Lucky bastard.

2021 NHL Draft | Prospect Analysis: Zachary Dean – LHJMQ

 

[Goulet17]

Has Cosentino released his final mock draft? He has tended to be very accurate the last few years, although the Avs seem to pick right from MacKenzie's final rankings.

 

[RockLobster]

The Avs seem to pick whoever has a really good U18’s and/or WJC.

I’d like Samoskevich. I’d also be fine with L’Heroux but boy would he need to tone down some of the shenanigans

 

[Postanin CB Ting]

L'Heroux would be deecent if he could be more Lappy less licky brad

 

[Papa Francouz]

Gimme Mack or one of the Zachs.

This struck me as odd!

This might honestly be the draft I know the least about since I started more aggressively following hockey back in 2009.


Who do people like for our pick, assuming we hang onto it?


I'd like to think we go with a Forward at the moment. Since I'm only confident at this point in Newhook being a Top 6 forward of our prospects. Mind you we don't have a lot on the defensive side with huge upside either but we also have 3 very good NHL Dmen already, plus we do have Byram, Barron, and Helleson at the moment.



Who knows what the cupboards will look like in the next 24 hours but right now I like either the best available forward in the draft or possibly even taking a Goalie.

He's saving face. A bunch of teams have already put him on a do not draft list even though he's a late 1st/early 2nd level of talent. This way he can clean up his act and prevent scorn on an org that takes a chance on him.

I want the pick traded for a player that can help now and over the next 3ish seasons.

Bad event, but pretty mature response by him. That's the thing Miller should've done, take the negative event and put your control over it so it doesn't reach the level it did against him.

If Cossa is available that would be a solid play.

He pulled out of the draft the day after the victim gave an interview just saying she wanted a heartfelt apology. This is him saving face. The right move, but saving face.

We want Cossa! We want Cossa!

It's long overdue for this team to have a really high end goalie prospect. A good young goalie on a cheap ELC/RFA deal could be the key to extending this teams window in 3-4 years time.

I look at Tampa Bay and how Vasilevsiky hides practically all of their deficiencies and that is what I want.

Cossa is actually attainable my friend.

Come on…Cossa is no Vasy. Athletically, Vasy is in a completely different tier.

 

[henchman21]

Come on…Cossa is no Vasy. Athletically, Vasy is in a completely different tier.

Purely athletically, Cossa is the most athletic goalie since Prosvetov in 2018 and I'd say it is a coin flip between them. He's surely top 5 in the last 10 years in that area. He's huge and incredibly quick. One of the best skating goalies period. I wouldn't say he's far off Vasi in that area. Vasi is quasi generational because he combines that athleticism with a very structured and technical game. Cossa isn't even close there. He's got 3-4 years of heavy work to get the technical part of his game down.

Which is why I want him.

You can take an extremely athletic goalie like Cossa and get him to improve that structure and technical ability.

You can't take a technically sound 18 year old and magically make him more athletic.

2021 NHL Draft will be held virtually over two days. Round 1 will take place at 8 p.m. ET on Friday, July 23 (ESPN2, Sportsnet, SN NOW, TVA Sports). Rounds 2-7 will begin at 11 a.m. ET on Saturday, July 24 (NHL Network, Sportsnet, SN NOW).

 

[McMetal]

I still think Cossa will be gone long before Sakic takes the stage. He's too good to fall almost out of the first round. My guess is he and Wallstedt are both gone before the teens are over.

Maybe his technique highlights Vasy’s athleticism even more, but I just don’t think they’ll ever be in the same tier IMO.
