Prospect Info: Round 2 - Pick #58 - D Mason Lohrei - Green Bay Gamblers / USHL - 20/21

[Absurdity]

Why? Its not like this kid is slotting into a spot this year.

Not so much slotting into a spot, but replenishing the prospect pool at D if some do move.

 

[CDJ]

Would you be happy if he's the 58th best player in the draft? I think we all know that anything past the first round is basically a lottery ticket. How many truly good players come out of each draft? 158 vs 58 may be a smaller gap than you think.

Much like the mlb draft the gap is very negligible

Loving what I'm reading about this kid, hoping he turns into a solid player. He's got a very intriguing mix of size and skill for a dman.

 

[GloveSave1]

I couldn’t give a **** about Craig Button’s board or whatever...but a 7th round projection in the 2nd is a canyon.

Who is gonna take this kid in the 3rd or even 4th?

Why won’t DS trade back?

 

[GloveSave1]

As I’ve said, DS should trade his 1st every year at the deadline. He doesn’t value these picks.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Now he sounds like a top 10 pick.

All it takes is one other team to value him and you miss out on a guy you covet.

 

[The don godfather]

He might be a ryan suter. I'm feeling it.

Really, really, really, really value him. Grow a pair DS. It will be okay.

 

[BlackFrancis]

Panic thresholds and board battle shapes?

Did I forget a pill this morning?

 

[NDiesel]

Really, really, really, really value him. Grow a pair DS. It will be okay.

Yep, but again it just takes one team. They likely didn't want to take that risk, time will tell us if this pick was great or a huge huge dud.

 

[ChargersRookie]

Elite Prospects had Boston taking Roni Hirvonen, at 5'9" I wouldn't be to login here nor anyone else I think.

 

[BlackFrancis]

Now he sounds like a top 10 pick.

It's like clockwork, right up there with stars leaving Boston being assholes.

 

[NDiesel]

When thinking about consensus picks, let's just take a moment to think about how Nick Ritchie, Lawson Crowse, and Sonny Milano were ranked higher in some places than David Pastrnak.

And also think about how many players Zach Hamill was ranked ahead of.

Not a lot of highlight videos for Lohrie, so I went back and looked through some USHL game highlights to find what I could. Lohrie is #20 in white for most of these:



1:56: Lone defender back in a 4-on-1, moments later he helps Green Bay transition the other way.
4:49: Secondary assist on a play where he starts behind the other team's net



2:00: Nice breakout pass from the left circle to the opposite side of rink at the red line, leads to a 2-on-1 and a goal scoring opportunity.
3:15: Good stick check to win possession, but then gives it right back with an ill-advised turnover behind his own net.
4:55: Playing the left point on the PP, makes a bad decision to try to stickhandle around a penalty killer, nearly gives the puck away.



1:15: Goal on a wrist shot from the point.

lol Ryan Suter was a 7th overall pick

You really just post every thought that pops into your head, don't you?

 

[JEM28]

I agree about the player.

But the rest of the NHL has scouted him and only the Bruins would take him an over-ager 100 slots over his rating. Man, this has to stop...

cmon man, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it...

wait....

oh yeah. It’s broke.

Not many guys are capable of scoring at a point per game clip as a 20 year old. Zach Hamil did that.

Heinen was in the 2014 draft, which was the last draft under Chiarelli. Other notable reaches were Frederic, DeBrusk, and Beecher.

Frederic: Viewed as a late 2nd-early 3rd round pick, and Brian Lawton said he talked to 20 teams and none of them had Frederic in their top 50.

DeBrusk: Consensus was that he was a late 1st round pick (25-29 range). Although a "hit," it was a poor/mismanaged pick because Connor/Barzal/Konecny were all viewed at the time as being vastly superior players, and they have all panned out to be superior players 5 years later.

Beecher: Was viewed as a mid 2nd round pick and has limited offensive upside. Although it has only been one year, he didn't exactly have a season that blew people away, whereas Bobby Brink and Arthur Kaliyev, who were viewed as superior players which greater offensive upside at the time of the draft, had much better seasons.

Kaliyev absolutely can't skate at an NHL level. If
he doesn't significantly improve it his goalscoring
acumen will be limitred and he'll bust.

Brink is talented but he isn't the second coming of
DeBrincat. You and I completely disagree about Beecher.
I saw him live in Michigan at the WJSS and he was really good.
He wasn't nearly as bad as people like yourself made him out to be at The WJC. He had one of the highest zone exit
and entrance numbers on the team. He wasn't good but wasn't god awful.

You really just post every thought that pops into your head, don't you?

So are you saying only 7th overall picks can be compared to Ryan Suter? He's commenting on what he's read about his style, no reason to be a dink about it.

 

[Drunkenfish]

The kid is looking like Ron Weasly in Harry Potter but at 6feet4.

 

[Tbaybruin]

6 foot 4 dman who can put a lot of points on the board I'm in

As a overager. Really hard to evaluate when the majority of players are younger

 

[Tbaybruin]

Bruins liked him. That's ok. But the smart move is to trade down and get a 4th that you don't have. Now I'm ok with the pick.
