Prospect Info: 2021 NHL Draft Thread

[Morry83]

Saad heard of Wyatt Johnston for the first time tonight

 

[Satan]

That bacon guy had Pastujov 6th on his list so I’m not gonna put a ton of stock in his evals

Pastujov is a good boy tho

 

[Starry Knight]

Twitter Stats Guys don't consider context, just model outputs.

I bet it's a great model with the 4 dimensions of data you can rip from EliteProspects.

LOLOLOLOL MTL

 

[Captain Awesome]

Theoretically, a good model would try and account for being on a crappy team. My heart goes out to anyone trying to make an analytics model for minor leaguers, the stats aren't exactly easy to come by, so these guys are probably charting stuff out by hand by themselves instead of scooping it up from a database.

Holy f***ing shit, those montreal douchebags just took Mailloux.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

This dude needs to understand how his own model works and doesn't work, clearly he is f***ing clueless on what is going on with the data because of NO OHL SEASON.

 

[BG44]

WOW .... what in the actual eff.

 

[Satan]

HAHAHA OH MY GOD BERGEVIN

 

[Smelling Salt]

Saad lurks HF.

Saad is a mediocre hockey writer, at best

 

[Henderson33]

Scored low in D-1???? He was on a terrible Windsor team and still came 14th in rookie scoring.

His "model" shows Sasha Pastujov at #6 and Olen Zellweger at #7.

Thats really all you need to know about the guy.

 

[Zapp]

Pastujov is a good boy tho

I like Sasha a lot, he’s not a top 10 talent though.

 

[Kcb12345]

Holy shit they did not just draft him lmao

 

[Satan]

I like Sasha a lot, he’s not a top 10 talent though.

couldve been nice at 23....... or corson

 

[Nikki Potnick]

agree there, but im no scout. I liked last years draft so lets hope he keeps that going

Lets just hope for a killer day tmw as a Dallas Fan

Neither am I, just a casual fan. Overall, I'm barely satisfied with drafting, I just think the 1st round would be something I could do better.

Tufte quit the USHL so he could dominate high school (also because he sucked in the OHL). Johnston's 16yo OHL season is more impressive than anything Tufte has ever done in hockey.

I'm not here to directly compare him to Tufte, just saying my feelings towards drafting him are similar, despite their circumstances.

Johnston has a projectable skillset. Do you think Johnston wasn't scouted in his first OHL season and just sat at home eating cheetos the past year?

Lottery pick, that's all I'm saying. Missing his draft year season is a lot to just gamble on for a 1st round pick. Reminds me of Nolan Patrick (don't come back with some rebuttal with Patrick and Johnston, that's not the point I'm making).

Was just going to say lets all take a second to stand up and bow that we arent Hab fans

 

[Captain Awesome]

I hope this guy's daughter kicks him in the gnads when he comes home.

Also I think it says a lot that Bergevin is also connected to the travesty in Chicago. Quelle gros connard.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

His "model" shows Sasha Pastujov at #6 and Olen Zellweger at #7.

Thats really all you need to know about the guy.

Zellweger put up 12 points in his rookie WHL season, so where is the low D-1 numbers there?

This Bacon dude needs to give up on scouting.

 

[Zapp]

couldve been nice at 23....... or corson

for sure, if he’s available to us in the 2nd you 100% pull the trigger

 

[M88K]

good for Montreal

 

[KristichBabych]

Take a picture Bergy and have a good sleep!

 

[Magic Mittens]

@Satan whos the other Stars fan that lives in Calgary with us?

 

[Henderson33]

Well hell, Wyatt Johnston is looking damn good right now.

 

[BG44]

Doesn't Molson own Montreal ... amd I remembering that wrong?

They may take some heat on this one ... deserved.

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

Well, we didn't make the absolute worst pick in the first round. Might not even be in bottom 3.

 

[BG44]

The league is looking great right here ..... the Bergevin pick right into Stan Bowman.
