Prospect Info: Sens Board Prospects Ranking 2021 #19

[Xspyrit]

Remember to vote based on all factors and not just NHL readiness. Overall skillset, hockey IQ, upside (potential vs floor), stats, skating ability, array of shots, leadership qualities, size/strenght, age, etc

I always ask myself who would I draft BPA among these players?

Try to do some research on these kids, particularly the most recent ones. People are free to post links and videos about some of the prospects that should be voted soon, or even try to persuade others why a guy should be voted next! Spread info to help people vote.

Players from the top-30 in 2020 who have graduated since (and still with the organization) :

Drake Batherson, Tim Stutzle, Josh Norris

As we have been doing since 2004, we are going to use the HF criterias for prospect eligibility (less than 65 NHL games and under 25 y/o)

NHL Prospect Criteria - Hockey's Future

However, this year there will be 2 exceptions to AVOID massive turmoil. Like SensBrawler said to me "It's a weird situation due to the shortened season. In most years, they would have easily graduated."

So Tim Stutzle (53 GP) and Josh Norris (59 GP) are going to be considered graduated. The panel of Sens prospect polls experts think that the majority of people would still consider Brannstrom as a prospect, even though he has more games than them (63 GP), so he's going to be among options.


To be added next (ask to add if you intend to vote a prospect soon) :

Cole Reinhardt
Mark Kastelic
Jonathan Aspirot
Chandler Romeo
Jakov Novak
Jonny Tychonick
Eric Engstrand
Luke Loheit

No offense to Parker Kelly but I think he got a bit overrated.

Benjamin Roger, a recent 2nd round pick
Vitali Abramov, a skilled player with a solid resume
Philippe Daoust, a player that was on the verge of breaking out
Oliver Johansson, a skilled recent 3rd round pick
Mandolese? Others?

The lack of hockey played the last 2 years makes it hard. We have a lot less info than usual

Hard to imagine Kelly being anything more than a 4th liner, even if that could be as soon as this season.

I sure hope that Roger has more potential being recently drafted with a 2nd round pick

I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt for Roger. They have proven that they know what they're doing (ex : Pinto) even when they make "unpopular" picks

Yes, sometimes they'll miss out (Tychonick, Thomson?) but most of the time they are getting us a solid prospect. Look at recent 2nd round picks : Pinto, Sogaard, Jarventie, Kleven, Sokolov

So I'll vote Roger for that reason, because I'm very confident in Sens scouting right now. Even if deep down inside I'd like to vote Daoust, but I know he won't get voted so putting my eggs in the Roger basket for this round (don't fail me Benjamin!)

Oh, Romeo Romeo wherefore art thou Chandler Romeo from Cambridge, Ontario?
