Why the **** is Sean Day trending #1 on hockeydb?

He’s good now

Why the **** is Sean Day trending #1 on hockeydb?

He does have 7 points in his last 9 games with Hartford.

 

[Ranger Ric]

May also be related to decision yesterday to grant someone exceptional status with day being one of the few granted such status.

that makes the most sense since the other players on that list are superstars but when you read sean day most people think 'who the f is that'...or one of things is not like the others one of these things is not the same...

Ehhh, it’s still close enough to his draft for people to be going ‘what’s he up to’ rather than ‘who is that?’ And Veleno is an exceptional status guy who dropped way further than he was predicted to go, so exceptional status guys are a 3 for 5 on becoming superstars right away so far

What is he exceptional at?

 

[Joey Bones]

Vita Hästen and then teams from division 1, Almtuna should breeze through it

Who from Division 1 do you think will be in that tourney?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

What is he exceptional at?

At age 15, he was exceptional at almost everything. Just didn't develop the way other exceptional status players have

 

[Ken Lund]

I get it, that was back when he entered Juniors. Too bad it hasn't worked out but he does seem to be playing better lately.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

What is he exceptional at?

Skating, especially for his size

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

I'm not sure, hockeyettan is confusing to me, but no good teams haha

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

What is the deal with Olof Lindbom? I am guessing because he is possibly busting we will waste another high draft pick on a goalie this draft.

Well, you certainly are guessing.

He injured himself in his second game and missed almost the whole year. He's back and playing in the Top 10 portion of the SuperElit and has been pretty good, but only over five or so games. Not busting, just had an unfortunate injury. Still a stupid pick, though.

He was injured for half the season, it's not hard to find that out without giving your awful guessing analysis on the situation.

I’m no fan of the pick.... but the whole busting thing seems a bit premature ...no?

 

[Roo Returns]

I've never been a Day fan but if he's playing better awesome for him, awesome for us the fans, awesome for the organization. The key is to finish the year strong and come into camp with the same level of play and confidence. Development isn't linear.

FWIW, Lindbom ended up finding a couple of games as the backup for Djurgardens despite being out for most of the year. Didn't play any games, but still warranted the call up. From my understanding, he's had some good games in SuperElit, as well. I, like many, thought the pick was underwhelming, but it's definitely too early to call him a bust.

With that said, I do expect the Rangers to grab another keeper. Hopefully not early on, though.

They will definitely draft at least 1 goalie.

I did not call him a bust, I said possibly busting.

Then everyone is possibly busting

 

[Bluenote13]

Not to harp on that horrible 2nd round pick, but....

The next goalie taken was 23 picks later.

The next 4 goalies taken were picked by teams with poor recent draft results and goalie development.

9 goalies taken in the top 4 rounds(124 players). 14 taken in rounds 1 thru 7, 15 taken in rounds 8 & 9.

I only see half a dozen goalies from this draft that have had very good post draft seasons, almost all drafted after the 4th round. San Jose 6th Rounder Zach Emond is 23-0-1 in the Q !

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

Hope we stay away from goalies in the first 2-3 rounds

Did Miller ever play again after getting hurt?

Nope.
