JE14 Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 2019 NHL Draft - Round 1 With the 2nd overall pick, the Calgary Flames select... Hide contents Camila Cabello (Kazmanian Devil) Ranked: #3 Scouting Report: • A goal scoring winger with exceptional skating • A natural goal scorer who makes the amazing play look effortless • Possesses a laser wristshot, has superb vision and makes smart decisions with the puck Comparable: Phil Kessel Potential: Elite first line sniper Analysis: Easy choice for the Flames as they pick the best winger in the draft. With Johnny Gaudreau and Sam Bennett (being played as a LW) both struggling, Cabello will be a welcome addition on the first line with Sean Monahan, potentially as early as next year. With the 3rd overall pick, the Edmonton Oilers select... Hide contents Devon Hart (JE14) Ranked: #4 Scouting Report: • A determined winger with endless offensive talent • Possesses a terrific wristshot, incredible vision and sublime passing • Plays his heart and soul out on a day-to-day basis Comparable: Taylor Hall Potential: Elite first line sniper Analysis: After losing in the Stanley Cup final, the Oilers decide to trade up to take the best winger available. Their hope is that one day Hart can slot in alongside Connor McDavid and Taylor Hall to form one of the best lines in the NHL. With the 4th overall pick, the Florida Panthers select... Hide contents Shiny Trumpet (Captain Woodget) Ranked: #21 Scouting Report: • A huge, physical defenseman with good offensive instincts • Has outstanding physical attributes and has the ability to read plays exceptionally well • Needs to improve his skating and stickhandling Comparable: Zach Bogosian Potential: Top four two-way defenseman Analysis: Definitely a reach but with a potent first line in Jonathan Huberdeau, Aleksander Barkov and Reilly Smith the Panthers didn't need to pick a forward. The hope is Trumpet can eventually slot in alongside Aaron Ekblad. With the 5th overall pick, the Arizona Coyotes select... Hide contents Brick Wahl ll (Vrienzy) Ranked: #14 Scouting Report: • A big, athletic goaltender who displays amazing agility • Has lightning reflexes, an amazing glove hand and a capable blocker • Needs to improve his control of the crease Comparable: Jacob Markstrom Potential: Starting goaltender Analysis: Again, another reach, but the Coyotes needed to pick a goaltender as they have no goalie prospects in the system and their current NHL duo is extremely lackluster. With the 8th overall pick, the San Jose Sharks select... Hide contents Matthias Eberg-Karlsson (CaptainCanuck001) Ranked: #24 Scouting Report: • A big, two-way defenseman with outstanding hockey sense • Has the ability to make spectacular plays due to his patience, vision and passing • Needs to get stronger and needs to work on his slapshot Comparable: T.J. Brodie Potential: Top pairing offensive defenseman Analysis: The Sharks allowed the 2nd most goals in the league last year, so it was expected they pick a defenseman. With Marc-Edouard Vlasic getting up there in age and nobody with top pairing potential in the system, selecting Eberg-Karlsson was a smart move. With the 9th overall pick, the Chicago Blackhawks select... Hide contents Danny Dijon (Caboose) Ranked: #12 Scouting Report: • A big winger who is an outstanding physical specimen • Intimidates his opponents with his electric speed, strong physical play and terrific wristshot • Needs to improve his defensive skills and passing Comparable: Mike Hoffman Potential: First line sniper Analysis: An unexpected pick as the Blackhawks have now used three straight first rounders on left wingers. Nonetheless, the hope is Dijon can one day supplant one of the big three forwards (Jonathan Toews, Teuvo Teravainen, Patrick Kane). With the 10th overall pick, the Vancouver Canucks select... Hide contents Tig Bits (Tigs) Ranked: #10 Scouting Report: • A huge, consistent center with pure offensive instinct • An excellent skater who is very aggressive and punishes opposing players • A creative playmaker and makes good decisions with and without the puck Comparable: Mikhail Grigorenko Potential: First line playmaker Analysis: The Canucks badly need a first line center to skate alongside Jake Virtanen. After trading away Bo Horvat for a 3rd, 4th and a 7th, the plan (and hope) is Bits can replace him as soon as possible. With the 11th overall pick, the Buffalo Sabres select... Hide contents Nate Diaz (canuckledraggin) Ranked: #39 Scouting Report: • An attacking winger who loves to play on the big stage • A magician at creating plays with his superb passing and vision • Needs to improve his wristshot and slapshot Comparable: Loui Eriksson Potential: First line two-way forward Analysis: Another reach but with Zemgus Girgensons, Evander Kane and Sam Reinhart not producing as expected, Diaz is a solid choice to eventually play on the first line with Jack Eichel and Ryan O'Reilly. With the 14th overall pick, the Philadelphia Flyers select... Hide contents Sweetish Behries (Spotted Zebra) Ranked: #38 Scouting Report: • A big, agile and extremely competent butterfly goaltender • Has unbelievable reflexes, handles rebounds well and has a great glove hand • Needs to improve his stickhandling Comparable: Marc-Andre Fleury Potential: Backup goaltender Analysis: Definitely a strange pick considering the Flyers picked a projected starting goaltender sixth overall last year. Behries is a solid prospect but the Flyers would have been better served picking a defenseman. With the 16th overall pick, the Minnesota Wild select... Hide contents Kerf Eyuck (MickeyBoy44) Ranked: #9 Scouting Report: • A huge, offensive winger with great hockey smarts • Excels in finding open ice and when he does he has a knack for pulling unexpected moves • Needs to work on all things defense Comparable: Brandon Saad Potential: First line playmaker Analysis: A solid pick by the Wild as they take the best player available. They also picked a left wing prospect fifth overall last year, so Eyuck will face some competition for the top line spot. With the 30th overall pick, the Carolina Hurricanes select... Hide contents Miroslav Repac (Intoewsables) Ranked: #78 Scouting Report: • A huge, steady two-way defenseman with impressive physical strength • Plays a highly aggressive game and anticipates the play exceptionally well • Needs to improve his movement off the puck and his offensive skills Comparable: Stephen Johns Potential: Bottom pairing, stay-at-home defenseman Analysis: After trading away Justin Faulk, Roland McKeown and Jaccob Slavin, the Hurricanes desperately need to restock the defensive cupboard. Although unlikely he reaches this stage, the Hurricanes hope he can eventually compliment Noah Hanifin on the top pairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JE14 Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 2019 NHL Draft - Rounds 2-7 With the 39th overall pick, the Ottawa Senators select... Hide contents Goku Son (Patrick Kane) Ranked: #40 Scouting Report: • A big, offensive winger with strong intangibles • Will do anything to win and isn't afraid to add flair to his game • Needs to improve his defense, passing and stickhandling Comparable: Rick Nash Potential: First line power forward Analysis: The Senators top forward scorer for the past three seasons has contributed an average of 54 points. Son should eventually give the Senators a much needed offensive boost. With the 44th overall pick, the Philadelphia Flyers select... Spoiler Malkhazi Zosimov (Baer.) Ranked: #64 Scouting Report: • A huge, two-way winger who possesses a strong desire to win • Has outstanding stamina, good speed and finds the net with unerring regularity • Needs to improve his stickhandling, passing and defensive positioning Comparable: Kyle Okposo Potential: Top six power forward Analysis: A very good pick by the Flyers. If Zosimov fine-tunes some of his offensive skills he could be the perfect complimentary winger for Elias Pettersson (1st overall pick in 2017). With the 46th overall pick, the Minnesota Wild select... Hide contents Mainu Kendi Kalu (Dion Phaneuf) Ranked: #58 Scouting Report: • An offensive-minded winger with a strong work ethic • Has amazing hockey sense and reads the game magnificently • Needs to improve his defense, passing and stickhandling Comparable: Corey Perry Potential: Second line power forward Analysis: After picking a boom/bust forward in the first round, the Wild choose to go the safer route with this pick. Kalu is a very safe pick and, at the very least, should be a bottom six grinder with a scoring touch. With the 48th overall pick, the Columbus Blue Jackets select... Hide contents Carnegie Mellon (UMB) Ranked: #53 Scouting Report: • A huge winger who never takes a shift off • Possesses elite speed and is a natural scorer • Needs to improve his defense and his slapshot Comparable: Blake Wheeler Potential: First line sniper Analysis: The Blue Jackets decide to choose one of the more intriguing players of the draft. Once projected as a top five pick, Mellon has stagnated in his development at Youngstown. Columbus hopes he can still reach his potential and become a top six player for them. With the 54th overall pick, the Los Angeles Kings select... Hide contents Joona Pelkonen (Blue Jay 22) Ranked: #18 Scouting Report: • A huge center with an incredibly high level of fitness • Has deceptive speed and is always two steps ahead of the play • Needs to improve his defense and become less injury-prone Comparable: Joe Thornton Potential: First line playmaker Analysis: The Kings get one of the steals of the draft as Pelkonen fell over thirty spots. The Kings don't have much for prospects and with the core of the team becoming older, Pelkonen will be expected to help lead the next generation of the team. With the 55th overall pick, the Tampa Bay Lightning select... Hide contents Jakub Vlasenko (Jaku) Ranked: #47 Scouting Report: • A big, offensive defenseman who bounces around the ice with aggression • A top class playmaker who sees the game well • Needs to improve his defense, positioning and wristshot Comparable: Colton Parayko Potential: Top four offensive defenseman Analysis: A very good pick by the Lightning; they currently only have three under 30 defenseman on the NHL roster (Victor Hedman, Anthony DeAngelo, Anthony Bitetto) and a very bare defensive prospect pool. If Vlasenko works hard to improve his defense, he could be a great partner for Hedman. With the 66th overall pick, the Winnipeg Jets select... Hide contents Magnus Ljungberg (Nail) Ranked: #32 Scouting Report: • A huge center who plays a dynamic offensive game • Rarely has a bad game and plays best when the heat is on • Needs to improve his defense, stickhandling and slapshot Comparable: Evgeni Malkin Potential: First line playmaker Analysis: One of the riskiest players of the draft, the Jets hope that Ljungberg can overcome his lackluster puck skills and become the perfect center for Jamie Benn and Nikolaj Ehlers. With the 76th overall pick, the Minnesota Wild select... Hide contents Tims Sllub (Go Faulk Yourself) Ranked: #183 Scouting Report: • A big, two-way defenseman who isn't afraid to make a risky play • Reads the play well and possesses a booming slapshot • Needs to improve his passing, stickhandling and wristshot Comparable: Matt Bartkowski Potential: Bottom pairing, stay-at-home defenseman Analysis: The biggest reach of the draft, the Wild selected Sllub over 100 picks before he was projected to be selected. The Wild definitely need prospect defenseman but most feel they would have been better off picking a higher-ranked player with their 3rd rounder. With the 88th overall pick, the Anaheim Ducks select... Hide contents He-Duntook Thetimbsman (Spoderman) Ranked: #84 Scouting Report: • A huge, two-way winger who plays an extremely aggressive game • Makes things happen with his energetic forechecking and draws satisfaction from agitating opponents • Needs to improve his decision making, passing and wristshot Comparable: Tom Wilson Potential: Bottom six checking forward Analysis: Two years ago, Thetimbsman was projected to be a first line powerforward. Since then, he's regressed into a goon. The Ducks hope he can regain his scoring touch and become a first liner but the more likely scenario is he becomes a bottom six player. With the 147th overall pick, the Washington Capitals select... Hide contents Chase Rodriguez (Alain Vigneault) Ranked: #168 Scouting Report: • A huge, two-way winger who plays an aggressive brand of hockey • Is very confident when in possession of the puck and has the capability to thread passes • Needs to improve his movement off the puck and his stickhandling Comparable: Patrick Maroon Potential: Third line power forward Analysis: The Capitals haven't drafted a left winger in three years so this pick fills a hole. If Rodriguez improves substantially in certain areas, he could carve out a career as a bottom six power forward With the 153rd overall pick, the Florida Panthers select... Hide contents Ramsey Bolton (Jägermeister) Ranked: #109 Scouting Report: • A small, two-way winger who is a determined competitor • Very strong, checks hard and has an agitating aspect to his game • Needs to improve his consistency, decision making and puck skills Comparable: Matt Cooke Potential: Bottom six power forward Analysis: The Panthers are banking on Bolton regaining his ability that led him to being a top bantam draftee. He hasn't improved in three years but he could still become a solid bottom six agitator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 JE that's a great draft layout, kudos! Pumped to go 4th overall having been much lower in the rankings. Hope I'll prove to be a better selection than Trent Frederic was IRL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaku Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Pumped to see Jakub as a Lightning prospect, hopefully he keeps improving his defensive game so he can crack the roster one day! Being compared to Colton Parayko, there are certainly worse players to be compared to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Jay 22 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Wow. I went from lottery pick to Top 20 to 2nd rounder in a 1 year span. And to the team I hate the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dion Phaneuf Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 The Minnesota Wild got themselves a Brandon Saad, Corey Perry, and most importantly a Matt Bartkowski if we all reach our potential. Plan the parade. I like the Perry comparison. Dirty player that can actually play the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
