Good luck to all the announcers trying to pronounce it

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Sounds like he is in town already, getting setup for the season. Makes hockey feel a little closer. Plus, Traverse is only a couple weeks away.

Lol it changed every game in the OHL too. This definitely won’t help

 

[Dynamite Time]

Would love to hear how Razor goes about pronouncing it haha.

I’m ready for a full season.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

He wont make the NHL, dont worry guys.

Pronman on the Stars prospects: NHL Pipeline Rankings: No. 12 Dallas Stars driven by Miro Heiskanen and Jason Robertson

Miro's skating: Above-average
Key graduates: Riley Tufte

WTF.

He still doesn't think Miro is an absolute elite skater, though he calls his skating "excellent" in the write up which is something I guess. But somehow that key graduate is more wrong.

 

[Smelling Salt]

Oh damn missed this on the first read-through:

5. Wyatt Johnston, C, Windsor-OHL
May 14, 2003 | 6-foot-1 | 178 pounds
Drafted: No. 23 in 2021
Tier: Projected middle of the lineup player or starting goaltender

 

[serp]

So we drafted a forward-goalie tweener ? Cool Cool.

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

I saw that, but all the prospects or many seemed to have gotten that. I think its a group or tier label that covers both.

I kinda get it. Miro is an elite north-south skater but he isn't very agile east to west compared to a guy like Makar. Walking the line or using fancy footwork to dance around guys isn't really his specialty although he is good at quick cuts in the O zone so he deserves a bit more credit there I suppose

Why is miro even being talked about in this article ?

Player Eligibility: All skaters who are 22 years old or younger as of Sept. 15, 2021, regardless of how many NHL games they’ve played, are included. Player heights and weights are from NHL Central Scouting measurements.

Tool grades: Tool grades are based on a scale with six separate levels with an eye toward how this attribute would grade in the NHL (Poor, below-average, average, above-average, high-end and elite). “Average” on this scale means the tool projects as NHL average, which is meant as a positive, not a criticism.

Skating, puck skills, hockey sense and compete for every projected NHL player is graded. Shot grades are only included if a shot is notably good or poor.

Tier Definitions: Tiers are meant to show roughly where in an average NHL lineup a player projects to slot in.

The comments are hilarious. Stars fans hold a big grudge against Pronman for his Miro takes

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

I think moat fans now think Makar should have been the no. 1 pick in 2017.

People are easily dazzled by points.
But I think you could argue any of the 3-5OA to be/end up the best of the draft.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

We need to see if Miro can take his game to the elite category. Right now I see him as a high end number one, but he doesn't exhibit elite game changing talents like Makar has shown.

 

[WhoahNow]

Not to take anything away from Makar because he is unreal, but he basically exclusively plays with Rantanan-McKinnon-Landeskog where Heiskanen just isnt put in a position to suceed like that.

Are you trying to say that Rantanen-MacKinnon-Landeskog is somehow better than Cogliano-Faksa-Comeau ???

It's so hard to tell what his peak offensive potential is. Sometimes he shows small glimpses of stuff similar to what Makar does, other times he is extremely passive in the O zone. Is it a team thing? A player thing? Both? I don't think he is as offensively gifted as Makar (it's very tough to be), but I also don't think the difference is as drastic as their point total difference. Makar should put up higher numbers throughout his career as long as the Avs keep that offense going. Hopefully the Stars can find theirs

Problem is, almost everyone on the Avs plays the style Makar does or at least that aggressive offensive style. Their team system really plays into the benefit of guys like him more than any other team in the league. He's really in an ideal spot, but props to them for that
