Prospect Info: D Hoyt Stanley - 108th Overall, 2023

[Micklebot]

8 inches and 70 pounds...that's one heck of a growth spurt

Usually that kind of rapid growth comes around the waistline...

I can confirm that! Doesn't look so good on a 5-foot-8 frame, either.

 

[OgieO]

I figured he'd go in the second round. Solid choice!

 

[Dan Patrick]

I’m excited to hear Dorion say this is a guy they had ranked much higher than where he was selected.

As for Hoyt, big, mobile, RHD are always a premium. Hopefully we can hit on one we drafted in the next couple of years.

The ole’ Dorion special

Closer to Patrick Wiercioch in terms of play style.

much better skater from the looks of it.

 

[Ouroboros]

much better skater from the looks of it.

He is, but Wiercioch's skating never recovered after a knee injury in college. That pretty much killed his shot at being an NHL contributor.

Getting Jonny Tychonik vibes from this guy.

At least your namesake GMPD (GM Penis Dick) didn't waste a 2nd rounder on him.

These picks usually don't pan out, but I will be the optimist here and say he is a better pick than both Tychonick and Ben The Dumpster Roger who were recent dumbdick 2nd round picks.

Fair enough.

Weircioch with better skating might have been a pretty decent player, so I'll take it as a positive for a 4th round pick.

This is what Hockey Prospect's Black Book says about him:

Reads like a Sens pick. Big toolsy D that may lack hockey IQ.

They have no ability to scout hockey IQ. Its so low on the priority list with this group its astonishing.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Most important attribute for a defenseman.

We'll see on Stanley. Haven't seen him play but I do trust the Hockey Prospect team at evaluating players. They generally do a very good job.

The ole’ Dorion special

A tale as old as tine

 

[DueDiligence]

Dorion only made a still see call on Sanderson. The rest of his drafting resume for years is hot garbage. Tkachuk was force drafted by Melnyk. Stutzle - pure luck. PInto is slow. Not top 6.

Of course. All PD picks are either lucky or bad.

 

[DJB]

They have no ability to scout hockey IQ. Its so low on the priority list with this group its astonishing.

It is odd after we drafted arguably the player with one of the highest hockey IQ’s in Stone

Truly baffling to me.

Guy responsible for drafting Stone has been gone for years.

He's upper management in Vegas now.

Takes a while for a fella like that to feel comfortable with his "new" body. Once he realizes how much bigger and stronger he is, he could become much more physical.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Analytics view I am guessing

 

[Philadelphia Collins]

Andreas Englund/Ben Roger vibes, glad this scouting team didn’t have any top-60 picks to reach on

 

[Micklebot]

Analytics view I am guessing

Hopefully the next time he posts about Stanley, it looks something like this

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Hopefully the next time he posts about Stanley, it looks something like this

I am not a big fan of the NHLe evaluation method especially for 17 year olds

 

[BondraTime]

Analytics view I am guessing

Yeah, he’s a plug. Had Simishev, who went 6th, 177th and said he does nothing to contribute.

 

[Alf Silfversson]

They have no ability to scout hockey IQ. Its so low on the priority list with this group its astonishing.

I haven't seen this guy play but it sounds like that might be his weak spot. I like this as 4th rounder but for once I'd like to see them identify a player who is known for his smarts. I feel like this team used to but has moved away from that.

Guy sounds like a bit of a project anyway.

So looking up the Hoyt name:

Origin: Norse
Other Origin(s): British
Meaning: Long stick; One who lived high on a hill
Hoyt is a masculine name with Norse and Middle English roots to keep baby’s confidence elevated. Coming from the Middle English word hoit, it translates to “long stick” and can easily match your little one’s potential to grow into a mature tree. Hoyt can also translate to “one who lived high on a hill.” What better way to help your little one feel right at home from the start? When baby is enjoying the view from the highest hills and mountains, the name Hoyt will always help them keep their vision high.

Seems good right?!

Who is your BCHL/Western scout? Seems like you guys love drafting from that league, Dyck, Stanley, Beckner...just curious as I follow the BCHL closely.
