HF Habs: 2023 NHL Draft part 2

[WinterLion]

I have a 98% batting average on non-injury scouting.

The 1% is I never thought Quinn Hughes would put up more than 50 points and that Guhle would be a number one D.

Is Guhle a #1 D?

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

Is Guhle a #1 D?

He's probably a really good no. 2 that can play all situations like a no. 1. If he's your 2 and you get an elite no.1, you pretty much have an automatic future top 5 D pairing imo

 

[Mrb1p]

Is Guhle a #1 D?

Pretty sure hes gonna be one. IMO, he has one of the best shot at being a 1D out of the u21 crop. Only Power and Byram have a better one IMO, hes in a group of like 10ish (Jiricek, Nemec, reinbacher, Edvinsson, Sanderson, Hughes, Mintyukov, Clarke, Drysdale and maybe Nikishin?) That has that number one upside. Id say hes top 4 for sure out of all those as of now, Id rate him first but wouldn't hold it against anyone that would have Sanderson, Byram or Power ahead.

 

[Kaiden Ghoul]

Its Michkov or Smith, or its nothing dang it. We have the chance to draft at least one PPG player, they will deal with his complete game, i kinda hope SJ take Smith but at the same times no, weid feeling with 24 days before the draft

The selecting no one strategy is very outside the box thinking. I like it!

Yeah to hell with the 5th oa we dont need that s**t trade it for future consideration

 

[Vachon23]

Does someone have scout Sawyer Mynio (LD) from Seattle this season ?

 

[Frank JT]

My comp has always been that Reinbacher is a RH Guhle.

I see Bonk the same way

Just did the Draft Simulator

5 = Will Smith
31 = Michael Hrabal
37 = Gracyn Sawchyn
69 = Aram Miennetian
90 (101 + 144) = Kalen Lind
109 = Oscar Fisker Moolgard
128 = Jaden Lipinski
133 = Yegor Zavragin
165 = Anton Landen
197 = Sawyer Mynio

Minnetian is way too early at 69 IMO. Fiskers Moolgard and Zavragin are nice pickhp tho.

Just did a draft simulation and got Adam Fantilli and a few scrubs

 

[Sam I Am]

Draft sim I ended up with:

5-David Reinbacher
31-Carson Bjarnason
37-Maxim Strbak
69-Anton Wahlberg
101-Felix Unger Sorum
110-Easton Cowan
128-Juraj Pekarcik
133-Milton Oscarson
144-Alexander Rykov
165-Justin Gill
197-Albert Wikman

I'd be crestfallen if that's what that Habs come up with on June 28th. Awful.

I tried my hand at the draft sim once and my first 5 picks were:

Leo Carllson
Tom Willander
Lukas Drageicevic
David Edstrom
Jacob Fowler

My last pick at 197 was Justin Gill. The only pick on both lists

I'd be crestfallen if that's what that Habs come up with on June 28th. Awful.

I tried my hand at the draft sim once and ended up with a happier result. My first 5 picks were:

Leo Carllson C
Tom Willander RD
Lukas Drageicevic RD
David Edstrom C
Jacob Fowler. G

All big. All can skate.

My last pick at 197 was Justin Gill. The only pick on both lists

Those 5 picks would be great in my books

 

[Jack Skellington]

Nope but I learnt alot about busts from your former lists.

Didn’t you have mesar in like the top ten

 

[Hannibal]

When is the combine?

 

[Mrb1p]

Didn’t you have mesar in like the top ten

Yeah, at 9. And Kemell at 3. And yurov at 4. Coey at 7.

 

[SlafySZN]

When is the combine?

Start tomorrow

 

[NekkiChiconey]

Took a semi-realistic shot at the simulator. Traded down with Detroit (5 for 9 and 17), and up with St-Louis (29 for 31, 101 and 128). Final haul in first 4 rounds:

9: Benson
17: Wood
29: Willander
37: Strbak
69: Wahlberg
110: Fowler

Dream?

 

[Goldenhands]

Didn’t you have mesar in like the top ten

Yep, already labelling this kid a bust?

Yeah, at 9. And Kemell at 3. And yurov at 4. Coey at 7.

Kemell is outproducing Wright in the AHL, Yurov is stuck on bottom lines in the KHL.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

When is the combine?

This week. Teams & players arrived today. Interviews are 5th-9th. There's a thread specifically for the combine.

 

[Jabba11]

Draft simulator:

5-Leo Carlsson (C)
31-Tom Willander (D)
37-Daniil But (LW)
69-Adam Gajan (G)
101-Felix Unger Sorum (RW)
110-Jacob Fowler (G)
128-Juraj Pekarcik (RW)
135-Yegor Zavragin (G)
144-Florian Xhejak (LW)
165-Alexander Hellnemo (G)
197-Ewan Huet (G)

Thoughts? Too many Gs? Can't have too many G's you know?!

Dont really want Strbak at 37 and Im not sure I want to move up two spots but wooohee benson wood

I'm admittedly high on Willander, and I would've picked Musty at 37 if he hadn't gone 2 picks earlier

 

[Skip Bayless]

On draft sim there always seems to be some good prospects left once I pick #69, would love it if Hughes can manage to get more picks between 37 and 70.

Moving up into the 20s is not worthy IMO. Unless a guy like Reinbacher/Yager falls that low, which I doubt.

 

[Mrb1p]

I'm admittedly high on Willander, and I would've picked Musty at 37 if he hadn't gone 2 picks earlier

Im super high on Willander personally. Just unsure if I want to move up for him, Id rather take my chances I think. Not that big of a deal. I think the top 70 is very deep so.
