Rutger McGroarty come on down... please tell me that guy is 6'4" from somewhere very country....

Looked it up. 6'1" Lincoln, Nebraska product that for no other reasons than his name and nationality alone I'm going to will to the Rangers. I'm on a McGroarty watch.

A kid named Rutger? After the Yankees sign a guy named Gerrit? Love the Dutch names in New York sports so I am on board.

Hey, what about this Tyler Brennan? :)
 
Where do you guys get a chance to view most of these kids? I know some of you are pretty dedicated, but is everyone watching straight up live streams?

I have the luxury of having a close friend within NBC send me videos when he works on the draft. With NBC not on contract anymore with the NHL it will be tougher for me to get a handle on the quality stuff.

Usually, prospect shift-by-shift videos are great to view if you can find them on YouTube or scouting sites. I know before the pandemic there was a perfect site called prospectshifts.com (I think that's what it was called at least) that had a big catalog of shift-by-shift videos, but the domain went under. This group on YouTube provided some decent game footage on prospects for the 2021 draft too. Hopefully they can continue for the 2022 class.

All-in-all it will be tough to find on normal consumer experience, but eventually, someone comes along and provides video on the topic.
