That's a good point, I thought there was a gap before he signed his deal. I don't know how much control the team has where a player goes after they sign a deal. I figured there was still some level of free will? But I can't say I know how that works.
That's not where I was getting at. He made GR after signing his entry level. So, the plan was to probably keep him over in NA but covid.
Yeah sorry, I was responding to that post above yours while also responding to yours. Should have quoted both.
Makes sense.
Boston had picks 13, 14, and 15 in 2015. They took Zboril, DeBrusk, and Senyshyn. Barzal, Connor, and Chabot were all taken directly after.
When I do the FC draft I take Danil But, Samuel Honsek, and Carson Rehkroft every time. I don’t think any of them will be there but it makes for a great draft coupled with the first rounders
I will never forget that day, I was out and about parked in front of the store and I said I want to see who Detroit drafts before we go in...
The proposition is that Yzerman passed on drafting certain players because of the development path ahead of them or the path they had purportedly chosen. I don't think Seider supports or refutes that proposition one way or another. Frankly, I am very skeptical that we will ever have evidence that he passed on a particular player because of where he was playing. For the record, by draft week Seider was not expected to be taken in the mid first. It was widely reported that Yzerman tried to trade down but ultimately decided against it because he thought someone else was hot to take him.
I'm guessing you meant my post? I know my theory sounds very odd but that's the way i see it, maybe im reading too much in to the situation but the numbers are just so lopsided. To me it's seems unlikely to be just a coincidence.
I should been more clearer on this subject. I don't believe that the developmental path matters when it comes to the players selected from the 1st round, since Red Wings are getting high picks. You can expect the players to challenge for a NHL spot within 2 years after the draft, goalies are different obviously.
When Tuomisto was drafted it was Draper or Yzerman, who said that Tyler Wright was really high on him. Draper also said that Hakan Andersson was literally pounding the table to draft Liam Dover-Nilsson. Draper has been high on gritty forwards through out of his front office career.
It's takes much longer to develop defenseman than forward, besides, we just drafted Zadina, Veleno and Berggren. Yzerman decided draft heavily D, Broberg had his flows and Seider just played for German national team and was excellent stay home D. So Yzerman desided to get Seider. Guys we just got lucky that Seider is such a complete player, not just excellent stay home defenseman .
I wouldn’t complain. You can’t deny what he’s done this year. He’s in great company statistically. Is he an Yzerman type though?
he’s the anti zadina.
I had almost the exact same thing. Leaving ikea and sitting in the parking lot to wait for the pick. Wanted Zegras there and was speechless after Seider was announced
Wood is growing on me. I don't mind taking a chance on a guy with skating issues who's really good at everything else. Fantilli is spoiling peoples expectations of what good NCAA production in a draft year looks like. In any other draft I think Wood would (lol) be getting a lot more attention.
Depends on who wants to dance, but yeah, around that.
Out 2018 draft we got 3 NHL players, one second and 2 first round
