Good trade off for Canada here if we get Dvorsky off the ice for two minutes.

We also got a PP out of all that. LOL

If both Florida's and Calgary's pick in 2025 is top 10, we could select as high as 2nd overall. Slim chance.
Thank you!
Are you a lawyer by the way? :D

That's my issue with Dvorsky right there. A 3 on 1 and he can't make a scoring chance out of it when he gets off a shooting posture.

makes you wish you had another top 10 pick......maybe a Matt Boldy clone? would be drafted in that same range, big, goal scorer.....nice player
Button compared him to Timo Meier. While teams are looking to draft flash and dash, someone's going to walk out of the draft with a sure thing top 6 point producer and possible future captain in Barlow. He seems to possess many qualities that contribute to playoff success.

Steve Yzerman, Kris Draper & Detroit's Swedish scout are there. TSN just showed them. Have to imagine HuGo is there too.

Canada 1-0 after 1.

Celebrini & Ritchie 2 best players up front for Canada. Celebrini isn't Bedard, but he's fast, really light on his feet, and can control the puck.

Pekarcik & Dej have been involved for Slovakia. Not much from Dvorsky.

They are all there hehe

Hockey Canada is looking very disorganized. I'm concerned with our lack of decent defenseman we are bringing up the ranks. I guess the nhl is changing, but we clearly don't see the puck movement from the back end to generate offense like some of these scandinavian countries.

dvorsky is having a great third period.

Bjarnasons puck tracking has been piss poor and he's gotta stare down a shooter at some point in this tournament.

Yeah, I've been watching him closely after you had ranked him so highly, I don't understand how something so basic, that should be mechanical, he's struggling with right now. Maybe he falls into the 2nd/3rd and we take a chance on him, I wouldn't want him in the 1st where we are picking, even our first 2nd. too high risk.

Yeah I'm not gonna take any of the goalies at 17, none of them have had a draft season that removes all doubts.

Should be able to get one of the 3 with our 2nd.

I'm really concerned with the low IQ d Canada is bringing to these tournaments right now. It never feels like we have the best d on the ice.

Allen is on my no draft list, at least in the first 2 rounds. He makes the wrong choice in his own end all game. I don't see top 4 potential with his choices on the backend.

I like Cristall's game, maybe we're lucky and he's sitting there @ 17.

It's a duel but right now Celebrini is ahead for most scouts.
Personnally, I never play the where players will go game. I really don't care. It's all about projection of how they'll do in the NHL for me. Having said that, I'm not ready to say where I will have both guys. Geez...I'm not even ready for 2023...lol

Cam Allen might not be a 2nd round pick at this point. Wtf happened.

lol. I was editing my post to mention his poor play. yeah, I'm wondering if there's something going on in his life. the benefit of interviewing guys before draft day.
