Kinda tragic that Tracey and Perreault aren't even the top wings.I posted this in the previous thread but I thought I’d copy it here.
Potential rookie tournament lineup:
Nesterenko-Carlsson-Pastujov
Regenda-Gaucher-Perreault
Tracey-Terrance-Sidorov
Myatovic-King-Pitre
Hvidston-Lopina-Caulfield
Wiebe-McLaughlin?
Mintyukov-Helleson
Hinds-Zellweger
LaCombe-Luneau
Dionicio-Warren (injured?)
Smith-Port
Clang
Alexander

If Hinds isn't comfortable on the other side, he could also be paired with Drysdale. I assume if everyone works out, Minty, Drysdale, and Zell will each be on a different pair. Warren/Helleson would be on the 3rd pair (with Zell probably). It also depends on if we can get a RD in the draft next year.I'd prefer if we trained Hinds to play RD than Zellweger. We're not deep at RD. Warren is oft injured and Moore is a junior at Harvard (remember Thrun went to Harvard). Luneau and Warren are headed back to the Q. We're missing grit and having a Defensive d-man of the year at RD acclimate to the NHL level sooner, the better. Also, I think Hinds is or will be a better defenseman than Helleson.
Here's what EA thinks of our draft:
Clara – AHL Starter
Port – Top 6
Dionicio - AHL Top 2
Smith – AHL Top 2
Pitre – Top 9
Terrance – Top 9
Myatovic – Bottom 6
Sidorov – AHL Top 6

Oh ok, I thought he was on the left. In that case, having him be able to play either side would be huge... could compliment Minty, Drysdale, or Zellweger.Hinds has been playing RD in juniors, like Zellweger.
Sergei Fedotov said that Matvey Michkov did not want to be selected by Washington in the NHL draft.
The forward was drafted by Philadelphia .
“Two days [before the draft] I got a call from Anaheim scout Konstantin Krylov. Our most legendary scout of NHL clubs . They had a video conference. Anaheim seriously considered Matvey Michkov .
All incoming factors, which, of course, were objective, influenced the rating somewhere.
But those negotiations that Maxim Moliver (Matvey Michkov's agent in the NHL) had with Philadelphia, and the desire of Matvey himself - everything came together in this club.
The city, the region, the contract with SKA, the very desire of the player - everything came together.
Yes, there was no desire to be in Arizona. There wasn't at all. I told the author of this idea, some kind of insider, that this was specially started so that Matvey Michkov got into Washington.
Matvey Michkov did not want to get into Washington. From the word at all. This desire was mutual. I understand that it is beautiful.
I did not refute, I do not have a telegram channel - that this is a complete blizzard. But this is a complete blizzard.
This is such a journalistic job, when a person himself came up with it, he himself passed it off as some kind of insider, and everyone is like that - in!
I was asked if Matvey regrets that he did not get into Washington. I'm smiling. He didn't want to go to Washington. From the word at all.
“Arizona” and “ Washington ” are two clubs that are definitely ... For different reasons, ”said the representative of the hockey player in Russia and a former scout of the Russian national team, Sergei Fedotov.
I remember there being a big kerfuffle about doing it before training camp...whoever runs it could consider waiting until it's done.When are we doing prospect polls this year?
Last year was weird because of the world junior. We normally do it before training camp.I remember there being a big kerfuffle about doing it before training camp...whoever runs it could consider waiting until it's done.
Also, if we do this now Carlsson might end up being ranked 10th.

I was planning to start it once we go a week without any moves, which would be next Thursday (signed Hagg on Wednesday), though if we start being active before then I'll wait a bit. Anxious to do it this year but last thing I want is for say a DeBrincat trade to screw it upWhen are we doing prospect polls this year?

My only opinion on the topic is that it should end by the start of rookie camp. One, because it helps fill a gap in time when nothing else is happening. And two, it helps avoid some recency bias that that can pop up after rookie camp. (But mostly, it’s reason #1)For what it's worth, I think 90% of the stink was from bsu and his reasoning was that "the rankings will change in the future" which is just how the passage of time works. I think it's always been a summer poll and not one that we start at training camp and it makes more sense to come at this from a consistent frame of reference which is the summer. Plus it'll give us something to talk about over the summer besides who did well or not in a 3v3 scrimmage.
This. Although it could be fun doing some sort of poll after rookie camp and preseason and what not where we discuss which prospects raised their stock the most.My only opinion on the topic is that it should end by the start of rookie camp.
