  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

After a disappointing regular season (statistically) dropped from 41-8-10-18 to 42-5-6-11, MBN is scoring in the playoffs again 4-2-1-3. ASP is 4-0-3-3. MBN playoff performance last year 12-4-6-10 boosted his draft stock and he is off to a good start again.
Both Elite and Hockeydb have the Skulleftea playing 4 games but the team up 3 games to none in their current series against Farjestad. I don't understand where the 4th game comes from.

He went from Allsvenskan to the SHL, so his stats didn't drop. The SHL is insanely hard to score in, especially for a 19 year old. The fact that he's producing as a 19 year old in the playoffs is a great sign. He plays a playoff style game which is pretty intriguing, assuming we make the playoffs some day

Farjestad won the first game of the series. If you look at the scoreboard in the clip you shared it shows where the series is at. It says 2-1 for skelleftea.

Single best predictor of NHL success, by a huge margin too.

I should have said "not only indication". How many kids put up a point per game in the CHL, play in the world juniors and never play an NHL game. Then you have how many players like Kasper and hopefully Danielson that may not set the AHL on fire but go on to become highly productive and useful NHL players. Its always nice to see your teams prospects filling the goals and assist column but sometimes those intangible traits are overlooked.

Looking at the top 20 scorers in the AHL currently and not seeing a Danielson doesn't make me worry too much. Same goes for MBN in the SHL.

You keep saying this, but no, the NHL Draft order is a better indicator than pure statistics. Which means that expert evaluations (taking into account both statistics, direct observation, and other soft skills) is clearly (and obviously) superior than stat watching.

It actually isn’t. There was an article on this a while back - I’ll try to find it - where someone redrafted based on just junior scoring snd it fared much better than who NHL teams actually drafted.

We've had quite a few players that tore it up in juniors, and it didn't translate to NHL.

MBN's stats are pretty good with the national team where he actually gets ice time.
 
Not saying junior success = NHL success. Just saying that lack of junior success very often does = lack of NHL success. Obviously other things matter. But lack of production isn't irrelevant to future success, it's the one thing that's the most relevant.

A Data-driven look at the top 250 prospects in the 2023 NHL Draft

Here is a data-driven look at how the top 250 prospects stack up for the upcoming NHL Entry Draft.

Here's a 2023 ranking based entirely on stats. 2 years later, this is pretty close to how all of these guys have performed in higher leagues. And it's not a crazy different draft than what actually went down.
