Real rough looking at the prospects stay sheets. Very, very little offense coming up.

Yak just got up slow after a weird hit. Hopefully he’s okay.

Edit: he’s back out, false alarm!

Yak 2a in first 10 mins of the first lead 4-2 after 1 period.

He ended up with 2a and his team lost 6-5 in OT

Would like to see him traded sooner than later.

We really should have drafted a forward with our 2nd, Eliasson is beyond redundant with our existing prospect pool.

How the hell is Eliasson redundant ? Youngest player in the draft, huge with a mean streak. 4 year development plan.

We already got a bunch of big defensive D in our system: Kleven, Nordberg, Stanley, Andonovski.

We have no top 6 potential forward prospects except maybe Halliday.

That’s a true G right there.

Is Stanley a defensive D? Regardless, only Kleven is a lock to make the roster. The other guys will be lucky to get a game in the NHL.

Picking based on need means you pass up a Havlat because you have an Alfredsson and a Hossa at RW already.

Exactly, you always take the best player available, period, full stop

Calgary is up there among best in class in the CHL in all aspects and they have a coach with a lot of NHL experience. Hopefully he gets traded in February for a run but for now he is in a very good hands.

Would much rather he be with a top end org that is losing than a bottom end org that is winning. There can be a big difference in resources and coaching.

Yeah, Calgary currently sits just 3 points out of a top 4 spot in the Eastern Conference of the WHL and are in a playoff spot right now.

Nordberg’s development seems to have been fumbled. Hope for the best but it seems like a long shot.

Andonovski looks decent but definitely lacks the standout physical attributes of Eliasson.

The sens are probably hoping they found a new Zadorov with this kid. A dominant physical force.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

eliasson would have been available in the later rounds though. Like we should have picked someone like Andrew Basha.

At the same age Zadorov was significantly better than Eliasson at pretty much everything besides taking dumb penalties, which Eliasson is better at than any prospect I've seen in years.

What pisses me off about the Eliasson pick is the same thing that pissed me off about the Boucher pick.

There were alternatives available that brought size, toughness and physicality without being completely braindead and talentless.

Sens could have taken Sillinger or Coronato in 2021 instead of Boucher. Both were gritty forwards with more PIMs than games played, and they had top 6 talent and excellent USHL production, unlike Boucher.

They could have taken Brunicke or Pulkkinen in 2024 instead of Eliasson. Both are big guys with strong physical games and excellent tools, but unlike Eliasson they actually have some talent and offensive upside to go along with it.

In both cases the Sens scouting staff just HAD to have the most physical/tough player, even if it meant passing up a physical/tough player with much more skill, IQ and upside.
