But I doubt evaluating one's hockey talent is scientific and can be measured. If so, there would never be a bad pick or a bust because all teams would pick the best sure fire player. I see the same game that Podkolzin plays as they do and I do not see what is so special about Podkolzin. Podkolzin will be good and can become a NHL player. But doubt he can carry a line on his own. Based on what? You watching a few youtube clips vs scouts who watched him for years? You think quite highly of your ability to judge talent, good for you! Maybe you can become a scout from your couch from watching youtube and become an NHL gm one day! Edited June 22, 2019 by 18W-40C-6W 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious if you saw Kucherov being able to carry a line on his own when he was drafted? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also seem to be able to evaluate hockey talent better than you. Consensus top 10 pick even considering the Russian factor dropped. It's not like Benning went off the board here. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNate Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Does anyone have a list of available players left? or know where to find one? Wondering who is out out there that could allow Kaliyev to fall to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think scouts had him as the highest rated forward past the top 2? Yeah? And why did he rank 3 and they dropped to 10? Because scout's ranks mean nothing and if their ranking were perfect, guys like Nail Yakupov wouldn't be drafted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Boldy too but there is no denying Podz is on another level. Can’t complain about this, like I said nine hours before the draft if this scenario happens it’s a coupe, steal or whatever you want to call it...lottery balls be damned Benning did it again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Panarein Pete Podkolzin Pearson? Bo Boeser Would be a top 6 I could get really excited about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many teams ahead of us required DMen and Centers desperately 2. 2 year contract in Russia is an issue for some 3. You build teams from Center and D. Every team before us took a center or dman other than Kakko who we all know was in a different category than the rest Edited June 22, 2019 by 18W-40C-6W 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really like the pick myself, but why does he need to carry any line on his own? He either plays with Pettersson, who carries his line. Or he plays with Bo, who also carries his line. He's going to be a complimentary part of either line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skillwise he was a TOP 5 player according to almost all the scouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because at 10, I would want someone that can carry a line on his own. That is why I wanted Matthew Boldy because I see that potential in him. Do I have proof? Of course not. Only time will tell and hopefully I am wrong about Podkolzin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kakko will put up more points, but Pod will be impactful even when not putting up points. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
