Speculation: Draft and UDFA Thread 2018-19: Part IX (No Kakko/Hughes Talk)

[Ola]

N8- Grewe's biggest hold-back is speed and overall engine (plus anticipation). How much can he improve? Its definitely not weak in any way, but I think he needs to get it a notch higher still to play in the NHL. You would like to see him dominate more with his hard work. Be a bigger factor

 

[5cotland]

So what I have for Rangers interviews with players are:

Forwards
Jack Hughes
Alex Turcotte
Cole Caufield
Alex Newhook
Peyton Krebs
Philip Tomasino
Ryan Suzuki
Jakob Pelletier
Ryder Donovan
Trevor Janicke

Defensemen
Philip Broberg
Moritz Seider
Cam York
Ryan Johnson
Cade Webber
Case McCarthy
Jordan Spence

I'm sure there are others though.

There’s no proof that NYR interviewed Newhook. Other than that, I can confirm the rest!!

NYR also spoke with Connor McMichael and Ville Heinola

Do you have a source for this?

Do you have a source for this?

I've also seen Heinola's name mentioned, was it in reference to that last YT video?

Heinola wasn't in any of the videos

 

[5cotland]

Do you have a source for this?

Yes, tweets confirming both players met with 29 teams.

McMichael didnt meet with San Jose or Colorado.

Heinola didnt meet with CBJ or Chicago.

By rule of elimination, that means the Rangers met with both.

This is all I could find:



No specifics on the 2 missing teams

For McMichael I was able to find it though

I will look for the Heinola tweet. These are the players and the amount of teams they have me with. From research:


Ryan Johnson - 31 teams

Philip Tomasino - 30 teams (Not Avs)

Ville Heinola - 29 teams (Not CBJ or Hawks)

[LaffyTaffy]

By the way, about a month or two ago i got an inside scoop that we interviewed Jack Malone. Just thought if we’re keeping a running list he should be on it.

Malone wasnt invited to the combine so that information is wrong im afraid.

Would guess we were interviewing Zegras, hope they also got in on Dach. Wondering about Byram and Cozens now.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Malone wasnt invited to the combine so that information is wrong im afraid.

The combine also wasn't a month or two ago.

Teams interview players outside of the combine.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Malone wasnt invited to the combine so that information is wrong im afraid.

Are you aware interviews happen year round? Not all interviews are at the combine, that way teams can only speak to a limited amount of players

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Malone wasnt invited to the combine so that information is wrong im afraid.

Sounds like they interviewed him before and outside of the combine, unless I’m reading that wrong

Edit: beaten to it twice

 

[Lays]

FYI: his name is pronounced "Gray Wuh" before everyone starts calling him "Grew"

It’s Gray-Vuh

 

[Bluenote13]

It’s Gray-Vuh

So wait...Albin Grave uh....Adam Grave uh.....Adam Graves !!!

I'm sold, lets get'em……..

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

It’s Gray-Vuh

Well, if we are going to be specific, the G is pronounced the way Spanish people pronounce the J

 

[Joey Bones]

FYI: his name is pronounced "Gray Wuh" before everyone starts calling him "Grew"

Thought it was "Gree-Vah", TBH....

 

[GAGLine]

FYI: his name is pronounced "Gray Wuh" before everyone starts calling him "Grew"

Nope. If we draft him, I'm calling him Groo.

This is the movie Marvel needs to make.

The great thing is Montreal interviewed around 80/85 players and we most likely interviewed roughly the same amount

 

[Mac n Gs]

Little late to the party here, but I finally caught up on that incredible Clark Cup run that Sioux Falls made. The run Stauber had was incredible as a goalie, similar to what Tukka is doing now. He’s older and a Mankato commit, but it’ll be interesting to keep an eye on him moving forward. Wasn’t a fan of his regular season performance.

I watched them to keep tabs on Ryan Johnson in the playoffs, and the kid was an absolute horse. The skating, the reads, and the ability to control the tempo are gonna lead to him being a really good dman at the next level. Someone is gonna get a steal at the end of round 1 or beginning of round 2 in a few weeks.

Besides Johnson, Max Crozier was another kid that was a beast for the entire run. The mobility is a little clunky, but he has really good size at RHD and can make really clean, smart passes with the puck. I think there’s a good package there for a solid minute eating 4/5 dman that should be available in the mid rounds. Going to Providence and learning under Leaman’s structure too should really help him improve his ability to defend in motion. I want us to nab Pat Moynihan too for a similar reason. I think they’ll both be really good draft and stash kids while they play in college.

Grewe’s biggest strength is his motor and he is a pretty fast player already. His biggest hold back would be his IQ

That sometimes can hold a player back unless his skills are more than enough to compensate.
