NHL Entry Draft 2020 NHL Draft Discussion - PART XIII [We got 3-5]

[Agent Zub]

HOLY SCHNIKES!!!! If he's like this all the time I would not be mad if the Sens picked him at 5. He could very well be the Sens starting goaltender in 2022/23 season.

I wouldn't mind taking him with our 3rd pick. He just looks special.

No doubt but he’s not going to last until then.

Of course you wouldn't. You're about the worst judge of draft picks that I've seen on this board.

 

[DJB]

Interesting but we have seen a few rankings now that place Stutzle outside the top 3. This guy has:

1. LAF
2. BYF
3. RAY
4. PERF
5. STU

He was pretty high on Raymond as most are so I think if we go with Stutzle at 3, that there is no way Detroit passes on Raymond.

Stat watchers make the worst scouts.

 

[robsenz]

This guy is just going to be a killer goalie if he pans out for a team. He really does play like Price.

Looks like Matthieu Garon 2.0

Goalie is irrelevant for me. Anton Khudobin is leading the Stars to the Cup right now. On the way to the Cup he beat a goalie that has been tossed around the league and acquired by Vegas for peanuts.

Not irrelevant just not valued correctly. Teams are terrible at judging talent. Khudobin has been the best backup in the NHL for a while so it's not shocking that can put some good starts together. I mean in like 240 career games he has a 0.919 save %.

Players with a career 0.919 save % putting up 0.923% in a playoff run is not even remotely shocking. GMs just are bad at judging goalie talent. Numerous teams should've been all over him when he became available.

0.919 is easily starter numbers

Because I said Brady was the wrong pick? I still stand by it.

There was a clear top 3 that draft.

Because I said Brady was the wrong pick? I still stand by it.

There was a clear top 3 that draft.

And who was that?

 

[Masked]

And who was that?

Apparently Tychonic (sic) is one of those.

 

[Agent Zub]

And who was that?

Dahlin, Svechnikov, Hughes were clearly on another level talent wise than the other guys.

 

[R2010]

Dahlin, Svechnikov, Hughes were clearly on another level talent wise than the other guys.

Imagine thinking there was a clear top three with Hughes in it at the same time that NHL scouts had him rated around 8th and consensus had him as the 3rd-4th best dman in the draft at the time...

Also Detroit wasn't taking Hughes if Zadina didn't fall to them either. Really clearly another level talent wise right...

Clearly. that’s why he went #7.

The perception of scouts is not a reflection of reality.

I do not see how the Senators picking Tkachuk at #4 is relevant to how "clear" the top 3 prospects were? Unless you are suggesting that Q. Hughes was, at the time, a consensus top 3-5 pick?

If that were the case, why was he passed on by 4 teams before being selected? And what is your source for declaring him a top 3 ranked player at the time?

 

[Altimus]

My choice for no. 5 is Raymond then Drysdale, then Perfetti/Rossi

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Less than 15 days... woah

A couple weeks ago it felt like the draft was half a year away...now it's right around the corner. Time has gotten really strange this year.

Well what about now? Wouldn't you say that with what Hughes has shown he can do, it puts him in the top tier of the draft so far?

 

[Sensators]

Detroit takes Drysdale at #4 and NJ wants Sanderson at #5.

Would you make this trade?

ott: 7, 18
NJ: 5, 28

Assuming that Sanderson goes at 5 and Raymond and Perfetti are to pick so guarantee you get one at #7.

I would do it anyway.

 

[Agent Zub]

i remember saying some dumb stuff about that lol. honestly i was annoyed we had taken a safe pick again, but obviously Brady isn't a regular kind of safe pick.

though i was genuinely high on tychonick. hopefully he can turn it around
