We definitely hope so.This guy has great stats in AHL. For his age and draft rank, he's looking like a steal. Yes or no?
appears that scout knew what he was talking aboutI wonder if there is a calculus there were you take a player with a late pick periodically just to reward the work from a scout. If I were a scout and you never picked a guy I recommended it would get demoralizing. A 7th rounder isn’t much cost to take a chance and show a guy you have confidence in his scouting.
Yes, absolutely.This guy has great stats in AHL. For his age and draft rank, he's looking like a steal. Yes or no?
Yep. Hitting in the 3rd round and later really really helps a team. 7th round? That’s extra tasty gravy.Goalies are completely unpredictable, but even if he’s “just” a quality AHL goalie, that’s still pretty valuable given the draft position. If he’s even more than that, which his numbers this season in his first year in North America suggest that he might be, that’s just gravy.
Noah Beck and Ivan Vorobyov haven't exactly been disappointing either. Still far to early to say for sure but the stats look pretty good on both of them.Yep. Hitting in the 3rd round and later really really helps a team. 7th round? That’s extra tasty gravy.
And the Blues appear to have likely hit in the 7th round 2 years in a row - 2018 with Tucker and 2019 with Zherenko.
Still waiting for Filip Helt and Nikolaj Krag-Christensen to blossom though…
