2019 Entry Draft Thread Part IX

[76]

I really like his movement in the offensive zone. He's never standing still, always keeping an aggressive gap on the opposing forwards, moving into lanes, keeping himself as an option. Really smooth skater too, and he has a way of getting his wrist shot through (at least in this tournament anyways).

Fully agree. He easily passed the eye test for me, and after digging on him a little more I found those great results he had at recent combines, confirming how underrated he actually is :

Saw your post on him in the main. Will check him out further.

Becoming more and more sold on Moritz Seider by the day.

Arguably the best playoff performer of the decade has been Patrick Kane, he's not big

he's not big, but he's also not 5'6'' too. there's a point where a lack of size becomes detrimental just like having too much size is also bad. being small isn't the biggest problem in this league, but being too small can absolutely be a problem

How?

I would rather Kaliyev over Dorothy any day of the week.... Kaliyev has a terrific release... goalies can't react fast enough.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Kaliyev is poop emoji.

I might get some hate for that comparison, but Brink sometimes kinda reminds me of Desharnais.

I'm mostly talking about his only strength tho. Quick passes, and patience in tight spaces to make plays in dangerous areas. Kinda like a playmaking Gallagher

 

[Saxon]

Ya we shouldn't draft Caufield because we already have too many small guys. I'd much rather keep small guys like Peca instead of drafting an insane goalscorer like Caufield.

Yup I just smfh when I hear this garbage at this point. I've spent enough time arguing for Quinn Hughes, Keller ect. Judge the player on what he brings as an individual, not by stereo types. Small players are bad because we need dirty goals in the playoffs, and because he is small he must be a perimeter player........ From a fan base that watches Gallagher every game no less.....ffs...

An Point'esque portion.

If Boldy somehow makes it to 10-11 I would trade up for him. I've said it before but he and KK would complement each other so damn well, with both able to seamlessly adapt as playmaker or triggerman when the situation requires.

Two high IQ, puck-dominant dual threats, with size, on the same line...

 

[Mrb1p]

Kolyachonok has everything the Habs should looking for at D. Amazing kid, elite skating, smart dynamic left handed defenseman. Probably one of the most underrated kid in the upcoming draft.
I don't think he'll slide in the second round. I hope Habs find a way to get him.

Someone will have to slide in the 2nd round, and if he does, he'll be worth it. There's absolutely no reasons to go for a guy like York, Harley, Broberg in the first. GO FORWARD.

Let's d it

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Newhook is so damn good idc

Dorofeyev is right behind Kaliyev in goalscoring though.

I like Kaliyev more than most here, but it's not close IMO.

He's also reminescent of Desharnais when he used to move his feet early in his career. He created a lot of havoc just by being so agile on his skates. There's a lot more shooting power though.

Dare I say the 2020's version of Getlaf/Boldy? Two huge body that can impose their will anyway they want.

This is literally the draft to find that missing offensive piece.
Boldy, Newhook, Dorofeyev, Caufield, and even Brink can take this team over the top if they are what I think they can be.

The only two forwards in the top 15 I wouldn't be too sure about are Krebs and Zegras. Maybe Podkolzin, but the physical package is there for sure.

Let’s not put Brink and Doro in the same tier as Caufield and Newhook mkay

 

[phillytennis]

I really want Newhook... I wanted him from the start.

 

[Mrb1p]

Let’s not put Brink and Doro in the same tier as Caufield and Newhook mkay

Right, Dorofeyev would need to be ahead of those.

 

[Mrb1p]

Bolduc vs Korczak what do you guys think ?

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

lol

 

[NotProkofievian]

Now you're getting it. Let's not put any two players in the same tier.

 

[Vachon23]

Bolduc vs Korczak what do you guys think ?

I really like Bolduc physical attributes, he skate like wine and he have a big shoot. He is one of my favourite prospect in the Q.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Bolduc vs Korczak what do you guys think ?

Drew Helleson.

 

[Mrb1p]

Drew Helleson.

Wrong. That wasn't even the question.

Ive also seen nothing or very little from Helleson form my viewings. I'd much rather the 5'2 defender on tha team. Thrun is also good.

I really like Bolduc physical attributes, he skate like wine and he have a big shoot. He is one of my favourite prospect in the Q.

I like him too, and I like Korczak. Lots of "not first round" talent on D this year. It's ridiculous to spend a 15th overall on a D, except if hes special like Heinola.

I personally really like Harley but I won’t have problem with Newhook and Bolduc with the CBS 2nd pick
