Prospect Info: 2020 NHL Draft Thread Vol. 1

[FLYguy3911]

1) Can you make him shoot right handed so he's actually a Swedish Parayko?
2) I won't get PTSD Hagg vibes right?
3) Should I take him 32nd in our board mock draft?
4) Thanks for the write ups good sir.

You definitely shouldn’t take him at 32.

Your Jedi mind tricks won't work FLYguy!

Actually I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm probably taking a forward.

Haha.

1). I can ask.
2). Nope.
3). Depends on who is there. I guess fwd will be BPA.
4). Thanks.

Cool thread on a player I haven’t watched enough to have a full grasp of his game: Rodion Amirov

Going through that, just curious, where do you see someone like Nico Daws falling in your list? He seems to be someone who would probably be taken in the 2nd/3rd round, wouldn't he?

I feel like their ranking is a little flawed but oh well, still fun.

EVERY. SINGLE. GAME.

It's incredible.

(My boy Dion cleaning up the mess though).

This exit too. Thanks for coming.

Anyone read the EliteProspects Draft Guide yet? I skipped to the do not draft portion for kicks and the report on Mukhamadulin is filled with non-stop hilarity. I’m on the EP scouts side in thinking that I have no idea what the rest of the scouting industry sees in that player besides: “He can skate & he big.” He can’t do anything else remotely well

That other defenseman has ice in his veins

He's small and people don't like his skating so he's ranked #202...for North American skaters. Meanwhile the guy that gets abused 1-on-1 every game is gonna go in the top 3 rounds.

He's not even that small... Does he lack superhuman skating that is "necessary" for relatively small players?

Shorter players generally have shorter strides which means they usually have to have electric feet to be impact skaters (think Sam Girard). But it's not like he can't pick them up and put them down when he wants to.

"Skating issues" can sometimes be more pace related than actual foot speed related. I wouldn't call him a great skater or anything and sometimes being a great skater is a necessity for a 5'9 defenseman, but I think it's good enough because of his puck skills and his ability to play fast through puck distribution. He's one of the best passers and playmakers in the class. I'm always willing to bet on defensemen that can pass. I've heard mixed reviews on his gap control, but I think it's been pretty damn good in my viewings.

Just about to post that.

Don’t think McClennon is going top 62 though.

Mavrik Bourque is my lad.

In real life sir. Get out of there with you scooping him up at 15 in the mock.

 

[x DeCruze]

What pick do we have?

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Reichel
Niederbach
Kaiser
Sebrango
Cotton

Just pick anyone I took in the mock draft so I can be vindicated.

(Goes without saying that I've never actually seen a single one of these players play before)

 

[Flyotes]

What is pick, now that the season is over for the Flyers?

 

[FLYguy3911]

I believe they will have 23rd unless they make up the rules on the fly again. Could have been 22nd if Vancouver beat Vegas which would have bumped the Devils pick to the end of the round.
