both side of the puck. He makes good/quick decisions, moves the puck quickly and transitions quickly between offensive and defense. He shows a willingness to carry and join play, but in doing so he does not look like a pure offensive rushing type defender. On the defensive side, he rarely makes a bad decision; shows good gap control, good active stick, supports the puck well, battles and finishes checks, but is not a heavy hitter.

 

[PKSpecialist]

select from Fargo of the USHL, D, Clayton Phillips

 

[McMozesmadness]

Clock is up if I'm not mistaken.

Do we nominate or skip at this point.

 

[McDNicks17]

Yup. Feel free to nominate a player.

I have Buffalo's list for the following pick, so I'm going to stay out of this one.

Ok, I'll nominate Kevin Hancock

 

[PKSpecialist]

Ok, I'll nominate Kevin Hancock

I will second that selection as I think it is good for this point in the draft, but I would be ok with giving GrandLarseny the remainder of the day also. We are in great shape timewise in my opinion..... Dnicks call at this point though.

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

I'll third Hancock.

 

[McMozesmadness]

Alright, three is good enough, Hancock it is.

Buffalo is up.

DNicks you have a list for him right?

 

[McDNicks17]

Buffalo selects Emil Oksanen.

Could someone PM Detroit? I'm on my phone.

 

[McMozesmadness]
