oh no here we go again

2025/26 will be our version of OZ, a Ducks story.

 

[ADHB]

Hmm....non-criminal, but worth an indefinite suspension?

You can read between the lines. What isn’t criminal but requires “personal conduct and respect” training? It isn’t drinking.

What is it?

 

[tomd]

Dear God please not this again...

 

[ADHB]

What is it?

I won’t speculate but it narrows it down. It’ll be up to the teams interviewing him to determine what it means.

 

[GunnarStahl]

What is it?

• Racial/derogatory comments.
• Abuse, bullying, harassment and hazing.
• Social media and networking.
• Personal conduct.
• Diversity and inclusion.

pulled this from the article, categories of reasons for previous suspensions like this. to elaborate on these, I would expect it could include hazing or sexual misconduct.

Same. It actually matters a lot to me in extreme situations. Like Schaefer is almost a full year younger then Martone and Eklund.

On the other hand, sometimes it’s an advantage to be an early birthday so they can go to the AHL in their D+2.

Great so now Lakovic is crossed off the board

Lakovic has been mocked anywhere from 10 to 25. Most have him in the 14-17 range. It’s a bit of a reach but no more so than sennecke was last year. I don’t think anyone would take him in the top 9 but anything is possible.

He has done something bad enough to get himself and his coaches suspended. He will be drop down on teams lists now

That’s not a factor at all. Like almost everyone in this draft class he has flaws. The two main ones being that he is not very physical despite his size and that he is inconsistent. The upside though is a top six LW which in this draft would be a big win if other players are gone by pick 10.

 

[Terry Yake]

schaefer aside, mrtka is the only d-man i'd be interested in taking with the pick, but i'd be surprised if he dropped to 10. of the guys who could realistically fall to 10, he'd be at the top of my list

 

[Koffein]

Martin
WJC-18: 7 games, 3g + 8a = 11 pts, and a +15 rating (Canada didn't lose a single game)
OHL Playoffs: 5 games, 2g + 2a = 4 pts, and a -5 rating (lost series 1-4)

Which small sample of games to believe?

Big difference in goals scored by those teams. Martin had a point on 36% of the Greyhounds goals and 25% of Canada's.

What you're saying is that Brady cannot offensively carry a weak team, but on a stronger team he can pile up more points despite not having a higher contribution rate. That makes it worse for Brady because it makes him a complementary player.

Players getting into trouble off the ice is absolutely a factor in drafting someone.

Last year Chernyshov got a sunburn and didnt attend meeting which dropped him out of the first round. There are other cases too

 

[Masch78]

I am starting to get sold on Reschny more and more. If nobody falls he might be the one. Martin as well and Carbonneau would have the benefit playing in the Q where Madden has a strong focus on.

But Reschny, man, 92 pts in the regular season, 25 (9 goals) in only 11 playoff games. And being maybe the best 200 ft player in the draft. Reports say, his build is similar to Sid. So low center and strong legs.

The hockey writers write:
Another strength here is Reschny’s defensive game. He’s involved on the backcheck, helping to prevent odd-man situations. He’s not afraid to play down low to get the puck out of the zone. His complete game has made the Royals a noticeably better team when he’s on the ice. Reschny drives play at a very high level, and adds to that with a 56.92% faceoff win rate (out of over 1,000 draws this season).

Hmmm, I think you are galaxy braining that a bit. I think it shows that he was the offensive driver of his CHL team and didn't have much in the way of support. And still and displayed that he was a driver on a loaded team. 25% contribution is really good, a player with 25% contribution on a decent NHL team is a 60+ point player. Not saying that that stat translates 1 to 1, obviously.

Should also be noted he really only played 6 of the games in the tournament, he was thrown out 3 minutes into the semi finals.

Also should be noted that Team Canada stats are always wonky because the surrounding talent is often out of proportion good, and the talent played against is comparable weak, exacerbated by Russia not attending.

How can you possibly claim this?

 

[tomd]

How could you possibly claim this?

Because he was 16 at the time and almost no one is talking about it. Plus it looks like he took responsibility for it and did penance for it. Kids make mistakes and adults should show the proper judgement in terms of how long and how severe to punish them for it. Whatever he did shouldn’t be a life sentence punishment IMO.

Claiming it is not (should not is what you are meaning, it is your opinion masquerading as fact) a factor and then saying he shouldn't have a life sentence for whatever he did are two very different things.

You bet your ass smart teams will do their due diligence and make their decision based on their comfort level. Of course it will be a factor.

Fine. It will be a factor however large or small. Feel better now?

Do you? I get the feeling that it mattering elicits some sort of emotional response. Obviously it does, since it goes beyond the logic of vetting a multi-million dollar asset and into the current culture war regarding what accountability should and shouldn't be.

It will matter, even if in just the most amoral, pure business sense.

Yeah I do and I’d rather talk about the hockey aspect rather than the other. As soon as someone mentioned the issue earlier it completely derailed the conversation and now that is all that matters apparently. If you want to talk about lakovic the hockey player I’m glad to do so. But I’m not going to engage in speculating about the other because it ALWAYS ends up destroying the topic and the thread. You get that?
