John McClane Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 If Crystal doesn’t have any setbacks and grows a few inches, he’s stock could really rise. Great hands, decent speed. The Rockets were a really young team last year and he had some nice numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighOnHockey Posted August 14, 2022 Author Share Posted August 14, 2022 (edited) Figured I would post this again for this year's draft thread. My league rankings. Feel free to dispute but for those who aren't as familiar with pro hockey outside the NHL (and for myself) it's a good reference point. 20 - NHL 18.5 - KHL 18 - SHL 17.25 - AHL 17 - SM-Liiga 16.75 - Swiss NL 16.5 - Czech Extraliga 16.25 - VHL (Russia2), DEL (Germany) 16 - HockeyAllsvenskan 15.75 - Tipsport Extraliga (Slovakia), ICEHL (Austria) 15.5 - ECHL 15.25 - NCAA, Ligue Magnus (France), Metal Ligaen (Denmark) 15 - Fjordkraft Ligaen (Norway), DEL2 14.75 - Czech2, SL (Swiss2) 14.5 - EIHL (UK), Mestis (Finland2), Kazakhstan 14.25 - USports, VHL-B, Latvia 14 - WHL, OHL, MHL, HockeyEttan (Sweden3) 13.75 - QMJHL, USHL, SuperElit, SPHL, Slovakia2 13.5 - U20 SM Sarja, MSL, AlpsHL 13.25 - BCHL, NCAA DIII, Denmark2 13 - NAHL, Latvia, Norway2 12.75 - AJHL, ACAC 12.5 - OJHL, CCHL, Poland, France2 12.25 - MJHL, SJHL 12 - GOJHL, QJAAAHL, NOJHL 11.75 - BeNe League 11.5 - VIJHL, ACHA 10 - USPHL Premier 9.75 - ACHA DII Keep in mind the extremely wide variance in quality for college leagues, with 60 DI teams, 72 DIII teams, 70 ACHA DI teams and 200 ACHA DIII teams.

HighOnHockey Posted August 15, 2022 Author Share Posted August 15, 2022 Oh damn I just realized last fall's U17 Challenge games are available on Hockey Canada's website. It was a shelled down version with no international teams and only Canadian players, but most of the top Canadians were there - Benson, Ritchie, Yager, etc. Check it out here: https://www.hockeycanada.ca/en-ca/national-championships/men/world-u17/2021/schedule-results/stats/schedule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the fact he is a RHD, and he put up some nice point totals last year. How would you compare him to Cameron Allen from Guelph? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Nate Danielson is a forward. I like him a lot though. Looks like a surefire first rounder and could be top 15 or 20. Bit of a power forward. Not in the way that Adam Fantilli is a power forward, but he's got a good mix of skill and some size. I mostly know him from YOGs a couple years ago where he was on Canada's top line with Savoie and Fantilli, and he more than pulled his own weight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcam Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I watched Mathew Wood a lot won BCJHL scoring race as 16-17 year old. Wood is 6'3- 185lbs, I imagine he would be a later first rounder 18 -32 O/A?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best season for a U17 in BCHL since Paul Kariya. Similar numbers to what guys like Kent Johnson and Alex Newhook did as U18s. Admittedly, when I have seen him play, I haven't been quite as impressed as the stats led me to believe. Was it just a powerhouse team in Victoria inflated his numbers or what? Because strictly on paper it looks like he should be an easy top 10 with consideration for the top 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little raw but heavily involved in all the action and appeared to play a heavy game. Could just be more athletically advanced than the other kids though.

HighOnHockey Posted October 7, 2022 Author Share Posted October 7, 2022 Leo Carlsson with another goal an assist for Orebro yesterday. Small sample size but he's now up there with Daniel Sedin, Markus Naslund, William Nylander and Tomas Sandstrom for best p/g by a U19 in an SHL season. Considering the question marks around Matvei Michkov's situation, it is starting to look like Carlsson could soon establish himself as the best option to go 2nd overall.

Pure961089 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) The importance of having a strong prospect pool is overrated. Let me explain. 3 years ago the Canucks were said to have the best prospects pool in the NHL. With names like hobby Baker winner Adam Gaudette, Linga’s rookie of the year Palmu. The Canucks boasted the an 18 year old goalie that played for Canada in the World Cup named DiPietro, the next one. Our embarrassment of riches extended to the Allsvenskin where our crown jewel out of all our prospects the MVP of the Allsvenskin league, Yes, Jonathan Dahlen was our crown jewel of superstar prospects. It was just after we drafted Hughes and just after many had thought we had made a big mistake passing up on Glass in the 2017 draft. Well we know what happened, many of our sure fire prospects never made it. So when I see that the Kings have the best prospect pool in the league I kinda roll my eyes. Unless you have a rare talent please don’t. The Kings top prospects read like a 2019 Canucks prospect pool. I’m not impressed. Byfield still has to prove it in the NHL and if he hasn’t done it by now, it’s doubtful he’ll ever. Edited October 9, 2022 by Pure961089 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
