Filip Zadina - Prospect-Stats

I dunno man, that kinda seems like the place to score from.

On set-up plays.

Svech and Walhstrom are able to score from all over place, which means more creativity and adaptability.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

I think I would have Dobson in there. Maybe in the place of hughes though...

IMO that would be a mistake

Zadina scores consistently at the hash mark or close to the net, no matter the play.

He has as good a shooting array as anyone else in this draft. Wahlstrom's wrister might be better, but thats it.

Zadina scores consistently at the hash mark or close to the net, no matter the play.

The majority of his goals are concentrated in the two faceoff circles.

Go look at the scoring charts between Zadina, Svech and Wahly

Where did you find heat maps for Wahlstrom?

Exactly, and that's where goals are scored in the NHL.

I had Dobson at 8 and then just went with 7. It does get interchangeable by tier. I really wonder if Kotkaniemi could be a 1C.

Some youtuber.. it seemed to fit with what i saw

I'm starting to have deviant ''Kotkaniemi is a 1C'' thoughts.

OK, you're really down on Tkachuk. Yeah Bouchard & Smith seem close to me. I think I would take Bouchard if forced to choose.

I like Bouchard, but I think I’d pick Smith before him.

Dahlin
Svechnikov
Wahlstrom
Boqvist
Zadina
Hughes
Dobson
Kotkaniemi
Smith
Bouchard

Pekar looks good everytime I watch him.

Not that there's anytjing wrong with that.

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

I still have a great feeling about the lottery this year
I've had it from like March, I really think we will draft 1st overall

Well than you should go bet on mise-o-jeu, you would make 8x your money.

 

[Lebowski]

How good has Boqvist looked so far? Does his production reflect his play?

If he's as good as he seems, I can't imagine passing up on him for a winger.

He's smart. He's good. He's young. He's got abilities that are rare.

Was kinda ho-hum until the Belarus game, but he's really flourished since then. He was deadly against Canada today, we were lucky to escape with the win.

Brian Wilde throwing turds straight out of McCaggs orifices.

 

[yianik]

I know the BPA v. Need argument. But if we can take Boqvist as high as 3, can you really have an issue with it ? I mean he should slot in the top pair sooner than later. One hole plugged.

Kotkaniemi's name is encouraging. I noticed McCagg has him at 6.

 

[The Great Weal]

I would be quite upset with Bouchard.

It’s not encouraging if they draft him at 6.

Scary part is we know Grant knows something. But to what extent?

No. He's been hyped up as the 3rd best player for a long time and exposure mostly cost him this spot, if not he'd probably still be there.
