Let’s talk about: Wyatt Johnston

[Nicko999]

I am so jealous of the Stars. Best drafting team in the league AINEC.

 

[Coffey]

it pisses me off that Dallas is so efficient at drafting

Imagine being an Oiler fan and see their drafting.

 

[Hull Fan]

He has sick hands and a great shot. Add to that his willingness to drive to the net and his relentless puck pressure and he's a beast in the offensive zone. He and Stankoven were just absurdly smart and quick on Benn's goal last night. His short side goal was beautiful too.

A full season with Stankoven as his linemate is only going to help too.

lol Really? I'd wear it if I lived in a futuristic dystopian city!

Dunno looking through the crowd at a Stars home game makes me think the jerseys are pretty popular . Some people just REALLLY hate them and are pretty vocal about it. I personally really like them.

Also worth noting that Wyatt average's 16:55 TOI and plays on the second PP. The way Wyatt plays, I could see him as a future Selke nominee. Very excited to see how Wyatt progresses in the future.

He would already be P/GP+ and their top scorer if he and Hintz exchanged spots.

Being good isn't enough to draft Johnston and Stankoven that year. They were lucky & good.

Oiler scouting can't hit on a draft pick outside the top 10.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Whoever is in charge of Dallas' scouting needs a big raise.

HF posters: "Any pick after the top 20 isn't worth much. Chances of that player even being a 4th liner is slim."

Dallas head scout: "Wanna bet?"

Three years ago everyone on HFBoards said Dallas was dog shit at drafting, we would be in the conversation for worst drafting team. I can appreciate a lot of the talent lately but peoples tune changes so fast.

And even then...

Hockey is a "what have you done for me lately" kind of business, Mr. H.

 

[McShogun99]

And even then...

It's like an 80% success rate drafting in the top 10......

Yeah for the first couple years of the Nill tenure the team drafted tons of huge lumberjack-type guys with above average to good skating for their size in the hopes of them figuring out the other parts of playing organized hockey and it pretty much only produced Hintz.

20yo 30 goal scorer heading to the playoffs with ZERO pressure on his shoulders. Stars are very blessed. WHEN Stars - Av's happens it's must see tv.

Season series between the two teams wrapping up late on Sunday night, in Colorado......Avs going for the season sweep.

After that, seems pretty unlikely Winnipeg leapfrogs both teams for tops in the Central so these two probably won't meet again until the 2nd round.

 

[Hockeyville USA]

And to think this guy was in Canada's bottom 6 at the 2021 u18 in Frisco. Just incredible growth every single year from him
