Chat, is it good to have (most likely) four of the top-10 OHL producers?
I'm still mad we didn't take Young Pro, but whatever.

He's got an edge, that's for sure. Saginaw is a pretty chippy team.That's a lot of PIMs for Parekh.
Some interesting data cards for NA prospects going around twitter right now.
I can't speak to methodology, but these all pass my sniff check. The only OHL defenseman that grades higher than Dickinson is Matthew Schaefer. Parekh lands right behind them.
Even with his production picking back up it's hard to get too excited about Musty given his defensive game. Like I don't think we'll ever be able to put him on a line with Smith in the NHL.
They might both put up 80-100 pts but still give away a lot on the other end.Maybe if you pair them with a stronger two way guy like Chernyshov. Musty and Smith have shown some good chemistry in the prospect scrimmages.

I could possibly see it working with Smith at RW and Celebrini centering but IMO we're better off with Will and Mack on separate lines in the long run.Maybe if you pair them with a stronger two way guy like Chernyshov. Musty and Smith have shown some good chemistry in the prospect scrimmages.
I still have hope he can get it to passable. It's not that he's totally lost or incapable of engaging physically. The main reason I want to see him with the Cuda is to see how much of his bad defensive results are Sudbury's system and coaching. I have seen Musty have strong defensive games and I have seen Musty have incredibly poor defensive games. Really depends on the day.Even with his production picking back up it's hard to get too excited about Musty given his defensive game. Like I don't think we'll ever be able to put him on a line with Smith in the NHL.
I'm gonna guess they're just even strength. It was also mentioned somewhere that the data set only goes until the beginning of March.Maybe I'm reading those cards wrong, but why are all their stats wrong?
Smiths always been able to turn it on when he needed too. I think he gets judged harshly because he doesn't move his feet enough. I hope Musty is just bored. Part system part boredom. You'd want him to care more about details like that but who knows? I see immaturity in his game but when he's given a real assignment like playing in the AHL I bet he turns it around quicklySmith had defensive issues in college also, but now he is pretty defensively sound where he is more of a positive then a negative player defensively.
Love Smith but he is nowhere near "defensively sound" in the NHL right now.Smith had defensive issues in college also, but now he is pretty defensively sound where he is more of a positive then a negative player defensively.
He is very rarely out of position, that to me is defensively sound. Would i trust him to go 1 on 1 with mcdavid or Mackinnon or those type of players? Yeah no. But 5 on 5 i am not worried anymore with him on the ice defensivelyLove Smith but he is nowhere near "defensively sound" in the NHL right now.
He is occasionally out of position. But frankly, being "in position" for a winger is pretty meaningless if you aren't actually pressuring the puck-holder, don't block shots, win 10% of your puck-battles on the boards, don't support breakouts, and are generally unthreatening to a defenseman.He is very rarely out of position, that to me is defensively sound.

I think he does a good job supporting breakouts since his... breakout. That's like the one thing I can count on him being able to do these days defensively. He's not winning a contested puck battle on the breakout but he reads rim plays well enough to be there first.He is occasionally out of position.
