2022 NHL Entry Draft 12

continue.... 2022 NHL Entry Draft 11



We need a top 6 C and top 4 RHD prospect depth.

My perfect draft with the first 3 picks is simple, and I think we could make it happen without trading up if we are lucky.

I'd go with 2 "safe" picks, and one homerun try.

1. #1 OA : Wright (surefire top 6 C)

2. Late first (CGY pick): Luneau (surefire RHD NHLer)

3. #33 OA: Rinzel (6'4 RHD that skates like the wind but plays highschool right now. Boom or bust.)

Would be a heck of a draft.

Then your under 23 y old D depth looks like:

LHD: Romanov, Guhle, Harris, Norlinder, Xhekaj
RHD: Barron, Luneau, Mailloux, Rinzel, Sobolev

Decent.

Any chance Brad Lambert slides to 33? I would select him and convert him to the wing.

 

[Jabba11]

Brad Lambert will not fall to 33. If anything, he might be top 10 pick. I don't think we'll have a chance at him.

If his dad is such a psycho why bother at all... definitely not a headache we need. Plus there is plenty of talent.

Agreed. He's not going to be available unless we trade up. I also don't think that's a bad thing for us. I'd rather steer clear.

I feel in a re-draft 5-6 years from now Wright may not be #1 but he’s the only one guaranteed to be in the top 5. Would you prefer to draft a guaranteed top 5 or risk a homerun whom may flop?

 

[tooji]

so based on those stats we have about a 26% chance of not hitting an NHLer (or 74% chance of hitting) with our late first and 2 seconds. This is also probably better given our first second is pretty much a first round.

calc: (1-0.44)(1-0.3)(1-0.3) =~ 0.26

I prefer we trade our 2nd and CGY 1st to get into teens if possible

based on the odds you shared it wouldn’t make logical sense for the other team to accept that but who knows. We would need to include our other 2nd for the odds to even out

Teams that want to stock the cupboard with more depth or who have targeted multiple players they think will still be on the board or GMs like Bergy who want 'more darts' would consider it.

Didn't realize Slafkovsky was 6 ft 4 220 lbs. Damn.

With the skills he has shown, I would seriously consider picking him up over Wright.

 

[CrAzYNiNe]

While I can appreciate the information. I feel this draft is going to be absolutely wacky. Between a lost year of junior/weird progression for some players. The war in Ukraine absolutely killing the value of certain players.

That said, if the Habs can find a way to trade into the top20, that would make me happy given this chart.

As long as you just consider, but don't do it. Thank you

Top 5??!!
PPFFFFFF TRY CONSENSUS #1 fools!!!!!!!11111

If he is available with CGY pick I don’t see us passing…

 

[KevSkillz4]

The player who really intrigue me is Ivan Miroshnichenko... he is going to be available with the CGY pick? If yes, i really hope Habs draft him.

Maybe at that height he miss some oxygen because this guy has no IQ

I wonder if Seattle reaches for Kevin Korchinski, who already plays in Seattle for the Thunderbirds?

Mitch Brown really likes him. He calls him the most dynamic D in the draft. He's ranked 10th in majority of lists, so a claim at #4 would be a good jump, but not huge.

You have to think that: Wright, Slafkovsky & Cooley are going 1-2-3. That leave the D of Nemec & Jiricek, but if you think Korchinski has higher offensive upside than either ....

4. Seattle: Korchinski
5. Philadelphia: Nemec/Jiricek
6. Columbus: Nemec/Jiricek

Korchinski definitely has high quality offensive game, but his defensive game isn't quite there.

He didn't do much tonight versus Kamloops. Seattle won though, so they'll tie the series.

Tough to take him over Nemec, but over Jiricek wouldn’t be crazy IMO. He’s definitely high upside.

 

[Slafkofield]

Any updates on Miro? He posted a pic today. Still hoping we take him with the Flames pick!!

Lol - let's not push it, he's a young man playing the world championship, so he has plenty of IQ. Is he special in terms of IQ, no, but come on.

Agreed. What I said about Slaf is that he's clever, but has things to learn about the game. This was interpreted by some as meaning that I think he's a clinically certified moron. But what you see in this WC versus his play in, say, october, is more and more basics coming into focus in his game.

The best argument for Slaf is the progress he's made this year, but that gets drowned out by mouth breathers beating their chests with ''I hAd HiM 0Th OveRaLl SiNcE hE waS 12.''

How do they define "NHLer" and "star"?

Yes me too
