Steal of the 2023 draft

[Michoulicious]

ASP at #17.

 

[SI90]

Nick Lardis 3rd round

So absurd. He’s going to kill it with Bedard and Moore in the future

 

[King'sPawn]

For the Kings, I was ready to celebrate at the idea of getting Ziemmer at 54. Then they passed on him, which saddened me.

But then they got him at 78.

 

[Goldenhands]

Gavin Brindley 34th OV (13th on my list)

Oliver Moore 19th OV (11th)

Maxim Strbak 45th OV (19th)

Stenberg 25th OV (8th)

Dvorsky 10th OV (6th)

Edstrom 32th OV (17th)

Wahlberg 39th OV (16th)

Bjarnason 51th OV (22th)

 

[Ace]

I had Benson ranked 5th…so 13 is a great pick

I also had Musty ranked a good bit higher.

Rykov in round 4 is just criminal

 

[EdJovanovski]

Gracyn Sawchyn at 63rd

 

[Jbcraig1883]

Riley Heidt at the very end of the 2nd.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

EASILY Perreault at 23. 10+ teams are going to be kicking themselves.

Gavin Brindley 34th OV (13th on my list)

Oliver Moore 19th OV (11th)

Maxim Strbak 45th OV (19th)

Stenberg 25th OV (8th)

Dvorsky 10th OV (6th)

Edstrom 32th OV (17th)

Wahlberg 39th OV (16th)

Bjarnason 51th OV (22th)

You had Stenberg at 8??

 

[sting101]

Moore Ritchie Gibson Lardis Brustewicz and Rasmus Larsson seemed like great value picks.

Cristall if he can find another gear or 2 could be a home run for Wash

Michkov is the obvious one at the top but i get why teams are leery given his ability to walk away and dictate his terms. Benson and Yager i was a huge fan of leading up to this draft and wouldn't be surprised to see exceed their draft positions Wood also but lets be honest a lot of great potential players in 2023. Reminds me of 2015

FWIW, he’s been a standout at Blues Rookie camp. He’s a puck hound with good speed and a heavy shot. Hes a leader and a standup kid. I think the Blues got a definite steal at 25.

also I would like to add Vorobyov in the 7th round. He’s been a surprise during camp and the fact he’s in the US playing in camp is really exciting. This kids got skill in spades and dropped because of the Russian factor. I don’t know his ceiling, but everyone who has seen him in camp have been seriously impressed.

Guess you liked the Blues draft

Vorobyov was 2021 7th rd pick. Susuyev was this year’s 7th.

 

[kings11]

Koehn Ziemmer in the 3rd round..

 

[ValeriKamensky]

I always wonder how people give answers to questions like this in 3 days after the draft.

 

[Flamesfan62]

Aydar Suniev

 

[hellwar9]

Alex Ciernik can be steal.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Felix Unger Sörum. He will be an elite Selke center in the near future.

Aho
Sörum 1A/1B center punchline will terrorize the league for at least a decade.

I'm pretty sure Michkov wouldn't mind to play in Montreal...

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Aydar Suniev

Morin has the most potential out of draft picks. He can be a legit Josi lite if he fully hits ceiling.

 

[DemiGod]

Musty, Sawchyn

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Brindley

 

[Pavels Dog]

Danielson, Sandin-Pellikka, Augustine, Gibson, Cleveland and Dower-Nilsson, just to pick some names off the top of my head.

 

[Fatass]

Yup. The teams picking at 5 and 6 are going to be kicking themselves for passing on Michkov. The top four were set and all got great players. It should have been Michkov next. He’s the steal of this draft.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Danielson, Sandin-Pellikka, Augustine, Gibson, Cleveland and Dower-Nilsson, just to pick some names off the top of my head.

You mean the most off board picks

 

[Sasso09]

Michkov should have went 2nd despite his situation

Benson should have been 8th at worst

Moore should have went 12-15



Outside of the obvious, biggest steal of the draft was Ciernik in the 4th round. Guy should have been early to mid 2nd

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

I thought the Canes got a steal getting Jayden Perron so late. He’s got great edges and acceleration. Being able to change directions really quickly is such an underrated skill.

The Canes got him in the 90s right? Washington had pick 104 and I was hoping they’d trade up to get him since I didn’t think he’d get past 100. The Canes got great value selecting him where they did.
