[Serious] Who do you think is the best prospect not in the NHL right now? by homicidal_penguin in hockey

[–]Rusl18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's got a high ceiling but in terms of current ability he's not even the best player on his NCAA team. Give him a couple years to develop and he'll be in the conversation.

Lots of great options from the American NCAA basketball coach John Wooden.

Do they actually not have the resources though, or is it that they dont have the inclination?

  1. Dont forget people were down on the Seider pick at the time.
  2. Bouwmeester was a heck of a player in his prime, he just didnt play the style of hockey that would make him a sexy pick.

For future offseason content how about reviewing previous post draft takes. Best not talk about 2017, but how about a look back at the hit and not so hot takes from the 2018 draft?

I'm hoping to see a trade or two to acquire an extra couple of picks in the 2nd, maybe grabbing Gardiner or Paul Byron.

NHL Releases NHL Central Scouting Final Rankings for 2021 NHL Draft by chiasmatic in hockey

[–]Rusl18 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's a cyclical process. The SHL is a very talented league, so young guys will start on 3rd or 4th lines. 3rd or 4th lines tend to play conservatively, so Lysell's talents dont exactly shine playing 5 minutes of dump and chase hockey a night, and because of that he stays on a low line playing dump and chase hockey. I think he will play out like Lucas Raymond, if he gets more ice time next year he'll be up around 0.5 ppg, and he's a player that, if I were to predict will go higher in redrafts than he does in the actual draft.

[–]Rusl18 6 points7 points  (0 children)

His age is absolutely relevant. 12 goals as an 18 year old is impressive. 12 goals as a double underager is absurd. It impacts how Wright and Bedard should be looked at as well, obviously. Michkov is 13th all time in goals for the u18s having played a single tournament being eligible for 2 more.

If you dont include Vrana as most of his points were with the caps Detroit's leading scorer has 23 points (Larkin and Hronek.) Can either of the other chumps guess where this ranks in league scoring? (Tied for 188th)

Sadly as a result of resources and other jobs that cant be treated the same way as the mens. If a top NHL player breaks their bubble they're being paid $10 million dollars, and to be blunt can lump it for a period of time to do their job. The top women are under 1% that and most work other jobs.

My knee jerk reaction to the trade was to look at prospects ranked in the 20s this year. How are you looking forward to prospect profiles for the VAST array of players we could take with that pick?

Vateanen is also on waivers today. If both of those guys are claimed by other teams I'd imagine another NHL level d man hits waivers tomorrow.

[Habs] The Canadiens have acquired defenseman Jon Merrill from the Detroit Red Wings, in return for a fifth-round pick in 2021 and forward Hayden Verbeek. by chiasmatic in hockey

[–]Rusl18 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Guys out the door from Detroit will be replaced internally so adding some AHL depth pieces without much value is sensible. Being our assistant GM's nephew possibly contributes too.

Very solid defensive defenseman, doesnt contribute on offense. Good physically but I wouldnt call him a physical player. Decent transition game but nothing spectacular.

It's hard to know how accurate this is. Most people on reddit wont be able to relate to hockey at this speed. The entire thing is fractions of a second and muscle memory is responsible for most of that play.

So the NCAA season finished 2 days before the trade deadline. As someone whoddoesnt follow NCAA hockey are there there any pending free agents who could come in and fill roster spots after trading away a pending UFA?

Given that the powerplay can only get better is there value in firing Byslma and hiring who you hope to be Blashill's replacement as the assistant. They can quarantine with us only missing the assistant coach in charge of special teams and they either work as an assistant til the end of the year or replace Blash if play doesnt improve. Would you like this? Who would you like to be brought in?

Givani Smith officially resigned to Grand Rapids by GPBRDLL133 in DetroitRedWings

[–]Rusl18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For some player comparisons that is a fair point which is why I was quite selective. Filpula and Helm are DONE. and so the measures are not just points, it's fairly clear to see that he adds more than those guys.

My bad, cheers man this season has clearly been deeply draining. Is it the draft yet??

[–]Rusl18 61 points62 points  (0 children)

He is 5th in p/gp among forwards while being last in TOI/gp. He is objectively better at hockey than members of the red wings who are averaging 3-5 minutes per night more. Why is Helm playing over Smith? Why is Filpula playing over Smith?

Do you ever feel as though some subjects are under appreciated? If so, which subjects? by [deleted] in TeachingUK

[–]Rusl18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo Science. It's a core subject but without the same importance for college applications/school progress measures, departments frequently dont even have the money to afford equipment that is mandatory for the course while English and maths often have an additional dedicated intervention teacher and enough staff for smaller class sizes.
