2023 Draft Discussion

[lilidk]

Anyone know anything about Charlie Stramel? He is a right shot center playing at Wisconsin. He is already 6’3 216?pounds. Supposedly he skates well. This is according to the hockey writers. Thanks.

We could get him with our second first. Big guy, good hockey IQ , play physical game

Got Detroit in a mock on the mock draft board.

Any suggestions? Late round picks? Sleepers?

EDIT: 3 2nds in a row.

Dragicevic, But, Sawchyn ,Molgard,

Idk if he is worth it. Have not watched him at all

My late round favourites are Elias Zimmerman, Jacob Stancil, Anton Olssen, Donovan McCoy, and Carey Terrance.

I think Terrance will go in the 2nd or 3rd.

Love your choices!

I like Terrance as a late round guy. Another guy that caught my eyes as a mid round guy is Mathieu Cataford. I know the Q stinks but I like the skill I've seen.

My three second round picks would hopefully be Tom Willander, Anton Whalberg, and Carson Rhekopf

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

This draft is all over the place. Pronman has Danielson at #6. EliteProspects has him at #26. And just a few months before the draft.

I'd be happy with that. Wahlberg and Rhekopf both have the tools to be effective physical bottom 6 guys with potential for more. Willander bolsters our RD pool.

Give me Moore and Barlow/Leonard in addition to that and I'm one happy camper.

Players that Pronman is way off the consensus are generally players that he’s way wrong about. In a lot of ways he has biases similar to Scouching with a heavy emphasis on flashy puck play over technical/fundamental prowess and overall effectiveness.

That said, I like what I’ve seen from Danielsson but #6? That’s a bit rich.

It’s weird to me everyone on here likes Leonard but not Danielson. I think Danielson is a better version of Leonard that is more likely to play down the middle.

I don't see the same level of goal scoring from Danielson as Leonard. Leonard is also more physical and better at puck battles. Their skating is close, and I'm no expert in evaluating skating.

I think they bring similar qualities and have a similar projection. Maybe Leonard is a better scorer? I don’t know. A lot of it I would say is close, but Danielson is 2 inches bigger and has been playing center all year.

I don’t see why people on here don’t at least view them similarly, but people don’t really seem to like CHL prospects on this board too much I guess.

Yeah, I am hoping he lasts that long but doubt that it happens

probably because of the production. Leonard flirting with 2 ppg. Ya he’s on a stacked line and so it’s hard to say what danielson would do if they were to switch places

Lol but this board doesn’t like the leading scorer from that team or Smith…

Can’t figure it out

Nobody has outright said they don’t like Danielson. But in a side by side I think that Leonard is just better in all facets. I’m less worried about Danielson potentially sticking at center.

if Leonard was our guy and he goes bye bye before our pick I’m more inclined to look harder at Danielson.

Fair, there just has been like no chatter on him… and I see him as a good fit for us if he is there with the second pick.

Most of the consensus has Leonard higher, so I get it. Personally I think they both are well rounded forwards who could be really good complementary players on a line.

I like Danielson and Ziemmer as fits for us a lot.

We're all biased towards the "Yzerman picks." To be fair those picks have worked out damn well. I wouldn't mind seeing an injection of offense focused guys though.

 

[lilidk]

If Draper think that he is the guy ,he wants, he will add second and trades up

 

[SantosHalper]

Y'all got any more of those Kasper's?

I think Leonard may have a bit more skill and jam but I do think they are of the same general quality. I don't feel compelled to draft a center in the first round but would be totally fine with Danielson. Both are on my list.

If Draper think that he is the guy ,he wants, he will add second and trades up

He could, but the numbers suggest we should just make all three of those 2nd round picks if we don't move them for established players.

When I saw Danielson highlights get impressions

But Danielson is almost 2022 draft and you know Yzerman likes to pick those kind prospects. Most important it depends what kind of interviews they have because they all looks good, but you need to get right personality

 

[dtown77]

Can we just draft all centers?
