Nope, I've scouted 15 players not counting overagers

I did a top 16. I’ll probably wait to do a full 1st round until I have some more time to scout around, super busy until xmas pretty much lol

john marino 2.0 maybe

Cracks Knuckles

1. Arizona Coyotes = Wright

32. Anaheim Ducks (From Tampa) = Mateychuk

So were gonna see another robbery happen oh boy....

Cant believe Pittsburgh paid a 6th round pick to get Marino. Its right up there with Chicago getting Kubalik for a 7th

In the past 30 years, there have only been three NCAA dmen that paced a point per game or higher in their D+1 season (Werenski, Fox and Q. Hughes). Power and L. Hughes are currently both over a point per game in the 2021-22 season and they play for the same team.

Question for both of y’all (AND anyone else);

Keeping your same rankings how would you rate each player in terms of NHL readiness?

Like 1-2 years or now etc?

Obviously a lot would have to depend on fit/what team selects them, but IMO Wright, Slafkovsky(already a beast), Kemell, and Savoie could start the following year. The top D's are a little harder to predict. I think tho like most drafts 2-3 years is a safe bet for most.

I think Brent Johnson could be a steal. I like how he plays a lot, and the Caps already had one Brent Johnson that turned out alright.

Agreed

Who is the best goalie in the class of 2022 so far

Tyler Angle has been ripping the AHL apart as of late. Good use of a 7th round pick.

There’s no Wallstedt, Cossa, Askarov or Knight equivalent in this draft. I can't see a goalie going in the first round but IMO Topias Leinonen could be the first goalie taken.

EliteProspects says Tyler Brennan from the Prince George Cougars of the WHL is the top goalie prospect but there is a goalie named “Braden Holt”. Personally I want Washington to pick Holt up. You can see why.

That’s crazy and we are trading for Holtby this year

I wouldn't get my hopes up on that second part. I don't see why Dallas would deal him and honestly I don't think management wants him. There's a reason we let him walk a couple years ago.

😔

Boris Katchouk said he kind of “blacked out” before scrum with Zdeno Chara. “Felt cross check to neck and just turned around has started punching. Joked he punched Chara in stomach because he’s so tall. “I didn’t really think at all,” he said.

Throw punches and ask questions later. Even if it's Chara.

Edit: Oh crap. I put this in the prospect thread not the season discussion.
Well, Katchouk is kind of a prospect still
I'm so use to just clicking on the top thread in the NHL category.

Kings have signed Gabe Vilardi down to the AHL

— David Pagnotta (@TheFourthPeriod) November 16, 2021

I could see maybe MTL or NYR target him should LAK look to move him

Vilardi for Kravtsov who says no?

Kings imo but idk they could use a good winger

The Rangers could always argue injury history.

If Cody Glass can be flipped for Nolan Patrick, I think this is as best-case for both clubs if and only if the Kings want to flip Gabe for that high-end winger they've been looking for.

I hope the Habs take a look at Vilardi, but we don't have any surplus of prospects at a specific position for a prospect swap. LDs Guhle, Romanov are needed, so are RD Mailloux and G Primeau. All others aren't valuable enough and Poehling doesn't make sense for the Kings to downgrade at center for.
