I’m thinking the Tom Wilsons and Erik Cernaks of the world might fall through the cracks. Also, I get how you can look at Brayden Point”s production and say he should have been drafted higher, but how do you account for Sam Bennett producing very similar numbers to Point but not carrying it over, or Michael Dal Colle and Mikhail Grigorenko scoring in the same range and busting? Guys like Chris Tierney with dog—— numbers in their draft year? How much weight to give the numbers? That's a reason you use the percentile and SEAL adjusted scoring. It helps you figure out some of the noise. You can use it for defenders as well because the correlation is less but defenders that don't produce much at lower levels raise red flags. You start or end with the production depending on how you scout. I start with it because i've limited in what I can do so it helps weed out guys. You should be looking at numbers over at 2 years, rakish does I think 3 years. Honestly if we look back at Grigorenko, I'd bet there's something questionable in the numbers. You also have to take into account the team they are on, Jarvis outscored Quinn playing on a worse team and being the top dog on his team in a tougher league. I'll try to talk more on it tomorrow but the numbers are only a piece of the puzzle. Quote

LGR4GM Posted July 29, 2020 Report Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) Barron would have to slide to 38 and I would really need a good excuse. He was on a bad team and his production dropped. He also had a health issue... I think it was blood clots if I remember, it's in a scouting report. That's a guy that you have to do more due diligence than I can before you can comfortably take him but I wouldn't consider it anywhere in the 1st round. Edited July 29, 2020 by LGR4GM Quote

It's a treat reading your views on this draft class. I salute you and the others in your knowledge of the prospects. ? It seems that right now Lafreniere and Byfield are ranked in the top two with Stutzle and Perfetti also considered in the upper echelon by some. If you were asked what couple of players in the second half of the top ten (5-10) could turn out to be very good players who would they be? Quote

If you were asked what couple of players in the second half of the top ten (5-10) could turn out to be very good players who would they be? Funny you should ask because there is a podcast that Rakish recorded on this subject. In no particular order: Seth Jarvis, underrated due to a mediocre Helinka tourney and he plays in the WHL which always seems to get a little less credit than it should. I think he is an offensive spark plug with everything you want in a top 10 player, hands, skating, shot, and rumor is he is actually 5'11" now so size isn't a concern. I don't have concerns with him to be honest, I just think scouts overrate this short tourneys and underrate the WHL. Marco Rossi, questions about his size and skating (his skating is great, his speed is only good) but he's a pit viper cornered protecting his young or something. Shoots, throws the body, goes to the dirty areas, creates havoc. The concern really is, how well will he translate to the NHL and is there much room for improvement. Alex Holtz, I think his skating improved or his beginning of the year highlights just magically don't look as good for some reason. Sniper with some snarl, the type of sniper a lot of teams will like and he can play both sides of the ice... defense needs some work. Lucas Raymond, clever winger with great skating and hands. He was overwhelmed and got limited minutes in the SHL but that's due to his current size and need for muscle which never bothers me. My issue is that I think sometimes he can be a perimeter player looking to snag a loose puck and find a teammate and I personally want someone forcing that puck loose. That's it for me unless I did forget someone. 1 Quote

If you add it all up, I think Pronman would be out in the lead, then liger, me, Button, McKenzie, Sabres. Liger pointed me to the website pick224 a few weeks ago, I think it'll improve my drafting, as now I can use even strength points rather than overall points. 1 1 Quote

shrader Posted August 11, 2020 Report Posted August 11, 2020 I'm not sure where we're supposed to talk about this since so many threads are closed. The Rags already have an $11 million wing and now they'll have two more stud prospect wings. Long-term, who is skating between all these wingers? Quote

It's like the old Thrashers all over again I've been questioning if they might pass on Lafreniere and take a center. Everyone seems to be set on them taking him but could they throw a wrench into it? Not likely, but not impossible. Quote
