Clearly a really good kid. And further to your follow-up comment, I agree. I didn't look at him too closely pre-draft, but looking at him now, he's got a lot of skill and is clearly a character kid. Needs to fill-out and work on strength like most kids not called Cayden Lindstrom, but the base...
Another new Demigod vid by a scout for Dobber Prospects. Highlights his insane creativity. But also what concerned me about him, his 10-2 skating style leaving him vulnerable to injuries. Hope our staff works with him to adapt his style using more of the outer edges to mitigate potential injury...
It's Ok. We can all have different opinions. That's what forums are for and it would be boring as hell otherwise. But for the record, I didn't form my opinion on only viewing his bad moments. He's extremely skilled. Is a fantastic skater. But I question his IQ, his defense, and his...
Fair enough. So if you aren't watching videos of his play or watching him live, what are you basing your opinion on? Of course scouts get it wrong all the time. It's not a perfect science. Guess time will tell. I'm just saying based on all the video, including full shift-by-shift videos, I've...
Watch the video and get back to me. NCAA vs NHL is obviously apples and oranges. If you watch this and still think he's a stud. Then we can agree to disagree. He has to make a seismic shift between his ears to be anywhere close to a "200 foot beast top pair D". Seabrook was fantastic...
That's what the hype says, sure. But I highly doubt that. Here's a great analysis. The vids don't lie. I think he's vastly overrated.

Thank god they made a massive mistake (IMO). There are a couple of very well done video breakdowns/analysis of Levshunov's play. I see a total trainwreck. Really poor decision-making. High-risk defensively. Low compete and lazy defensively. But watch, he'll turn into the next Bobby Orr now...
Dude No doubt. Can you imagine him on the point, Slaf off that right half-wall, or net-front, Suzuki and Caulfield left half-wall and down low...and Maillioux with that bomb from the point? I'm pretty stoked for next season!
I understand that perspective. I guess it comes down to how much one values McGraorty. I see him as a ceiling 2nd liner with some jam. It's not like we're talking about Ryan Leonard. So for me, it's a big no. Especially if any of the rumors about his demands are true. Again, I would rather trust...
I did a detailed breakdown on Cooley's production on that "other" site when ppl were screaming that we should've picked him over Slaf. Bottom line is, the large majority of his points came from sheltered minutes. Most were pp points and/or playing with Arizona's top players. He really was a...
I think so too. Either way, just in case it's still confusing on our CGY pick for taking Monahan (still can't believe Hugh's coup here) that's a part of this rumour...
For 2025, if both Calgary and Florida picks are not in the bottom 10, then we get the better of the two picks in 2025. If...
Problem is, we don't have many good samples to properly assess a kid that's only played in college. No AHL, no NHL. I also don't put a ton of weight into WJC and such. So I hear ya. But again, this is actually the only comparable we have with him versus players mostly vying for the same NHL...
Then you have a little bitch in the room...pouting and such. Haha. And what if he sucks at training camp and you just traded a 1st and 2 young prospects?
