Evan Konyen at the moment

Didn't he do well at the Invitational? That is why I had him as a late round option even though he had yet to play an OHL game and was a 4th round OHL pick. Obviously, if he does well, he would make my top 125.

And quite frankly, short of being a top 25 pick from that 2004 draft, I can see why there is little hype when he hasn't even had a chance to play above AAA before this year.

I was gonna say Miroshnichenko is underrated but just saw he's projected 2-5 in most rankings.

I was gonna say Miroshnichenko overrated. Mind you I've never seen him play, but judging from his stats they are not eye popping to me. And for a guy drawing comparisons to OV8 and being viewed beside Wright and a franchise player I feel like they should be. 15 points in 20 MHL games last year. Just 7 points in 19 VHL games. Lambert for reference had 15 points in 47 games in Liiga last season, a significantly better league than the MHL. But I will probably be completely wrong on all this.

The problem with Lambert is he only has 2 points in 11 Liiga games so far this year, and he has never really "stood out" in international competitions at all. He is usually solid, but the talk always goes towards Bedard, Michkov, Wright, and even Miroshnichenko, Yurov, etc. who are having much better performances at those tournaments.

All and all, probably not bad enough for a Raty-like fall, but I don't see how you can justify putting him in the top 5 or even top 10 anymore either. That is simply not good enough, especially when there are a number of other guys who can stake a claim to be in the top 10 this year.

Anyone have any underrated/overrated prospects for the 2022 NHL draft?

I don't know about underrated or overrated but I like Danny Zhilkin. He's had very a slow start with the Guelph Storm though so kind of iffy. I don't know where he'll be ranked but I suspect late first round at best, maybe he'll slip into the 2nd or 3rd if he doesn't produce more.

David Goyette is a rookie in the OHL and has done very well. Impressive skillset early on. He has a pretty late birthday so he'll be 17 for the majority of the season. I'd expect him to rise to be a top 15 selection but we'll see. Probably my favourite prospect this draft outside of the top prospects.

Noah Ostlund is another one that I really like early on.

He's currently the OHL rookie scoring leader, and is playing great doing it. If he keeps this up I wouldn't be surprised to see him be a top 50 calibre player

Fair enough, but I guess it comes down to a lot of other things, especially for a 5'10" player.

What are his strengths and weaknesses?

bedard and michkov are also 2023 draft

Anyone know if Harvard has started their season yet? Can’t find anything on abruzzese.

They play their first real game this week. Their games against brown and bentley were exhibition. Would be interesting where abruzzese slots in as harvard added coronato, farrell and others and it’d be interesting to see if fusco even gets minutes.

I know, which is what makes it even more concerning for Lambert. Bedard and Michkov are obviously special talents, but Lambert should still be among those guys and he is more in the middle.
 
Jordan Dumais is a pretty under the radar prospect for this years draft. 13 points in 8 games to start the season. His size probably stops him from being a top tier draft pick but he has an extremely high skill level and competes hard.
 
Growlers games being suspended for investigation of disrespectful workplace conduct by Deacon Sports and Entertainment.....

edit: looks like they are being kicked out of the arena

Short of you thinking he should be a top 25 pick, I think he could get into the top 50 if he really does well this year. He had almost a 0.75 PPG as a QMJHL rookie.

Halifax has a whole suite of 2004 prospects: Dumais, Swan, Vidicek, and Furlong. I doubt Furlong and Swan are super high picks, but Vidicek and Dumais should be up there.
 
I wonder where Lane Hutson will go in this draft. He's listed at 5'7" or 5'8" depending on the report and that is SMALL for a defenseman no matter how good you are. Initial reports have him late in the first round. He seems really good though.

I heard rumours he might be coming to the WHL
 
@sportsnet

St. John’s Sports and Entertainment Ltd. has suspended Newfoundland Growlers home games pending the results of an investigation into “allegations of disrespectful workplace conduct.”

Tied 6th in U20 NCAA scoring, second among Canadians (with 5th overall pick Kent Johnson)

I wonder if he could be a dark horse for Team Canada at the Juniors? I am not sure what their roster looks like though.

He actually reminds me a lot of a young Brad Marchand at the same age. (Marchand turned into a pretty good player I think :sarcasm: )
