Now that we are done the player portion of the draft for the most part, lets see those teams?

 

C - Anze Kopitar

C - Travis Konecny

LW - Max Pacioretty

LW - Bryan Rust

RW - Mikko Rantanen

RW - Sam Reinhart

F - Kirby Dach

F - Anthony Beauvillier

F - Robert Thomas

F - Christian Dvorak

F - Evgenii Dadonov

D - Shea Theodore

D - Ryan Graves

Prospects - Arthur Kaliyev, Connor McMichael, Phil Tomasino, Akil Thomas, Brayden Tracey

 

G - Hellebuyck

G - Georgiev

Prospects - Ukko Pekka Luokkonen, Dustin Wolf

 

Feel pretty good about how my draft went. Might have made one or two picks differently but nothing absurd. I think my only real weakness is that I didn't get into the top 3 picks of the draft to pickup a MacKinnon/Eichel/Kucherov level player. Dropped off considerably after pick 3. I was debating Marner with my first pick but opted for Hellebuyck as I wasn't sure if Les Nordekes was going to grab him or not. Rantanen is (if you squint) Marner-ish anyway so I don't think this affected me that much.

 

Most excited about my prospect picks, probably. I am certain that at least one of Kaliyev, Tomasino or McMichael will be a star, if not two. They were three of my highest ranked prospects in the draft. Also really liked picking up Kirby Dach in the mid rounds. Not hard to see him being a first-line centre for the next 10+ years.

Is BTS through his 5 waiver picks yet?

 

If he grabs waiver 60, regardless, I'm grabbing prospect pick 65.

I like all of those guys, and have seen each live, but stars? I feel like the only one with any star upside is Kaliyev and he is far from a lock due to his poor ankle flexion. They all look like players though which is bodes well for you.

King knows his puck, bro. He's seen plenty play. It's kind of unfair, lol. Just kidding.

Yes, stars.

 

McMichael is tracking to be a Rantanen level player

 

Kaliyev is tracking similar to Jonathan Huberdeau

 

 

Tomasinos comparable is Dylan Larkin

He wanted 5 picks, then a prospect pick.

lol... yes! Whatever that is, lol.

 

It is everything in skating, without it you are limited in your ability to dig into the ice on your edges, drive through on extension and balance your center of gravity over top of your blades in a fundamentally stronger position. Guys like Kaliyev with weaker ankle flexion tend to splay their legs which shifts their center of gravity back onto the heel of their outside leg. It limits a players ability to change direction or speed quickly which in most instances is more important than top speed. This can be improved, but it is one of those genetic things that you either have or don't have, and if you don't have it there is a ceiling as to how far you can improve. If you are interested Jack Han writes about this extensively in his newsletters.

I'm familiar, and I am a fan of both he and Mitch Brown's work. But I just don't agree with the McMichael assessment. I have nothing analytical to back that up either, I just don't see a star skill-set, though to be fair I didn't with Raantanen either.

They are valid criticisms. That's why I said the odds are good 1 of them will likely turn into a star (not all three). Tomasino's game might translate the most smoothly considering he's the best skater of the three.

I think Tomasino ends the year in the top 6, you took him one round earlier than I had planned to, lol.
