It is also possible that he saw Jasek and not Kole but hopefully they will both be in the line up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthymitts32 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 You guys are good. I just read that article on castanet and came here to provide an update, but you guys are all over it! Excited for kole to start his professional career and get some playoff games in, get a real good idea of what he needs to work on this summer.

Again, if you look at the big risers, Thomas, Mittelstadt, Necas, Tolvanen, Timmins all had big WJC's. If you look at the players that dropped. Lind, Glass, Vilardi, Tippet, they are all players that didn't play WJC's, This leads me to believe that they decisions were purely made on WJC and not based on when they did in the season. Glass and Lind ripped up the WHL, Vilardi put up 1.86 p/pg on the OHL after coming back from injury (after the WJC). 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to this THN poll of execs,, GM's & scouts > Lind would actually get drafted later, not earlier, in a redo of the 2017 draft? ''Would have dropped to at least the mid-second in a redux...''' http://www.thehockeynews.com/news/article/2017-nhl-draft-do-over-panel-of-scouts-execs-and-gms-redo-the-first-round For a whole number of reasons, I don’t see any current GM or Exec lending their insight into a “in hindsight re-draft,” especially when it’s less than one year since it happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Glass dipping a little bit, considering he was picked pretty damn high, but along with Lind, it shocks me that Vilardi actually dropped considering the season he's had. Tells me you're right about the WJC playing a huge factor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khay Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 15 hours ago, SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME said: I think “disappointed” is a bit rough. Mittelstadt was the second leading scorer (one point back of team lead) for Minnesota and he had the best points/game on the team. Boeser’s season was amazing but he had a much stronger supporting cast. Agreed, however, that Pettersson’s season blows away anything Mittelstadt has done. My guess is that the scouts they polled are all or mostly based in North America. They probably have no clue as to the magnitude of what Pettersson just achieved. And Pettersson's WJC performance was a bit less noticeable compared to Dahlin and Andersson on team Sweden whereas Mittlestadt was the star for USA (personally, I don't know if that's true because I didn't watch any USA games). That list looks like a list compiled by North American scouts that based their opinion on WJC performances and their knowledge of NA leagues.

Gaudette Celly Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Any update from the Utica crew on if he's joined the team, and when he's expected to play? After tonight, next game isn't until Thursday but unless they're very short tonight I'd expect he won't get in until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I envision him playing a role like Kris Versteeg on the stacked Chicago team from 2008-2013. Probably going to be a bit better than Versteeg mainly because I think Lind is more competitive than Versteeg, which leads me to think that Lind will be more consistent in putting up the points. I see him as a 20+ goals, 30+ assists or a 50-60 points player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
