^Recency Bias, it's a thing.

That said- Jack St.Ivany, again.

Westfalt train. Choo choo!

 

[deadhead]

That's a tough one, both St Ivany and Westfall are long shots, but both have a legitimate chance.

I think it has more to do with all of them meeting or exceeding expectations in their Draft + 1. Not a single one of them had a dissapointing season.

Westfalt train. Choo choo!

This is a fitting gif. Westfalt is a dog, who belongs on a leash, held firmly in the hand of the master, Mr. St.Ivany.

I think the biggest factor is they have had minimal chances yet to ruin their reputation.

I have St. Ivany in my top 20. It's kind of weird to me to see a 6'3 RHD in the system, with very strong IQ and above average puck skill, being voted in at #25. Besides being more of a unique commodity in the system, who has a longer window to develop and not get squeezed out of a role like the 500 forwards we have set to join LHV in the next couple years, he isn't even getting that fresh 4th round bump. Then again, Kalynuk was voted in at #20, so f*** if I know. Besides a handful of 4th liners and/or potential busts, I think St. Ivany is more interesting than Ginning too, even if his skating work makes him less safe. Him hitting is more valuable than others.

For your reading perusal:

At age 16, St. Ivany attended camp with the Western Hockey League's Vancouver Giants. At the time, he was only 5-foot-9. Subsequently, he had a growth spurt and today he carries 198 pounds on a 6-foot-3 frame.

"It was tough adjusting getting to a new height and getting used to having longer arms and longer legs. I definitely used it to my benefit," St. Ivany said during the Flyers' Development Camp in July.

"I've always had big feet so getting used to then wearing big skates, I was known as slow feet, big boots but it's definitely something I still need to work on. It's something I've been working on this summer and last summer and here at camp."

St. Ivany needed a full season in USHL level with the Sioux Falls Stampede to adjust to the caliber of play in the NCAA-feeder circuit. In his second USHL year, St. Ivany thrived and catapulted himself into Draft consideration.

In 2017-18, St. Ivany served as an alternate captain and was all-situations player Sioux Falls. He played both ends of special teams as well as logging considerable ice time at even strength. Offensively, he ranked sixth in scoring among defensemen in the league with 36 points (5g-30a) in 54 regular season games. He added three more points, including a goal, in three playoff games.

I'll admit to probably overlooking St. Ivany. Especially considering how high I have Wylie and my overall love of RHD's. My exposure to St. Ivany is minimal, while Wylie I've seen a lot. Also, when reading skating concerns for a defenseman I immediately get squeamish.

Edit... Oh, and post your damn list, sir! You and a few others are slacking. *Cough @FLYguy3911 Cough*

Don't big time us.

 

[FLYguy3911]

I'll post em when we are done voting.

Ditto.
