Not really expecting many fresh thoughts until maybe after Bob McKenzie drops his final rankings next Tuesday, the 28th. If he doesn't have Wright @ #1 things will likely get even more crazier in these draft threads.2 weeks today!!

I'll be watching the draft from Vienna, Austria
I'm wondering if I should take the train to Slovakia and go crash Slafkovski's or Nemec's draft party?
I quite enjoyed my little trip into Slovakia from Vienna.
I'm planning to do it - any fav spots in Slovakia?
(In Zagreb right now - loving the Croate, wish they had good hockey 7 feet hockey players lol)
In Budapest tomorrow for a week, then Vienna, then Munich
We focus a lot on past failures for picks at certain numbers *cough cough* the dreaded 3 hole, so figured I'd try and give us some good mojo heading into the draft with the best picks at our current slots - bar is set surprisingly high (N/As either never picked or busted hard)
1. Lafleur
26. Claude Lemieux
33. LeClair
62. N/A
66. Ryan White
75. Beauchemin

130. N/A
162. Markov
194. N/A
216. Ryder
Just need to nail this all in a single year
Same guy who did Wright v slaf. Cooley actually does better than Slaf does. Although there is some skepticism as to how Wright's stick handling grades higher than Cooley's
I don't understand these metrics. 61% of what?

Scouting: Shane Wright or Juraj Slafkovský?

I guess for Shane Wright's stickhandling they really value his underhandling, whereas most fans value overhandling.
Makes sense - I just value the capacity to do it and bring it out when the situations call for it (like Kucherov). Overhandling like Drouin and deking yourself into a corner every play has no value at all.
I believe Cooley has the capacity to scale it down as that's the style he played early in the season.
I also believe Wright is smart enough to learn how and when to use it, he did it more in his first OHL season.

It's interesting to see Wright below both Slaf and Cooley for defensive play, I find that to be one of his strengths.Scouting: Shane Wright or Juraj Slafkovský?

The article seems to point to the Kingston defensive system as a whole for this low score though. I wonder if this model is showing more of a team stat rather than individual stat for defensive play?
Did some diving off the island of Vis and another trip to play rugby in Makarska. Absolutely gorgeous Croatia is definitely underrated!I'm planning to do it - any fav spots in Slovakia?
