Thoughts About the 2030 NHL Entry DRAFT

[LemonSauceD]

The world will end before 2030!

 

[Craig Ludwig]

It's not that ridiculous. Dustin Rose was a household name at age 4.

I miss the Dustin Rose updates

 

[macbowes]

2030 is the furthest out draft for which I have started adding names to my watchlist. The players are: Jack Allgood, Jett Evans, Chase Hutter, Ian Kim, Jordan Labelle, Kale Nicol, and Emmett Rumbold.

I don't enjoy pinning hopes and speculating on 14 year old kids. Doesn't feel right to me. For every Connor McDavid, there is an equal and opposite Sean Day.

I get that, and honestly at this age there will be more than end up like Sean Day than McDavid.

Really not liking the 2030 draft. 2040 though that’s a game changer

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

About the Europeans.
I'll start with the Czechs, who I've researched more for obvious reasons. The 2030 draft will not be the best for the Czech Republic compared to the previous 2029 (just look at names like Zelezny, Vik, Holy, Hromek, Richter, Stavicek) and the following 31 (Jan Kotlar, A. Kachlir, M. Rejthar, M. Rocek, O. Holecek). I don't even see any guaranteed first-rounders for the 30 draft yet. However, some players can rise quite high. First of all, I'll note the defensemen: Yaroslav Kornilov (Sparta system) plays in a league with guys a year and a half older and shows results similar to forwards. Tadeas Olesz (Vitkovice-11) is another first-class defenseman growing up in the Czech hockey system. Rostislav Olesz's son, unlike his famous father, chose the defender's role. I would also like to mention another defenseman, Miroslav Vavřina. Among the forwards, M. Hanzal-jr., I. Kruzik, J. Jindra, M. Slanec may join the ranks.
The Slovaks are in a similar situation. Their group of top players for the next draft (31) (J. Kral, A. Kristofik, K. Hecko, L. Hestera) looks, in my opinion, somewhat stronger than the leaders of the draft discussed in this thread. And the draft a year earlier (29) will be even more attractive for the Slovaks - there is simply a scattering of talents there (Melicherik, Tomastik, Hornak, Vaksmansky). But there will also be someone to watch at the draft-30. Such names as O. Polievka, S. Antos, S. Bentara, R. Huna may be successful.
Russia will offer great forwards for the first round of this draft: L. Gribov (may be in the top 5), A. Tarasenko, R. Kovalchuk). The second tier includes such guys as defensemen F. Kryuchkov, K. Dautov, T. Asyukov, forwards K. Yelovikov, D. Malygin, D. Fomin.
The Swedes have an undisputed leader O. Salts. Recently, E. Herrlin has caught up with him. Other interesting Swedish names for the draft-30: G. Wennberg, S. Klingzell, N. Huang, O. Roynezon, A. Begic, S. Blom.
Finland. They won't have the same superstar as the year before (J. Nyberg), but guys like W. Huuskonen, L. Nabb, K. Kaltakari could well make it into the top 50. The second tier will be R. Wei, L. Posa, H. Joenniemi.
Germany. Max Penkin's brother Danny Penkin may prove to be no less talented.
The Swiss stand out for Liam Bosshard.
It is also necessary to continue to keep an eye on the Japanese Torataro Horie.

Are Kovalchuk and Tarasenko related to the NHL stars by the same name?

I thought this would have been a George Leafer thread. What ever happened to that guy?

No one knows. Stopped posting here in July. Hard to know why. Hope he’s okay.

> Thoughts on the 2030 Draft?

Not a single one actually

Didn’t once think about it until I read the title of this thread

 

[Fantomas]

Hearing from numerous sources that Dustin Rose Jr., the son of Hall of Famer Dustin Rose, is the overwhelming favourite for the first overall pick.

 

[The Shot]

Who has said this lol? These kids aren't even in high school.

just search up 2030 entry draft on hf forums

 

[The Shot]

TJ Celebrini?

 

[macbowes]

TJ Celebrini?

RJ Celebrini, but so far he hasn't stood out from his peers the way the others have. Obviously there's tons of time, and he will have all the tools to succeed, so you never know.

 

[wetcoast]

Here are the stats from the 2022 Brick Invitational, which should roughly correspond with the 2030 draft.

https://www.brickhockey.ca/division/0/28386/leaders2/10150/0/1#stats

All one needs to do is to go back in time and see how hit and miss the scoring leaders are here....wayyyy tooooo early.

 

[Boyon90]

Thats a good thread,

If i have to poop I will come back an read it

 

[LaineBOOM]

Sorry to bump this thread but its the closest to the topic I wanna ask about:
- who was the kid who had his own thread here since he was like 10 years old? i think he is at drafting age this year.

I just cant remember his name. I wanna see if he is actually still doing well enough to even get drafted.

 

[LaineBOOM]

He was projected to be like the next McDavid. Ummm, Pettersson? Emil Pettersson? Something like that.

 

[LaineBOOM]

Haha ok it was

Mathias Emilio Pettersen​

 

[LaineBOOM]

Drafted already in 2018, 167th or similar. The yearly videos of his skills and goals were damn epic. Too bad he was apparently more about hype than actual generational talent.

To return to thread title: its hard to predict future success, mostly.

 

[bigdog16]

Its certainly early but if there was a phenom at this age we would probably know of them. We knew of Mcdavid and Bedard at this age and I am fairly sure they had their own threads at this point. Kiviharju’s thread started when he was 11…

 

[Kegs]

Well most of them like paw patrol but at least 30% are on the blipi wagon.

 

[Brodeur]

Being from southern California, I've enjoyed following the handful of local guys who've made the NHL in recent years. I'm really curious to see if there's a bump for the kids who were born into the Kings 2012/14 Stanley Cups.

[Mac and speed]

Dustin Rose!

My buddies kid looks electric out there at recess football

 

[seadawg]

These kids are going to be drafted into the CHL this time next year. You wanna believe scouts know the top names already, just like they knew Madden Daneault, Parker McMillan, and Kade O'Rourke at this time last year.

The problem with this thread isn't really discussing kids from 2030..it's more about the way the thread title is worded. No one can honestly talk much about the 2030 draft in general, but certain kids are definitely already well-known across the hockey community: Kale Nicol, Jack Keiser, Tristan Reynolds come to mind off the top of my head.
