GDT: 2023 NHL Entry Draft

[MillerTime29Bombs]

NHL network had NO video in the kid also had no info other than from NJ and going to the PAC. I mean I guess I get it Don knows his history forces him to make these kind of picks in hope that he finds the “ next Tom Brady”

Gabe Foley's Early Top 30 Americans in the 2023 NHL Draft - Recruit Scouting %

The 2023 NHL Draft season is looming and looking like a potentially groundbreaking year for American hockey. While it may be one of the weakest in terms of talent, it could be the first year that the USHL truly leapfrogs the NTDP in terms of producing Draft-ready talents. A weak year for the...

#30 – Chris Pelosi, Center, Muskegon Lumberjacks (USHL), 6’0” / 161 lbs., Mar. 6, 2005​

I expanded this list to 30 names for the simple fact that I had to talk about Chris Pelosi. I love him and I know many other scouts do as well. He is a large-bodied centerman with the strength to throw around anyone else on the ice but the speed and finesse to stay pretty with the puck on his stick. He is a genuine joy to watch, even if he isn’t the absolute star of any team that he’s on. There’s a lot of potential with Pelosi’s big-boy style, giving him the flexibility to serve as a net-front presence or a passer in the offensive end. To put it in a word, Pelosi is the exact man I’d want as my buffer on the powerplay. To reach his potential, Pelosi simply needs an added layer to his game. He needs to show off some more intricate thinking, needs to add a layer of skill, and needs to take charge like his size would warrant. Those are all pieces that should come naturally as he moves onto Muskegon and the USHL. I’m really excited to follow his season, even if it doesn’t end up being all that. He’s a talented player who’s fun to watch and has some hidden upside.

Seems he was taken a little early, not much. Most I have seen had him in fourth round.

Did you see the Bruins draft notes? Only place he would be ranked that high

And this is the one reason that you might have to be against a full rebuild. Does anyone really have any faith in Sweeney to draft consistent talent?

No

Sounds like the Bruins found another Frederic/Beecher type C

Celebration in order??

Well, at least you don't have to change the "Top 20 Bruins Draft Pick" list.

Thank you for posting. That's a nice writeup. I suspect he would have been gone within the next round if the Bruins didn't take him there.

He sounds like an interesting prospect. End of 3rd round, sounds good.

Maybe he is like Clifton.

 

[LouJersey]

I’m not carrying any water here. Imagine freaking about over the 92nd pick in the NHL draft.

This kid has probably been seen by 0.0% of the posters here but we’re really really going to sit and try and criticize the pick?

And people can't read what all the other people who watch this stuff are saying?

You are correct, 92overall is a pipe dream to make it anyways,

Yes I do

How about you?

If you think hes going to be gone by the time you pick next at least use that pick and trade back 10 or 15 slots and pick up extra capital. Theres a really good possibility that someone ranked 128 is on the board at that time.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

I’ve seen two things on the kid thus far. The computer model stuff and the post by @rocketdan9

I mean, the post I responded to was saying we shouldn’t trust a rebuild by Sweeney over this pick. What the f*** even is that lmao

Or you take the guy you like knowing he’s there and wait for your next pick.

Yeah I mean its not like the Bruins need more draft picks or anything.

 

[missingchicklet]

I usually try to be at least superficially knowledgeable about the players projected to go in the first 3 rounds. A lot more relaxing when I know absolutely nothing about anyone the Bs will pick. Total crapshoot by the time the Bs got to pick this year. At this stage in the draft projected rankings are fairly useless, so it comes down to scouting based on team needs.

 

[GatorMike]

And people can't read what all the other people who watch this stuff are saying?

Sure you can.

But I'd also remember that the people who watch this stuff and write about it on the internet are generally not professionals, and they're wrong all the time. Hell, the people who are professionals are wrong about 18-year old hockey players all the time, as well.

There's no sense in getting irrationally upset over who the Bruins select with the 92nd pick in the draft. Hell, even if they had picked a kid ranked highly, the correct reaction to the 92nd pick is always to shrug your shoulders and say, "Cool. Let's see what happens a few years down the road."

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

 

[LouJersey]

All you do is talk down to anyone who isn't hyper-critical of the Bruins' every move as if they're lesser fans than you. What happened to turn you into such a miserable prick?

Because I come here for good honest Bruins talk, not a ****ing fan club. Too many echochambers in here...totally positive, no criticisms or totally negative no praise. Mind boggling how people can live that way.

The only thing I’m bummed out about is the fact he’s going back to the USHL before hitting Quinnipiac. No live viewing this season for me.

Quinnipiac — the same team that just won the National Championship.

if you read that post and your take away was that the poster doesn't trust a Sweeney rebuild because of *that single pick* i'm not sure what to tell you...

Yeah...I mean 3rd rounders are long shots but its just another example in a long list of Sweeney drafts. Sweeney is really good with trades, just do that. Don't make draft picks and get prospects back with a track record. Problem solved.

For the record I never said this one pick was the reason why I don't trust him in drafts.

ITS ALL NORMAL!! Every year we bitch about draft picks, and people bitch about people bitching about draft picks. Its what a discussion board is all about!

Next pick soon.. Lets all BITCH! LOL

You talk down to anyone who’s not sufficiently critical for your tastes. You’re looking for your own echo chamber, just a negative one. It’s kind of sad; you weren’t always like this
