Here's your hosts, Jesse Sovier 4 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:29,399 and Victor nuno Fantasy Hockey Live back once again to talk fantasy hockey. Never 5 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,000 too soon to talk about the new year, and to do so. I'm 6 00:00:33,079 --> 00:00:37,119 Jesse Severe Fantrack. So that's Victor Nunio of EP Rings side. Victor, 7 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,000 how you doing. I'm doing awesome, Jesse. Yeah, exciting times. 8 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,240 It's hot, it's warm, and it's hockey weather, isn't it, Victor? 9 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,679 For us, it's always hockey weather. But in California you've got like 10 00:00:48,759 --> 00:00:51,880 one weather, so I've got no sympathy. I keep saying that, you 11 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,600 keep claiming that you have different weathers, and you've got fires and floods and 12 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,719 stuff like that. So I guess I gotta leave you alone. Fire season 13 00:00:59,799 --> 00:01:02,719 and yeah, it changes throughout the day. But I actually I had a 14 00:01:02,759 --> 00:01:06,959 little bit of a taste of the opposite weather in Mexico because it was at 15 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,840 least on the East coast, it was raining NonStop. So we went from 16 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,400 geese how it's normally here, which is where it pretty much never rains to 17 00:01:15,159 --> 00:01:19,319 it rained constantly, and we were walking around in some places with shin deep 18 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:25,719 water just like several inches. It was crazy. So I got a little 19 00:01:25,719 --> 00:01:27,000 bit of that and I realized that sucks. I don't want to live in 20 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,959 that. Yeah, is Mexico one of those countries that has a monsoon season? 21 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,760 I know Southeast Asia lots of monsoon seasons going on. But what was 22 00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:40,159 that? Just a weather pattern on the east coast, like in Kancun and 23 00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:42,400 the Yuca Damp Peninsula. That's where a lot of the hurricanes start tropical storms 24 00:01:42,439 --> 00:01:47,519 and they swirled through the Gulf and they come up to southeastern USA. It's 25 00:01:47,519 --> 00:01:51,760 similar to that Florida, Louisiana, Texas and all that. So that that's 26 00:01:51,799 --> 00:01:53,359 what it was like, and it was it was I guess the nice thing 27 00:01:53,439 --> 00:01:57,000 is that it's it was never really that cold. It's not like it was 28 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,120 cold and rainy. It was just rainy all the time, almost never stopped 29 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,480 the whole time we were there. Yeah, yeah, all right, this 30 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,759 has been your one month later weather report on a place that I don't think 31 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:15,520 we have any listeners.

We're going 60 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:27,399 to take a break now and come back and talk Toronto, Maples. We'd 61 00:04:27,439 --> 00:04:30,279 like to welcome into show. Our guest who's going to talk about the Toronto 62 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:35,959 maple leaves from Lexpress dot Ca. It's Cindy Calon Cindy, how you doing 63 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,759 today? Hi am good arn, thanks for having me, very good, 64 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,160 very good. Ready to talk some leaves. Who's ever done it? There's 65 00:04:44,199 --> 00:04:46,600 no talk about leaves out there in the world. I'm sure this will be 66 00:04:46,759 --> 00:04:48,759 something that people will be starving for. Where did it start with? This 67 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:55,199 year? The Leafs made famously their eighth straight playoffs, but lost in the 68 00:04:55,199 --> 00:04:59,199 first round as the underdog. Mind you, okay, let's just get that 69 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,399 straight. In so seven games, they had the fifth most standing point in 70 00:05:02,439 --> 00:05:06,800 their history. They were one goal away from leading the league in regular season, 71 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:12,279 scoring three hundred and three goals, but their bottom ten save percentage led 72 00:05:12,319 --> 00:05:17,000 to their status as fifteenth in goals allowed among the sixteen teams that made the 73 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,680 playoffs. The only team in the playoffs who allowed more goals was Tampa Bay. 74 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:27,240 Can you believe that anyway? That's a rabbit hole. There were spectacular 75 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,720 individual performances. We're going to get into them. There was also blame to 76 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,079 go around at other moments. Coach Sheldon Keef was a victim of the year. 77 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:39,319 He departed a year after his former gn did. What is the mood 78 00:05:39,399 --> 00:05:44,639 in LEAs Land and what do you expect for next year? The mood here 79 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,439 is the same every year, to be honest, It's just the summer doesn't 80 00:05:47,439 --> 00:05:50,839 matter that much. The season doesn't matter that much. It's all about the 81 00:05:50,879 --> 00:05:55,600 spring in the playoffs. When playoffs comes around, everybody's excited. There's a 82 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,279 big buzz around the city as soon as the leafs are out, and it's 83 00:05:59,319 --> 00:06:01,879 everybody's going to get fired. There's a panting button with the fans here. 84 00:06:02,199 --> 00:06:05,879 But right now, the people in Toronto are so used to it, to 85 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:11,000 see the same thing year after year that is just okay. We'll get excited 86 00:06:11,319 --> 00:06:15,120 when April comes around. So it's a little bit sad in a way, 87 00:06:15,439 --> 00:06:17,800 but they're just so used to it. It should be interesting for next season. 88 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,720 We'll see what happened this summer with free agency and everything. But I 89 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:26,639 think with the new coach coming, there should be some some new Obviously there's 90 00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:29,639 gonna be a lot of changes, but we've seen some changes with the coaching 91 00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:32,079 staff in general. But I think we might see a new culture and a 92 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,839 new vibe in general. With this team this season. One player about whom 93 00:06:36,959 --> 00:06:42,079 there will be no free agent drama this summer, because that was already solved 94 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,519 is Austin Matthews. All he did this year was capture a third rocket, 95 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,920 Richard with sixty nine goals, and set a new career high in points with 96 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,600 one hundred and seven. Remember I'm old enough to remember when Jamie Benn won 97 00:06:55,639 --> 00:07:00,000 the art Ross with eighty seven points and now Austin Matthews gets one hundred seventy. 98 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,879 He actually was not close to the art Ross, but anyway, he 99 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,079 is one of the absolute best. In what we call bash blocks plus shots 100 00:07:06,079 --> 00:07:11,680 plus hits, Austin Matthews is with elite showing in all three of those. 101 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:16,160 Actually, his contract is about to get huge and maybe make it a little 102 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:21,000 more boss level for the Toronto maple LEAs to assemble a championship team around him. 103 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:26,680 But it's pretty hard to argue that Austin Matthews does not deserve thirteen plus 104 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,600 million dollars if you make any equippal with his stats, if you're trying to 105 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,040 pick at it, obviously the assists are not going to be there in great 106 00:07:33,079 --> 00:07:38,720 measure. That's not necessarily his game maybe because every time he's on the offensive 107 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,600 end, he's the one who knocks the puck in, So how is he 108 00:07:41,639 --> 00:07:45,600 going to get assists because he's the one who's always scoring Anyway, Is this 109 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,560 peak Austin Matthews, Cindy, and is it gonna come back the same way 110 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,639 next year? I don't think we've seen the peak yet. It was an 111 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,800 amazing season for him, sixty nine goals. That seventy goals watch was awesome 112 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,480 to look at. There was a big buzz in the city here around that 113 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,800 in the lead obviously, but he's injured on enough pretty much every year. 114 00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:05,759 Even if they say it or they don't say it, there's always something. 115 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,399 So I don't think we've seen the peak yet. He can do better than 116 00:08:09,439 --> 00:08:13,519 that, and he wants to do better than that, even though it's insane 117 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,360 that he's got a rocket Richards so many times in the sixty nine goal. 118 00:08:16,439 --> 00:08:18,759 But I think there's a lot more to Austin Matthews, and I think he's 119 00:08:18,839 --> 00:08:22,639 just going to keep going from here. On the flip side, a player 120 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,560 for whom there will be some offseason drama, at least so far as i've 121 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:31,439 heard, it would be Mitch Marner. All this guy did. I don't 122 00:08:31,439 --> 00:08:33,000 know what we think about, but all he did was score in the top 123 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,200 twenty in points per sixty in the NHL. Last year, he led Toronto 124 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:43,000 and assists despite missing a dozen games to an ankle injury. He's very definitely 125 00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:46,519 not a guy who's the bash master, block shots and hits, but he 126 00:08:46,639 --> 00:08:50,759 is unquestioned on the score sheet. Now he seems to be in the middle 127 00:08:50,759 --> 00:08:54,720 of a lot of trade speculation. I guess, if you're a leap watcher, 128 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,279 you look and you say, which one of those big four Big five 129 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,960 contracts could use the oreetically move a year away from his free agency, and 130 00:09:03,399 --> 00:09:09,679 that it's Marner who's the only player, the most likely player to be able 131 00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:13,519 to move. But I'm sure having three points in a seven game playoff series 132 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:18,480 did not help Marner's case among the fans. Is Mitch Marner going to be 133 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,919 a leaf going forward? Keep in mind people are going to be hearing this 134 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,759 several weeks after we record it. Maybe he is already not a leaf. 135 00:09:26,799 --> 00:09:30,120 I apologize for that if that's the case, But do you expect he's going 136 00:09:30,159 --> 00:09:31,039 to be a leaf going forward? And if so, are we going to 137 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,960 expect the same type of production. So this is interesting because if you would 138 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,679 have asked a few weeks back, everybody was on the same page that there 139 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,360 was no chance of seeing Marner back with the team next season. But what's 140 00:09:43,399 --> 00:09:46,039 going around in the city right now is that they might have started to talk 141 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:52,720 about a contract extension, which is not really making fans happy because Marner ended 142 00:09:52,799 --> 00:09:56,399 up being he's the one that everybody wants to see go away. Unfortunately, 143 00:09:56,639 --> 00:10:01,480 He's a kid from Toronto that got everything on silver platter. He could be 144 00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:05,519 a hero with a banner in the rafter, but because of his poor performance 145 00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:09,240 in the playoff or at least like this year was not great. Usually he's 146 00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:13,000 almost a pointed game, but he's just the type of play he's playing in 147 00:10:13,039 --> 00:10:16,159 the playoff is not as good as he is in regular season, and quite 148 00:10:16,159 --> 00:10:18,679 often you just don't see him that much in the playoffs because of the type 149 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,639 of money he's going to commend. People want him to go. But it's 150 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,919 been a lot of drama around Mitch Marner in the last few weeks, and 151 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,759 I think it's going to keep going for a few weeks again. But I'd 152 00:10:28,799 --> 00:10:31,559 say we're at fifty to fifty right now. Of him coming back in September. 153 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,360 Wow, if Mitch Marner isn't back, and you might know this by 154 00:10:35,399 --> 00:10:39,480 the time you're hearing this. Luckily they already have another first line right wing 155 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,279 ready to take his place, and that would be William ne Lander. Obviously, 156 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,559 Big Willie got his payday already. He finished just behind Marner in terms 157 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:52,039 of point pace this past season and thirteen ahead and total points to the Marner 158 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,159 missing some time, and I think most hilariously called him out on the bench 159 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,279 in the middle of the playoffs. That went all around the internet. That 160 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:03,480 was quite funny and maybe not so funny to some of the Marner lovers. 161 00:11:03,879 --> 00:11:09,080 Statistically, this was his best season, was neilanders and as he nearly crested 162 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,120 one hundred point mark. He's been above eighty the past three seasons, and 163 00:11:13,159 --> 00:11:16,960 his offense looks really good, even though maybe defensively he isn't the best, 164 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,559 but we don't need to worry about that right now. His offense is so 165 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,360 great. So do you think, Cindy, that Neilander can be closer to 166 00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:26,879 one hundred point pace or will he be closer to eighty next season? I 167 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,320 think he's gonna hit one hundred last season he was great, sorry the previous 168 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,159 two, but the forty goal season this year was quite something for him, 169 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,919 and we see in the way he plays he's just really finding himself more. 170 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,440 I think he was in the shadow of Matthews and Marner a bit, but 171 00:11:45,519 --> 00:11:48,360 now that he's got his extension and everything, we're seeing another level to his 172 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,759 game. And he's just a guy that loves to play. He's a gamer 173 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,440 and he wants to be here. And for the last two playoffs, two 174 00:11:54,519 --> 00:11:56,840 years in the playoff, he's been the best guy for the Leaf. So 175 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,080 I think we're just going to see more and more from Nilander and I would 176 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,559 almost bet that he's going to hit one hundred point next year. That's how 177 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:09,519 come Fit and nfefeel about that. And then there's John Tavares. John Tavares 178 00:12:09,519 --> 00:12:11,919 slotted in right where one would hope, as far as I'm concerned, in 179 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:18,480 an outstanding second center on an elite offensive team that make a contract has aged 180 00:12:18,519 --> 00:12:20,919 well enough, I would say eleven million dollars. Sure, you might argue 181 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,720 that's a bit more than the production was last year, but it ain't far 182 00:12:24,799 --> 00:12:28,240 off. Considered when you sign one of those long term contracts, you typically 183 00:12:28,279 --> 00:12:31,080 expect that in the out years it's not going to quite hit the level. 184 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:37,879 But he was excellent twenty nine goals thirty six assists in eighty games. He's 185 00:12:37,919 --> 00:12:41,639 one of the better defenders among the forwards on the team at even strength according 186 00:12:41,639 --> 00:12:45,919 to the advanced stats, and led the team in individual expected goals on the 187 00:12:45,919 --> 00:12:48,759 power play. How do you expect Tavaris to go forward? Are they going 188 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,799 to sign him? Is he going to get that gentle and j Copitar contract? 189 00:12:52,919 --> 00:12:58,039 Slowly going down treatment after this one? And will another sixty to sixty 190 00:12:58,039 --> 00:13:03,200 five points be in the off Yeah? I do think Tavarius will sign again 191 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,879 with the Leaves and take a discount for sure to stay here. He already 192 00:13:05,919 --> 00:13:09,759 said there was not a chance he was going to wave his no move clause. 193 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,759 He wants to stay here. He wants to end his career in Toronto. 194 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,279 He's been great for the Leaves. As much as people don't like the 195 00:13:15,279 --> 00:13:18,399 contract right now, when you look at his production, it's not bad at 196 00:13:18,399 --> 00:13:22,279 all consider ring and when he signed, there's a ton of other teams that 197 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,039 wanted it, that offered him more money, So there was no issue back 198 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,080 then, and obviously with that length of contract. At some point the production 199 00:13:28,159 --> 00:13:31,360 is going to go down a bit. But when you look at Tavara's number, 200 00:13:31,399 --> 00:13:33,919 it's steady every year. You know what you're getting. He leads by 201 00:13:33,919 --> 00:13:39,159 example. He's a good captain, good player. He always works hard even 202 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,919 if the puck doesn't go in, and sometimes there's a few slumps here and 203 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,120 there, you can tell that he just always worked really hard. And I 204 00:13:45,159 --> 00:13:48,799 think even if that contract is expensive and it's still going to be a lot 205 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,840 of money next year, it's worth it. And I do think he's going 206 00:13:50,879 --> 00:13:54,080 to hit the sixty point for sure again next season. He's just so steady, 207 00:13:54,159 --> 00:13:58,519 so constant all the time. Now there's a ton of offensive players to 208 00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:01,840 talk about it on this team, So we're going to do the next couple 209 00:14:01,879 --> 00:14:05,360 and they'll pick them. Format here, give you two players and tell you 210 00:14:05,759 --> 00:14:09,519 or ask you which one of them you think is going to be the better 211 00:14:09,519 --> 00:14:13,320 performing for next year. We got Max Domi revitalized himself a little bit last 212 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:18,840 year with nine goals and thirty eight assists across eighty games, and you got 213 00:14:18,879 --> 00:14:24,559 Tyler Bertuzzi twenty one goals and twenty two assists over eighty games. Do you 214 00:14:24,559 --> 00:14:26,960 think those guys will be you expect. What do you expect for them in 215 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,600 the future with this team and or without this team? Up to you? 216 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,720 Yeah, right now, they've both been in talks for a new contract with 217 00:14:35,759 --> 00:14:37,600 the Leaf. They both said that they want to they would like to stay, 218 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,639 So I think there's a big possibility that we'll see both of them back, 219 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,159 at least one of them for sure. Max Domi is an interesting case 220 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,759 because for the first part of this season, everybody thought that maybe it was 221 00:14:48,039 --> 00:14:52,159 a mistake to have brought him to Toronto and maybe there was too much pressure 222 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,000 on him because of his father. But then he turned around. When he 223 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,879 started to play with Austin Matthews, we saw a new player that it really 224 00:14:58,919 --> 00:15:01,879 helped Matthews as well, and it became just a fit. He became a 225 00:15:01,879 --> 00:15:05,039 fixture on the first line. And now it's a no brainer that everybody wants 226 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,639 him back and he brings something different to the team. So I wouldn't be 227 00:15:07,639 --> 00:15:11,960 surprised to see him back. And he ended up turning things around and he 228 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,919 ended up ended the season with forty seven points, so it's not too bad. 229 00:15:15,519 --> 00:15:18,600 And then for Bertusey, it's a bit of a question mark. I 230 00:15:18,639 --> 00:15:22,120 think everybody thought he was going to be better than he was. There was 231 00:15:22,159 --> 00:15:26,200 a long stretch where he couldn't even buy a goal. He was just quite 232 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,960 unlucky. But same thing him Bertusy and Domi. They both bring some things 233 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,480 that the Leaves were lacking a bit more moratality and they're just more aggressive and 234 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,399 that grits that the Leaves don't have that much. I wouldn't be surprised to 235 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,519 see both of them back, but I would pick Max Domi over Bertus for 236 00:15:41,559 --> 00:15:48,360 the Leaves for next year. And the second pick em Matthew Nice versus Bobby 237 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,679 McCann. Nice with or with thirty five points across eighty games, the young 238 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,000 whipper snapper breaking into the NHL. Bobby McCann, a bit more of a 239 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:03,559 journeyman player, actually had more points at forty seven in eighty games. So 240 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:08,000 which of those two are you expecting more from next year? I'd say probably 241 00:16:08,039 --> 00:16:12,799 Bobby McCann. It's interesting with McMahon because he's older. He's twenty eight years 242 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:17,120 old. He never really had a shot, and this time when they called 243 00:16:17,159 --> 00:16:19,600 him up there was injuries and ended up playing longer, and he just took 244 00:16:19,639 --> 00:16:25,039 full advantage of the opportunity for him and it worked really well and we saw 245 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,320 what he can do when he gets ice time and not just a bottom six 246 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,080 role here and there. So I think it's going to be interesting to see 247 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,240 what he does next year now that he's got an extension and he knows he's 248 00:16:33,279 --> 00:16:37,200 secure for a little bit for the first time in his carrier basically. And 249 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,039 then for Matthew Nis, he's younger, he hasn't played that much yet, 250 00:16:41,279 --> 00:16:45,200 we see what he can do, especially in the playoffs. We get flashes 251 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,759 from Knives that are really good. He's a gamer and we can tell that 252 00:16:49,799 --> 00:16:52,840 he's going to be great. I think he just needs a little bit more 253 00:16:52,879 --> 00:16:57,000 time with the NHL and everything. I think McMahon might be better next season, 254 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,360 but it depends on what canon role and what kind of ice time they 255 00:17:00,399 --> 00:17:03,639 give to Matthew Nice, because I think he's going to be He's going to 256 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,839 be someone to watch for sure as well. I think I said McCann instead 257 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,680 of McMahon. I don't know what's wrong with me today, Cindia. My 258 00:17:10,759 --> 00:17:14,799 apologies there. Let's switch to the blue line and I'm pretty sure I can 259 00:17:14,799 --> 00:17:18,400 get the name Morgan Riley correct today. Even in my befuddled state. He 260 00:17:18,519 --> 00:17:22,519 is one of the most proficient defensemen on the power play and at even strength 261 00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:27,640 in the National Hockey League. Scoring against was objectively much better when he was 262 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,960 not on the ice. In other words, not so great with the defense. 263 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,839 A third of the three long term contracts addressed in this episode already and 264 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:42,720 the upcoming remaining six years will all play out while Riley is in his thirties. 265 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:47,559 But again, last year fifty eight points in seventy two games. That's 266 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:52,160 top tier for scoring in this league. Do you anticipate any change in Riley's 267 00:17:52,279 --> 00:17:56,880 usage or production with this team? And is his defense really that bad? 268 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,799 Is it going to impact the way that the treat him. No, I 269 00:18:00,799 --> 00:18:03,240 don't think his defense is that bad. It's just funny with the Leaves in 270 00:18:03,279 --> 00:18:07,119 general, every time there's a big name missing, there's someone else that step 271 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,960 ups, and the Leaves are really good when Raley's not there. They're really 272 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,079 good when Matthews is not there. For some reason, I don't think it's 273 00:18:14,079 --> 00:18:18,279 anything on rally necessarily. I think he's just so stable. He's their main 274 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,200 defender for the Leafs. He's just solid, but he needs help, like 275 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,920 he needs a good partner. That's what we haven't really seen for Rally in 276 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,680 the last few seasons. He always ends up playing with players that are a 277 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,880 little bit on the decline or they're having enough year. So I'm pretty sure 278 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,799 they will try to get a solid defenseman to play with him on the first 279 00:18:37,839 --> 00:18:40,960 pair. They've been trying to do that trade deadline. It just didn't work 280 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,720 out. But I don't think we can expect anything different from Morgan Rally next 281 00:18:45,759 --> 00:18:48,559 season. He's just been constant and I think it's just the type of player 282 00:18:48,559 --> 00:18:51,960 he is, and if they find him a good partner, it's going to 283 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,079 get even better in terms of fantasy on the leafs. On the blue line, 284 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,559 there's no one really close to Riley in terms of point pace, but 285 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:03,160 Lulagren was the only one that was over halfway there, so I guess we'll 286 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,720 talk about him. He matched thing Lilogrand match his career high of twenty three 287 00:19:06,759 --> 00:19:08,680 points, but did it in eight fewer games. His time on ice was 288 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,680 the most of his career, went up from seventeen fifty five to nineteen forty, 289 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,799 and that was pretty significant. He also had the best expected goal differential 290 00:19:17,799 --> 00:19:21,440 of anyone who played as much as he did, though he did have the 291 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,400 worst course he against for sixty if any one on the team, so you 292 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,960 can see there that was pretty much all driven by the course he four, 293 00:19:27,079 --> 00:19:32,640 the offensive production, the shop share production there the worst Fenwick on among the 294 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,319 d during the playoffs minus twelve, second worst than the team next to Reeves. 295 00:19:36,759 --> 00:19:38,920 So that's not great, but there was some improvement and he's about to 296 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,720 go over the two hundred games played mark, which often is something that we 297 00:19:42,759 --> 00:19:47,519 look at as potential breakout. There when you look at his overall impact, 298 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,640 he seems to be pretty even in terms of offense defense in terms of his 299 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:55,240 underlying metrics from Evolving Hockey, which is interesting considering what I just referenced. 300 00:19:55,279 --> 00:19:57,200 So, Cindy, do you think there's a breakout potential here coming for Lilogrand? 301 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,279 And could he get over that forty five point Paig, It's hard to 302 00:20:00,319 --> 00:20:03,279 tell. The thing with the link ren is, first of all, his 303 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,039 name is in the trade rumor quite often. He's RFA now and it seems 304 00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:11,799 like the leaves are a little bit tired of waiting for him to get to 305 00:20:11,799 --> 00:20:15,240 the potential that they taught that he could reach. So there's a bit of 306 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,480 a maybe a rocky relationship there, and this season was supposed to be his 307 00:20:18,559 --> 00:20:22,640 big season to prove himself and establish himself and everything, and he got injured 308 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,279 and he did okay, but he got scratched a few times too, So 309 00:20:26,559 --> 00:20:30,880 it's it's weird with him. It's hard to it's hard to think about what's 310 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,680 going to be for next season because as of right now, we're not even 311 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:34,920 sure he's going to be in Toronto next season. So he's got a lot 312 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:40,160 of potential. He's a good defense defenseman, but because of injuries and because 313 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,359 of other player that took his spots, like it's really hard. It's really 314 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,319 hard to say on this one. I guess I'm not sure at all if 315 00:20:45,319 --> 00:20:49,039 he's going to be here next year. And it seems to be like he 316 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,240 was great. He was always great, but when Rasmus Sendin, his good 317 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:56,440 friend, got traded, it seemed like it affected him quite a bit. 318 00:20:56,039 --> 00:21:00,519 And that plus the injuries, it seems like we haven't seen the best Linigren 319 00:21:00,559 --> 00:21:03,079 yet. But he's been with the organization for so many years that I was 320 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:08,480 just wondering if they're going to pull the plug on him. Unfortunately, pick 321 00:21:08,519 --> 00:21:14,640 them on the blue line, Connor Timmins, Jake McCabe. Connor Timmins last 322 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,440 year not a whole lot of time, twenty five games and ten points. 323 00:21:18,799 --> 00:21:25,200 Jake McCabe played in seventy three and had twenty eight points. Which of these 324 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,799 two you think will have the better impact next year? I have to say 325 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:32,319 Jake McCabe. He's just solid. They're relying on him more, more and 326 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,680 more. And Connor Timmins, he had a really good stretch that he had 327 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,400 a lot of points, but same kind of thing. He got injured and 328 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,720 unfortunately couldn't get his spot back, and when he came back it was not 329 00:21:41,799 --> 00:21:45,440 good enough. You could tell he was behind. So they scratched him a 330 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,359 bunch. But McCabe is just solid. They see him as one of the 331 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:53,759 pillar for the blue line. So I would always pick mckabe over Timmins unfictionally. 332 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,839 And just one more question. Is John Klingberg going to be back for 333 00:21:59,839 --> 00:22:03,759 the team next year? City Probably not. He said he wanted to, 334 00:22:03,799 --> 00:22:07,680 He was open to coming back, but that experiment was a big fail. 335 00:22:07,839 --> 00:22:10,839 It just didn't work. He got injured, But even before the injury, 336 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,799 it just didn't click. He didn't fit well with the team and the fans 337 00:22:15,839 --> 00:22:18,359 were not very happy with him in the contract as well, so I'd be 338 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,240 very surprised to see him back, just because it really didn't work out and 339 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,119 he's probably going to get more money somewhere else. Moving over to the goal 340 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:33,200 he's The Maple Leafs were the sixteenth ranked expected goals per sixty and conceded actually 341 00:22:33,559 --> 00:22:37,480 exactly the sixteenth amount of actual goals per game. We know that the main 342 00:22:37,559 --> 00:22:42,279 players here are Samson Off Wall, Martin Jones actually had a fair role forty 343 00:22:42,319 --> 00:22:47,599 games for Samson Off, twenty five for Wall, twenty two for Martin Jones, 344 00:22:48,559 --> 00:22:52,319 and so sam sona played the most games and had the worst raw metrics 345 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:56,279 and underlying metrics. Wall was good, though he was oft injured, especially 346 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,440 when they needed him the most there at the end, which was un fortunate. 347 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,880 Joanes somehow had the best goalsave above expected at seven point sixty seven. 348 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,720 I still don't really understand that as of now, Wall is the only one 349 00:23:08,839 --> 00:23:14,839 signed for next season. They also have Matt Murray somehow cylinder contract, but 350 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,599 I don't know that he's a factor. So we've seen some really interesting numbers 351 00:23:18,599 --> 00:23:22,559 here while RFA next summer, Simpson off no contract. What is going to 352 00:23:22,599 --> 00:23:26,759 happen with the crease in Toronto? Are they going to bring someone in? 353 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,279 Are they going to let Wall take the role and maybe play fifty sixty games? 354 00:23:30,279 --> 00:23:33,599 What do you think is going to happen? So the goldending situation has 355 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,599 been weird for years with the Leafs. They always have someone in the farm 356 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,880 team that they have they really want that person to be the next number one, 357 00:23:41,079 --> 00:23:45,359 but it never pans out. Now it's Wall. He's great, but 358 00:23:45,799 --> 00:23:48,079 like you said, he's injured quite often. And even bradtre Living mentioned it 359 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,720 at the exit interviews that they love him. Nicky's great. You can see 360 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,599 that he's going to be a very good number one one day, but he 361 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,559 can't stay healthy, and that's that's starting to be a big concern for the 362 00:23:59,599 --> 00:24:03,559 Leafs. Now some soon of the chances of him coming back are very slim. 363 00:24:03,799 --> 00:24:07,640 True A Living made comments that would make us believe that there's not a 364 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,319 chance they're offering him an extension, and Samson of said he wanted more than 365 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,680 just a one year. He'd liked to be stable somewhere and get a few 366 00:24:15,759 --> 00:24:18,599 years, a contract for a few years. So I don't see that happening 367 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,400 at all. And then for Jones and Murray, it's weird because all the 368 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,680 guys, they all want to come back when when you look at the option, 369 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,599 Jones was great for the Leafs. He he really helped them with the 370 00:24:30,799 --> 00:24:34,599 kind of saved a little bit of this season. It could have been quite 371 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:40,240 ugly for the Leaves if Jones was not there to help when everybody else was 372 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,920 injured. And then Matt Murray's the same thing. But I don't think. 373 00:24:45,079 --> 00:24:48,039 I think the Leiefs are going to try to go get possibly a real number 374 00:24:48,039 --> 00:24:52,119 one or at least to do a one a one be with Wall, but 375 00:24:52,279 --> 00:24:55,319 I don't. It's hard to tell if Wall is going to be number one 376 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,279 when the season starts because it all depends on his health. And yeah, 377 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:00,759 it's a bit that's a bit weird. It's a weird one. They have 378 00:25:00,759 --> 00:25:06,279 another number one goalie since Frederick Anderson, so they need something like that. 379 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,480 But we'll see. They tried to get Jacob marks Strum and that the Flames 380 00:25:10,519 --> 00:25:14,359 preferred New Jersey's offers, so that didn't work out. But basically for now, 381 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,079 the number one spot is Joseph Walls to lose, So we'll see. 382 00:25:18,079 --> 00:25:22,480 How it depends out for us the summer. If they obviously we don't know 383 00:25:22,519 --> 00:25:25,720 who they're gonna get, but if they get so, if they bring someone 384 00:25:25,799 --> 00:25:30,480 in as you mentioned, obviously like a Markstrum, guy would have really tanked 385 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,680 Wall's value obviously because he would have, like Markstrom, would have been the 386 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,200 for sure starter. Do you think it's more likely with Mark Trum off the 387 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,119 board now that we get someone more like Markstrum or someone who will see more 388 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,079 starts to Wall. I guess what I'm what I'm asking is how likely do 389 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:49,240 you think it is that we'll get forty to fifty starts as opposed to fewer? 390 00:25:49,759 --> 00:25:52,480 Yeah, I think it depends on what their next move is. So 391 00:25:52,519 --> 00:25:56,160 we know that they tried to get Mark Strum it didn't work. So if 392 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,559 they tried to get him, that means they want to get a number one. 393 00:25:59,599 --> 00:26:03,240 So I would be surprised to see them try to get Cerro's from Nashville. 394 00:26:03,799 --> 00:26:07,319 If this doesn't work, then they're probably looking at a guy like Laham 395 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,200 Rossoir who was with the Jets. Apparently there's interest with the Leaves in him, 396 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,920 and you would like to come that what makes it more like attendem instead 397 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,079 of a true number one. I think wall is most likely going to be 398 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,920 the goalie for Game one. But it's a tough one, yeah for sure, 399 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,039 tough. You trade for sorrows, you're gonna end up having to pay 400 00:26:25,079 --> 00:26:29,960 sorrows. That's the problem with all the good players. Is there expensive anyway? 401 00:26:30,279 --> 00:26:33,680 Cindy, this has been some great stuff talking maple leaves. Why don't 402 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:38,400 you let people know how they can follow all your work? That's Twitter. 403 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,079 I think it's the best place to follow people. Just c I n c 404 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:47,000 ar o and but yeah, I post up on Twitter quite a bit. 405 00:26:47,319 --> 00:26:51,119 I apologize for people. There's a lot of French content because I'm French Canadian 406 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,440 and works for a French paper. But yeah, it's it's just social and 407 00:26:53,559 --> 00:26:57,880 that's pretty much it for mendus. Thanks so much for being with us today, 408 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:02,559 Cindy and talking leaves. My pleasure. Thanks for having me, Thank 409 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:11,119 you, Wil Since then, that's good fire fat, Oh my goodness, 410 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:21,279 long a gram. Now it's your wingler goalie talk. But Kat Silverman, 411 00:27:21,799 --> 00:27:25,920 Kat's Instincts. Time once again for Katz Instincts. With Kat Silverman and n 412 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:32,960 gold mag we're talking maple leafs goalies that means we're starting with Artur Aktiamof twenty 413 00:27:33,039 --> 00:27:37,079 twenty fourth round pick by Toronto, sixty one and eighty sixty eight pounds. 414 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,000 He's now twenty two years old, had another great season in Russia. Last 415 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,519 season he finally got seventeen KHL games and was great. Last year. You 416 00:27:45,559 --> 00:27:48,440 had mentioned that you thought he was great, though a bit undersized, and 417 00:27:48,519 --> 00:27:52,680 we agreed that he was already better than Martin Jones, which at lowbar. 418 00:27:52,559 --> 00:27:56,079 The plan for him is to be in the HL this season. It sounds 419 00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:00,200 his equivalency has hovered in the high forties, low fifties, and he's up 420 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:04,119 to fifty three percent. Got some really good comps. One of them that 421 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:10,279 might be appropriate is Thattridenko. Obviously, he's looking pretty good in the NHL 422 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:11,559 right now, Okay, what do your instinct tell us about Aktyamov? Now, 423 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:18,480 Thattrick Dunko, who's that guy? I still love Aktaamov. I stand 424 00:28:18,519 --> 00:28:21,839 by what I said. I think he looks better than Martin Jones already. 425 00:28:22,039 --> 00:28:30,160 I had a lot of fun watching some of his highlights because he is spicy. 426 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,319 He is a little on the undersized side of things. He's listed at 427 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:40,680 six to one and one hundred and sixty eight pounds, which is like the 428 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:45,200 size of the average moderately athletic human, but is not quite the same as 429 00:28:45,279 --> 00:28:48,640 a six foot eight, two hundred and twenty five pound goaltender, which is 430 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:56,079 what some other teams have in their system. And he is not afraid to 431 00:28:56,559 --> 00:29:00,279 get a little scrappy to control and defend his space. He does a good 432 00:29:00,319 --> 00:29:04,319 job of staying fairly conservative with his depths. He's really good at reading the 433 00:29:04,359 --> 00:29:08,680 play and if it seems like people are getting a little too aggressive in terms 434 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,160 of trying to box him out and screen him. He actually got a slashing 435 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:18,880 penalty during one of the games in the VHL playoffs this year, and I 436 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:26,359 appreciate seeing that from a goaltender who really needs to defend their space and can 437 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:33,440 easily get boxed out. I'm curious to see how well he does once he 438 00:29:33,519 --> 00:29:37,319 moves to the AHL, because we always talk about how there are a couple 439 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:42,880 AHL teams that the atmosphere in the arena their games and the pressure that's put 440 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:48,400 on their minor league team is comparable to some NHL teams, and that is 441 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,839 for sure, the Toronto Marleys. So once he's in the AHL, he's 442 00:29:52,839 --> 00:29:56,720 not necessarily going to be given a free pass if he has a rough start, 443 00:29:56,799 --> 00:30:00,200 and he's going to be watched really aggressively because the Leafs don't have have 444 00:30:00,559 --> 00:30:06,720 a ton of clear cut long term star talent at the NHL level in that 445 00:30:07,599 --> 00:30:11,119 although Joseph wall is doing his best to to finally claim his throne there, 446 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:17,200 in a perfect world, we don't see Acdaiamov at the NHL level for at 447 00:30:17,279 --> 00:30:21,799 least a year. But the way that Leaf's goal tending has been going, 448 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,960 I feel like we're gonna end up seeing him for ten games next year and 449 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,440 I don't want that, but we'll see how it goes. Sometimes it can't 450 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,640 help themselves, all right, Let's talk about the next one. Keith Petrozelli 451 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,599 six't six hundred and ninety pounds now twenty five years old, had a 452 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,119 bit of a regression last year in the HL. Has expected goals per goal 453 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,640 conceded went from one point thirty seven to point nine to three. His hockey 454 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:52,839 prospecting has waivered from thirties to forties now down to thirty percent. Looks a 455 00:30:52,839 --> 00:30:56,960 little bit like Sam Montembo, who is listed as a replacement level starter in 456 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,480 the system. But we know he's having a bit of a resurgence now in 457 00:31:00,519 --> 00:31:03,640 the NHL, but it took a very long time for that to materialize from 458 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:11,319 Montembo. Anyways, Petrozelli interesting guy here, interesting trajectory that he has had, 459 00:31:11,799 --> 00:31:14,680 and he's been in the system now for a couple of years. What 460 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:19,640 are your thoughts on him? He's a tricky one because I actually knew his 461 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:26,000 collegiate coach and I talked with him a little bit about what Petrozelli's development was 462 00:31:26,039 --> 00:31:30,839 looking like. And he's a guy who had a lot of raw talent. 463 00:31:30,079 --> 00:31:36,680 I'd love to see what would happen if he worked with had him Francilia during 464 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:41,480 this offseason, because he is all limbs, and you can tell when he 465 00:31:41,559 --> 00:31:47,359 is off his game because he reminds me a little bit of Matt Murray and 466 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:52,000 that his game will from a tracking perspective, he gets a little bit off 467 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:59,400 and his movement is not nearly efficient enough to suppress that and cover for that. 468 00:31:59,759 --> 00:32:04,720 So when he starts getting off on his tracking, he moves a little 469 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:10,160 too much. His spatial awareness becomes a little less efficient. And I remember 470 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:15,519 I watched one game for him in the NCAA against Arizona State, and I 471 00:32:15,599 --> 00:32:20,440 was at the game and I had to double check a couple times to make 472 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,319 sure that he was the goaltender who was in net, because I kept thinking 473 00:32:24,319 --> 00:32:28,599 to myself, this isn't an NHL prospect. This is clearly their third string 474 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,920 guy that they put in for a game just to throw them a bone. 475 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,920 And it wasn't. It was Petro Dellie, and I was really horrified by 476 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:37,880 that. I do think that from a skating perspective, he is really fast, 477 00:32:38,079 --> 00:32:42,599 and he is good at getting across the crease with a ton of speed 478 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,680 and then stopping. He doesn't really over overslide a ton, so he doesn't 479 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:51,559 over commit. He just sometimes his reads are really off and his angles get 480 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,240 really strange. And maybe he can commiserate with Martin Jones and they can talk 481 00:32:55,279 --> 00:33:00,519 about that together and he can tighten up his game physically. But right now 482 00:33:00,559 --> 00:33:05,279 I don't have him in terms of the leaf steps chart. I have him 483 00:33:05,279 --> 00:33:09,720 as a minor leaguer, and it'll be nice to see him if he's able 484 00:33:09,759 --> 00:33:15,640 to improve that like Montambeaux who really took his game and almost reshaped it from 485 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:20,960 the ground up, and I do think that it helps that Petroselli has lost 486 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:28,319 a lot of his draft stock and lost a lot of his potential NHL expectations. 487 00:33:28,519 --> 00:33:30,759 He really doesn't have a lot to lose by stripping his game and recreating 488 00:33:30,799 --> 00:33:36,359 it. But as of right now, love his game. I'd like to 489 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:37,920 love his game because he seems really nice, but I don't love his game, 490 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,799 beir, but honest I love it. So let's move on to the 491 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,839 last guy here, and that is Dennis Hildebye, the hilde Beast as he's 492 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:50,240 known. Twenty twenty two fourth round pick, six foot seven two twenty three 493 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:54,519 pounds, turns twenty three this season, and it was his first AHL season, 494 00:33:54,519 --> 00:33:59,720 and it went I would say pretty well. He's been in Sweden before 495 00:33:59,759 --> 00:34:04,000 that, playing in a couple different levels. Definitely had some SHL action, 496 00:34:04,119 --> 00:34:07,800 also some J twenty and super elite time in there, and got a little 497 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,360 taste of the HL last season. It didn't go quite as well, but 498 00:34:10,559 --> 00:34:15,760 had some pretty strong stints this season. His equivalency was in the high twenties 499 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:21,199 until it shot up this season with that really strong HL performance up to forty 500 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,840 nine percent. So that trajectory looks a little bit like Darcy Kemper who's a 501 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,960 big similar size, not quite as big I would say Hilleby I think has 502 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,360 an int or two on him. Anyways, should Toronto fans be as excited 503 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,840 as they are about the hilde beast Cat? What are your instincts to tell 504 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:42,239 you? That's a really interesting comparable Darcy Kemper, because there's a similar playing 505 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,719 style there. Actually, I have, for better for worse, seen a 506 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:52,039 lot of Darcy Kemper's games, like almost too many, and he's a guy 507 00:34:52,079 --> 00:34:59,239 who every analysis I had to give of his game was that from a size 508 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,960 perspective, he needed to play a really conservative, controlled game, and so 509 00:35:04,079 --> 00:35:08,039 physically he was a big goaltender, but mentally he was an Alex staylock and 510 00:35:08,079 --> 00:35:14,119 he really wanted to just be free. And so it was like watching him 511 00:35:14,159 --> 00:35:17,360 war with himself in terms of staying conservative and staying on his goal line, 512 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:22,599 really not moving up a ton of challenge, not going down to his knees 513 00:35:22,639 --> 00:35:28,840 as often, not falling forward to cover the puck. And that's how hill 514 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,480 to Be plays. Honestly, watching him play, he looks like he is 515 00:35:32,519 --> 00:35:39,039 having to physically contain himself in order to stay playing this more controlled, contained, 516 00:35:39,079 --> 00:35:44,719 conservative game that his size really necessitates because at six six two thirty four, 517 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:46,800 he can't be playing super far out of his crease. He doesn't have 518 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:52,880 the super quick agility to get back there without running the risk of injuring himself, 519 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,000 which unfortunately is what we've seen from Darcy Kemper in the past. You 520 00:35:55,079 --> 00:35:59,920 can tell when his game is getting a little too free wheeling because he doesn't 521 00:36:00,079 --> 00:36:02,599 up with these little tweaks, these little bumps and bruises and injuries. I 522 00:36:02,639 --> 00:36:07,280 think Mike Smith is another one of those who really wants to be free and 523 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:13,480 wants to rock and roll and should be playing the most boring structured game. 524 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,679 And that's what hill Deby wants to do too, just based on the way 525 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:21,599 he's playing. So we'll see how that goes. I think that's a really 526 00:36:21,639 --> 00:36:25,960 interesting playing style for a goaltender to have behind the Toronto Maple Leafs and their 527 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,840 system, because they're another team that kind of like the Chicago Blackhawks, likes 528 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:36,079 to keep their coaches on the same page from the top to the bottom, 529 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:40,320 and so they try to keep their goaltending coaching style consistent, their coaching style 530 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:44,920 consistent. Their coaches are in constant communication. I mean they're in the same 531 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:50,679 city, so they're able to watch their prospect really closely. So it's not 532 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,639 like his game style will lend itself really well to the Marleies and then not 533 00:36:54,719 --> 00:37:00,639 to the Leafs, So it'll be fun to see how that goes within the 534 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:06,000 leaf system. I think it could become an injury prone style, but I 535 00:37:06,119 --> 00:37:09,960 like his game a lot more than I like petriz Ellie's no offense to petriz 536 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:14,440 Ellie's catching all the strays for me today, I'm so sorry, but I 537 00:37:14,519 --> 00:37:16,440 like the hill de Beest. I think he's fun. I just I watch 538 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:23,000 him play and I'm almost expecting to see something get tweaked somewhere in there if 539 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:28,239 he really hits Goblin mode, essentially, because he the way he plays looks 540 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,519 like he's just constantly ready to just throw it all out the window and go 541 00:37:31,679 --> 00:37:35,320 Marc Andre Fleury on us. That'll be a lot of fun for Leafs fans, 542 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:39,920 though they I don't want to say they deserve some fun in their lives, 543 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:46,440 but they it's fun when they get to see some reliable, exciting goaltending, 544 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:53,880 because Martin Jones and Matt Murray are not necessarily reliable exciting goaltending, so 545 00:37:54,159 --> 00:38:00,440 that's awesome ending on Martin Jones and Matt Murray. Things that are looking up 546 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:04,880 Toronto. Thanks so much, CAF forgiving your instincts on the maple Leaf Coollies. 547 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:25,159 We'll be back right after this Digs the Dynasty Dig the Toronto Maple Leaves 548 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:30,039 edition. We got a hot take on the Maple Leafs. Their system is, 549 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,719 oh no, absolutely right in the middle. That's the worst possible hot 550 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,960 take is to say that something is right in the middle. And it starts 551 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,719 out with the no brainer. Who is the Toronto Maple Leafs no brainer prospect? 552 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:45,159 Victor? What's their most recent first round draft pick? Easton Cowen twenty 553 00:38:45,159 --> 00:38:49,360 twenty three to twenty eighth overall pick. We were there at the draft. 554 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,039 I was at the draft when they made this pick. We were all pretty 555 00:38:52,039 --> 00:38:57,039 surprised, except some of the Ohl scouts that turn their head sideways a dog 556 00:38:57,079 --> 00:39:00,559 hearing an interesting noise and being like, yeah, that makes sense. And 557 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,440 he proved those people right. Five to eleven hundred and eighty five pound left 558 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,559 shot center, left wing. He had a really dramatic increase in his points 559 00:39:07,599 --> 00:39:10,760 this season playing for the London Knights. He went from fifty three points in 560 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:16,840 sixty eight games to ninety six points in fifty four games and almost hit the 561 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,079 two points per game in the playoffs. He was awesome. He really had 562 00:39:21,119 --> 00:39:27,199 a massive point uptick there. He won the OHL title with London and was 563 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,280 pretty good in the Memorial Cup as well. Unfortunately they fell just short to 564 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:36,760 Saginaw, but he was awesome. Looking at his FHL player card this season, 565 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,800 he really increased his defense from last year. His defensive metrics went from 566 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:45,199 thirty two to seventy three, and he upped the offense and transition game to 567 00:39:45,679 --> 00:39:50,199 basically just about as good as anyone in the league ninety eight and ninety ninth 568 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:54,880 percentile overall. Really fantastic stuff. Massive impact on the game, game score, 569 00:39:55,440 --> 00:40:00,360 expected goals, assists, all of that, his transition games great. 570 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,760 That's pretty great to see. Looking at his World Junior card, it's also 571 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,199 pretty great. Small sample size, but that was also he was definitely one 572 00:40:07,199 --> 00:40:12,000 of the better players there for Canada. Looking at his FHL player card for 573 00:40:12,199 --> 00:40:16,000 London, his goals and assists basically no one better in the league. His 574 00:40:16,079 --> 00:40:20,800 shots are pretty strong, his hits and blocks are average, so he should 575 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,920 be a bit above average for bash. Not amazing he actually has a bit 576 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:28,639 more penalty minutes, which is negative in our system. So if you like 577 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:30,880 that, then that's good. Looking at some of his advanced metrics, it's 578 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:36,639 all pretty awesome. His play driving, transition game, high danger chances, 579 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,559 and pucked work, all that looks pretty fantastic. But we need to learn 580 00:40:39,639 --> 00:40:43,760 a little bit more about Eastern Cowen and to do that we'll hear from our 581 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:50,599 FHL scout very good and our FAHL scout today for the Toronto Maple Leafs is 582 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:54,599 Craig. Here's the deal on Eastern Kowen. Skating is above average. He's 583 00:40:54,679 --> 00:40:59,800 able to hit the puck with speed and Cowan is able to use his edges 584 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:04,239 to elude defenders. He has top end speed to break away from defenders and 585 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,280 win the puck races. Passing or in handling, Kawen is above average. 586 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:12,599 Always seems to be one step ahead and able to find an open teammate or 587 00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,480 make a quick one touch pass that creates an offensive rush. On shooting, 588 00:41:16,599 --> 00:41:21,159 Kawen loves to shoot, snapping the puck toward the net whenever he is in 589 00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,400 the offensive zone. He has an average shot, but he is not the 590 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:27,239 go to shooter in the power play. That being said, when the puck 591 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,880 does come to him, he's able to beat goalies with a quick one timer. 592 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:36,400 IQ average to above average is Kalen. Cowen's passing in tight coverage shows 593 00:41:36,519 --> 00:41:39,440 very little panic. However, being a skilled player, he also makes more 594 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:45,400 mistakes than the average player. The majority of careless turnovers that Craig saw were 595 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,599 early in the season, and it did seem like Kallen improved as the season 596 00:41:49,639 --> 00:41:52,760 went along more checking average. He's not going to be the hard four checker 597 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:57,920 chasing down defenders, but he sure is great at getting in passing lanes and 598 00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:02,440 causing turnovers. When the opportunity or a hit presents itself, Cowen will take 599 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:07,320 it, especially late in games and down by a few goals. And Craig 600 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:12,000 watched a game live against Sarnia and as the score got further apart, you 601 00:42:12,039 --> 00:42:15,440 could see his demeanor change and it got chippier and chipier until he finally dropped 602 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:21,159 the gloves defense average. Being a winger, he sure is active and covers 603 00:42:21,199 --> 00:42:23,320 well in his own end. He is a great penalty killer, getting in 604 00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:28,880 the lanes and not afraid to block shots. Cowen's best asset is his shifting 605 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,480 us that is eluding defenders finding an open teammate, and the biggest concern Craig 606 00:42:32,519 --> 00:42:37,400 has is him being able to do this at the next level with more skillful 607 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,480 and faster defenders. Greater than think this will entirely be an issue. Just 608 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:45,559 might have to refine and play a safer game. Top tier outcome for Eastern 609 00:42:45,599 --> 00:42:51,000 Cowen sixty five to seventy five points with a top six outcome, that would 610 00:42:51,079 --> 00:42:54,079 be if he's showing he has the moves and passing ability to fit into that 611 00:42:54,199 --> 00:42:58,199 role. With an average shot, he'll be able to finish off a few 612 00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:02,440 goals as well. The median outcome for Cowen fifty five to sixty five points, 613 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:07,400 still a little bit lower, maybe in the top six. His style 614 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,760 of play isn't suitable for a bottom six role, so that's where Craig thinks 615 00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:15,119 it's still a top six even if it's the median outcome, because that's where 616 00:43:15,119 --> 00:43:20,039 he's going to have to play to succeed. Stylistic comparable, he's a Mitch 617 00:43:20,119 --> 00:43:24,480 Marner light with his shiftingess and smooth passing ability in addition to him causing turnovers 618 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:30,360 by shifting the lanes of oncoming passes. And fearless ability on the penalty kill. 619 00:43:30,679 --> 00:43:35,119 With that said, Craig doesn't expect the points Marner puts up. Obviously, 620 00:43:35,199 --> 00:43:38,039 Cowen plays more of a game to the outer edges, unlike Marner finding 621 00:43:38,159 --> 00:43:43,639 open space in the center. So the leaf should be happy with their first 622 00:43:43,679 --> 00:43:45,320 round pick. Looks like he can be contributing to the team in the next 623 00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:49,639 two to three years. Boy, how the tides have turned. We gave 624 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:53,480 the Leafs a beating last offseason for that Easton Cowen pick. He came up 625 00:43:53,519 --> 00:43:58,239 in every one of our overrated talks I think after the draft, and now 626 00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,039 he's the top prospect of this team. Let's take Easton Kawen and comp him 627 00:44:01,039 --> 00:44:05,920 against another guy from last year's draft who had a little bit more buzz even 628 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:10,880 though he was drafted later, Andrew Christal of the Washington Capitals. The people 629 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:17,000 have spoken, and Cowen narrowly edges out Christall fifty one to forty nine percent 630 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:22,320 in the Mason Black NHL Rankking Hole Victor. Is that how you rank him? 631 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:24,639 Yeah? I think so. There's a couple of things going for Kawen 632 00:44:24,679 --> 00:44:29,239 here. In one, he plays for one of the most popular teams in 633 00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,559 the league, so you can always find yourself a trade partner, a suitor. 634 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:37,679 Not that's the reason to draft somebody or to hold somebody res rights. 635 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:42,639 But I do think that he's a first rounder and he plays on a really 636 00:44:42,679 --> 00:44:45,280 good team. I think he has a really good chance, as Craig said, 637 00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,159 to be more of a middle to top six player. I think he 638 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:52,480 has a skill and he has the two way responsibility to do that. The 639 00:44:52,639 --> 00:44:57,639 questions with Christaal have always been not about his talent, but about his ability 640 00:44:57,679 --> 00:45:04,119 to be an all around player, because he really excels offensively, but he 641 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,239 needs to fit a certain role and he can be a bit of a liability 642 00:45:08,039 --> 00:45:13,039 on both ends. It'll be interesting to see how he progresses and how that 643 00:45:13,079 --> 00:45:15,599 works. But that's not going to be a question for Cowen. Maybe the 644 00:45:15,639 --> 00:45:20,239 offensive upside isn't as high, but the security is much higher in terms of 645 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,239 him being an NHL or I think that I would probably take that, maybe 646 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:27,199 give up a little bit of that upside that Christall has, and have a 647 00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:30,840 little bit more security. Although I could understand why a lot of people voting 648 00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:36,760 for Crystal because the gaudy points, totals and upsides are just they're enticing they're 649 00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,559 enticing, But I think Cowen did a lot to prove people wrong and show 650 00:45:39,599 --> 00:45:44,960 that he is a little bit better than they thought. So I think that 651 00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:46,840 that makes a lot of sense. So yeah, I would stick with Cowen 652 00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:51,840 here. Looking at the hockey prospecting between these two, it is interesting. 653 00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,599 Cowen has increased up to twenty percent, so still a little bit lower, 654 00:45:54,599 --> 00:46:00,360 but increasing your draft or your equivalency and your deep plus one years always and 655 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:04,440 he went up almost by three times the amount, so that's pretty dramatic. 656 00:46:04,679 --> 00:46:08,960 He increased his NHLer probably to fifty two percent. Krystaal lowered his equivalency just 657 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:13,559 a little bit, even though he had another massive points season one hundred and 658 00:46:13,559 --> 00:46:19,360 eleven points of sixty two games for Kolonna. He has a fifty four chance 659 00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:22,679 percent chance of being a star and seventy one percent chance of being an NHLer, 660 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:24,440 so he looks like it. But as I said, there's still some 661 00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:28,920 other some questions about his all around game that I think need to be answered 662 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:35,000 before we get too excited about Kristal. Looking at the other comps run Cowen, 663 00:46:35,519 --> 00:46:40,239 there's some interesting ones here. One is Burret, not that Burret, 664 00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:44,840 it's Valeri Burret. Unfortunately that's maybe not as exciting. He was more of 665 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,400 an average producer. In fact, a lot of his comps are just kind 666 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:52,079 of a replacement level to average. I think people need to maybe lower their 667 00:46:52,079 --> 00:46:55,440 expectations a little bit. But I do think that if you have Cawen and 668 00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:59,760 you look at his awesome production, you might see what you can get if 669 00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:05,679 you can get a better prospect, because I think it's probably best to trade 670 00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:08,039 him when the iron's hot, because I don't think even though there's talk of 671 00:47:08,119 --> 00:47:12,360 Mitch Marner comparison, and Craig even said, I don't think the points upside 672 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,280 is quite to that level, so you're probably you know, I know the 673 00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:20,039 PNHL here is listed as eighty, but I don't think he's going to hit 674 00:47:20,119 --> 00:47:22,599 quite that. I think he's probably more of a sixty fifty five to sixty 675 00:47:22,639 --> 00:47:25,079 five ish point player, depending on his role, especially if he's more of 676 00:47:25,079 --> 00:47:29,199 a middle six guy. So yeah, if someone will give you more of 677 00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,519 a top twenty prospect for the for eest in Cowen, then I would take 678 00:47:31,559 --> 00:47:38,159 that. Jesse no word on whether the Valerie Bret comp would extend to marrying 679 00:47:38,159 --> 00:47:43,079 a famous American actress, but to mister Collen. We'll see what how that 680 00:47:43,159 --> 00:47:45,599 works out. For him. Next up, Victor, we have the need 681 00:47:45,639 --> 00:47:50,159 to know prospect. Who is it? Yeah, that would be Fraser Minton. 682 00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:52,760 So he was the twenty twenty two to thirty eighth overall pick six two 683 00:47:53,199 --> 00:47:57,159 and ninety four pounds left shot center. He was just under a point per 684 00:47:57,159 --> 00:48:00,039 game in his draft season for the kam Lukes Blazers of the WHL D plus 685 00:48:00,159 --> 00:48:05,119 one, he had sixty seven points of fifty seven games for Kamloops and then 686 00:48:05,159 --> 00:48:07,559 this season D plus two, he had a four game trial with the Maple 687 00:48:07,599 --> 00:48:10,440 Leafs. Then he went back to Camloops for ten games before he was traded 688 00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:14,760 to the Saskatoon Blades for the playoff aspirations, and it worked out pretty well. 689 00:48:15,119 --> 00:48:19,159 Fourteen points in sixteen games for Saskatoon in the playoffs, who gave the 690 00:48:19,199 --> 00:48:23,079 Moosjah Warriors the WHL champs their toughest challenge in the entire WHL, So that 691 00:48:23,159 --> 00:48:29,280 was pretty good. And he kept in that underwhelming Canada team at the U 692 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,079 twenty World Junior Championships, so that was a bit disappointing for him and for 693 00:48:32,159 --> 00:48:37,559 Canada, but he's still a strong prospect. Looking at the tracking data for 694 00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:43,920 Minton, it's interesting his early tracking data looked poor except for his defensive impact 695 00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:49,000 early on in the WHL. Then last season it looked a little bit better, 696 00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,719 but still his transition game was good, his offense was only a fifty 697 00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:58,159 three percent and Mitch didn't have one for this season. But his World Junior 698 00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:01,599 tracking data was really not so good. Defensively pretty good, but transitional pretty 699 00:49:01,639 --> 00:49:05,920 bad and his offense was just sixty three percent. That was a bit disappointing 700 00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:09,599 for Minton obviously. And looking at his FHL player card, we can see 701 00:49:09,639 --> 00:49:13,920 that his goals were a nine out of ten, is assists eight out of 702 00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,679 ten, his shots are really high ten out of ten hits, and blocks 703 00:49:16,679 --> 00:49:21,320 also really good. So this is a guy Minton with a strong preferrale floor 704 00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:25,599 and there's also some pretty good decent points upside there. His advanced stats in 705 00:49:25,639 --> 00:49:30,119 the WHL look really strong too, really good play driver, really good puckwork 706 00:49:30,599 --> 00:49:36,480 and also good in the getting the puck to the high danger zones and strong 707 00:49:36,519 --> 00:49:38,639 faceoff guy as well. Takes a lot of face offs and does well with 708 00:49:38,679 --> 00:49:43,280 that. But let's hear a little bit more about Minton from our FHL scout 709 00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,760 and Craig has this to say about Fraser. Minton skating above average shows how 710 00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:52,840 fast he is by pulling it away from back checkers or taking defenders wide. 711 00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:57,960 The passing and handling is elite. Fraser is able to draw defenders in making 712 00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,239 no look past to the open teammate. A few times it looked like he 713 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:04,880 missed his pass to the streaming winger, but rewatching the play. Craig's thinking 714 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:08,400 now is he starts playing better with better players, they'll be able to catch 715 00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:12,599 and be prepared for what's coming. Craig didn't see it too often, but 716 00:50:12,639 --> 00:50:15,559 did notice that when Minton was one on one for the defender, he was 717 00:50:15,599 --> 00:50:21,119 able to make a skilled move and create a scoring chance and shooting beverage nothing 718 00:50:21,159 --> 00:50:23,519 flashy, but he could snap it quick when needed. He loves to shoot, 719 00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:29,639 and Minton is also in low danger scoring areas, so maybe that shot 720 00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,159 not maximized there. Don't think this will be a strong suit, but when 721 00:50:32,159 --> 00:50:37,000 he makes the jump to the next level, that won't necessarily be a strong 722 00:50:37,039 --> 00:50:42,719 suit. In IQ above two elite IQ for Minton very low panic. Meter 723 00:50:43,199 --> 00:50:46,719 takes his time with heads up to survey his options, uses quick cuts to 724 00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:52,280 evade and create time and space for himself. You can tell he really understands 725 00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:55,800 the game by the way he directs his teammates verbally and points in the direction 726 00:50:55,920 --> 00:51:00,719 he wants him to cover. Is for checking his average. He's not afraid 727 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:04,320 of playing the body, but he's smart about it. Fraser doesn't go looking 728 00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:07,679 for the big hit, but he will take the hit if it helps to 729 00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:12,639 cause a turnover. On defense, it's above average. He rarely finds himself 730 00:51:12,679 --> 00:51:15,159 out of position, and Mitton is strong on the face off tot. When 731 00:51:15,159 --> 00:51:19,880 he causes turnovers in his defensive zone, he's able to slow it down and 732 00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:23,800 start the breakout. The best asset then was his defensive play. Coaches are 733 00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:28,639 gonna love it. Responsible with the puck and once he's in the attacking zone, 734 00:51:28,679 --> 00:51:32,639 he's able to create chances without being a liability defensively. And the biggest 735 00:51:32,679 --> 00:51:37,960 concern is he taps out as a third line center. I don't have any 736 00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:42,400 doubt he makes the NHL or Craig doesn't anyway with that defensive play, but 737 00:51:42,519 --> 00:51:46,800 worries coaches will stick him in a checking role because of that physicality. The 738 00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:52,880 top tier outcome would be Tier two second line center on a second division team, 739 00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:57,639 perhaps with sixty to seventy points. That's because he has the ability to 740 00:51:57,679 --> 00:52:00,480 make it as a playmaker racking up forty assists as long as he is given 741 00:52:00,519 --> 00:52:07,199 a deployment in that top six. The median outcome tier three third line the 742 00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:13,559 center that is defense first and a forty point type guy. The justification there 743 00:52:13,599 --> 00:52:17,039 his defensive game is so strong coaches will probably slot him to shut down other 744 00:52:17,119 --> 00:52:22,440 lines. He doesn't have the offensive game to force coaches hand into giving him 745 00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:27,840 the top six opportunity. The stylistic comparable is Philip Deo, defense first, 746 00:52:28,199 --> 00:52:30,280 able to put up points if he's given the right line mates an opportunity, 747 00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:36,719 that'd be a pretty good outcome. And Craig and Some says Fraser he's certain 748 00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:40,679 will make an NHL team, but he's not overexcited for the points he's going 749 00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:46,719 to add to fantasy teams. Mason Black sent out the NHL ranking poll for 750 00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:53,840 the public. Fraser Minton versus Esac Rosen of the Buffalo Sabers and Rosen in 751 00:52:53,880 --> 00:53:00,360 a landslide sixty one to thirty nine over Fraser Minton. Is that how you 752 00:53:00,639 --> 00:53:06,039 rank in rack and stack pictor. No, I do not, sorry to 753 00:53:06,079 --> 00:53:12,119 say, I don't really have that much faith in Rosenne. I think it's 754 00:53:12,119 --> 00:53:15,519 interesting to look at these two. So Rosen was a twenty twenty one for 755 00:53:15,639 --> 00:53:21,880 Trump pick fourteenth overall, and he was in Sweden for a long time, 756 00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:27,840 came over last season and this is the second season in the AHL. He 757 00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,719 had a fifty points in sixty seven games, which is probably what a lot 758 00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:34,719 of people are focusing on. And of course that looks pretty good, but 759 00:53:35,639 --> 00:53:38,679 I don't know. I just really don't believe in Rosen's ability to translate his 760 00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:43,400 game. There's a couple of issues here. He's so one thing, well, 761 00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:47,480 for one thing, he's he's he doesn't necessarily I don't think drive play 762 00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:51,039 all that. When I was looking some of his underlying metrics, and they're 763 00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:54,440 quite poor actually in terms of him getting to the high danger areas and play 764 00:53:54,519 --> 00:53:59,519 driving. So I would be very worried about that. I know that looks 765 00:53:59,559 --> 00:54:02,039 like a really strong production, but I'm just not convinced that he's going to 766 00:54:02,039 --> 00:54:06,239 be able to translate to that to the NHL. Of course, on the 767 00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:09,719 other hand, I'm not very I'm with Craig, I'm not convinced that Minton 768 00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:13,920 is going to be any sort of high point producer in the NHL. But 769 00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,880 I do think he's more likely to be a steady NHLer because he does a 770 00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:22,239 lot more away from the puck, where Resent is someone who doesn't really do 771 00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:23,880 much away from the puck, and he's someone who needs to be in a 772 00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:29,079 very specific role. So I think I would probably take Minton here just because 773 00:54:29,079 --> 00:54:31,840 I think he's more likely to be a middle six forward who you know, 774 00:54:32,039 --> 00:54:35,039 like you said, if he ends up being to know, that's not the 775 00:54:35,039 --> 00:54:38,320 most exciting fantasy outcome, but at least he's in NHL or so if you're 776 00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:42,880 thinking about that. But otherwise, I think both and neither of these guys 777 00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:46,320 have super high points upside. So in my HL player card, I have 778 00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:50,920 Rosenna as a four out of ten in terms of fifth points upside, whereas 779 00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:54,119 Minton is a six. So that gives you some idea of how excited I 780 00:54:54,159 --> 00:54:57,599 am about both these guys. Not much for either, but a little bit 781 00:54:57,679 --> 00:55:00,960 more for Minton. Looking at the hockey prospect between these two, Minton has 782 00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:06,159 Minton has a two percent chance of being a star. That's gone down for 783 00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:08,320 fifteen from his draft season, thirty nine percent chance of being an NHL or. 784 00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:13,280 Rosen has been zero percent for the last three years, so it's been 785 00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:16,320 pretty dire for him and some of his other comps for Minton. I know 786 00:55:16,639 --> 00:55:21,440 Craig mentioned Dano, which I think is reasonable. David Bachus is another one 787 00:55:21,519 --> 00:55:25,320 who shows up on here that could be reasonable. We mentioned Zach LaRue in 788 00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:30,119 a different show. That's someone who shows up, Tommy Novak, Tyler Johnson 789 00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:34,880 maybe more like that ILK And we should mention the FHL player card six percent 790 00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:38,000 chance of being a star, thirty nine percent chance of being an NHLer very 791 00:55:38,039 --> 00:55:44,360 good victor. Who is your keeping on prospect for the Leaves keep your eye 792 00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:49,599 on is Topi Niamella. He's a twenty twenty third round pick, six foot 793 00:55:49,599 --> 00:55:52,280 one hundred and seventy nine pounds right handed d The now twenty two year old 794 00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:58,960 just played his first full season in North America after several in Carpot Finland and 795 00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:02,079 after two points in six AHL games last season, he scored thirty nine points 796 00:56:02,119 --> 00:56:07,440 in sixty eight games for the Toronto Marleys. That's pretty strong production and nice 797 00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:10,280 to see him over in North America already having a little bit more proximity to 798 00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:15,960 the NHL. It's always really nice. So yeah, Looking at his FHL 799 00:56:15,039 --> 00:56:19,039 player card, you can see that his assists are really high for the league. 800 00:56:19,079 --> 00:56:22,239 His goals are actually pretty high too. He doesn't really hit, shot, 801 00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:27,000 shoot, or block that much, which is the unfortunate thing with Niamella. 802 00:56:27,119 --> 00:56:29,679 His bash is going to be pretty low. He's going to be one 803 00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:32,000 of these guys that might just be a negative value for those, which is 804 00:56:32,119 --> 00:56:36,360 unfortunate. But the points should be there, at least to some extent. 805 00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:38,559 I don't know how much it's going to translate to the NHL, but he 806 00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:44,880 has been he has had. He has a really good point scoring right now 807 00:56:45,039 --> 00:56:47,360 in the AHL, and he's had a couple of decent seasons in the Liga 808 00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:52,119 with okay scoring. He's also had a couple with not much at all. 809 00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:53,000 I don't really have a whole lot of faith that he's going to be a 810 00:56:53,039 --> 00:56:55,639 big time scorer, but he could be one of these thirty to forty point 811 00:56:55,679 --> 00:57:00,079 guys every now and then. That's reasonable. Looking at the underlying metrics, 812 00:57:00,159 --> 00:57:04,199 some of them are not so good, like his transition game and his puckwork, 813 00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:07,760 but he does have some decent play driving and some power play time. 814 00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:13,320 But let's hear a little bit more about Namella from Craig and Craig has this 815 00:57:13,519 --> 00:57:16,000 to say, skating average to below. Often pinches in on the rush, 816 00:57:16,079 --> 00:57:21,119 but doesn't have the speed to catch back up when the puck is turned over. 817 00:57:21,559 --> 00:57:24,039 Topy plays the angles very well, which makes it hard to notice when 818 00:57:24,119 --> 00:57:28,960 speedy forwards are coming at him. This might not translate to the NHL, 819 00:57:29,079 --> 00:57:31,199 but you can bet coaches won't stand for him pinching and not being able to 820 00:57:31,239 --> 00:57:36,800 get back. Craig says that the passing and handling is average to above. 821 00:57:37,519 --> 00:57:42,440 Niamella is able to read the play, make a solid first pass to spring 822 00:57:42,559 --> 00:57:45,960 the offense into an odd man rush. His puck handling pretty solid when walking 823 00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:52,639 the blue line, but nothing flashy like dangling defenders. Shooting below average here, 824 00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:54,679 Niamella doesn't shoot too often. Hard to get a sense of how well 825 00:57:54,719 --> 00:58:00,239 he shoots when he only gets one shot on net per game. IQ bridge 826 00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:04,519 to above average. He's pointed out in the passing he is great at reading 827 00:58:04,559 --> 00:58:08,400 the attack and getting the offense going with a long stretch pass to the forward. 828 00:58:08,679 --> 00:58:13,400 Niamela doesn't carry the puck up the ice too often for an offensive minded 829 00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:16,880 defender, so it's hard to judge the panic meter for checking. As a 830 00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:21,719 defender, he's usually the second or third guy in looking for a drop pass. 831 00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,559 This might be a good area to mention his lack of hits. Being 832 00:58:24,599 --> 00:58:29,719 a smaller guy, Niamela doesn't shy away from being hit, but sure doesn't 833 00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:34,840 finish hits either. Defense is average. He plays the angle great one forwards 834 00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:37,760 are coming down on him as he isn't the fastest or biggest guy. This 835 00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:43,840 is his bread and butter. Nothing stood out when watching Niamella's defensive game, 836 00:58:44,159 --> 00:58:46,800 and that's a good thing. Seem to handle himself well on the corners and 837 00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:52,280 in front of the net with bigger and stronger competition. So the best asset 838 00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:55,280 is his first pass out of the defensive zone. Finding seems that the average 839 00:58:55,320 --> 00:59:00,519 defender would not have seen and the biggest concern the offense doesn't translate to the 840 00:59:00,639 --> 00:59:05,840 NHL. Currently, he's half a point per game player with nineteen minutes of 841 00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:09,239 ice time, with a sure drop in playing time in tougher competition. This 842 00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:15,360 is a guy who Craig seizes twenty five points in no Bash the top tier. 843 00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:19,719 What would be the best possible outcome for topy Numella he be maybe a 844 00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:23,320 top four second power play guy, putting him at forty to fifty points with 845 00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:29,639 minimal bash. That would be everything breaking right the defensive game giving him minutes 846 00:59:30,079 --> 00:59:36,039 and that slight offensive ability landing him power play two. The median outcome, 847 00:59:36,119 --> 00:59:39,519 though, is Tier three or four second or third pairing touches a power play 848 00:59:39,599 --> 00:59:45,119 time twenty to thirty points minimal bash. That's because his defensive game is solid 849 00:59:45,239 --> 00:59:49,079 enough to keep him in the NHL, but the size and speed are going 850 00:59:49,159 --> 00:59:52,880 to hinder him from making the top four. The game doesn't scream on offense, 851 00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:59,039 but can be seen when given the opportunity. So the stylistic comparable Crag 852 00:59:59,079 --> 01:00:02,599 comes up with Travis Dermott, a smaller guy who struggles was stronger competition, 853 01:00:02,719 --> 01:00:07,000 but was able to put some points on the board at the AHL level and 854 01:00:07,199 --> 01:00:10,800 below, and there was a time point in time. Craig says he thought 855 01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:15,400 Namella could be a fantasy option, but he is not on that train any 856 01:00:15,519 --> 01:00:20,840 longer. Our friend Mason Black, the NHL Rank King, put out a 857 01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:28,280 poll tope Niamella versus Stanislav Sivosal, who is a Columbus Blue Jackets prospect and 858 01:00:29,199 --> 01:00:35,320 what came out here Niamella fifty three, Siposal forty seven, Victor. Is 859 01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:39,320 that how your racking stack? Yeah? Sure, But I also agree with 860 01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:44,400 Craig. I think the biggest takeaway here is you should just move along and 861 01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:49,239 probably try to find someone else, because even though Niamla I think will probably 862 01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:52,960 play, he'll probably be like a bottom pairing guy, or maybe he's like 863 01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:57,440 a number seven or eight type of guy who gets in maybe plays a role, 864 01:00:57,599 --> 01:01:00,159 But I don't think he's going to be a big fantasy up. And 865 01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:02,119 for one, the lack of bash is going to make him really hard to 866 01:01:02,199 --> 01:01:06,199 roster because then you're just hoping that he gets on the power play, but 867 01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:09,920 he doesn't really demand that opportunity either, so he could be a little bit 868 01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:15,400 frustrating to add and to hold. But I think that there's still some potential 869 01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:22,719 there, there's some some level of interest that is reasonable. But for the 870 01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:25,199 most part, I don't really think he's going to be someone who you're going 871 01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:29,800 to be missing in fantasy or you're going to be regretting trading him away or 872 01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:31,800 anything like that. So yeah, I take him a little bit of against 873 01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:36,679 Fosal. I think he has a little bit more upside than Disposal. I 874 01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:40,519 think he's a little bit more well thought of as well, and I like 875 01:01:40,599 --> 01:01:45,239 the production in the HL. But Disposal is also someone who's a little bit 876 01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:47,960 interesting. They have a lot of great defense in Columbus, though, so 877 01:01:49,119 --> 01:01:51,039 that maybe hurts him a little bit. There are a lot of guys that 878 01:01:51,079 --> 01:01:54,480 are ahead of him, and if they take another defenseman here in this draft, 879 01:01:54,519 --> 01:01:58,039 which I don't think they will, then that could even hurt him further. 880 01:01:58,199 --> 01:02:01,239 But yeah, I would nea MLA, but I also think I'm going 881 01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:06,599 to go somewhere else. If you're considering these two guys. The Hockey Prospecting 882 01:02:06,719 --> 01:02:12,000 has the mL add five percent chance of being a star and Disposal three percent. 883 01:02:12,079 --> 01:02:14,320 So both these guys are really low. Most of their comps are just 884 01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:17,239 replacement level guys. One guy that is interesting for him is Jake Walman. 885 01:02:17,559 --> 01:02:21,280 That's maybe someone who he could end up being a bit like. But I 886 01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:24,519 think there's more bash there even for Walman, So yeah, that makes them 887 01:02:24,519 --> 01:02:29,360 a little bit easier to hold. So that's it for the Toronto Maye Pleief 888 01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:30,800 dig. If you're a patron, you can listen to my top ten recap 889 01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:34,880 per team, and if you're doing some scouting with us, you can shoot 890 01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:38,440 me DM on Twitter, Discord, or email us and we'll be right back 891 01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:52,599 to close out the show.

You can you ever play a league where you get irritated that 898 01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:19,159 somebody doesn't have a position eligibility and everybody in the league agrees they should have 899 01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:22,159 that position eligibility, but there's nothing you can do about it, and you 900 01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:29,519 send angry emails to the staff provider. In fan tracks, you can change 901 01:03:29,559 --> 01:03:32,639 it. Your commissioner can just change that.
