Prospect Info: (F) Oliver Moore - 2023 NHL Draft, 19th Overall

[TLEH]

Just scored

 

[Kurtosis]

So he’s kinda good, right?

 

[belfour30]

Moore might be kinda like Nazar where you put him in the pros and he pops.

Doesn't have the same skill level.

 

[ello]

I try to avoid sayign anything definittive abt prospects cuz its never an exact science but Im like 99% confident that Moore won't ever sniff a top 6 role and might struggle establishing a third line niche in the league. The guy has negative offensive IQ and poise with the puck. I think he's going to bounce around a lot of teams in the NHL during his career who see upside with his physical tools but will cut bait once better options come around.

He's pure north south offensively. Decent hands, plus shot. ++wheels, ++motor.

 

[TLEH]

I feel like he's almost the same exact player he was two years ago, frankly. Play hard, skate fast.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Play hard, skate fast.

The Davidson special

 

[Hattrick Kane]

The Davidson special

I’ll give him credit, he made a plan and he’s going to stick to it.

I much prefer that over the directionless rollercoaster Stan was taking us on.

Don’t worry we are on a new rollercoaster, it looks cool and all for some here I am not sure why but it will certainly end in disaster, I see it but most are still spinning in the air not seeing the inevitable. There were much better picks than Moore, Perrault stood out big time at the time and it was moronic not to grab him.

 

[unbridledid]

Jake Skille part deux ....only a bit slighter frame ? Does he play a sound
defensive game ?

Stan had a plan. It was to continue to compete with Toews and Kane and Keith as the core. He just continued to whiff on adding pieces to continue to contend. Panarin trade, Jones trade, etc.

Haters in the mid late 2000s “Hawks just totally botched Skille and Barker picks. Throw the organization in the trash. “

Pretty sure he is regarded as one of the best defensive forwards in the country at his age.

 

[Bubba88]

I don't see what wrong with skate fast, play hard. If he turns into our new Bolland I'm happy to have him on the roster as middle 6 player.

You're looking to be a victim at this point.

Bolland didn't skate fast.

Not really good comp

Moore is far better defensively while Skille was guy who would throw body/grind type (Why he still made it around NHL as a 4th line winger for years)

 

[TLEH]

I just think people are going to be quite whelmed. Don't expect Moore to be 2C, and honestly I wouldn't even expect him to be 3C.

I think he'll make it as a 4C, 3W.

 

[GIADF]

Crazy how fast this downturn for Moore has gone. I was stoked about the pick at the time and the majority of draft rankings had him considered as a steal in that spot.

It stings even more when you think they took Gajan just 16 picks later and how starved we are for young impact forwards to play with Bedard.

ugh

You and me have been saying it for two years. He's gonna play. He's just not a difference maker. Like Slaggert has more upside.

I was trying to remain hopeful but he's just the same player. I don't see much offensive development. Easiest way to say it for me is he just looks the same as he's always looked.

He's got some great tools and the heart to use them. He's just not an offensive player. I see a lot of 15/15 seasons in his future.

 

[ello]

I can't even be upset about the Moore pick, he was BPA and ranked in the top 10 by some outlets. Kid just hasn't developed and this happens sometimes.

Gajan I think is a lot more indefensible of a pick. Tiny sample size of success (if Slovakia doesn't play Canada in the quarterfinals I truly dont think this pick happens) and way too high to be drafting a goalie, especially for a team as starved for forward talent as we were (debatably still are)

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I feel like if you swapped Moore and Kantserov's draft slots people would be much higher on both.
