[Canovin]

Should add Newhook.

 

[Johnny McBravo]

Krebs may be the safer pick, but Zegras has the potential to be a threat as our future 2nd line center.

 

[McDNicks17]

Should add Newhook.

Yeah. I think I'd take Zegras and Newhook over Krebs.

 

[Stud Muffin]

Yeah. I think I'd take Zegras and Newhook over Krebs.

That’s how I’d have it as well.

 

[McDoused]

This is a close one is too close for me. I think Zegras has the higher ceiling but Krebs is more likely to reach his.

I think Zegras is the BPA but also want to build around Krebs leadership and character.

I'm happy with either.

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

Krebs because his name sounds like a good villain name.

 

[Canovin]

Krebs because his name sounds like a good villain name.

Newhook sound pretty bad *** to me. Sounds like Tyson's son or a boxing legend

 

[The Nuge]

I’ll fully admit I haven’t watched a minute of their games, so I don’t have a great grasp on them, but Zegras’ highlight reel scares me. It seems to be a ton of low speed dangles that work at the lower levels, but not at the NHL level. Best case is the puck gets taken away, worst case is you get obliterated. But again, I’m just going off of highlight reels.

Krebs seems to have a lot more of a pro game.

Should add Newhook.

This is the wrong answer.

I voted Zegras, but now I think it might be Krebs. Did a lot on a bad bad team. Has a high motor.

 

[Favin]

Which prospect would you take at #8?

No doubt, take Zegras if he is available. He could go between #4-7, so it may be moot. Krebs or Newhook probably more realistic decision to make.

My top ten: Hughes, KK, Byram, Turcotte, Boldy, Zegras, Podkolzin, Caufield, York and Newhook. (Krebs is 12)

Been trying to make a top 15 list ALA the old https://www.hockeysfuture.com/prospect-rankings/. This is a BPA list, not what I think teams should or will pick. I've had limited time to watch some highlights and read about prospects but so far this is what I've got. List subject to change with further "scouting".

1. Hughes (9.0) B
2. Kakko (8.5) B
3. Byram (8.5) C
4. Turcotte (8.5) C
5. Podkolzin (8.5) C
6. Boldy (8.0) B
7. Caufield (8.5) C
8. Broberg (8.5) C
9. Cozens (8.5) C
10. Soderstrom (8.0) C
11. Zegras (8.0) C
12. Newhook (8.0) C
13. Krebs (8.0) C
14. Dach (8.0) C
15. Heinola (8.0) C *Just reading no video*

I have not had time to evaluate any players not on this list. With that said there is a possibility someone can sneak into it, specially in that #15 slot.

 

[780il]

Krebs is the safer pick but Zegras has a tremendous ceiling. I'm taking Trevor 9 times out of 10.

I dont get it. Dach at 14???

 

[Messrules11]

I’d take Krebs or Caufield actually

 

[Numz]

I dont get it. Dach at 14???

Yea. He did not pass the eye test for me when I watched his highlights and I combined that with reading he has a compete/consistency issue. Lastly his PPG in the WHL is not impressive when comparing him to recent past WHL players that have become "Elite" in the NHL, especially when you take into account his physical advantage of being roughly 6'4 195 pounds in the WHL.

I did this quick "scout" recently when I was very tired right before going to bed so if I'm incorrect about the WHL-NHL PPG correlation feel free to let me know what you've dug up.

 

[McFlyingV]

Zegras easily for me. That hockey IQ, vision, and playmaking ability is just too good to pass up on.

 

[nuck]

Which prospect would you take at #8?

I would risk passing over Krebs who then turns out to be Barzal 2.0 and say he may not have the finish. I would take either Zegras or Boldy instead.

Maybe you should watch Dach play first

 

[McTonyBrar]

Krebs

 

[oilers'72]

Krebs

I picked Krebs as well. I think he's being downgraded by playing for the Ice instead of a competitive team. It's tough when there were only 4 players with 30 points or more and 3 more with 20+ points. That also led to having a poor defensive system altogether if there's little offensive pressure.

Wish I had the resources and time. This was still fun for me though.

 

[Soundwave]

I haven't really seen much of Krebs so I'm not going to say definitely. What I will say about Zegras is his vision seems awfully impressive.

I think if you can pass the puck at an elite level you're almost certainly going to be a decent NHL player unless you're skating is total bunk or you're like 4'11.

Being able to pass the puck at a high level is unteachable, you have to have a "high processor" hockey IQ to do it.

Kind of sounds like Draisaitl in his draft year. Played on a poor team so Oiler fans weren't as fond of him
