Redraft 2021

[HockeyWooot]

It’s a strong draft class, really hard to say. Development isn’t linear we can look into early promise but not overweight sophomore slumps.

I probably have Hughes at 1 by virtue of being youngest in his draft class by a fair margin.

My ballpark ceiling projections, hard to compare different player styles.


Hughes- 1D, top 10-15 dman or higher? Norris nom?

Guenther- top line winger, sniper. Regular top 10-15 winger in the league.

Power- offensive 2 way d, top 10-25 dman

Johnson- offensive 1c- 85-100 pt ceiling

Johnston- regular 70-85 pt all situations 1C, leader and future captain.

Edvinsson- top pairing high leverage 2way D, top 10-25 dman

McTavish- heavy 35g/70+pt 1C (playing behind Carlsson). Future captain.

Clarke- top pairing offensive d, top10-30 dman

Knies-60-70 pt power forward

Beniers- 70pt 2 way C, all situations and leadership. Future captain.

Eklund-70- 70pt 2way winger, top line.

Stankoven- top 6 winger, 60-70pts

Coronato- 30-30 scoring winger

Sillinger- hard nosed 2way 2C, leadership.

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

The top 10 of the 2021 draft (outside of Boucher, lol) Is filthy. That was super deep draft.

Boucher is one of the worst picks of all time. It was horrible the day it made and everyone called it terrible. There’s some great picks after 10 too. That boucher pick seriously set Ottawa back.
