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

[Kevin Musto]

No, you are getting called out for basically trolling and then trying to play stupid. I've actually tried to ignore it because I appreciate the effort you put into prospects, but I am over childish shit. Best of luck musto.

If you're going out of your way to make yourself mad about nothing, that's on you

Best of luck, BK

Mad? No. Stubbing my toe makes me mad. Tired of trying to have conversations with someone who can't drop a shtick? Yes. It is not like the other people haven't brought this up multiple times.

Side conversation: Meeting about meetings might top my list of things that piss me off the most.

Can't argue with that. Horribly unproductive.

I'm just stating factual information.

Ian is really accurate when it comes to passing and transitioning out of the D-zone.

So you don’t know the difference between a fact and an opinion.

Twice I've been accused of being American this week on this board.

Odd...

Maybe I should correct that to North America. Canada and the US are identical in this regard.

So you think Ian Mitchell's first pass isn't good?

I hope this guy turns into the real deal but he was still a gigantic reach in 2021

 

[Dead Meat]

If he can make the top four then is it a reach? He seems to be progressing nicely.

What was the big miss looking back? Knies?

I’m guessing Stankoven and Zellweger. Although I’m not a fan of the latter at all.

 

[Dead Meat]

I wasn't a fan of most Stan draft choices - I'm pleasantly surprised that Nolan is impressing somewhat - I had extremely low expectations for him.

 

[crazyhawk]

I've always had a good feeling about this guy ...
Of course I've had feelings before that .. didn't turn out .. hello Cam Barker, Kyle Beach and Akim Aliu!

If Bowman was right it wasn't a reach. Guys in this range are all crapshoots.

I'm one one of Stan's biggest critics but at the time I didn't agree that Allan was a bad pick. No, he wasn't a fancy smurf no-hitter who was all offense (that so many Hawks fans seemed to like) but he was a solid performer with and without the puck at that age and he was physical with good size as well. At 21, we are seeing a can't miss guy who will probably become a #3 dman, IMO. I hope Hawks keep him.

IMO, agree with everything except "can't miss". Would be thrilled if he ends up a solid #3 dman, but no one with 2 NHL games is can't miss.

 

[featherhawk]

Nolan was a good pick and not a stretch IMO. I am canadian and his contributions to the National team in Canada was SUPER under appreciated. ... Nt surprised at all he is having. good camp... the hawks should be happy to have Allan and EDM on the club as prospects from the back end...the D-core is in good shape moving forward

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Wasn't Allan projected to be drafted in late 30's thru 50 range?

Not that much of a reach taking him at #32

Also, since being drafted he has won a gold as part of Canada's WJC so it's not like his stock as a prospect has declined since draft. If anything, he is looking more and more worthy of being drafted in 1st round

 

[CallMeShaft]

Amazing the overreaction people had at the start of this thread. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

Spoiler

Though I stand by my statement, f*** you Stan!

 

[Pertti]

Everyone does this but the difference is that readers( us) don't think he is as good as we thought he was. There for he gets extra shit for time been.

No need to be in shame, still agreed. That’s about Musto.
