At 26th the Sens Take Jacob Bernard Docker

[yoteshot]

Solid picks guys. I do think you could have traded down to get him, but he's one of the most exciting long term projects IMO. Love his potential with the skating and the shot he has. Going to a strong program too.

Surprised nobody picked Noel, Thomas, Woo?? No love for African American, West Indian, Asian?

I’m hoping players are drafted for ability rather than race.

 

[BonkTastic]

I think the trade down was brilliant and amazing value for a 4-spot drop late in the 1st round, and I think the player is exactly the kind of kid you like taking with a second 1st rounder - a long-term piece who you can let grow in NCAA for a couple of years.

Also: call me crazy, but did I notice a bit of bells palsy when he was talking in the interview? He definitely had that "talk out of the side of your mouth" characteristic that BP people have. Obviously not a thing that will ever affect his NHL career, but mildly interesting, I guess.

 

[Upgrayedd]

No nothing of the guy but off the top of my head i hope he joins Ekman-Larsson, Nugent-Hopkins and Smith-Pelly as a successful double last name players!

Noel and Thomas project to be late 1st to mid 2nd so its not THAT surprising. And there are a lot of scouts/projections that have Woo in the 3rd round or later.

 

[robsenz]

He looks like he has some legit potential, hopefully it translates to the NHL

That makes it sound like a top 10-15 pick.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Reminds me of when we drafted Patrick Wiercioch. Except he just has much better wheels.

 

[toxic poster]

well the more i see from him the happier I get. 20goals in the AJHL and from this video they're all from him creating opportunities. he's very active in the offensive zone and loves to jump into the rush. interesting pick - i trust the scouts here.

I thought Bernard-Docker was a stay at home guy?

Not quite with only 1 excellent rating. Good to very good otherwise translates IMO to late first to second round pick.

Not according to any writeup I've seen (never watched more that a clip or two). One report I read listed getting caught deep in the OZ as one of his weaknesses.

Nice that it's for Hockey Sense, probably the most important quality in a player.

 

[bdp]

Similar stats compared to Makar at the same age in the same league. Interested to see what he can do next year. Will be a lot of guys to keep an eye on in college next year.

Maybe, but it's very encouraging that the excellent is in hockey sense and there are only two "good" ratings, both in things that can be less relevant - physical play, and size/strength. He's got high marks in the important categories. Not sure how important his"top pair" rating is at this point though.

I sincerely hope that JBD pans out better in the pros than the last time Ottawa made a reach for a UND-bound defenseman(Brian Lee) in the first round.

Wolainin seems to be doing okay so far...

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

This guy sounds excellent but I wonder if we made a mistake taking him over the high octane Berggren.

 

[BonkTastic]

I stopped regularly watching Major Junior hockey a few years ago in favor of NCAA hockey.

You'd better believe I'm going to have UND games on lock this season. Bernard-Docker and Tychonick as a future-Sens d-pair to watch all year? Yes please.

Where do you watch these games?

I catch a few because some are on. But it’s too rare for me to specifically pick a team to tune in to.

And more importantly why isn't he streaming them so we can watch too?

Internet. Lots of streaming options.

You know, I'll see if I can put together an NCAA streaming guide for the upcoming season.

Someone might need to remind me in a few months, but I'll for sure do it.
