Prospect Info: 2023 Draft Thread (Yotes picking #6 & #12)

[Sinurgy]

Wait for U18's. That's where you will see the recency bias in full effect.

In the case of OEL and Makar, that bias was a good thing!

Nemec was getting zero top 2 consideration in March. Plenty of time for risers to rise.

Woah woah woah. You cannot say Zero. Lol. I had him at 2

I’m pretty sure I was his #1 fan and had him at 4th. Haha.

Wood is probably the biggest riser lately, maybe Danielson but not everyone has the same opinion on him. Although that's also true of Wood, though less so.

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

I wish I could predict that Wood could improve his skating to NHL standards...he'd be a top 10 pick if so.

Let someone like STL who have an extra late 1st take that risk. I'd rather risk a teens pick on Sale for a pure upside pick. But id much prefer taking Moore at 12 than either haha.

Seens like Moore is getting a ton of love lately too. I feel like he has had a bit of a Cooley mis-scouting early on and now people are seeing the full potential. I'm still digging deeper but he seems like a.mini Alex Tuch to me. Or a Toffoli clone with Garlands radius

Evidently Philly is listening on everybody (according to Dreger).

If we don't win the lottery, I would definitely move our 2023 1st and a bunch of the 2nds we have over the next 4 years for Travis Konecny.

It's rare that you can get a chance to acquire a quality player like him (if he's truly available). He's only 26 and has 2 years left at 5.5 AAV before he hits free agency.

Stay on the course, we already ruined our previous rebuild by trying to rush it.

If we would make a move like that, it would be for a defenceman

I get that.

It's just an interesting thought experiment.

The Michkov slide? Trade down with StL and pick up their 1sts. 6 & 38 for 10, 25, 27?

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

I'm taking Michkov

 

[moosemeister]

Michkov.

I don’t think they’d do that.

Man, kind of have to take Michkov (unless something is known about his availability).

I would be tempted to trade down with Philly and let them draft him.

You don't make moves like this in a rebuild.

If Michkov is available at our pick, I definitely - DEFINITELY - trade down and get more assets unless there's someone I like a lot better available there too.

Michkov has elite talent. His KHL contract is for 2 more seasons. If they thought he would come over after that, I would take him at 6. 2 years in the KHL is not exactly terrible from a development perspective. It worked out fine for Kaprizov. I guess it comes down to the talent vs the risk of being able to bring him over.

On talent there's an argument that he goes at 2. I have him at 3 on talent.

If it wasn’t for Russia stuff, I’d have him 3rd. But due to Russian stuff, I’ve got him 5th. Benson is 3rd and Carlsson is 4th.

Benson is going to be a star player.
