Dach w3 apples last night. Playmaking C who sets up high top circle to QB PP. projects as a 20G/70 point type of C. Should go top 5-7.
 
I'm guessing Chayka picks Suzuki if he gets the chance.

OHL
fast
smart
young
premium position
I think the “OHL” part is no longer a given. With all the changes in scouting, I hope we’re again willing to look outside the OHL. We have drafted from a bunch of other leagues too (Keller, POJ) but specifically I’d like to stop ignoring the WHL in the first three rounds.
 
This year especially...but where we are drafting I like Krebs, Turcotte (been hurt which is hurting his draft stock which will help him be there when we pick), Zegras, Pelletier

How do you see his skating compared to Strome's?

It seems Dach could break into the top 5 based on his strong season so far.
 
Obviously not the be all end all of stats, but Dach has put up pretty evenly distributed numbers against teams as well.

Better. Some lists already have him top 5. He's a traditional playmaking creative C.
 
Dach’s skating has nothing at all to do with Strome’s. Dach is a plus skater from what I saw at the U18s. Him and Cozens and Krebs were all good skaters and all surprisingly physical.
 
Guess I should start getting more excited about this great draft class. Watch us get Hughes though, who undoubtedly is an amazing player, but is probably the playstyle that we have an abundence of. If we somehow ended 1st OA I'd have no problem if we drafted Kakko.
 
Has Kakko been cold lately? His stats were eye popping, jaw dropping, steam whistle blowing good when I checked about a month ago. Now, not as much.

His whole team is playing bad hockey at the moment, lost 4 straight. Still 11 points in 19 games is pretty good as a 17 year old in FEL. For example Rantanen had 28 points in 56 games at the same team and age

I think we'll be in position to draft Suzuki (hope) and I certainly wouldn't mind that at all. He does a lot of the little things well, which we seem to just love. I highly doubt we get Hughes but sure, I'll take it.

Hughes all day long at 1. It gets interesting then.

I like Nick a lot more than Ryan from the handful of times of watched each. Nick plus with an edge. There’s forcefulness and swagger in his game. Ryan is much more passive. Kind of a wimpy game. The passivity reminds me too much of Strome. They remind me too much of Domi(Nick) and Strome(Ryan) for me to get very excited about Ryan.

NOTE: these aren’t comparisons. I’m just saying they’re reminiscent. Nick isn’t nearly as mean as Domi and Ryan is actually a very fluid and pretty skater, unlike Strome. The Suzuki’s are stylistically very different from Domi and Strome. The one element I’m attempting to highlight is sturdy and forceful versus soft and passive.

Post-post script: small sample size disclosure. :)
 
We're third worst in points earned. That'll give us some decent odds in the lottery. Maybe Gary will let us win this one.

That's a good one. Good one.

You almost had me for a second.

Yotes are currently fifth worst according to dropyourgloves, when number of games are factored in.

Yotes will pick 8th if no playoffs.
