    Quinn Hughes | #43 | D

    What's on Quinn's mind watching his bros in the 2nd round?

    Apparently, he watched Game 3 on TV as he just had his tonsils taken out , as per the last minute in this clip, you know.

    (The first 15 'you knows' were from Jack's first response.)

    Philadelphia moved from 13 to 2 in 2017.  Ended up drafting Nolan Patrick and passing on Petey, Makar and Heiskanen, so their luck went sour.  Fun fact, Montreal ended up drafting at 13 and picked Nick Suzuki.  So Philly would have been better off staying at 13.

     

    Carolina moved from 11 to 2 in 2018.  They ended up picking Andrei Svechnikov.

     

    Chicago moved from 12 to 3 in 2019.  They picked Kirby Dach.

     

    NY Rangers moved from 12 to 1 in 2020.  They picked Alexis Lafreniere.  

    Vegas drafted Suzuki 13th in 2017, then traded him in the Pacioretty deal.

    Brock Boeser | #6 | RW

    in Current Roster

    Posted

    Bored, so going over hockeydb stats of two former comparables to BB - Oshie and Pavelski.

    Boeser in his 7th year, (arguably 6th year), yet to hit 30 goals.

    Pavelski scored 31 in his 6th season but Oshie did not hit 30 goals until his 9th season.

    How comparable are they now? Is Pavelski that much of a better skater than Brock?

    30 goals for Brock - it's doable.

    Possibly Bloom is a younger version of Di Giuseppe, basically a quick skating ,north -south type of player, that Tocchet loves.

     

    Also, if he picks up his scoring and adds a pestering component to his game al a Matt Cooke- but without the shenanigans, he could be useful. (Cooke made Keenan's starting roster after being in the OHL top 10 scoring the season before.) 

     

    All that is possible for Bloom.

    Back to Rathbone - He needs to differentiate himself from the other smaller LD like Hughes, Hirose by being more physical. He used to step up and take out the right winger in the neutral zone. Those type of hits were in his highlights package before but he hasn't done that recently.

    One of Hughes primary functions is evading the forecheck and transitioning to the attack. He is valuable to us, not just because he negotiates centre ice and the opposing end well, his greatest value is getting the damn puck out of our end. The best way to protect him when retrieving pucks is two-fold - forwards need to do a better job of screening forecheckers, and those who escape that kind of resistance to invoke mayhem on Hughes need to face the wrath of someone who can put the fear of God in them. Hughes is the guy who is going to transition the puck, not his partner. If that was his partner's skill, he too would be an 8 million dollar man, then what would be the purpose of Hughes?

    A third way is to have Demko improve his puck skills so that he becomes like a third defenceman, sort of like how Ron Hextall made life easy for Mark Howe on those Philedelphia teams back in the days.

    1st line:  Nielsen - Stevens - Karlsson 

    2nd line: Hoglander - Sasson - Podkolzin   

    3rd line:  Alfaro - Raty - Klimovich 

    4th line: Stevens - Wouters - Rau  

     

    Depth forwards: Dowling, Gatcomb, Arsenault (injured), PDG (injured)

     

    1st D: Woo - Guitari 

    2nd D: Rathbone - Keeper 

    3rd D: Johansson - Kannok Leipert 

     

    Depth Defensemen: Carroll, Nychuk , Juulsen (injured), Wolanin (injured)  

     

     

    That would be my guess, but people can feel free to disagree and present different lineups.  Maybe I'm forgetting someone too. 

    I see you have Stevens on there twice.

    My lines - PDG - Dowling - Podkolzin

                    Hoglander - Stevens - Karlsson

                    Bains - Raty - Nielsen

                    Sasson - Wouters - Klimovich

     

           D      Wolanin - Juulsen

                    Rathbone - Woo

                    Keeper - Kannok-Leipert

     

    Injured playes like PDG, Wolanin and Juulsen will play because it's the playoffs.

    Myers was always considered more of an offensive dman.  Imo, the best part of his game is how he pushes

    the opponents away from the net.  This a very important duty and the only dman that can do it effectively.

    Problem is that Myers allowed a much smaller Tyler Johnson to knock him around in the Chicago game. Things like that have happened much too often.

    Honeymoon period is over. He needs to bear down and produce. His defensive game is decent, seems better than Podz (who keeps on passing into the middle in his own zone).but he hasn't been able to score.

     

    I wonder about VK's passion for the game. Does he even like hockey? He seems to be a guy, who's always been good at hockey but doesn't love hockey. That's the vibe I get.

     

    Based on his first interview, he seemed less mature than the younger Podkolzin and it wasn't a good first impression. All these 'I don't knows', even though he's been playing in the media capital of the world.
