C Oliver Moore - University of Minnesota , NCAA (2023, 19th, CHI)

[Malaka]

The Bedard thing was luck but I have to admit the rest was well done. Hope it fails but I doubt it. As a Canucks fan I hope Moore tops out as a 3C because that's one of the guys we could've had.

I hope we get Celebrini + McKenna and send your team into 100 years of darkness

We've already had 10, what's another 90.

I'm leaning more toward getting Eiserman only because having his goal scoring prowess opposite Bedard would be lethal but Celebrini give-n-go's with Bedard would be pretty nice too.

Artyom Levshunov please!

5pts in 3 games to start his NCAA career. Pretty solid so far.

Edit: Elite Prospects is saying he's got 1 goal and 5 assists in 3 games, so .

He had an assist later in the game after that.

Love his head and eyes during this play. Looking off and then also head up.

Stylistically reminds me a lot of Roope Hintz.

Blackhawks prospects roundup: Oliver Moore off to hot start in college career

Moore, the Blackhawks' other first-round pick in 2023, could transform an already memorable draft into a legendary one.

theathletic.com

Couple clips in here from Scott on Moore's game vs ND.

The skating is obviously going to be a weapon. Wasn't sure about his hockey mind. Don't want another AA out there just wheeling around in a free skate with no idea what to do with the puck. Moore isn't that. Looks promising early.


After a great pass on a 3 on 2, this is the situation. He is behind the net.

Moore then breaks up the opposing 3 on 2 and is the first player back, on the backcheck. That is stuff you can't teach.

the guy i wanted if perrault didn't drop. glad to see him doing well. how good is his skating in reality compared to guys like mcdavid, barzal, hughes, makar, mackinnon

 

[Bonin21]

He looks like he'll probably benefit from at least three years in college. Outside of the speed he needs to work on pretty much everything. By the end of year two maybe he'll have proven me wrong.

He skates pretty much as well as them, but nowhere near the puck game.

 

[TLEH]

He will most likely play two years of college.

makes sense. probably what kept him from going top 10. he looks even faster than most of them in terms of straight line speed imo.

who do you think will be the better player between him and Perrault?

I should be more precise. Hockey sense too. He has all world the skating and motor. He has the offensive potential to be top six, but it’s hard to see him as like a 95-100 point player eventually. Lacks the real elite skill and sense needed for that, not that he’s like bad in those areas, although his hockey sense can be questioned a little.

I like Perreault more because I buy that the offense translates to the NHL, but it’s not a big gap. Moore is safer. Perreault has more upside.

[rangersfansince08]

does he have point per game potential?

 

[TLEH]

I watched the game tonight against MSU. I thought he played just okay. Skating well and high motor visible, like always, but a lot of the offense is just 100 miles an hour with not a lot of deception or direction. Leads to some really sloppy play.

 

[MS]

does he have point per game potential?

I’d be shocked.

To me he’s a high-motor, great-skating 40-50 point 2/3 C eventually. Doubt he gets much NHL PP time either.

It’s going back a bit but to me he’s a Dean McAmmond clone basically.

Man are "advanced analytics" worse than the simple eye test a lot of the time. Ask the Gophers fans that have watched him all year, and very few will say he's been a top 2 or 3 forward on the team, let alone one of the best in the "league", which I assume is the Big Ten.

Sure he carries the puck a lot, but often tries to do way too much and loses it. He plays at one speed and defenders have figured that out. He needs to learn to change his speed, so that he can then take advantage of his world class acceleration.

Where is turnovers on that fancy Microsoft Excel doc?

I really question how accurately some of this is tracked for the college guys, because looking at many of these charts much of the more advanced data doesn't make sense.

Success od dekes, passing out of the zone, carrying out of the zone. Those are details that track turnovers. But it's looking at... why kind of turnovers. Other than blanket... turnovers which could be a pass, a deke, battle lost etc.

I want to believe the advanced metric post, but in my heart I know this is true. When Davidson made the pick, my heart sank. Really wanted Perreault, Edstrom, or Nadeau.
