[anthonyyy]

I want a 3-and-D defenseman

Shutdown D with their only move on offense being a booming slapshot from the point

No real justification for the pick or passing on Savoie or Nazar. Just “he’s big so teams want him”

But we already have Weatherby.

it would be fitting if we pass on Geekie and he becomes a main piece for another teams Stanley cup championship team..

Funny in a morose way.

Paywall. Masiak has Sharks taking Lekkerimaki at 11.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Byron Bader's final ranking was released and has Lekkerimaki at 11. Also note he has Mateychuk at 5, and Korchinski at 6 so he is very high on the defenseman.

Because they are both young in the class and scored well, they both should have a great chance at being a star in the future in his model.

I would be happy with either but I like Mateychuk more

 

[hohosaregood]

I'm honestly not that interested in Lekkerimaki right now. From the stuff I've been seeing, he's primarily a trigger. A great one at this point but I don't think a guy who is primarily an F3 is what we need just yet.

I think we keep looking at F2s like Nazar or Savoie or F1s who have F3 qualities like Gauthier or Ohgren.

 

[themelkman]

Don’t know this guy well, but looks like he’s working on a new model to rank draft players based on a lot of factors. The rankings are pretty interesting

DRAFTe top 16 names for the NHL draft 2022

Note: this is a version 2 of the model and ranking, after revisiting the age adjustment formula. Last week we introduced our new DRAFTe metric aiming at projecting the potential of a prospect ahead of the NHL draft. Please remember that the idea was to project a prospect based on his draft year...

Has Salin at #11

 

[sharski]

I demand they move the draft up to be within the first 4 games of the Stanley Cup finals to maximize chaos and act as a balancing mechanism to split resources for teams that do well in the ploffs

Former Sharks' goalie son coming up for draft, as skater.

Reminder of the five criteria Sharks use to evaluate players:
1 - character ("vitally important"),
2 - hockey sense,
3 - love to play the game,
4 - accept responsibility to make the players around you a better team,
5 - perform best when it matters the most.


Now, whether or not that gets changed under the new GM will be seen.

And under Wilson Jr, I would say 6 is transition game. All of his picks have been excellent at it

Does that fit as part of hockey sense?

I feel like 3,4,5 are all part of character.

I think it's different. It's more about how they play the game. DW Jr. has been focusing on guys that have a good transition game, high hockey sense, and have good puck pursuit skills.

 

[LadyStanley]

3 is level of hockey rat-ness.

4/5 relate to integrity, to team mates, "the game", and compete level.

Character IMHO is beyond integrity, looking at how one treats folks, doing what is right.

(The main reason I believe ek9 failed in San Jose was his character. He did not value/respect the organization or team/mates, coaches enough to overcome the off ice issues he went through. Nor ask for help/accountability. )

Claims the Sharks have a good pool of forward prospects so might bolster the blue line corps with their first round pick.

Poor reasoning as one has to approach each and every draft as it best presents itself. Peters seems to be stuck on Offensive D and it seems "pundits" have them lining up abouts where the Sharks draft. The Sharks need top 6 quality forwards as much if not more

He also is smart in saying the sharks will stick to their board and not worry about need
