As I go on in this thread I cant help but laugh.


none of this has ANY meaning.

Where was appleton on this list in 2015? or even 2016?

he wouldn't have been ANYWHERE NEAR the top ten prospects....

Unless you were to spend the time to fly around the world to see all these guys game after game after game, day in day out, you can't really form much of an opinion till they hit the Moose and you finally get to see them all lined up against similar competition. Then it's still a gamble as to wether the skills they show can translate to the NHL.....

look at Lowry vs Dano vs Byfuglien.... draft order, prospect rankings...they don't really seem to mean much.

The bolded applies to all HFBoards for the most part. It’s all all for shits and giggles. Off season can get pretty lean and I don’t mind seeing how people rank our prospects.

I am sticking with my new Dark horse.......the New Kovy!

 

[Jimby]

Exactly! I also appreciate the opportunity to learn more from our knowledgeable members about prospects I haven't really seen play before.

Still Comrie

Okay.

The draft market is highly inefficient... and has a lot of room for improvement. That said, to counter the older remark that GMoney and I were commenting on, draft order definitely still is meaningful.

Yup. Every analysis I've seen shows that the probability of NHL success is strongly associated with draft pick position.

switched to from smith to green. green did play pretty good his first few games back from injury. ppg or so i recall for the first while.

smith next round.

I'm interested in why Berdin is getting so many votes already, has he been looking really good or something? Just looking at his stats, they look alright, but they're about the same as Jared Moe who is a couple years younger and isn't even on the list yet and probably won't even make the top 20.

Berdin has more goals then all the other goalie prospects combined

Goalies are almost 10% of the roster, so wouldn't you want a goalie prospect in your top 10?

Goalie prospects in the top 10 are great. What does Berdin have that makes him a top 10 prospect is what I'm wondering?

 

[Jimby]

He's not Comrie. That makes him the default goalie prospect. He can also handle the puck which makes him entertaining to watch.

See if you can find some of @KillEmAll83's highlights.
He's a confident and very athletic goalie that plays an agressive style and moves very well in the crease. (Great skater, allows him to challenge shooters) He covers lots of the net as he's 6'3, he handles the puck extremely well too. His save percentage has been good for two years in a tough league and he was not on a great team and was pelted with shots at times winning games on his own.
He has lots of potential but has a ways to go as he needs to learn not to over commit in the crease which hurts his recovery where at times he's flopping around. He needs to find that balance which he can with coaching. He reminds me of a raw and leaner Vasilevsky type of goalie. Next year will be an interesting year of development for him jumping to the AHL, I think he's ready.

Dude's got an all-star pimp walk already.

He's listed at 6'2" on Elite Prospects. Do we have other evidence / reports about his height?

I'm not sure, I thought he was 6'3. But the kid looks pretty darn big in the crease.

Thanks for the scouting report. The USHL is generally considered weaker then the CHL tho isn't it? I checked out some highlights like you recommended, and he is definitely athletic but his positioning looked a little questionable. Hopefully he does well with the Moose next year.

I guess this is it for Comrie, then? I agree, he has looked absolutely despicable in goal the few times I’ve seen him. If he’s not even going to be ranked as the #1 goalie prospect I can’t see any future for him.

Weak competition from #6 on, for a start.

Right, because our rankings will decide these players' futures. You all keep that in mind as you're casting your votes.
