Screw Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 If the top 14 stick relatively true to most of the mock drafts I feel Ohgren is the guy Canucks take. I really love Yurov though. I think if he can come over soon like Klimovich it would be a steal of a pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Ward Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 We can't take anyone who's issue is skating. It is a skating league. Anyone we take in any round should be a strong skater with speed. We shouldn't be gambling that they can figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfgang Durst Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 There are good reasons why Ryan Chesley is ranked as a borderline first rounder by most of the scouting services. The following report is a good source for getting more information on the player's strength and deficiencies. https://www.habseyesontheprize.com/2022/6/29/23182772/ryan-chesley-2022-nhl-draft-prospect-profile-scouting-report-rankings-defensive-display-usntdp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfgang Durst Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Picking Ryan Chesley with the 15th overall pick would be drafting for need instead of BPA. That would be the type of poor decisions made by Jim Benning that put the organzation in a massive hole. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on if scouts think the issue is fixable (e.g., mechanics rather than effort/athleticism). Just look at Bo Horvat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave Brock a raise, tossed Motte for scraps, Dermott for Hammonic schweet. They had an all women job fair which is kinda neat. Hired and fired some pencil pushers. Still waiting for JR to put his stamp on this team cuz tight now its still JB's roster. Edited July 3, 2022 by hammertime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be good with this. Draft him not for the player he is today but the player he has the tools to become.

If JR is serious about getting faster it would be a good step. I don’t think a player with Lambert’s ceiling (elite play driving centre akin to Brayden Point) will fall to us, but if he does I will be super excited to get him. He could play in Abbotsford next year too. Would make trading Miller an even better move because there’s a young centre/wing with potential to play to six. We need more elite players, who have speed (with puck on stick) to drive play at hyper speed. Lambert does that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blazing speed seems to be the consensus; a little selfish with the puck perhaps needs to work on playmaking. If he does turn out like Point, that is a player every team needs and wants.

Just going over the reports on him again, what concerns me is Button having him in the 2nd round. He was the only major scout that had Virtanen out of the 1st round too.

Wolfgang Durst Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 There is a reason why Bob has him ranked only at #16 and NOT in the top 10. Following is from a scouting report on Brad Lambert. Other scouting services have mentioned similar observations. But, Lambert has been criticized for his lack of effort. Perhaps this is something that can be attributed to being an 18-year-old or just a general lack of motor, but scouts have criticized Lambert for taking shifts off. A very ephemeral criticism, but one that is present enough to have draft experts wary of Lambert and has caused some to suggest that he will fall in the draft.

Wolfgang Durst Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 inconsistent with his output and effort .sounds like Jake. Henrik said about Jake that he has all the tools.... What exactly happened with Jake? He couldn't become a regular NHL'er. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 15 he would probably be the highest cieling player available other than maybe the russians. Hmm wasn't Barzal drafted at 15? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
