He can stand at the front of the line over there. 44 minutes ago, Curt said: Matthias Samuelsson says ‘wtf I’m standing right here!’ He's a big boy. I can see him behind Peterka. 😁 Seriously though, winding back the tape, outside of Derek Roy and maybe Peterka, I think we have to go all the way back to John Tucker since we had a 2nd-rounder showing this much offensive upside. Pominville obviously had it, but I didn't think that way the year after we picked him. And I see a fire and an edge to Poltapov's game that none of those guys had.

GASabresIUFAN Posted October 1, 2021 Author Report Posted October 1, 2021 @dudacek When was the last time we had this many 2nd and 3rd rd picks who project easily into the NHL? Maybe never? Samuelsson Portillo, JJP, Poltapov and Kisakov. Quote

I feel better about our current list but I don’t think we should forget how excited people were about some of those guys. The first two probably generated the most excitement but they’re the only ones on the list who aren’t still active. 4 Quote

I’m still surprised that neither Bailey or Baptiste were able to have meaningful NHL careers. maybe there is still hope for Bailey in Vancouver for a bottom line role? Baptiste is in Sweden I think.

I just realized that Novikov is playing in the KHL this season and has such a late birthday. Seems to be doing fairly ok in the K too. 1 Quote

Frankly Novikov has already shown me a lot and looks like an early contender for steal of the draft but what leads you to believe a 6th round pick from this draft is a more likely NHL player than a 3rd? Do you think Kisakov was a teacher or just drafted more for potential vs Kisakov being a “safer” bet? Quote

Kisakov was actually a second-rounder and wasn't a reach there because he has a ton of skill and competes. Kisakov has also played three games already this year in the KHL. But any player drafted at 150 pounds is clearly a pick based on projection. He is literally 60 pounds smaller than Novikov 1 Quote

I also think Novikov has a very team orientated game and Kisakov tries a lot of solo things that doesn't work well in the KHL Kisakov is 25lbs to small for the pros impo. He has a similar issue to Rosen although Rosen is bigger already. It's basically a bet on his skill. Edit: kisakov is 5'10" 150lbs according to Elite Novikov is 6'4" 207lbs Novikov is 9 months younger. Edited October 3, 2021 by LGR4GM 2 Quote
LGR4GM Posted October 3, 2021 Report Posted October 3, 2021 I think Portillo also had a shutout but was Michigan's game just an exhibition? Quote

Doesn’t feel like a lot of recent drafts even if there isn’t as big of an excitement level about Power compared to some others. Quote
Crusader1969 Posted October 3, 2021 Report Posted October 3, 2021 Not to be a downer but Poltapov looks like he might have suffered a major injury. Crawled off the ice after taking a knee on knee hit today. Happened with about 10mins to go in the game 1 Quote
