weird. I thought we had no depth in prospects.

We have depth, just not EXCITING depth.

The Flyers had a franchise record 9 world junior prospects in 2017 and the most in the league that year. They may match the record two years later.

Hextall really needs to step it up at the draft table or this team has no future.

It’s great the way people around the league seem to be in love with their pool which should make it easier to make a big move (Richards/Carter trades made by Kings) when he thinks they are serious contenders.

Apparently BU & Hockey East offer a fair amount of free online streams on home games for their teams.

Enjoy!

Enjoy!

Just came on here to post a link to it. For those who don't have a subscription, I highly recommend The Athletic. Awesome article that I won't include quotes from but for reference, the top 10 that they decided on is:
1. Hart
2. Frost
2. Myers
4. Farabee
5. Lindblom
6. Allison
7. O'Brien
8. Ratcliffe
9. Vorobyev
10. Morin

Since we exclude goalies, our top nine really only differs by our inclusion of Rubstov. This means we are all qualified to write for the Athletic, yes? (Only as a group think tank though, not individually. Due dates will be murder for the hive.)

 

[Curufinwe]

I also excluded Lindblom from our polls.

Yeh, ours was off Calder eligibility in effect. So Lindblom included.

We could set something up so each worker bee inputs a word or a sentence at their whim. Kind of like that mass Pokemon game a couple of years ago.

2018 draft picks weren't included in the value metric, but we have 9 forwards on the list.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Damn, that’s our guy Ted?

 

[wankstifier]

Emmanuel Perry's twitter has some interesting tidbits. He loved Ty Smith in the last draft

 

[hatcher]

only two in that graph will make it to the bigs.

 

[Tripod]

only two in that graph will make it to the bigs.

I will take that bet.

 

[wankstifier]

At this point, all of those prospects have a decent shot of making at least an NHL appearance.

Hopefully they make impact all of them in a role.

 

[FlyTimmo]

I will take that bet.

Only 2 of Frost, Laczynski, Allison, Ratcliffe, Cates, Sushko, Strome, Aube-Kubel, Lycksell make it LMAO.

Aube-Kubel seems like a lock to "make it" at some point. So only 1 of those 8 guys make it.

Stand out players I should have put but don't care really. 5 to 8 years out yet.

his metrics were not kind to our first rounders. I believe he had o'brien as a huge huge outlier. The way he correlates leagues especially high school needs to be redone.

[Captain Dave Poulin]

In that forwards list, he has the names in upside-down order.

 

[FlyTimmo]

Cates, Farabee, O'Brien all on the same team. We have that team white left wing position locked down

Edit: Look at all those "Js". Jack, Jack, Josh, Joel, Jay, Joe, Jason, Jake, Jacob, Jon

 

[sa cyred]

Posted that in the WJC thread but I’m fairly sure that it’s just their last names in alphabetical order, even if it looks like lineups

Makes a good case for Tanner Laczynski.
