Miscellaneous NHL Discussion LX: Covid Cup II nears its finale

I need the name of a player or two who is an analytical standout, but wouldn't necessarily move the needle on an eye test - someone who does a spectacular job (any position) but doesn't seem spectacular. I am not being sarcastic for once - I'm legit curious.

I was not tagged and therefore withdraw my suggestion in an attempt to show my displeasure

Is Pronman’s latest 2021 NHL draft rankings as bad as can be expected?

He has your boy Morrow at 93.

Power in his own tier at #1.

Guenther in his own tier at #2.

Generally baffling tool grades that are contradicted in his write-up.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Do you mean.....available players? Like trade/free agency?

No, just anyone.

I love the report that Buffalo is expected to own two top 10 picks this draft. What a draft to own two! Owen Power and another top 10 pick will turn that team around for sure.

I'll add some names, more depth than top end.....

Defense: DeMelo, Cernak, Hague

Forward: Craig Smith, Aston-Reese, Coleman

I really hope Svechkov falls to Carolina. Having Svech Squared would be fantastic.

That would be a commentator's nightmare.

I just realized who I have been reminded of all this time with the splaining: Buzz Killington. lolz. Lorne Splainington.

Always. Gets worse every year.

They could get the third one put of Detroit just to recreate the staal farce.

We should trade for Tyler Myers and Nicolas Hague.

Myers-Myers
Hague-Hagg

Poor defensively

 

[Magua]

I think Luke Hughes is an 80 tool physical player. Definitely very average in skill and hockey sense though.

 

[DancingPanther]

Goalie interference hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Absolute dogwater by whoever hit point into Varly. That’s a room temp iq play.

 

[TCTC]

Poor Point. Gets cross-checked into Varlamov, gets jumped by an Islander, and is the only one to get a penalty lol.

More like shoesize IQ

Pelech I think it was. Of course they score on the ensuing PP. This league

 

[GKJ]

How the hell is Point the one penalized for that?

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

That was ummm a bad call

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Also, all penalties should be reviewable, giving point a gi call there is also dogwater.


And of course the Islanders score. Gg refs, you f***ed the dog.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Of course they score
