2024-25 Prospect Thread

really? I find it almost the opposite, where the board goes nuts over guys who are clearly longshots to make the NHL - Dufour and Maggio most recently. The list (Petrov, Kabanov, Ho-Sang, O'Marra) goes on and on - everyone refusing to acknowledge the faults and setting sky high expectations.

Look up the words sarcasm, satire and mirth in a dictionary.
And learn how to laugh

Another nice late round pick. The guy who created the screen, Vaclav Nestrasil, is rated around where the Isles pick at 42. He’s a 6’5” power forward right wing. Finished 4th in scoring right ahead of Villeaux.

Nestrasil has ramped it up in the playoffs. In 12 playoff games he’s had 7 goals and 6 assists for 13 points.

Yup been paying attention to him too since he’s always on Muskegon’s score sheet. You gotta think our scouts have seen a lot of Muskegon’s team so wouldn’t be surprised if we pick him or someone from that team

Ryabkin’s also been great since coming over but a lot of reported character issues

The other comment will get more likes because people WANT to believe that’s true, but this is of course what’s ACTUALLY true.

When you’re starved for talent at both the NHL and prospect level, for years on end like this fanbase, it’s natural to overrate any shred of talent that comes in.

Add to that the regular fan inclination to overrate their own players (not specific to this fanbase) and you have a recipe for the phenomenon you’re describing.

if you need to explain to people you're joking, it's probably because you're not funny

One of the biggest risers in this summer's draft.

Doesn't look like he'll get out of the 2nd round at this point.

Do not take Nestrasil if you experience any of the following symptoms....
