GB5 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 3 minutes ago, 204CanucksFan said: Kind of underwhelmed by this kid. Could turn out to be very good. 3rd overall selection in the OHL draft for his year but missed all of last season, never went overseas, so he hasn't been on the ice competitively in over a year. Under sized according to the draft lists but who knows when he was last officially weighed with no combine, hopefully he's put on some muscle mass during his off time. Up until this puck the Canucks have been pretty conservative and only picking players who have played a lot.last season. Seems they must have liked this playerbenough to throw a 6th at him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he has all the tools it appears. It’s funny to read that his strengths include leadership, hockey IQ etc but that he needs to develop mentally. I think this speaks to him being an under the radar unknown. Only time will tell if he puts it together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got no issue on taking a gamble on prospects at this point of the draft, especially the ones who missed a lot of ice time and dropped due to covid and he has a good track record. 1 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 10 minutes ago, viking mama said: The phrase that raised a flag for me was: average skater This isn’t promising. Get an elite skating coach kid. It is essential that you are a good to great skater to be impactful in the NHL. Didn't Al Arbour tell Bill Torrey it's easier to learn how to check than to score? Same with skating. That's a skill you can teach. You can't teach offensive and defensive instincts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblix Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 looking toward the 7th rounder now... Tichacek LHD small skilled good skating defender Trevor Wong C small skilled vancouver born player maybe? at this late whatever they choose is all good to me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobayashi Maru Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 It’s interesting to hear Lockhart being selected in his younger years with other top prospects and exceptional status players. Sounds like the year off just made him a big unknown again. Never know but sounds like another swing for the fences pick which I think is a sound strategy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Following along and I like these later picks. The goalie is very intriguing. I like the 2 smooth skating defenseman. And then with Lockhart he's got some pedigree being a high OHL pick, seems like a decent bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind the fact that he's a Vancouver native. His points per game skyrocketed this year (over a small sample size) and, if I'm not mistaken, captained Spokane. Edit: sorry, Kelowna. I have Luke Toporowski on the mind, who's another guy I would snag either in the 7th or as an overager signing.

Tichacek LHD small skilled good skating defender Trevor Wong C small skilled vancouver born player maybe? at this late whatever they choose is all good to me Tichacek is interesting but if we're going LD I'm intrigued by Yaroslav Busygin. Not the most skilled but a solid, extremely physical shutdown guy that projects to be a safe bet as a bottom pairing, PK specialist minimum. Otherwise go with Wong, under sized but very high skill. Very much boom or bust but that's what 7th rounders are good for. Edited July 24 by 204CanucksFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) All Swedish and a little Finnish seems to be the theme of this draft. Throw in a Belarusian and a Canadian and we got a good mix. Edited July 24 by DeNiro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
