Prospect Info: FLYguy3911's 3rd Annual (and last?) Draft Rankings - 101+ Skaters

[BigToe]

How much did you watch of Goyette @FLYguy3911 ? I didn't see enough to rank him, but I expected more from the little I did see.

(I hope I don't have to say this, but I did not think Hughes was a bust. I'm just talking about attributes, both positive and negative.)

I was ready to fight to the death before I saw this

Same. I wouldn't say he's the most physically gifted player I've seen. It's a bet on production more than anything and wanted to squeeze him into my top 32. A 1.11 PPG as a first year OHL player is really impressive (no one else was over 0.9). And the second half was even more encouraging (29 goals in last 41 games). Big production in minor hockey also. He played with Dumais at South Kent and outscored him.

He's a really good passer and playmaker with some transition upside and those tend to be my types also.

If I remember from my draft research he was injured a decent amount before the second half production boost, that could describe half the guys I drafted though so I might be wrong

Jack is such an animal. I know you know this, and no you didn't have to explain yourself, but I like watching Jack. That's it. That's the post.

It's wonderful to finally see this long overdue truce come to fruition, Jojo. Many pleasant days to the Cats

I think he only missed two games but I can't say for sure if he was injured or not.

I don't even know who Ohgren is, but I'm using the time I have before the draft to see what the hell a >45% ES Involvement rate looks like.

That sounds like something Fletcher won't value. Therefore it's a path to madness.

They could trade back twice and select Firkus and Casey?

 

[Magua]

You could probably walk away from this draft with 2 of Nazar, Lambert, Ostlund or one of the "second tier" defensemen if you really wanted to.

Trade back 4 times then trade up if they have to. Idc. Firkus or it's a failed draft

Anyone else notice how short this draft is? Everyone is either under 6 foot or just barely 6 foot. Of his top 2 tiers only Slafkovsky, Korchinski, and Jiricek are 6' 2" and over. I get size isn't nearly everything in the puzzle, but for a professional North American sport league, that's feels pretty short.

Heights get inflated by NHL teams as the prospects age, but yeah not a lot of size this year. Part of the reason why the Gauthiers of the world are getting pushed up.

Like Cooley and Kemell would get pushed way down boards 15 years ago, but I don't think anyone really thinks of them as small in today's era.

Lambert barely squeaked into 1st round

This was pretty predictable. My list isn't for predicting draft slots if that is what you are getting at.

We got a guy you liked....ok, had ranked higher than we drafted.
