C Hunter Strand - Tri-City Storm, USHL (2021 Draft)

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Probably a late pick. Gritty type of player who can do some of everything. Works hard, can skate, enough skill, good hockey sense. PK’s pretty well. A little under-sized for a bottom six center, but he can play wing, as well.

Everyone knows you've never watched any of these players play.

No, he’s just making threads for interesting prospects playing in the USNTDP or USHL. It really is not that hard to catch games from those leagues if you like watching junior hockey. I am confident PB has watched all of these guys.

As the resident biased Canadian, I do have to say that if his projections for these guys hold true, we’re looking at 80% of all future top picks being American.

Nearly PPG rate in the USHL, leading scorer on his team, admittedly never seen him, but wonder why he isn't mentioned literally anywhere

He’s not that good. He’ll probably be picked and could make the NHL as a bottom six forward, but I wouldn’t expect high upside.
