A damned good harvest for a player who wasn’t going to be here!!!! Jarmo A+ on this one.

Bill Armstrong gives me the heebie jeebies. The whole "we all wear the same suits" thing was really weird.

He gives off Twin Peaks villain vibes.

Army Jr looks like he’s from the cast of Mad Men

Here's a story from his 2021 U-18 worlds - Top 2022 Goalie Prospect Sergei Ivanov Making Noise at U18s

Sergei Ivanov sounds like a bad guy in a Cold War action movie. “Remember when I said I’d kill you last, Sergei Ivanov? I lied.”

here is the burning question for me. Does @majormajor like our draft more than Carolina's this year? "

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

who had idea for last pick ?

@koteka from a few days ago

Bob Mackenzie’s updated rankings are available at the draftprospectshockey.com simulator.

Here is a draft I would love. Next year we’ll draft forwards.

Wait. That pick at 203? That’s my name. Except I put the C in the middle of the word and not at the end following a comma.

I do, no more envy.

But it is funny to me how Carolina keeps drafting guys that I have much higher. And they have a certain type, they like to take advantage of other club's biases. I had mocked them taking Trikozov, Lucius, and Grudinin multiple times because they're classic Carolina type picks.

 

[NotTooWideArena]

I like that all the CBJ took several guys who bring something special to the table. It speaks well of their confidence in their core group of prospects, that they're willing to swing for the fences.

Possibly none of these young men will pan out. But if one of two realize their potential they could be amazin'.

Pretty sure jarmo is banking his whole rebuild on at least the first three being NHL players in a couple of years.

 

[koteka]

For those of you tracking people who were born in Columbus while their fathers played with the CBJ, David Spacek was drafted by the Wild in the 5th round.

You're right, I was imprecise. I meant the guys taken today. And of those, DBB will doubtless get some opportunities.

He looks exactly how I'd imagine James Bond would look IRL

Question is why don‘t you trade up and get Beck - when clearly he is worlds better than his Teammate Luca (who most likely wont play center). I am just upset just sitting there if they wanted a center - when we have players we can trade for picks . My frustration lies with not acting - I understand more than most about building from prospects and not chasing FA‘s. Just not going after a few guys who clearly have value.

I was hoping we would move up to the top of the 2nd round to get Beck but obviously that wasn't possible, since Montreal wanted him at #33. For all we know Jarmo had a deal in place to move up 9 spots to get Beck or Firkus and then both were gone before pick #35 came around.

 

[Viqsi]

Maybe the plan is to trade for bad contracts and pick up more picks? What if the goal is to ice the worst possible team and stockpile enough picks to draft a rebuild in 1-2 years?

Then they're voluntarily going the Edmonton/Buffalo route and we can confidently assume they'll be a place where talent and potential goes to die for the next decade. And given what they pulled to get those Cups, it couldn't happen to a better franchise.

Extracted profiles from all our drafted guys from the EP Draft Guide and the Black Book and attached 'em.

Note #1: If you're familiar with the Black Book, you know that it doesn't have nice page breaks between player profiles, and this extraction process was whole pages at a time, so this is going to look a little disjointed. If you're not familiar with the Black Book... well, that also applies.

Note #2: Sergei Ivanov was not profiled by either draft guide.

Hope this helps!

I would use on Jiricek and Mateychuk ¨Yzermanization¨ procedure, which is procedure of sending defense prospects to Rogle BK or Frolunda HC.

 

[Jovavic]

Looks like we traded a 5th next season to SJ to draft Ivanov in the fifth round this year

 

[LetsGOJackets!!]

Ivanov sounds Ike a steal. Comparisons to Dominic Hasek got my attention

Interesting that Mateychuk lines up on the right at even strength.

Jiricek might actually be up for it since it's better money and only a couple hour flight home. Would love to to see him in SHL. Great league and way easier for me to watch

Interesting that Mateychuk lines up on the right at even strength.

Only two of MJ's regular top-6 defensemen were right-handed last year which forced one lefty to move to the right side. Coaches in MJ probably thought Mateychuk has the most versatile toolset of all D, so I don't think that's even been a tough decision. Haven't looked it up but I'm pretty sure he played on the left at last year's U18s.

Given the depth at LD position in our system, it's good to have a LHD who can play on either side.
