Michael Pezzetta: 8 years ago (2016)

Draft has evolved a lot since then. Mainly since advancement in analytics. Plus the combine, interviews. What happened in 70s doesn't hold today. I wouldn't go further back than rule changes. When they started the u18 furthest for sure.

When making draft decisions I only back to rule changes. Around 20 years. That way I stay in modern times and still have wide database to work with. Most I ever went back was when u18 started. That was only once. I try hard to study in analytics era.

I find if I go back to '60s,-80s era, game had changed so much it's likely give me wrong opinion.

If you go 20 years, you still have two.

If you remove the 80s and before, you still have 7 out of the 10.

So again, wrong.

I feel like we're collectively sleeping on this guy. Easily our most underrated prospect imo. Anyone know when he's expected to join Laval?

Probably two more years at the SHL level.

Ericksson has a better ppg than Lekkerimaki (drafted 15th), Ostlund (drafted 16th) and Ohgren (19th) in SWE-L.

Lekkerimäki was in the SHL this year.

I wonder how high he would have gone in this year's draft as a 19 year old. It's a really good thing we took a chance on him when he was so under the radar. Our current staff seem to like picking a few overagers though, so we might have been on to him this year anyway. Still, better safe than sorry.

I suspect they’re targeting (with late picks especially) players that have a nice development curve when looking at D-1 and D0 year, betting that they’ll keep improving.

Lekkerimäki was in the SHL this year.

The poster was talking in their respective D+1, all 3 were 2022 draftees and played in the HockeyAllsvenskan in their D+1 like Eriksson did as a 2023 draftee last year.

Lekkerimäki: 0.31
Ostlund: 0.70
Ohgren: 0.56
Eriksson (a year later): 1.142

But I wouldn't put much of anything into that, all 3 had great SHL season last year and we have yet to see Eriksson do a full SHL season.

Played a really intelligent game during the scrimmage today - worked well with Florian. Florian got all the glory but a lot of smart plays and great puck control and passing all over the ice.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

His skating comes off really well on the smaller NA rink, he has a pretty good mix of agility and explosion. He'll be a speedster once he's gained some lower body muscle.
