I know Savoie got blown up by Lohrei and missed time, but he's had more?

Edit: just found the vid of the 2019 hit, yowzers...nvm

One against Brandon in 2019, the Lohrei hit you mentioned, and there's speculation that I can't confirm that that's what kept him out of the last few games against Edmonton.

Nemec in North America?​

Simon Nemec, No. 3 in Central Scouting's final ranking of International skaters, might be leaning toward continuing his hockey career in North America in 2022-23.

"Maybe the American Hockey League or, you never know, maybe the NHL," Nemec said.

Nemec (6-0, 190), a right-shot defenseman for Nitra in Extraliga (SVK), had 26 points (one goal, 25 assists) in 39 regular-season games and 17 points (five goals, 12 assists) in 19 playoff games. He scored the most playoff points by a defenseman in one postseason in Extraliga history.

His CHL rights are held by Cape Breton of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, and he said playing in the QMJHL isn't something he is considering at this stage.

"No, I played two years against men in Extraliga, so I think it's better for me to play in the AHL, if anything," Nemec said. "This is something NHL scouts were asking me during the combine questions, and I tell them I want to play here."

Nemec interviewed with 21 NHL teams at the combine.

"I think I'm the best defenseman in this draft," Nemec said. "I think I'm a two-way defenseman, play really good on power play, my hockey IQ is at a very high level and my skating is good. I really like watching Cale Makar, Adam Fox or Roman Josi."

Nemec wanting to play in the AHL over the Q next year is interesting.

Savoie at 9
Kasper at 16
Luneau at 28

If this is how it shakes out, what grade would you give Adams?

Depends on how the rest of the draft falls, especially at 9 and 16.

Think this will have any effect on on high (or low) he gets picked ?

 

[itwasaforwardpass]

This will raise his stock.

Happy anniversary Taro!!

It might if they think his play was a little sluggish at times, it might erase some doubts if they know he was ill. It might be a positive for him overall.

 

[Chainshot]

I'll try to listen to this later. Korchinski, Mintyukov and Mateychuk are three CHL defense who get a lot of mid-first round conversation. I'm curious to hear the interview.

 

[Fjordy]

This would probably be the best draft for me.

Draft simulator is cool but how the hell does Snug slip to the 2nd and Warren slip to the 3rd?

Dream.

Such ratings in simulator, but how the hell did Peterka get selected in the second round? I had him in the top 20, this also happens in every draft.

Good point. Snug could slip to our pick in 2nd.

I stand by Warren being gone though. He may get picked before Snuggy.

Is it normal for 21 teams to interview a guaranteed top 5 pick? Perhaps many teams are eyeing him up for a NJ #2 OA trade.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Wasn't there a prospect a while back who basically blasted a team who was drafting lower "why are you interviewing me you don't have a top 5 pick?" or something like that? I want to say Nikolai Zherdev?

I think it was Yakupov.

Well, I know it doesn't look too realistic, but it would just be something like the perfect dream draft.

Deion Sanders?

Your mock draft looks a lot cooler than my mock draft.

Snuggerud at 41 is a big hit amongst the judges.

I need to stop doing these given that Gauthier is likely to be off the board when the Sabres are actually on the clock...

I feel that way too. I keep getting a bunch of players I really like and I know in my bones that won't happen.
