Prospect Info: 2020-2021 Senators Prospect Watch

[Wallet Inspector]

Roby got an assist on PP goal.

Guy's almost young enough to be a 2021 prospect, yet doesn't look out of place in Liiga.

Still early, but that's got me excited.

 

[Philadelphia Collins]

It kills me that the year Ottawa had the most exciting draft and prospect pool in like two decades, and we have no rookie camp right after the draft to get hyped over

His tools are nuts.

Much like a squirrel.

Could be a Quinn type riser in the 2021 first round if he was a few days younger ...

We should try to sneak him back into the draft just to get some buzz going.

And then YANK HIM OUT AT THE LAST MINUTE!

 

[Salva Mea]

stone-bran trade kill us... look at RW situation whole liga..

we have best D prospects ... very good LWs... if stutzle will b C.. also c no problem..

but RW.. only bath :>...


we lost one of the best RW, leader and no old player

it was very bad trade after all.. for our organization and future.

 

[Dingleberry]

Roby got an assist on PP goal.

Another one today!

 

[Karl Prime]

If Jarventie goes near PPG in Liiga then that's very, very promising.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

If Jarventie goes near PPG in Liiga then that's very, very promising.

if he does that it would be legitimate top 10 pick production. great start so far

im a fan of taking these late year birthdays as long as the skill is there. They seem to explode a lot.

 

[Xspyrit]

Kotkaniemi had 29 pts in 57 games at 17 y/o. Kakko had 38 pts in 45 games

If he outscores that even if he's 18 y/o, it's very promising

Look at 18 years old players :

Joel Armia played in Finland? Huh.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Joel Armia played in Finland? Huh.

He was born there!

One of the more hyped Finish prospects of the past 10 years. Honestly, not a terrible comparison for Jarventie. Big, highly skilled, great shot, needs to improve skating.

 

[aragorn]

Lots of possible good combinations with a future team now:

Tkachuk - Stutzle - Batherson
Formenton - Norris - Guenther (2021 draft)
Jarventi - L. Brown - Sokolov
Paul - Kastelic - Pinto

Chabot - JBD
Sanderson - Thomson
Kleven - Schmidt (2021 draft)

Murray - Hogberg/Daccord

Armia is also not a bad comparison (very useful player on a 3rd line) but haven't seen anywhere through reports and videos that Jarventie needs to improve skating

Roby Jarventie Scouting Report: 2020 NHL Draft #67

Skating

Jarventie is an excellent skater. He has a powerful stride and generates excellent speed. His first step is very quick and his acceleration is excellent. Jarventie uses his ability to change speeds as a weapon off the rush. He can take a defender wide and cut to the net. Jarventie also has outstanding edgework. His ability to change directions and make quick cuts makes him tough to defend both with and without the puck. He is also strong on his skates. He can fight through checks and take the puck to the net. Jarventie also has good balance. He can fight for the puck in the corners and in front of the net.

Strengths

• Excellent shot.
• Incredibly fast for his size.
• Has a great passing IQ.
• Overall great offensive toolkits.

It seems to be his game without the puck that will have to improve if he wants to become a NHLer.

I don't know why I thought Armia was Canadian.

Agreed. Jarventie has a great stride and when he matures should be a very powerful skater.

I've said it before but I just see Zibanejad (in terms of style) when I watch highlights of this kid. I think he could be huge, fast and have one hell of a shot. I love this pick and wish we made more picks like this. I think he has top line potential.

Well.. yeah.

Except for Kleven being a smooth passer. LOL. It's the area that he needs to improve the most. Hopefully he does.

He sounded like a number of people on hear crying about the lack of skill all the time & then tells us about the three goal scorers the Sens picked up after the 1st rd. THREE besides Stutzle. Only time will tell if this draft turns into a complete disaster or if a few of these guys turn into diamonds in the rough, but IMO the team got better.

The future looks bright IMO with the additions of Stutzle, Sanderson, Kleven, Sokolov, Jarventie & adding a #1 goalie in Murray. And then they still have their 2021 #1 pick & 3 2nd rd picks coming next draft. I think they improved the bottom of the order substantially with this draft as well as their complete future left side on D. I guess people can either choose to see the benefits these players add or not.

I'm sure @aragorn is just loving all the size that was drafted last tuesday.

Anyone else stopped reading after this?

"So, instead of grabbing boom-or-bust prospects, they went for safer, more established players who mostly have a shot at becoming depth players in the NHL"

I mean, Jarventie, Kleven and Sokolov are pretty much boom or bust prospects, none has a limited ceiling at the moment, and none has a "safe floor"

Heck, you could even argue that with the goalie in 3rd round, they are looking for another boom prospect, even though they didn't need depht in the goalie pipeline and made a reach to get this kid.
