Prospect Info: (D) Nolan Allan - 2021 32nd Overall

[Space umpire]

probably a bit too early to write this pick off

I started liking the pick more as soon as Musto trashed it. If you want piss poor wrong evals of players …. He’s your guy.

 

[ColbyChaos]

I doubt it myself.

Alan himself was literally surprised he was taken in the first round

watch Allen end up the best defenseman Kelley and Stan drafted during their tenure given how much shit they got for the pick

It'll obviously be Boqvist.

It's not really up to debate. He's the only D they drafted in the top 10, and it shows.

I like Adam but he is beyond brittle . Looking right now like a short career or very injury plagued . He wont be the best.

Who's ahead of him?

Ian Mitchell could surpass him maybe, but that's it.

Many could surpass Adam ,he's way too soft to last. I think our D prospects are possibly the best in the league in terms of numbers .

I remember a time when you felt Ian Mitchell was better than Boqvist.

What happened Musto, your boy not as good as you thought???

Ian is better, but Boqvist is in an organization that isn't Chicago so as of now he has had a better career.

Now Ian has to play catch up.

It can be done, but Boqvist is in a better situation to thrive.

Ian can't make it on one of the worst rosters in the league, even when it's missing one of it's top 2 RHDs to injury.

What a terrible pick that was.

No, Ian's assignment is to be Rockford's 1D. He's going to take them to the playoffs.

Then he'll be in Chicago's top4 next season.

Be patient. You sound like Stanley.

Reichel is taking Rockford to the playoffs.

Ian, like everyone else, is just there for the ride.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Reichel is taking Rockford to the playoffs.

Ian, like everyone else, is just there for the ride.

It's both of them.

Reichel couldn't do it without his 1D.

They're both carrying that roster. Shoutout to Soderblom too for that matter.

Everyone else is along for the ride. Especially Teply.

 

[Giovi]

Two things can both be true. He was taken too early. And he could be a genuine NHL talent.

Teply is GBOAT, Mitchell is dog shit.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Teply is GBOAT, Mitchell is dog shit.

Teply can't be GBOAT when he has never played for the Blackhawks.

And no, he's not GIOAT either.

 

[CallMeShaft]

Teply can't be GBOAT when he has never played for the Blackhawks.

And no, he's not GIOAT either.

GBOAT does stand for 'greatest Blackhawk of all time', correct?

Because 'all time' means past, present, and future.

Teply has no future

 

[CallMeShaft]

Teply has no future

Correction: Teply IS the future

 

[Drumman44]

I’ll happily eat crow on Nolan Allen, if he really ends up sticking

 

[Cubs2024wildcard]

Nolan Allen is going to be a stud.

The guy hasn’t played on the Hawks and is already the second best skating defenseman.

 

[Naster Okan]

I have no opinion on him because I haven’t seen him play extensively or before his draft year. It is pretty obvious he was taken earlier than expected by reactions from literally everyone. It does make me wonder what beckoned Bowman and Kelly to make this reach.

Seems to me that most folks want another Makar which happens once in a blue moon. When it comes to Allan, the sample size is small for me as well but I did like his play for Team Canada.

 

[MicronMega]

Allan could become a good trade chip for teams that need LHD
