PositionOfPower Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 5 minutes ago, Sean Monahan said: Yeah, Barzal was oddly overlooked in his draft year. Other than missing some time to injury in his draft year, what had he done to hurt his stock? Great D minus 1 year, great draft year despite games missed, lit up the U 18’s. Was already a sublime skater, tremendous hands, great hockey sense, great passer, etc. He looked every bit the same kid who went first overall in the Bantam draft. Eventhough we will never get Eklund, Eklund stylistically is very similar to Barzal including body build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not high on Lysell on shift by shift videos I saw. Ugh. Watch scouching on lysell.

A 3rd C could be had with our 2nd/3rd. I think McTavish is the most likely to be an “off-the-board” pick from teams ahead of us. Only team I see drafting Wallstedt ahead of us is the Sharks since everyone else has a G and/or much bigger needs. Cossa is also available at 25-35 and he looks like he could have star potential as well. Kolosov is the next best G IMO already playing some games in the KHL and put up impressive numbers as a 19 year old. Wallstedt will either go to Sharks, Wings or even LA I think. He just has that good size and that number 1 goalie of future vibe. Wings analysts from yesterdays wings draft lottery coverage said they lack D men, however Luke Hughes however has character issues via many sources unlike Quinn.

Kings have almost just as much reason to draft Wallstedt as we do given Peterson’s age and performances being pretty much on par with Demko. Kings also really need a D this draft. DET has Petruzzeli, NCAA goalie of the year and Hobey Baker finalist. They also have the Capitals 1st and could draft Cossa who is also a really good G in this draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Guenther better as a RH winger but I doubt he’ll be available at 9. Lysell good character guy too from all accounts which might tickle JB’s pickle. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterson though isnt elite though, he is no Quick when he was in his prime in my opinion. But you are right in general of organizational need.

Junkyard Dog Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Also fun fact @Herberts Vasiljevs Fabian Lysell was drafted by the Vancouver Giants in the import draft. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So tell me how does he move from post post or get down into the butterfly that excites you. I could give a $&!# less about charisma since any nhler that made an impact in the league has lots of charisma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petersen is putting up elite numbers at the WC with USA right now. 1.01 GGA and .961 save percentage through 5 games. If Kings need another goalie they can draft one in the later rounds like we did with DiPietro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude is fun to watch I get he is explosive in the highlights when he scores.etc. but take a close look at the shift by shift videos. Many times he gets knocked off the puck very very easily and lacks positional awareness without the puck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lysell good character guy too from all accounts which might tickle JB’s pickle. Elite skater - check. Right-handed - check. Aggressive puck pursuit (ala Hoglander) - check. Playmaker - check. Funny, @PositionOfPowercompared Eklund to Barzal - but I was thinking that Lysell has similarities to Barzal in terms of skating. It's not just the speed he possesses, but the agility and the low-centre gravity that Barzal does. Hoglander - Pettersson - Boeser Podkolzin - Horvat - Lysell How ya like that for a balanced top-6?

For guy similar in size to Hoglander he gets knocked off the puck very easily unlike Hogz. In the NHL where space is at a premium with more physical play there is a risk to picking him.
