2023 Draft and UFA Thread

[GEEMAN]

So button really liked this Sandin-Pellikka kid? I wonder if he's right.

Solid puck mover but I like Hutson`s upside more

He reminds me of Sandin on the Leafs , I like Reinbacher more

Big kid with good skill

Sandin sucks.

 

[Habspatrol]

Curious if he is closer to 5`10" vs 6 feet

Cristall is a hell of a talent in the WHL if we can get a third first but he might go lottery

@worm can you track him down after the game and let us know if you have to look up... or waaaay up at him.

 

[Habsy]

Just bring your golf range finder

 

[GEEMAN]

Sandin sucks.

He is average at best but a darling at the WJC , where players get overrated like Romanov

Worm is 6`9"

Worm is 6`9"

Whoa whoa whoa

A man's preference of position is no business of yours young man!

I've read he sits in the tsn feed room and watches daily for a few hours.

He might, I wouldn't fault him if he does. I bet he's working to replace Bob McKenzie at TSN for the go-to guy when Bob decides to go into full retirement.

That's what Boisvert does as well. He uses a paid site that will isolate all of a player's shifts in a game and he'll be able to watch a prospect's full game in 20 or so minutes. He would be, in theory, able to watch every single game for the whole season in a few days if he wanted. While he says that he gets much more from watching a game in person than watching on tape, he's able to bang out multiple games / night.

Cristall looks very nice, but he's small. I would think long & hard about him with our second first.

I just wish there were more defensemen that were ranked high.

Nobody my age is as young as me.

Last year was that year. Nemec might be better than them all.

Small but highly skilled

Agreed on the D , no point reaching this year

There are no Nemec or Jiricek studs

I hope I am wrong but both these D might have better careers than Slaf

 

[Habsy]

I'm not giving up on Slafkovsky. He seems to have the fortitude to push through.

Cristall was two years behind my son at BWC for minor hockey. He is tiny but no surprise, his mom has to be maybe 4'11 and his dad maybe 5'8.

 

[hairnova]

Going to watch Yager tonight.

Full report please.

 

[Krustchev]

Nobody my age is as young as me.

I believe that’s accurate.

 

[worm]

Full report please.

Best I can do is general observations.

 

[lecoqsportif]

And he’s 18.
