Pronman was crazy high on him ... I did not realize that. and I find it laughable given info coming out of the combine

Was he actually?
He was called the least athletic at the combine, and was 33rd out of 35 at the on ice testing at the top prospects game. Teams were worried about his athleticism, if Pronman had him as the 2nd best athlete he’s even more clueless with his evaluations that previously thought.

Eh, I can at least understand that. Size and skating ability, seems to be a good athlete.
He just doesn’t have the hockey skills to go with it yet

The playoffs are kinda showing the value in depth guys who fit the mold of "big man, skate fast, smash other man."
Bonus if they can make a pass or score goals.
Not really what you wanna look at getting with your 1st rounder, even if it is a late one, but I wonder what's there in the 2nd+ rounds for us that fits.

He is 8th on Pronger's compete list and 11th on his best Athlete list
I wonder if he is on the Sens list
I got this draft guide and will likely get the black book when it comes out. Lots of good NHL scout comments included .. which I like to find in these things.
Correction No more black book. HP has retired the black book and now offer the new Draft Guide. There is a link in a post a little higher in this thread. Only 19.99 .

For those who have been following the kids, what are the odds that Braeden Cootes falls to us, and would he translate well as a winger in the NHL?

I’m not sure if he will available or the odds in general, but unless something crazy happens, he’s the guy I want OTT to draft, and I don’t see any problem with him running it on the wing, but I’d be drafting him to play up the middle.
Vancouver media says they have him ranked very high, so if they don’t trade the pick, there’s probably a good chance he goes to them.

It’s unlikely Cootes makes it to 21.
He’s sitting with even odds at pick 17.5 now, and I’d imagine that will shift to the under over the next 2 weeks pretty heavily.

As mentioned in this thread, there is a lot of value in the playoffs for a player with size and plays a physical game. Not sure if it is a fair comparison or not but if Eliasson can eventually become a player like Niko Mikkola of the Panthers, that would be huge (pun intended).
