Re: 2023 Draft Discussion

Above average speed, I’d say. Nothing that stood out to me as being either really good or really bad. He’s not going to wow anybody with his feet, but I don’t think it’s a liability, either. Here are all my notes on him:

Re: 2023 Draft Discussion

After going undrafted, Hudson Thornton- D had a amazing year (23g-51a in 68gp). How good is the kid ? Hopefully he’ll get drafted this year. I just can’t wait for our upcoming draft to begin. I’d be surprised if he goes undrafted, for sure. He excels at a clean breakout, very patient with the puck ...

Beniers vs Brink Bet - Year 2

The better question is what happens when Brink doesn’t play 150 games because he has zero acceleration and is only productive in spots where NHL defensemen are going to completely negate him. Tell you what, Casper. Let’s do this instead. Each year, I’ll bring up this comparison at the end of the se...

Re: College Hockey talk

Agreed. Portillo struggled at some inopportune times. Fantilli looked so good. His goal was a beauty and he could have had one or two more. But the Quinnipiac team was solid and the bottom six for Michigan was mostly ineffective against them. I'm disappointed we don't get the Big10 rematch, but it w...

I claimed him, saw I was at 50, and deleted my post. Sorry for the confusion.

Re: College Hockey talk

Watched the (recorded) Big10 title game yesterday to take some notes on Brindley. Usually when I’m taking notes, I don’t watch the “game” at all because the focus is so narrow, but that was a rare circumstance of a game being so good you can’t help but watch. Would be big fun to get that rematch for...

Re: College Hockey talk

If you get a chance, you should check out the Chicago Steel, though. Jayden Perron is a decent prospect for the 2023 draft, but Mack Celebrini--the 2024 draft prospect--is an excellent prospect. Here was summary from a game about a month ago: "Sensational player. Whip smart, dedicated at both e...

Re: PIT-VGK

Good point. Still, in the two drafts I've done here, it seems like everyone does a pretty good job. The picks aren't wholly inconsistent with actual draft results.

Re: PIT-VGK

My 10% reference is based on a study I did of every top 150 draft pick for over fifty years of data. By pick, with breakdowns for 1, 3 and 5 years of NHL service, adjusted for expansion. The same study incorporates a risk-adjustment for Goals Above Replacement by pick position, which I use to evalua...

Re: PIT-VGK

The probability of that pick (time-adjusted estimate) playing five years in the NHL is about 10%. Just saying.
