Kantserov scored the game winner, today. Not the prettiest of finishes but going to the net is always good.

Where did you find this? capUNfriendly.com?
Yeah I pretty much agree with him. I really hope we draft a forward with our top pick we need a couple of top line guysSo basically he thinks:
Moore 2nd line C
Nazar top 6 W
Rinzel top 4 D
Reichel middle 6 W
Del Mastro Top 4 D
Gajan fringe starter
Commesso solid backup
Greene 3rd line C
Dach bottom 6 W
Everyone else depth/more of a gamble.
Not bad, especially when you figure he has KK still as a top-pairing LHD and Vlasic as a top-4 guy now.
The omission of Landon Slaggert from Wheeler's list is misguided.
Chance A.
Great article, @Scott but one question:
I’ve seen Landon Slaggert consistently ranked elsewhere but he doesn’t crack the top 15 here. Are you not a fan of him staying in college too long or is it something else?
Scott Wheeler
@Chance A. Think he’s probably a solid third-liner in the AHL. Don’t anticipate he’ll be much more than that.
Don't worry big guy! We'll get Celebrini and by the by we can't have every player be generational!Nazar has hit a bump in the hype to Savior stats...Last 5 games only 1 g 0 assists ...
Further many think he will not be a C in the NHL but only a winger .
If he is a winger you cannot put 2 small guys on linex1 because Bedard also is small ..So at bestvhevus a 2nd line winger..
He is also not tge best defensively.
So forget the hype...only 5th best in Michigan scoring.
You must temper the enthusiasm and scream Show me More before I get too excited...More skepticism please.
SCOTT WHEEKER is correct ...he shoukdxstay at Michigan for 1 mire season till he shows he is their at least 2nd best scorer notv5th best.
By comparison Celebrini last 5GP as a 17 year old (not turning 18 till this June) = 4g 3a...NOWHe I would get excited about even ifvhe must pkay "only" a 2C role when he gets to the Hawks (if Gary fixes it...again).
Now I understand Hawks ' fans desperately cling for prospects that tiktvtgevice and show sone domination.. but I am skeptical Nazar is that guy..
Thank you.While everyone seems to be enthused about our pipeline of recent drafts,you must realize other teams have some very good prospectts in theire pipelines still not in the NJL yet too!
Somev9fvthse could impact better than any prospect we have coming..
So I would tamp down the enthusiasm ..
Some of those prosprctsv9fvothervteanscare recent draft high pucks..butvothersxmay be later roundworms that developed with sone age and are better than ourvolder prospect draftees.
An example...Winnipeg drafted 20 year old Dimitri Rashevsky (who I wanted Hawks to draft though I had him as a 6h or 7th rounder because he was already 20 ...but Winnipeg gambled on him in the 5th round . A few years ago...Now 23 he is having a terrific season in the KHK withv24 g and 19 a ....Compare to our Artur Kayumov now 26...We took him 4th round in his draft year already what seems king ago...and he has inlyv16g and19a for his team..
Obviously you cannot get as excited as Jets fans are for the creative highlybskilled Rashevsky.
This single example is repeated a lot as Hawks picks come up short vs.who others took....
So I would curb all enthusiasm on our prospects until they show they are worthy of praise..
Of course this would notcapoly if we land Celebrini...in that case you have my permission to get excited..
