Prospect Info: C Noah Ostlund, 16th Overall, 2022 NHL Draft, Assigned to Rochester 4.17.24

They also had Neuchev with a 1st round grade

If people were able to see the draft boards of various teams, their minds would be blown in comparison to all the generic public boards out there.

 

[truthbluth]

More than that, I'm pretty sure they said that he was the last 1st round player left on their board.

I don’t believe they said they had a 1st round grade, I believe they said they would have drafted at 28 if Kulich were off the board. It’s picking nits, but it’s not hard to imagine they had a 2nd round grade but saw a steep drop off at the position so they overdrafted. They clearly stated that they were determined to get a goalie this draft, which, imo is not good drafting strategy.

Yeah, they said he was their #1 goalie on the board and before Kulich fell to them, they were having conversations on whether to take him with that pick or not.

You want our 3C to make 7m+? We do not need centers, at all. Thompson, Cozens, Mitts, Krebs.....Savoie Kulich also technically centers. I do agree we don't really need either of those two things but we do however need lots of money for Dahlin extension (10) Power (6-8) top 4D (4+) two goalies worth something lets say solid backup (3m) Levi becomes good (6m). I would argue Ostlund is our best expendable asset.

Would you not pay Bergeron 7m a year?

Would you not pay Bergeron 7m a year?

No. I have TT and Cozens I would put that money to a D or G.

 

[MeenOlViks]

Well they were talking about someone else

This was more of a poke at people going off topic…

Kevyn Adams mentioned before the dev camp that Ostlund grew an inch from last summer. Wonder if that makes him 6’0 now?

 

[Der Jaeger]

Ostlund is going to be a beast at the NHL level once he gains strength.

Ostlund bids to continue growth spurt on path to Sabres roster spot | NHL.com

Poised center prospect has goal 'to get bigger' with Vaxjo of SHL this season

www.nhl.com

It has been a year of growth for Noah Ostlund -- literally and figuratively. Now the center prospect looks to add more as he takes the next step toward a future with the Buffalo Sabres.
"I want to get bigger," he said last week at Sabres development camp. "That's the most important thing to me."

 

[The Blunder Years]

That is some ridiculously soft puck skills. Never seen a player stick handle that smooth/clean at that speed

7. Noah Ostlund, C

3/11/2004 | 5-foot-11 | 163 pounds | Shoots left

Drafted: No. 16 in 2022
Tier: Middle of the lineup player

Skating: NHL average
Puck skills: NHL average
Hockey sense: Above NHL average
Compete: NHL average
Shot: Above NHL average

Analysis: Ostlund had a good season in Sweden, being a big part of Djurgården’s lineup in the Allsvenskan, and helping lead them to the finals. Ostlund has a lot of talent. He’s got quick feet with strong edges and top speed. He makes high-skilled plays with pace. He’s an excellent passer who sees the ice at a high level. Ostlund doesn’t score many goals, but he has quite a good shot and can score from range, which, combined with his plus IQ, lets him run a power play very well. He’s not that big or physical, but he gives a solid effort. There are times when I watch Ostlund and wonder if he’s dynamic enough at his size to be an NHL center. He may be a wing when it’s all said and done, but the pure tools in total look like a top-six forward

How many Rosen's they have? Looks like very common Swedish name.

Such a good movie. I'm reading all of the Fletch books right now, they're very good. The John Hamm movie was good too, that's the second book.

The one thing that irks me is that he casually sleeps with a 15 year old repeatedly in the first book...wtf?

 

[Chainshot]

Vaxjo now up 4-1.

Top 10 movie for me. I love Fletch Lives almost as much. Haven't read the books yet though or seen the new one with Jon Hamm.
