I like it the pick

 

[BagHead]

You know, after reading about him for 3 minutes, I think it's an alright pick. We're sort of in crap-shoot territory already, and he's got skill.

Hunter "Not Jack Hughes" Haight, some have called him.

 

[thestonedkoala]

Lol scouting reports says he is a good two-way center. Minnesota certainly has their type. At least they are focusing on skating this time around.

Drafted by the Barrie Colts with the ninth overall pick in the 2020 OHL Draft, centre Hunter Haight didn’t quite reach what was expected of him in his draft season. Haight scored 22 goals and 19 assists for 41 points in 63 regular-season games. He was even better in the playoffs with one goal and four assists for five points in six games. Unfortunately, it was not enough, as the Colts fell to the Mississauga Steelheads in six games. Haight played for Team Red at the CHL Top Prospects Game.

He definitely looks like he has some skill. His one shootout goal was nice too.

Did someone check to see if we're allowed to make this pick? Right shot center in one of the first two rounds?

Anyway, I like the pick, so I hope we're allowed.

Right handed shots... I think the scouts messed up and got confused.

My write up on him.

I heard he looked great in camp today. Another bet on puck skills and IQ

I would bet on puck skills and hockey IQ every day of the week. Two of the most important factors in a hockey player.

 

[MuckOG]

Is his last named pronounced "Hate" or "Height"? Watching his highlight videos I've seen his name pronounced both ways.

Amen. Excited about this pick.

It's pronounced Hate.

 

[Minnesota]

Wasn’t able to watch, but it sounds like Haight scored the lone two goals in the prospect dev camp championship. Anyone watch?

Both were snipes over Wallstedt's glove, perfectly placed inside the pipes, only guy to beat him cleanly that I saw. Hard to get a real read on him based solely off of the structure of the tournament, but he definitely proved that he can snipe corners and get his shot off quickly.

To add to what Ovechkid08 said, he looks really slick. He put on a pretty nice move on the first snipe that froze Wallstedt a bit then popped it high past his glove from in tight. Definitely looks like he should have scored more last year.

Does anyone else get Fiala vibes?

Too soon for that but he does show a lot of confidence with the puck.

Confidence, speed, hands, shot, same size, desire to have the puck on their stick, especially around the net. Not saying he'll be as good by any means, but there are quite a few similarities.

I can’t see the speed and determination in a 3v3 setting. The rest I concur and I can understand that comparison I just don’t think it’s accurate with what we have seen. I didn’t catch a one timer of his yet nor do I know his speed and acceleration

I watched some separate highlights, barely even watched the 3v3's actually.

I haven’t watched any highlights but he early has the makings of a right handed Fiala projection.
