hammertime Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 5 minutes ago, Ilunga said: Yes I have seen a little bit of Kalle Carlsson. This report that came out today actually compares him to Raty in his draft year. https://thehockeywriters.com/kalle-carlsson-2023-nhl-draft-prospect-profile/ Bottom line high risk medium reward however as the article states, centres that can play a 200 ft 2 way game are valuable. Definitely worth a swing in the later rounds if he is there especially if there are no RHD that stand out. Seems like Kalle could be a good get. I'd love to see them grab 2 BIG physical D out of the 6 remaining picks. A couple of Dvorak, Carter Sotheran, Gavin McCarthy, Matteo Mann, Kostadinski, Brady Cleveland, this kid Berglund, and use the remaining 4 picks on a 2way C a PWF/Skilled pest and 2 big swings (don't let the guy go by who has no business being available at your pick just because they don't meet the preceding criteria. Alvins "difference makers") 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also like I teach my son to never give up, just keep persisting, give 100 percent, believe in yourself 100 percent and you can achieve what ever you set your mind to. Drafted a kid in the 4th round- CDCGML- last year Matthew Seminoff, 57 points in 64 games,but what all the scouting reports stated was his work ethic, that it would probably get him a gig in the NHL. Dallas took him at 179, he has already signed his first contract. To fail while trying as hard as you can is perfectly acceptable... Should never fail for the lack of trying, or putting in the effort.... We can't all win, but we can be the best, we can be....

DownUndaCanuck Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 7 hours ago, smithers joe said: i still believe that PA, will trade the 11th along with garland and myers after his bonus is paid to chicago for 19th, 2 2nds and a 3rd. and then a 2nd and boeser for a center or d man, or he could steal bennings comment and say we tried to do many things but in the end we couldn't do anything. Sounds silly if we can get a late first and a second or two I'd be all over it. I'd just go nuts and take every defenceman available - take Strbak with the 19th overall, and a couple of Willander, Lindstein, Simashev, Gulyayev, Dragicevic etc. Take 3 defencemen and roll the dice on them. There is a risk taking a defenceman as highly as 11OA like Reinbacher that he may not pan out, whereas it always seems to be the case that good top-4 defencemen end up going in the late 1st/2nd round, so why not take 3 instead of 1? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a bunch more in the 7/8 territory I actually wonder if the addition of Hronek doesn't do more for the collective than he does by himself, what I mean is do players filter down the lineup to a spot where they can find success now that we've gotten another Top 4 Dman? Could Juulsen become a legit full time player on the right side now that Hronek can hopefully eat up the hardest minutes? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 He's not going to drop to 11. He's going to drop to 19 where Canucks fans will freak that Chicago gets Bedard, AND Michkov. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 13 hours ago, HighOnHockey said: If I was entirely convinced he was a center I'd have him top 10. I'm not quite there. So he's just outside for me. I think of a smaller Mitch Marner. Not gonna be a bad pick but I think there will be players that I would prefer there at 11. I've seen a lot of scouts compare Benson to Point. Still not sold personally, but grabbing a Brayden Point would be a hell of a player at 11.

Even though OEL is here possibly for another 4 years, there will be a time, when he leaves... having a few gems in the pipeline would perfect time wise with him leaving. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Odd.

We would still be a lottery team. He had 48 points in his rookie season, and 105 PIMs, which probably cost us a ton of games with our abysmal PK.

We only need that one of them is able to take the next step and be a 3/4 If I were to guess I would say management isn’t as worried as some think. Getting Hronek, Hirose, possibly Johanssen looking like a fit… I think the urgency isn’t as high. But getting a player that will fit in on the team for cheap in 1-2 years would be ideal. Whether it be a forward or d-man. my choices: Willander/ ASP/ Wood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t mean you’re getting a player that projects to produce and be like a second Brayden Point. Remember when they used to say every offensive dman plays like Eric Karlsson? Everyone would lose their sh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
