Ray_Cathode Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Here is an article from just after the draft, it contains a lot of contradictory observations so I don't know how much stock to put in it. Seeing Costmar's production this year would argue that the negative reports are most likely over-stated. But anyway, here goes:https://www.vancourier.com/pass-it-to-bulis/the-canucks-made-the-right-kind-of-gamble-picking-arvid-costmar-in-the-7th-round-1.23871186 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyHarry Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) I read the article above the later parts from Burke of Elite Prospects and Biech of NextGen Hockey are very conflicting. Burke says Costmar is a slow skater and Biech says Costmar is a fast skater who always keeps his feet moving. my take on the Costmar article is he’s a younger player who looks for open space and needs others to create offense and is not a flashy player and is defensively sound. Has an edge to his game even for a smaller player. Also he had one good Tournament early but had 2 Tournaments that where not productive....so there was high expectations for the later Tournaments but he disappeared on the stat sheet. Also it mentioned he got hurt in both tournaments and didn’t finish them. (Odd an injured player not playing unable to produce....wierd ) bottom line is I don’t think any Scouts really saw him play his draft season as it was cut short and he battled injuries. Scouts have hundreds of kids to watch Costmar was quickly looked at and forgotten. the article above posted was an interesting read in which I didn’t know anything about Costmar going in and now I have a clearer picture.

He seems to want to make a decision and hold to it regardless of changes and never wants to admit he is wrong. I'm not sure of his credibility. Biech seems to not let his personal opinions misguide him from what he's actually seeing. Just seems to be more factual. I think I will side with Biech this time around. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas Johnsson is probably the closest comparable to this point. Costmar will need to produce around .5 P/GP in the SHL next year to keep pace with his development track. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/43991/andreas-johnsson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ofcourse some of the credit. Thats why i said judd gets most of the credit not all of the credit. But generally after the 1st round its the scouting staff who make the picks. GM and AGM are big part of the discussions for 1st round picks. After that its mostly the director of scouting and his staff. Even to draft EP40 it was Judd who pushed hard to draft him. He fought hard and stuck to it. Great job by him. To make EP happen, there were those in the organization who really had to lobby. “There were some heated debates in our meetings after we knew we were going to be at five,” Linden said, looking back to ’17. “The conviction those guys showed … They fought hard.” Edited February 2, 2020 by WHL rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
