Prospect Info: 2020 NHL Draft Thread Vol. 1

[FLYguy3911]

that is bad asset managment in my eyes. sure its not like homer bad. but we should have take a lot of good players with this draft picks. first and foremost with the Braun picks.

i like him but not for that price. not before the trade an not after we will make the playoffs

He can still make moves after the season to stock up again. Hopefully he takes advantage of some unsustainable performances this year.

​

Just thought it was something to look at. The picks moved were all for "rental" pieces. They are going to be a little thin in the middle rounds which isn't ideal (those picks are often used to move up in draft day trades).

The u18s could get canceled which would suck as a couch scout. Would probably benefit the Flyers though picking late in the first.

These splits are bonkers. Anyone here familiar w/ Seth Jarvis?

*The 2nd split is supposed to say 33GP*

Good lord that kid is a riser isn't he?

This kid might be in our wheelhouse (hopefully) when it comes time to draft. The other thing to take away about those stats from Jarvis is that look at the quality of the rest of his team. He has 26 more points than 2nd place on his team and is at least a year younger than the next 4 people below him in the line up (for points).

Portland has always had "A Guy" under Mike Johnston each year. He has a great Junior system.

Cant say I have focused much on Jarvis (only just about done with my Euro guys scouting for the year! Then usually shift focus a bit to CHL). But have seen maybe ~2-3 Winterhawks games... mainly vs Everett and Calgary for obvious reasons.

I do remember him being a surprisingly feisty SOB at times for a smaller guy. And a decent turn of speed too.

Similar to someone like Konecny?

 

[Chinatown88]

I don't really trust any prospect coming from the Winterhawks.

I mean, I dont think he has the skating Konecny does/did. And Konecny has better hands I guess... but he does seem a bit in that NAK/Konecny/Kase mould of a bit undersized but goes to danger areas etc.

The Chicago Steel have the top 5 scorers in the USHL. Crazy. Predictably they have a +100 goal differential in 47 games. All 5 are eligible to be selected in June.

Looks like my EHM game.

Caught a couple games last month. His 2-way game really stood out. He creates turnovers and moves the puck up the ice very effectively.

Looks like my EHM game.

Especially since "Gunnarwolfe Fontaine", "Brendan Brisson" and "Mathieu De St. Phalle" are definitely regen names.

Hell yeah Stutzle! He also seems to be meatier than previous reported.

Ridly Greig does indeed appear to be the son of former Flyer and Phantom Mark Greig.

And current Flyers Western Canada Scout.

Speaking of which, Wylie's D-partner Ronan Seeley looks pretty interesting. Some Millman vibes.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Fortunately for that kid named Gunnarwolfe Fontaine he was/is an athlete as otherwise growing up might have been tough with a name like that.

Is this a good draft outside the top 10? I hardly know anyone this year.

Is this a good draft outside the top 10? I hardly know anyone this year.

It is the best Euro crop in years.

North American analysts have been underselling the depth a bit because they did not know who guys like Peterka, Reichel, Nybeck, Hirvonen, Mysak, Chromiak, Knazko, Grans, Wallinder, Andrae, Niederbach, Johannesson etc were until a few months ago (and underrated a lot of the ones they did know...) ... and still probably dont know a few.

The North American side of the draft is a bit top heavy and mediocre after that. The Euro side means there will be some really interesting players in the late 1st and early 2nd.
