C Kent Johnson - Cleveland Monsters, AHL (2021, 5th, CBJ)

I hope you’re right, and Johnson is gone before we pick.

Interesting. I would be quite happy with Johnson, so I guess time will tell. Are you a Mctavish guy?

I think Mctavish is gone early. I’m more guys I fear will be busts. So I’m off of Geunther, Edvinsson, and Johnson. But this draft is so wide open. Other than Power and Beniers the top ten projected could go all over the place.

In a dream world Eklund falls to us, but I don't see it.

Edvinsson is going to be hit or miss. He could be a bit like a Jay Bouwmeester, or he could be a Matt Bartkowski. He seems to have good hockey sense defensively, so his floor is still a useful player.

Disrespectful.

It’s behind a paywall. Can you post the top 10 from this? Thanks

no surprise, he's been called the "most skilled" player in the draft and Wheeler wets himself over flash and dash and its the only thing that matters to him when it comes to prospects.

Don't see Geunther as a potential bust, he's too smart and skilled for that. He's going to be a solid player at a minimum.

Yeah, I’m not personally a big KJ fan, but no way he falls that far IMO. I’ve got concerns about his pace and toughness/physicality, but he’s clearly got elite skill. No question he could end up the best forward in this draft if his development goes well. Can’t see him going lower than ~10-11, and he’s got a solid shot to go top 5.

 

[Osakahaus]

Kent might as well be my favorite player from this draft class simply because of how intriguing he is. dude might as well be a steal if he pans out. Detroit absolutely should take him

 

[edmbrotha]

Best player in the draft

Best player in the draft

Oooh, I’ll take Edvinsson let’s see who wins lol.

Nag but Johnson is the most intriguing to me, like he could be insane, or become rather irrelevant. It’s weird lol. I’m personally super bullish on him tho I think he’s absolutely disgusting, puck skills are off the charts

there's a risk of busting in any prospect. Have to live with it and accept it. Hope your scouts have done their best to rank and draft.

 

[MNRube]

I like Wheelers Top 3. Power, Johnson, Clarke. I think those are my top 3 as well. Love the 2 D and think Johnson is a lock to be a Top 6 NHLer.

 

[turkeyslurpees]

I will be pretty upset if Johnson is there at 6 and we pass. I think the sky is the limit with him. Fantastic prospect.

Wheeler and Pronman are hacks. Waste of time reading either of their stuff

Johnson belongs way lower on that list. Lucius belongs nowhere near a top 10 in any draft, and I like Sillinger but also nowhere in the top 10. 12-19 range, sure. Top 10? Hell no.

What would your top 10 look like?

 

[Kalv]

The more I watch him the more positive I am on him. I would be happy if the Ducks pick him.
To me he is a much better player and prospect than Guenther.

Can anyone tell me why he wasn't playing in U-18?

He was too old.

My thoughts are that I’m surprised it isn’t 10-0. Johnson is an astronomically better prospect than Guenther and has the highest offensive upside in the class. If he slips outside the top 5 it’ll be the pick of the draft.

 

[Silkytentacles]

Kinda shocking some people have him out of their top 5 and frightening when they have him outside their top 10 . Number 1 for me

I'm high on him as well. But what do you think of his play off the puck?
