Because two morons, Pens Report and Patrick Bacon have unqualified opinions? Lol.well thats a bit of downer
He’s not the only one…Ryan Wilson hates it, so by default I love the pick. Anything that makes that dork ass nerd throw a tantrum is a plus.
Ryan Wilson may be one of the most miserable human beings on the planet.
Anyway, not gonna pretend to know anything about the guy, but I like that it’s not some safe “this guy projects to be a solid two way forward” type of pick.
give me some qualified ones ...Because two morons, Pens Report and Patrick Bacon have unqualified opinions? Lol.
They would have said he was a sure-thing star a year ago.Oh my god these charts for prospects are straight up Pejorative Slured.
Yager could be 1, 2, or 3 years away. It all depends on whether he puts together the goalscoring from last year with the playmaking of this year. But either way, he has the wheels, intensity, and defensive responsibility. He’s going to make the league and be a good player for us (assuming he doesn’t become a chip in a win-now move). It’s just a matter of when and how big of a role.Yager has plus plus skating and does not play small. Got those intangibles Sully will love if he’s still around.
After frying the WHL last year, the only criticism was uncertainty about his playmaking and how well he used his teammates. This year, he showed he had those attributes in spades, but his goal scoring took a step back.
You don’t just lose his elite snapper. Yager is a guy to get excited about.
Watching a few of his highlights from last season, he can read defenses pretty well and make nice passes. Improving on that, at that age is a good sign.Never dug much into him as I didn't see things about him that made me excited compared to the others
Now I am, I feel like I'm reading about different players with different profiles. Fantastic skater! Fantastic straight line speed but bad edges! Average skater! Good playmaker, bad playmaker, always engaged, sometimes a float, limited upside, big upside...
About the only thing agreed on is he's defensively responsible and he can really shoot.
I'm gonna keep digging but right now I'm a little ho-hum.
Also whoever is our WHL scout clearly knows how to make a pitch
He’s not the only one…
Considering his defensive game, I wouldn't be shocked to see him in two years.Ryan Wilson thought the pick we get now was gonna become a regular in the NHL in the next 2 years? Lol.
Was hoping for a trade, too, but given no trades have happened, perhaps teams aren't willing to move firsts because of the depth of the draft.Wish we traded the pick, but whatever. Yager is a decent pick.
Patrick Bacon had Michkov ahead of Bedard and Simashev in like the 4th round.give me some qualified ones ...
57 guys were preferred over Kucherov during his draft. My faith in their ability to project squat is minimal.Yah i wouldn't put too much stock on graphs for prospects lol.
I don’t think there’s a single hockey trait or skill that Perreault is better than Yager at.I'd have probably taken a shot with Perreault. Expected Wood or ASP, tbh. Was holding my breath as Buffalo was picking that maybe Benson would make it, but no dice. Oh well, we'll see what happens.
ok
