So does simashev and in a vastly superior league in the khl. After having seen him play lots, you are looking at a 4 year window to fix him where he is ready. If you are gonna get, then trade down to 23 and pick up an extra asset.
Good thing you will notice is his stick. When he uses it on the checking side, he is extremely talented. He does shy away from the physical game and his puck retrieval down low in his zone leaves something to be desired.
Been watching kloten myself. Yeah the offense is nice, but he does need a ton of work on his gap control. Scary thing for me is his side is a dead ringer for his brother Tobias and that is what stopped him at the next lvl. The offense and his shot too are kind of giving me alarm bells.
Not that I am not high on him. He needs alot of work on his gap control and positioning much like bahl and doesnt really deserve his first round grade. Early second round then yeah. With these two picks right now, we should be focusing in on a crazy forward class. Dmen that I would be focusing on are simashev and minnetian with later picks.
In this draft and where our second first is atm, I don't think we should be drafting pelinka- sandin or reinbacher in the first with our second pick. I think they are being overvalued too much based on the world juniors. I think we need to take the best two forwards that are available at our picks and focus on defensemen in the second round where we can find some outstanding value.
That's the problem. We are trying to draft based off of need and coaching strategy I.e. the Babcock. Most coaches now are dealing better with the offhand then they did back in the day. If you want to look at an rhd that we should, look at minnetian.
They are. Bob's list is media driven and is by a concensus of ten scouts he trusts. Also have you watched both play? Reinbacher has alot of the same problems his brother Tobias has. His skating needs alot of work and dragicevic has been somewhat underwhelming overall in his play this season. He either needs a big playoffs or a hell of a tourney in the u18s to pump his stock past gulyayev to 13.
Still to high for reinbacher and dragicevic unless we trade down and pick extra picks. Picking up Barlow or wood would be excellent to with our second pick
Well. Steelers and Pitt football are number one there. Give them time. They are slowly getting it and are shocked and kind of pumped on the questions they are getting.
Agreed. Him and simashev should be up there. As for the pick I rather have next year's cuz the isles roster looks like it is gonna age out badly and I really like drafts like 2024 and 2017. They surprise more often then not.
