Here's your hosts, Jesse Sevier and 4 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:29,679 Victor Nuno. Hey everybody. Jesse Severer Fantasy Hockey Life host co host and 5 00:00:29,839 --> 00:00:33,799 Victor Nunio is the co host. But you know what, his voice is 6 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,920 not with you right now. Here's why I am back in Fantasy Hockey Life 7 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:43,960 studios and we are presenting to you today a very special two part episode like 8 00:00:44,039 --> 00:00:48,759 we have last year. It's a crossover episode between Fantasy Hockey Life and Dabber 9 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:53,560 Prospects Report. And the first part is coming out right now you're hearing it. 10 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,960 The second part will come out on the DPR feed later in the week. 11 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,159 And here's what's going on. Hunt, Peter Harling and Victor Nunio went 12 00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:07,280 to the NHL Draft for the second straight year. They went to the draft 13 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,200 and they got a lot of material, a cornucopia of material that they sent 14 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,560 back to me. Now here's the thing. The interviews that you get in 15 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:21,719 the draft are not necessarily Victor getting twenty minutes of one on one time with 16 00:01:21,799 --> 00:01:27,959 the top prospect. Instead, there are media scrums around general managers and around 17 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:34,680 prospects where people ask questions with a recorder out and it's difficult to hear the 18 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:40,359 reporter, and then the prospect is on Mike and speaks and tries to answer 19 00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:44,000 some of the questions. And a lot of times these are people who were 20 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,719 writing in print and their goal is to go back and write this nice report 21 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:53,120 in their hometown newspaper saying how excited the player was to have their name called 22 00:01:53,519 --> 00:01:57,239 and come down, and how happy they are for their parent support and all 23 00:01:57,239 --> 00:02:00,920 these things. Well, folks, here's the thing that is not necessarily the 24 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:08,400 most relevant information for our fantasy hockey listeners that we have here. So I 25 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:15,560 have accumulated all the material that Victor and Peter have provided, and I'm stitching 26 00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:21,280 them into two episodes. And here's the thing. In addition to hearing those 27 00:02:21,319 --> 00:02:24,599 folks, Victor and Peter had plenty of opportunities to talk to some of our 28 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,479 favorite experts, people who've been on the show, people who haven't, and 29 00:02:30,199 --> 00:02:35,039 they had great talks about some of these prospects. Instead of hitting you with 30 00:02:35,159 --> 00:02:40,360 a very long segment of prospect after prospect and just their voices, and these 31 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,400 interviews are fairly short, or the question and answers that we're getting are fairly 32 00:02:45,439 --> 00:02:51,879 short. Instead, I am stitching them into some of the interviews that our 33 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:57,240 hosts have with some of the experts. So in the beginning of this episode, 34 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,639 for example, Victor and Peter are going to start out in our first 35 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,680 segment, and I am plugging in interviews from Jesse Paulkin, and Carter George 36 00:03:04,719 --> 00:03:10,800 and Ilia Protas. All of them were discussed in the actual analysis that the 37 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,599 boys were doing, and they didn't know I was going to approach it quite 38 00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:19,360 this way. But I make no apologies. Also, I make no apologies 39 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,639 for the fact that I did clean up some audio. There is some very 40 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:27,400 difficult to hear reporter questions. You probably have to strain for a little bit. 41 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,800 But there is a brutal number of ums and us that young men who 42 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,840 are not used to standing up in front of an audience are going to utter, 43 00:03:38,919 --> 00:03:44,080 and I have methods of deleting those, and I have taken advantage of 44 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,439 them. So the audio is significantly cleaned up. Nobody is being taken out 45 00:03:47,439 --> 00:03:52,319 of context or anything like that. But that's kind of how this is going 46 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,520 down. So I want everybody that this is the first half of it. 47 00:03:55,879 --> 00:04:00,319 We're doing that segment with Victor and Peter, and then after that we're going 48 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:10,800 to have a second segment where Shane malloy speaks and Tarrett Parasak, the Washington 49 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,639 Capital's first round pick, is discussed. He's actually boy, He's going to 50 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,319 be talked about a lot between these two episodes. I've listened to a lot 51 00:04:17,319 --> 00:04:21,800 more of it than you have, obviously, so I would invite everybody to 52 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:27,720 sit back, listen to this first segment, and I'll be back after the 53 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:36,399 break to tell you what we have coming up for the second half. All 54 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,399 right, Hey, everybody, this is Victor Pee. We're here in Vegas, 55 00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:44,199 ready to talk to you about what it's like been like to be here 56 00:04:44,519 --> 00:04:46,160 and give you some of our takes from the first and second round from the 57 00:04:46,199 --> 00:04:49,240 draft. How you doing, Pete, I'm running on fumes, Victor. 58 00:04:49,319 --> 00:04:56,199 It has been an exciting week, that's been exhausting, and it's been a 59 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,160 really good time. It's been a great time. I've had a great time 60 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,959 hanging out with you, and we've also ran into and talked to a bunch 61 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:08,680 of different people, writers, scouts, lots of different media people. It's 62 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,000 been it's been really eye opening. Yeah. You know, I've said it 63 00:05:12,199 --> 00:05:16,279 before and I'll say it every year. The NHL Draft it's like the ball 64 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,120 at the end of the year. Right. That's why I do all the 65 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:24,240 work I do all year so that I can come to the NHL because it's 66 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:29,680 such a great time. I really enjoy rubb and elbows with the other media 67 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:35,399 people who have podcasts, are on different media outlets and are talking my language. 68 00:05:35,639 --> 00:05:40,560 I don't have people in my private life thinking I can have these same 69 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:45,040 level conversations with So it's a lot of talking to a microphone with you and 70 00:05:45,079 --> 00:05:49,240 then with actual human other human beings at the draft. Yeah, we've had 71 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:54,360 some really great, eye opening conversations about a lot of different things from what 72 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,560 this draft experience will be like in the future as early as next season. 73 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,839 We talked a lot about some rumors and things that we were hearing. Check 74 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,879 that out and the DPR show feed. Because we did a pre draft discussion. 75 00:06:06,959 --> 00:06:11,360 We also broke down the first round some surprises that we saw and we 76 00:06:12,439 --> 00:06:15,439 that we thought were interesting picks, and some value guys that we're going to 77 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,560 maybe go later, so we did a couple of those on location. Go 78 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:24,319 check out the DPR our Prospects Report feed for that. What we want to 79 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,839 do here is talk about some of the later round guys and maybe we're a 80 00:06:27,879 --> 00:06:30,160 little bit interesting the fell a little bit more. How does that sound? 81 00:06:30,439 --> 00:06:35,079 That sounds awesome. We just came from the second on round, so it's 82 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:40,160 fresh. We were literally there and you will hear later some of the interviews 83 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,759 that we got from the different scouts and writers and players and gms and all 84 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,800 that stuff. Definitely stay tuned for that. But this is some discussion on 85 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,240 some of the players, and we will try not to repeat ourselves on some 86 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:55,319 players that you're going to hear from in different parts of the show, so 87 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,639 we will try to avoid that. We got a couple guys that we think 88 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,040 are interesting. Who you got who's your first one? Pete? I could 89 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:09,160 talk about do we do Jesse Pulkinan There was some polkonan dog but feel free 90 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:15,600 all right. He was an interesting prospect in that he's a Draft plus one, 91 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:20,319 so he was passed over in last year's draft, and he's a big, 92 00:07:20,439 --> 00:07:25,879 mobile defenseman with some fantasy value. And because he's a year older, 93 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,759 the turnaround time on him was going to be a little bit quicker in terms 94 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,439 of projection to the NHL. His English is obviously not his first language, 95 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:43,560 is a he's a finish prospect. And in the media podium interview Ryan Kennedy 96 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,360 was asking a bunch of people were asking him some questions and he was really 97 00:07:46,399 --> 00:07:48,279 struggling, I think with the language barrier, because his answers were just a 98 00:07:48,279 --> 00:07:53,199 lot of yeses and nos and no context or follow up. But one of 99 00:07:53,199 --> 00:07:58,600 the questions that was posed to him was about how last year he wasn't really 100 00:07:58,839 --> 00:08:03,480 on the radar or relevant, and that the feel on that was because he 101 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:09,399 just didn't really he didn't care enough. And so the question was what's changed, 102 00:08:09,399 --> 00:08:13,879 What's made you you care more this year? And his answer was basically 103 00:08:13,959 --> 00:08:18,480 yes. So I think maybe the question was lost in translation there, of 104 00:08:18,519 --> 00:08:24,120 course, But what I was really curious about is the underlying concern from the 105 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,160 question and if he was just sitting there at eating Hamburger's last year, then 106 00:08:28,759 --> 00:08:33,240 what's changed or or how confident Army that he might not just be more interested 107 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,440 in Hamberg's again next year? When when do you think he might come to 108 00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:43,039 when I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't 109 00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:48,240 know. But you expect to stay stadium late next year, I don't know, 110 00:08:48,399 --> 00:08:52,759 maybe Finland maybe. What was it like playing at the World Juniors this 111 00:08:52,879 --> 00:09:00,240 year, the World Junior Championship? What was that experience like, I don't 112 00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:03,759 know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. This 113 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:09,759 is bad. So that was interesting. But before I knew that he was 114 00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:13,919 a prospect that I had some fantasy aspirations for the reasons that I opened with 115 00:09:13,919 --> 00:09:16,279 it. He's a little bit older, and he's got size and mobility and 116 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,399 offensive upsides. I thought that was an interesting player. He's definitely interesting, 117 00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:26,240 and as we've talked about many times that islander Pool is poor, so they 118 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:31,360 got a big infusion. We already talked about Cole Eiserman going there and polking 119 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,159 in. That's a home run, I think, because he's a bigger, 120 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:39,679 older player and he's pretty ready to play, So that's good for them. 121 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,679 Yeah, let's go to another defenseman, Leo Selene Willinius. The Sharks took 122 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:48,759 at fifty three, which I thought was a pretty interesting pick. They also 123 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,440 really need defense. Of course, we know they went Sam Dickinson with eleven, 124 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,600 and we've talked a lot about that, so we don't need to waste 125 00:09:56,639 --> 00:09:58,879 too much air on that. But I'm looking forward to seeing all these guys 126 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,759 development camp. Probably by the time you're hearing this, it'll be upon us, 127 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,039 and so that'll be really fun to catch all these guys. But he's 128 00:10:07,159 --> 00:10:11,960 a good size, six foot left handed d he's pretty young for this draft 129 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:16,080 April tenth, so he played pretty much this whole season, mainly in the 130 00:10:16,159 --> 00:10:18,399 j twenty, where he was point per game. I think that maybe some 131 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,320 of that offense is a little bit inflated, though I'm not sure that he's 132 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,519 gonna be that big offensive guy, but there's potential there to be a good 133 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:30,279 offensive defenseman. I think the biggest thing for Wellen selling Millennius is that he's 134 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,639 a big he's a good skater, he's good shutdown guy. He's a guy 135 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,360 who's a pretty robust defensive defenseman. And maybe there's a little bit more offense 136 00:10:37,399 --> 00:10:41,200 there too, But he's a guy who shoots up near the top of that 137 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,759 pool. Obviously, behind Dickinson, they don't have too many other guys who 138 00:10:45,759 --> 00:10:50,759 are super exciting, so he's one. I thought that was pretty good value 139 00:10:50,919 --> 00:10:54,879 for them where they got him. And we've talked so much about how there's 140 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,000 great depth at D and this is exactly what we're talking about, getting a 141 00:10:58,039 --> 00:11:03,000 guy at fifty third over raw where most people had him about fifteen spots earlier. 142 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:07,879 So that's pretty good value for the Sharks. I would say, would 143 00:11:07,879 --> 00:11:13,120 you describe for people who have the screenplay? I would subscribers as a player, 144 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,159 a two way defender. I like to move the park, small player 145 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,039 with Yeah, I'm a good scaler, so yeah, a two way defender 146 00:11:20,919 --> 00:11:24,279 for yourself. Obviously, the Sharks have a few sweets and gave me to 147 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,200 a little neck. Are you familiar with them? Do you knowing me on 148 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,279 the team? And what do you know about San Jose as a team as 149 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,840 fall? Yeah? I know it's it's a lot of Swedish players there. 150 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:39,919 It's a nice stay. So that's what I know that. Now, Yeah, 151 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,879 for yourself, what's next for your work? And obviously if you've got 152 00:11:41,879 --> 00:11:45,279 development camp coming out, do you expect to be there? And then where 153 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,200 do you expect to play next season? So maybe juniors or we're back to 154 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,559 No, I'm gonna play in the Vicua Akers with the men's I signed a 155 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,320 two years contract there. That's my plan. I don't know for the next 156 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:01,919 two coming seasons. What ado you stream lot? Yeah, of course I'm 157 00:12:03,159 --> 00:12:05,840 That's all I want. I'm gonna work hard every day to play in NHL. 158 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:11,960 Monday is a player that after Yeah, I like to watch on Mirohayes. 159 00:12:13,159 --> 00:12:16,919 And he's also two a defender, a good scaler. I like to 160 00:12:16,759 --> 00:12:20,639 how he plays. Yeah, I like to watch on him. Is your 161 00:12:22,159 --> 00:12:26,960 of course that's my goal? I yeah, I want to play against man. 162 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,600 Be stronger, Yeah, work on on my things. Yeah, be 163 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,519 better on all the things. And yeah, be stronger, play with more 164 00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:37,000 intensity. And what is you say is the strongest part of your game right 165 00:12:37,039 --> 00:12:43,600 now? You don't need to rely on to play. And I would say 166 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:54,840 my smartness or my skating skills, my mobility on ice A special teams, 167 00:12:54,159 --> 00:12:58,919 I would say I can play in both both panelt killing or power play. 168 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:03,799 But I have played a play this season, so I want to go for 169 00:13:03,919 --> 00:13:07,679 that. It's more I think. So, Yeah, he looked pretty good 170 00:13:07,799 --> 00:13:13,679 for Sweden in the international tournaments that I watched as well. He's specifically looking 171 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,879 for Frey and and he stood out not for his offensive prowess, but like 172 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,759 just as a player who I think projects maybe a little bit more reliably to 173 00:13:20,799 --> 00:13:24,120 the NHL. Perhaps. Okay, I gotta talk about my local boy there, 174 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,799 Jacob Attaglia. I'm Kingston, Ontario, so I go to the front 175 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,919 Next games all the time, and he is a member of the Kingston front 176 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,639 Necks and he was their second round pick two years ago, and going into 177 00:13:35,639 --> 00:13:39,720 this year, he was ranked pretty low on all the draft rankings, and 178 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,360 the player that Fronts took first that year, Gabriel Frasca, was you know, 179 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,120 you're a first round I don't even think he was drafted. And once 180 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:54,399 the front Necks made their coaching change, his season really turned the corner. 181 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,960 The new coach came in, bumped him up onto a first line with Hawk's 182 00:14:00,039 --> 00:14:03,559 second round picked Paul Ledwinsky and Matthew Soto, and he never looked back. 183 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,720 He just started becoming a point a game player at the OHL level. I 184 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,799 like him, Victor. He's a nice kid for starters, and he's got 185 00:14:11,879 --> 00:14:15,480 decent size. He's about six' one. He's really good in the corners 186 00:14:15,799 --> 00:14:20,000 and has a good shot. But once a game he does a play or 187 00:14:20,039 --> 00:14:24,320 I say to myself, ooh that was nifty, or oh I didn't see 188 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,879 that option. He makes some really nice plays and I've been banging his drum 189 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,919 all season, so it was nice to see him move into the second round 190 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:37,000 and get some get some spotlight. And I was listening to his media interview 191 00:14:37,279 --> 00:14:41,960 after he was selected and one of the writers asked him if he had any 192 00:14:43,159 --> 00:14:46,840 inclination that Calgary was interested in him and that's where he would be picked. 193 00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:50,360 He laughed and he said, yeah, I mean I had some good interviews 194 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,960 with them. He goes, but I interviewed a lot of teams because I 195 00:14:54,080 --> 00:15:00,320 really Calgary though. But I went to a spiritual healer and she told that 196 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,120 i'd get that I was going to be picked in the second round to a 197 00:15:03,159 --> 00:15:07,039 Canadian team, and then she says, I think it's Calgary. So that 198 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,799 was weird. That's not something you expect to hear from a hockey player after 199 00:15:09,879 --> 00:15:13,720 he's drafted out. His media is from So I thought that was a pretty 200 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,240 funny little story to share. It's a great story, and it's good stuff 201 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,639 that you get when you're here and you're lucky enough to be one of the 202 00:15:20,679 --> 00:15:24,720 media people. I love that story. Let's move over to my next one. 203 00:15:24,799 --> 00:15:28,679 That's Carter George and he had some pretty interesting things to say too. 204 00:15:28,759 --> 00:15:33,080 Now, he was the third goalie taken and people may remember, I'm sure 205 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,600 Canadians remember that he helped backstop them U eighteen Gold. He was really good 206 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,480 in that tournament, and maybe not the reason they won, but he certainly 207 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,879 made some fantastic saves and was a big part of that. He's six foot 208 00:15:43,919 --> 00:15:48,879 one, so maybe slightly undersized. He's also really young for this draft May 209 00:15:48,919 --> 00:15:52,559 twentieth. It's fine, so he's drafted by the Kings fifty seventh overall, 210 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,879 who desperately needs some help in the goalie pipeline. It was interesting though, 211 00:15:56,879 --> 00:15:58,840 he was talking about how he's been a Kings fan his whole life, pretty 212 00:15:58,879 --> 00:16:03,279 much much since he was a little kid, and he watched the twenty twelve 213 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,080 Cup from the Kings that I didn't quite get the exploit answers to why he 214 00:16:07,159 --> 00:16:10,519 was a Kings fan because he's from thunder Bay, Artario, so I don't 215 00:16:10,559 --> 00:16:12,960 really I don't really get that maybe one of the players was a favorite of 216 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,360 his, or maybe parents or something like that. Not really sure, but 217 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:22,080 he's definitely had some pretty good numbers in the OHL. Looking at his Hockey 218 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,320 Prospecting card, he's forty seven percent chance of being in NHLer, which is 219 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,600 pretty darn good For someone who is just drafted like that, it tends to 220 00:16:30,639 --> 00:16:33,480 be quite a bit lower. This was a dreamized since I've been a kid. 221 00:16:33,519 --> 00:16:36,440 Obviously, growing up, I was a huge La Kings fan. I've 222 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,919 always dreamed of wearing the jersey and playing for them. It's pretty cool to 223 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,639 get drafted by this organization and that just means the world to me and your 224 00:16:42,679 --> 00:16:47,799 neighbors out a lot of us. Yeah, excited a lot of people. 225 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,840 Yeah, I run a lot. I probably had twenty plus people back from 226 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,039 Thunder Bay. A lot of people came to support me, which is awesome. 227 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,759 It was pretty cool. Tile I'm hearing come all this way just to 228 00:16:55,799 --> 00:16:57,559 support me and just show us what kind of people they are. Yeah, 229 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,440 they've done a lot for me. They probably were my development and they've done 230 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,240 a lot for providing me with resources and helped me succeed. Obviously, guys 231 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,440 in the room and the coaches have done a lot for me management top to 232 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,079 bottom. They've been incredible to me and treated me incredibly well. I can't 233 00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:15,079 think of them enough, and I wouldn't be here without them. I have 234 00:17:15,279 --> 00:17:18,480 yes when I went there, and probably remember it was just playing. We 235 00:17:18,519 --> 00:17:22,839 played at the LA Kings practice facility, so I thought that was pretty cool 236 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,000 playing there, and then growing up, I think a twenty twelve cup was 237 00:17:26,039 --> 00:17:29,119 pretty cool to me. And then obviously they wanted twenty fourteen too, so 238 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,880 that was a cherry on top for me. Any thought from jersey and logo, 239 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:34,480 I like it a lot. I'm not gonna lie, it's it's pretty 240 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,079 cool. It's it threw me off a little bit at first because I'm so 241 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,839 used to the old logo, and then once I used to it, it 242 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,680 looks. It looks pretty cool. I'm excited to wear it. Your style 243 00:17:42,799 --> 00:17:48,920 was a goaltender and any Goldstenders stimulated throwing up. Yeah. Growing up, 244 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,079 I watched a lot of Price and Jonathan Wick, those kind of guys I 245 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,519 loved, and then once I got to an age where I started modeling my 246 00:17:55,559 --> 00:17:59,039 game after guys, it came to Egorsh's Durky and Jeremy Swaven. Those two 247 00:17:59,079 --> 00:18:03,359 guys are kind of same frame as me, play similar. I definitely take 248 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,359 a lot from them and can apply some of their attributes to my game, 249 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,480 and I'm still learning lots and trying to take as much as possible from either 250 00:18:08,559 --> 00:18:11,559 goalies around the league. If you're wondering, the two goalies that went before 251 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:18,039 him were Overrager Illianabakoff no relation to Evgeny he's a double Overrager actually, and 252 00:18:18,079 --> 00:18:23,400 then Mikhail Igoroff. So basically a couple of Russians went a little bit earlier, 253 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:30,440 and New Jersey drafted Ygorof and Colorado drafted the back off. So Day 254 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,240 two is always goalie day. No goalies won the first round, many goalies 255 00:18:34,279 --> 00:18:38,200 went after that. Twenty four goalies actually went on Day two, five of 256 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,799 them in the second round, three and the third. So I don't think 257 00:18:41,839 --> 00:18:45,440 we know anything about these goalies. We won't for a long time. But 258 00:18:45,519 --> 00:18:48,359 I think I think Carter George is someone that you could get excited about, 259 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:53,880 especially because that LA system is pretty lacking, and so he immediately becomes one 260 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,759 of the most interesting players that in that pool. Yeah, he was amazing 261 00:18:57,799 --> 00:19:04,599 for Canada BU teams. He was a very large reason why they won that 262 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,920 turnament that he was amazing. Fint me, he kept them in when they 263 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,480 really had no business being in the game. At times. But let's talk 264 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:15,720 about Luke Misa. Michael Mesa's older brother. Michael Mesa's got the exceptional status 265 00:19:15,759 --> 00:19:22,720 in the Ontario Hockey League playing with Saganaw but Luke's coming out of the OHL 266 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,559 as well, and a lot of people had him in their first round and 267 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:33,119 he's with the Mississauga Steelheads, and he was a late first early second round 268 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,960 pick in a lot of people's rankings, I think, And he fell into 269 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,759 the bottom of the sixth round with pick one hundred and fifty, another Calgary 270 00:19:40,759 --> 00:19:44,240 Flames pick there. So I talked to a couple of people about that. 271 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:45,039 I was like, hey, Luke Misa finally got picked, what do you 272 00:19:45,039 --> 00:19:48,000 think of that? And all that's a great pick in the fifth round. 273 00:19:48,079 --> 00:19:51,200 You should have gone higher. I had him in my second round. Blah 274 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:56,119 blah blah. So I watched them live Victor, and I see the appeal. 275 00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:02,160 He's he's a pretty shifty player. He's quick. I don't know about 276 00:20:02,279 --> 00:20:07,359 how breakaway fast he is, but he definitely moves around the ice quite quickly, 277 00:20:07,519 --> 00:20:12,839 and I think he processes the game pretty quickly. Lacks some size. 278 00:20:14,519 --> 00:20:18,519 He is five ten, one seventy four, so I'm not sure how survivable 279 00:20:18,559 --> 00:20:22,480 that is in the pro level, let alone the National Hockey League. And 280 00:20:22,519 --> 00:20:29,920 then his offensive skill sets are all above average in the OHL, but none 281 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:34,240 of them are elite, right, Like, he doesn't have a playmaking vision 282 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,640 that blows you away, he doesn't have the most lethal shot. He's just 283 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:44,480 really good at all those things. So I guess that's probably why he slid 284 00:20:44,519 --> 00:20:48,400 down the rankings. With suffering from seize ititis, as Cam said in the 285 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,519 tweet that we saw earlier, is a bit of a problem for him. 286 00:20:51,759 --> 00:20:56,200 Is it possible that he puts on twenty pounds and grows two more inches in 287 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,559 the next two years. It's totally possible. I mean again, thing can 288 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,880 happen, But until he does that, I'm less interested. I'm not sure 289 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,960 that he projects very well. So it could be a good fantasy value in 290 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,480 a fifth round kind of thing if he falls to you there, but there's 291 00:21:11,599 --> 00:21:15,720 risk. Yeah, not someone that I'm super interested in. But as you 292 00:21:15,759 --> 00:21:18,599 said, he has a lot of really good tools, and if he can 293 00:21:19,319 --> 00:21:23,279 leverage that packers that altogether into the sum being greater than the parts, then 294 00:21:23,279 --> 00:21:27,279 it could be really interesting. The next guy I want to talk about is 295 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:33,839 John Mustard. So he went sixty seven to the Chicago Blackhawks, and that 296 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:38,519 was around where some people had him ranked. The consensus had him ranked forty 297 00:21:38,559 --> 00:21:41,920 second. It's forty six, so I guess you could say maybe there was 298 00:21:42,039 --> 00:21:48,519 value there he had. He played for the USHL Waterloo Blackhawks and had twenty 299 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,920 nine goals in sixty games, so almost half a goal per game is pretty 300 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,119 nice. It's interesting because you might remember that last year they took Nick Lardis 301 00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,000 out of the OHL, and I think these guys are not two dissimilar. 302 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,279 Mustard Is two inches taller, but they're both pretty quick guys with really good 303 00:22:04,279 --> 00:22:08,119 shots. Mustard in the USA Jell anyways, has really perfected the art of 304 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,079 skating around guys, skating down, blistering down the wing, and firing a 305 00:22:11,079 --> 00:22:15,839 shot with pretty good accuracy. So he needs to round out his game, 306 00:22:15,319 --> 00:22:19,160 but we'll see maybe he can take a step. But it's funny because in 307 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,960 hockey prospecting, they both in their draft season had thirteen percent chance of being 308 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:27,000 a star and forty nine percent chance of being an NHL. Lartis increased his 309 00:22:27,519 --> 00:22:33,000 star potential this year, which was pretty nice to see. But you have 310 00:22:33,039 --> 00:22:36,640 to wait and see how that's all gonna work out for Mustard or yeah, 311 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:41,119 for Mustard. He is scheduled to go to Providence College next season. We'll 312 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,599 see how that works out. Trevor Connelly should be his teammate there, and 313 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,400 maybe those two can work together and increase their scoring. But I think interesting 314 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,160 pick. It's funny. We've talked about some team seem to have a type. 315 00:22:52,319 --> 00:22:56,000 I'm not sure if two guys that are that similar constitute a type. 316 00:22:56,079 --> 00:22:59,440 But it also interesting to me that it seemed like they already had that player 317 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:00,599 and they went out, I got another player that was similar to him, 318 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,720 a little bit taller, maybe a little bit faster. Maybe the shot isn't 319 00:23:03,759 --> 00:23:07,079 quite as good as Lartises, But I think there's some rhymes there, which 320 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,119 is interesting. So maybe they're like, oh, we'll get two of these 321 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,359 guys and one of them should work out pretty well. I don't know, 322 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,160 what do you think of that, Pete? Yeah, I like Lartis and 323 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,240 I like Mustard. I was at his interview as well, and he asked 324 00:23:18,319 --> 00:23:22,920 aout, do you have any funny nicknames? Because the last name he's not 325 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:27,279 really musty. Colonel Mustard, I like Colonel Mustard was funny un original, 326 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:33,559 yeah, but still funny. Okay, one more for me will go. 327 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,039 Let's talk about Anthony Romania, another guy from the Ontario Hockey League. He 328 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,319 was the first pick in the sixth round, one hundred and sixty seven overall 329 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,960 to the Vancouver Canucks. He was ranked a lot higher than that ninety seven 330 00:23:47,039 --> 00:23:52,079 consensus was as high as in the seventies by some folks. So he's a 331 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,359 July birthday. So he's just about to turn nineteen, and he's a D 332 00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,599 plus one. Last year was his first draft year, so he's got one 333 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,720 more year to play in the Ontario Hockey League and he had a real breakout 334 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,319 D plus one season. Is it still a D plus one if you get 335 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,720 drafted in your D plus one? I guess it is a yeah. Anyhow, 336 00:24:11,759 --> 00:24:15,799 he scored almost sixty goals in sixty eight games and had one hundred and 337 00:24:15,799 --> 00:24:22,039 eleven points for the North Bay Battalion. And I saw him play a couple 338 00:24:22,039 --> 00:24:26,880 of times as well, and he's dynamite on the rush. The kids got 339 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,519 a tremendous shot, and he was playing with Dylan Wakeley as a center, 340 00:24:30,599 --> 00:24:37,519 and those two guys we were pretty unstoppable at times. And I think the 341 00:24:37,559 --> 00:24:41,599 ability to score on the rush gets a lot harder when you move up the 342 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,440 chain there of the food chain and get into pro hockey, But the ability 343 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,640 to score on the rush at that level would be a tremendous asset for him. 344 00:24:49,039 --> 00:24:53,119 The skating is okay, and the size is okay. He's six foot 345 00:24:53,160 --> 00:25:00,799 one eighty three, But I think in order for him to be rejectable at 346 00:25:00,839 --> 00:25:03,240 the NHL level, I don't think it's going to be as a first line 347 00:25:03,279 --> 00:25:07,480 fifty goal scorer. He's going to have to adapt his game a little bit 348 00:25:07,519 --> 00:25:12,640 and make some changes, and sometimes that's a real challenge for some players. 349 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,079 I think you could make it to the NHL. He certainly got some scoring 350 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:22,720 prowess, and I think he would be a nice second power play unit option 351 00:25:22,279 --> 00:25:26,160 for some teams perhaps if everything breaks well for him. But he might be 352 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,519 a player that depending on how deep your fantasy rounds go and if you're in 353 00:25:30,079 --> 00:25:33,640 prospect leagues, But if it tries to mirror the NHL and you have five 354 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,400 or six rounds of prospect drafting from the draft, he's a guy i'd recommend. 355 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,480 I think there's there's some potential here. Yeah. I love that that's 356 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,079 into one. I think a lot of people like that pick from an analytics 357 00:25:45,079 --> 00:25:49,720 sort of standpoint, So good stuff there. Last one I want to talk 358 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:56,400 about. There were some interesting legacy picks or people with ties to other teams 359 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,079 that we don't necessarily need to talk about. But it was fun to see 360 00:26:00,079 --> 00:26:06,319 Attus Koivu being picked by Montreal. That's Sasaku's son, so that was pretty 361 00:26:06,319 --> 00:26:08,880 fun. And then there are some other picks people that were related, so 362 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,480 I think that's interesting. But the one that I wanted to talk about is 363 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:22,039 Iliya Protas and he is Alexey Protas's brother, and that's been interesting pick. 364 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:23,480 And oh, I guess I didn't mention yet. He was picked by the 365 00:26:23,559 --> 00:26:30,640 Washington Capitals. Who who is who Alexey plays for? Both these guys are 366 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:34,400 huge. Alexey is six foot six, he's now twenty three. He's in 367 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:40,079 the Washington organization. I'm sure people are familiar with him who play in bangor 368 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,559 leagues. He's maybe not the most exciting player for Fantasy, but he is 369 00:26:44,559 --> 00:26:49,880 someone who does have a decent amount of appeal in you know, a little 370 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:55,240 bit more peripheral setting. He hasn't gotten the most ice time lately and he's 371 00:26:55,279 --> 00:26:57,200 been more of like a thirty point guy. But I think, you know, 372 00:26:57,319 --> 00:27:00,119 maybe there's a little bit more upside there with his brother. For one 373 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:07,240 reason, Billia is still seventeen and he doesn't turn eighteen until July eighteenth, 374 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,680 so he's very young for this draft class. He's six foot four, so 375 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,559 two inches shorter than his brother older brother, but he might still be growing 376 00:27:14,599 --> 00:27:18,000 as well. And he had fifty one points in sixty one games in the 377 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,359 USHL this season, which was a little bit better than his brother had in 378 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,519 his draft seasons. He seems very raw. Last season he was playing at 379 00:27:25,519 --> 00:27:27,799 the U seventeen and U eighteen level in Belarus and so he came over. 380 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:30,960 So maybe on like your deeper leagues. That's an interesting one. Plus, 381 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,400 I just think it's fun that he gets to play for the same organization as 382 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,680 his brother, and I think that could only have been helpful to have that 383 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:44,319 mentorship and to have that belief in the organization that you get when you have 384 00:27:44,319 --> 00:27:48,079 a family member in there. I just wanted to be in the same organization 385 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,400 with the brother. Yeah, And when Cap saym Andam was I was surprisedly 386 00:27:52,519 --> 00:27:55,480 so much because I don't know, I didn't know. I go so like 387 00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:02,759 you guys ever played again? No or just practice like yeah he's here. 388 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:07,839 Yeah. And New Jersey trade the peak he told me when I when I 389 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,160 was in my draft and that was the same thing. New Georgy trade the 390 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,720 peak with capitals and when they say the more Baccaneers, Yeah, I just 391 00:28:14,839 --> 00:28:18,480 was so happy. What has he told you about Washington and new organization? 392 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:23,240 Only good things, only positive things, because he loved this organotation, organization. 393 00:28:23,279 --> 00:28:27,680 He told about a fantastic fans, best in the league about the city. 394 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,440 Yeah, I know, it's unbelievable. He told me, only good 395 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,279 things. Your own career, I think you played at sy and the Western 396 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,319 Yeah, you're in the us AHL. What was it when your choice to 397 00:28:40,359 --> 00:28:42,440 the Moin? But during the last year, adviser ask who told me you 398 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,480 have offered from the Moin And they decided to go to the North America. 399 00:28:45,519 --> 00:28:48,559 Because I have a great example in front of my eye, this brother who 400 00:28:48,559 --> 00:28:52,680 has success in the North America. And I decided to go to the Morning 401 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,359 and I have a great season, a believables in there. It was a 402 00:28:56,359 --> 00:29:02,759 great group of guys. So in development next week hour with brother will home. 403 00:29:02,839 --> 00:29:06,799 He needs to he'll work at home to be ready for next season. 404 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,480 How do you describe your game? I think the big point of my game 405 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,880 that's hockey sounds, hockey IQ. Yeah, I want to be one help 406 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,799 team to win and want to coach. Trust me every citation on ice and 407 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,920 we are up or down one five on five every citations next ye, I 408 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:27,000 think skating in speed, that's like the best aspect I need to work on 409 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:32,240 going through this process. Some of the best advice hecta with them as far 410 00:29:32,279 --> 00:29:36,319 as just kind of handle the ups and downs and come to drive. Okay, 411 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:37,920 you just don't enjoy it. Enjoy it. There's a special moment and 412 00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,440 what will happens to what happens and it's just a little moment. And he 413 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:49,079 said enjoyed. No, unfortunately we don't get our visa at that moment. 414 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,440 Yeah, but we're watching that and definitely cat kicking. We were so happy. 415 00:29:53,119 --> 00:29:56,720 You see, alecting is grown. The absence. I think be more 416 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,160 exciting to bring you to the page too. I want to. Yeah. 417 00:30:00,359 --> 00:30:03,839 Yeah, it's a great organization. How you can see he's dropped a lot. 418 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:08,039 He's development so fast and I'm so happy to jog to this organization. 419 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:12,279 I hope I will have to say the same success with team some really cool 420 00:30:12,319 --> 00:30:17,039 storylines. I'm sure there's more that we can get to. We, as 421 00:30:17,079 --> 00:30:18,839 Pete mentioned in the beginning, are running on fumes. It has been an 422 00:30:18,839 --> 00:30:23,920 awesome but exhausting the last few days, trying to chase down all these people 423 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,319 that talk to, getting all these interviews, talking to all the people, 424 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,200 trying to do as much as we can for you, the listener.

Pete, Yeah, it's been hot. I'm looking forward to not 429 00:30:48,119 --> 00:30:53,400 feeling standing on the sun. Yes, but thanks so much.

We're always available. All right, Join now by 433 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,000 Shane Malloy of Hockey Prospecting Radio. How you doing, body doing great? 434 00:31:07,039 --> 00:31:11,240 This is the unbelievable event here. I don't know how the NHL could ever 435 00:31:11,319 --> 00:31:15,000 not do a draft in the sphere. Again, it is the brand awareness 436 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:19,160 that the league's received from this has been outstanding and it's a one event that 437 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,839 the NHL does better than anybody else in sports is our entry draft. So 438 00:31:25,279 --> 00:31:29,759 for me, I think it was just a massive upper deck Grand Slam home 439 00:31:29,839 --> 00:31:33,799 run for the NHL. It's been awesome. The visual asthetics, the appeal, 440 00:31:33,839 --> 00:31:37,440 it's just been incredible. Yeah, for me, it's just like getting 441 00:31:37,319 --> 00:31:41,200 non hockey people to like, they're jumping on social media. They're like they're 442 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,279 making commentary all over the place like how amazing it is, Like you can't 443 00:31:45,359 --> 00:31:49,400 buy that. And for the NHL, it is we're always against the juggernaut 444 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:55,240 of the NFL and NBA and Major League Baseball. For us as an industry, 445 00:31:55,599 --> 00:31:59,720 to get that type of exposure is massive. For so great on the 446 00:31:59,799 --> 00:32:04,279 NAH of taking their risk to be here, because it's they've done a fantastic 447 00:32:04,359 --> 00:32:07,720 job. Absolutely. Let's talk about some of the interesting guys that set out 448 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,359 to you from the first couple of days. So first we'll talk about Trek 449 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:15,440 Parasak, who went seventeenth overall to the Washington Capitals. He's a pretty interesting 450 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,319 player, isn't he certainly, because look, he was a Rooking in the 451 00:32:17,319 --> 00:32:23,359 Western Hockey League and had a ridiculous output in terms of his ability to produce 452 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:28,000 points off you know, whether it be scoring goals or assists. And what 453 00:32:28,119 --> 00:32:31,440 makes him really interesting is he wasn't He's not the biggest guy's six foot maybe 454 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:35,519 one hundred and eighty pounds, but he's not the fastest skater in terms of 455 00:32:35,519 --> 00:32:38,799 straight line speed. But what he is he's very deceptive. He's very elusive 456 00:32:38,839 --> 00:32:43,759 as a skater, and he reminds me a lot of Tyler Toffoli in the 457 00:32:43,799 --> 00:32:47,640 way he operates inside the offensive zone. He finds seams, he finds lanes, 458 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:52,119 he finds open spots only for himself but his teammates. I think his 459 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:57,119 hockey sense is borderline etlite. Like he's so impressive. His puck skills in 460 00:32:57,559 --> 00:33:01,400 small areas is excellent, and he finds to draw defenders in And I'm not 461 00:33:01,519 --> 00:33:05,880 terribly shocked it was the Washington Capitals that jumped out to get him. If 462 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:10,279 you look at Washington Capitals like draft efficiency and success from five to sixteen, 463 00:33:10,759 --> 00:33:14,799 they're in the top four of the NHL, and if they've continued to do 464 00:33:14,839 --> 00:33:20,039 that from sixteen to twenty, so they understand which players that can work well 465 00:33:20,079 --> 00:33:22,359 in their system, and they have a really strong developmental system. And all 466 00:33:22,359 --> 00:33:27,000 this kid needs is a couple of years more than the dub and then probably 467 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,519 a year in American High because he just needs to get bigger, stronger, 468 00:33:29,599 --> 00:33:32,079 and you can get just a little extra pop on that foot speed. But 469 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:36,759 he's a second line player all day long. Yeah, I've heard a lot 470 00:33:36,759 --> 00:33:38,519 of concerns about the foot speed and physicality, but you'd bet on him, 471 00:33:38,559 --> 00:33:40,640 may Yeah, I bet him on Now. I have him in the second 472 00:33:40,759 --> 00:33:44,960 round because I want to mitigate my risk in that respect. But I thought 473 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,720 he was going to be a player that would play two hundred games in the 474 00:33:46,839 --> 00:33:50,799 NHL or more so for me, I thought it was a no brainer. 475 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,559 But I also feel like that kind of threat of me being a score allows 476 00:33:52,599 --> 00:33:55,599 me to become a better playmaker. So I think they tie into each other. 477 00:33:55,599 --> 00:33:59,319 And I would says break in the middle. There we're back people up 478 00:33:59,599 --> 00:34:04,319 the Benchoshi before hm. Now yeah, you might be yeah tobly well, 479 00:34:04,519 --> 00:34:06,839 hopefully get to play with him again down the line, and then yeah, 480 00:34:06,839 --> 00:34:09,280 it could be works what works so well with you too. Yeah, I 481 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:14,159 think just the way we play. I think we just found some chemistry early 482 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,199 is the way we moved parks And obviously he was able to put the pocket 483 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:20,119 of that, that's for sure, with the season he had. And yeah, 484 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,760 just such a competitive, hardworking guy and was able to learn so much 485 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,880 from him in that sense. And yeah, we just we just clicked instantly 486 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:30,519 and we're able to find the chemistry. You mentioned the process the lead from 487 00:34:30,519 --> 00:34:34,400 this age sixteen to the age seventeen season. Do you think that seeing the 488 00:34:34,519 --> 00:34:37,639 results from that is going to motivate you that you're gonna have obviously a couple 489 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:43,320 more level jumps to get to where you've got go having been through that process, 490 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,199 and once feel like it'll be trying to become more naturally to you after 491 00:34:46,199 --> 00:34:50,400 the next couple of NS. Yeah, for sure. I think that's all. 492 00:34:50,559 --> 00:34:52,039 Everything that I have been through so far has been a learning experience. 493 00:34:52,039 --> 00:34:55,519 It's definitely been cut from quite a few teams growing up and taking that all 494 00:34:55,559 --> 00:34:59,559 as a learning experience, and I think that's shaving into the person and player 495 00:34:59,559 --> 00:35:01,960 that I am of. Nothing's ever gonna be given to you after and everything 496 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:07,480 and everything happens for a reason. And so just taking all those things and 497 00:35:07,559 --> 00:35:09,280 being able to face advision like that and hopefully get where I want to be 498 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:13,960 one day. How did you feel about the nickname super Gristy this year. 499 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,920 Yeah, I don't know. It's always he's super cool, addictive. Definitely 500 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:21,760 got old after a while, and I don't love the attention that much like 501 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:27,800 that, but obviously super cool to have a nickname like that. I'm pretty 502 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,000 sure it's just our play by play guy said it after I scored one goal 503 00:35:30,039 --> 00:35:32,280 at the start of the year and I was went on a little bit of 504 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,960 a tear to start there, and I was hot and finally back in the 505 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,599 bad So I think they just started calling me that from that broadcast and it 506 00:35:38,079 --> 00:35:42,360 just cut on, and I think that's everybody calls me that now. So 507 00:35:43,039 --> 00:35:45,840 how much fun was this year? And pretty Steorge is a great season? 508 00:35:45,039 --> 00:35:49,639 Yeah, it was unbelievable that the players we had there, my teammates, 509 00:35:49,679 --> 00:35:52,079 I can be more grateful to have those guys, and the coaching staff is 510 00:35:52,119 --> 00:35:57,280 unbelievable, and the whole organization is so amazing. The fans rallying behind us 511 00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,559 at the end there in the playoffs, it was just unbelief. Season I 512 00:36:00,599 --> 00:36:02,679 can be happier. I think to improve on going forward, I think is 513 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,760 definitely my strength. I think I need to get a lot stronger, get 514 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,000 in the gym, a little bit more fill out in my body. I 515 00:36:08,079 --> 00:36:12,119 think that's a big start for me, and then I think with that will 516 00:36:12,159 --> 00:36:15,599 come my skating as well, be able to build better speed and that sort 517 00:36:15,639 --> 00:36:19,239 of thing sounds good. Another no brainer. Santase Sharks walk up at thirty 518 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,519 third overall and probably take best player available your Centershof one hundred percent with the 519 00:36:22,599 --> 00:36:27,639 kids. An athlete, and he has very good hockey sense, very good 520 00:36:27,679 --> 00:36:30,039 puck skills. There's gonna be a lot of very good in my explanation about 521 00:36:30,119 --> 00:36:35,079 him, but he doesn't have There's not any red flags with him as a 522 00:36:35,119 --> 00:36:37,960 player. And this is as well as anybody when you're trying to evaluate an 523 00:36:38,079 --> 00:36:44,480 athlete and you see somebody who is so athletic and it's going to reduce injuries, 524 00:36:44,559 --> 00:36:47,000 but also it's going to help him as a talent pool compresses that lets 525 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:52,239 them along with his puck skills and its cognitive ability, I think he's going 526 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,599 to be a second line player, no problem in the NHL power play, 527 00:36:55,960 --> 00:37:00,800 and he's going to be able to produce five on five. So I'm a 528 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,159 little surprised he dropped out of the first round, but those things do happen. 529 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,960 There's always going to be a team or two teams that like pull a 530 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,599 guy out that I didn't think we're gonna go there, and and that team 531 00:37:09,679 --> 00:37:14,559 reaps the benefit of it. In his media availability, right after someone asked 532 00:37:14,599 --> 00:37:15,920 him what he modeled his game after, he said, Nathan McKinnon, not 533 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,480 sure he's gonna be quite that level, but what do you think of him? 534 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,360 Liking that sort of style and like the type of player it plays with, 535 00:37:22,559 --> 00:37:25,920 like intensity and high pace, and that's Nathan McKinnon's game, Like he's 536 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:30,199 gonna outpace you and outwork you and be intense. And I think Schernershov has 537 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:34,079 the ability to do that. Of course, I don't think he's gonna put 538 00:37:34,119 --> 00:37:37,800 up those type of productive numbers, but certainly he's a player that if he 539 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,880 was in the sixty point range in his prime years, like twenty four to 540 00:37:42,079 --> 00:37:45,199 thirty, that wouldn't surprise me. Last one that I know you're really interested 541 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:52,360 in Gabriel Eliason, who's a big left hand, left handed d who went 542 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,639 to Ottawa he's a September ninth birthday, so he's super young for this draft 543 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,039 class went thirty ninth. Overall. What do you think of him? I 544 00:37:59,079 --> 00:38:01,440 think he's a Viking. He should replace his helmet with a helmet with horns 545 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:05,280 on it, take away his stick and give him like a battle axe. 546 00:38:05,559 --> 00:38:08,559 Him along with Steian Solberg, they're both Vikings. The one thing about Eliason 547 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:13,960 is there's certain players that hit, and there's certain players hit to hurt and 548 00:38:14,079 --> 00:38:17,280 want to punish you, and he takes actually pride in knocking people out and 549 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:21,199 then he just laughs at them. So there's almost like a kind of a 550 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,760 maniacal aspect of his game. And you look in the playoffs like you need 551 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:30,800 guys like that. He's an intimidating force. So like when forwards go down 552 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,119 and try to retrieve a puck against him, he's going to ensure that you're 553 00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,159 never gonna want to do that ever again. Now, there's gonna be some 554 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:39,599 issues in terms of his puck moving ability. He's got to play that. 555 00:38:39,679 --> 00:38:44,960 He's got to be simple in that respect, and he has to play a 556 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:49,960 very disciplined defensive game because he's a bit of a bit of a hunter in 557 00:38:50,079 --> 00:38:52,239 terms of hitting people. So that's an area that he's going to have to 558 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,119 clean up. But if you look in the playoffs, what kind of defensemen 559 00:38:55,199 --> 00:39:00,039 you need when it gets greasy and dirty. He's it awesome. Thanks so 560 00:39:00,159 --> 00:39:13,119 much, Shane, Thank you very much, thanks for having me. Now 561 00:39:13,199 --> 00:39:15,920 we're back for the second half of the episode. This is Jesse back in 562 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:20,280 the studio once again, and here is what you have to look forward to. 563 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,000 Stephan Rosner, who you recently heard interviewed on one of our team previews, 564 00:39:24,679 --> 00:39:28,760 is coming up next with Camil Bednark is going to be one of the 565 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,159 guys spoken of, Cam Robinson Boy. We got an all star cast here, 566 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:37,599 Victor and Peter Cleaned Up is going to be on and Ze boyem writer 567 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:44,239 Richie Alfonse Frage are all going to be a part of that talk. And 568 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:50,159 then at the end we are going to segment together probably another ten minutes or 569 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:54,199 so of material that doesn't fit cleanly into one of these interviews, and it's 570 00:39:54,280 --> 00:40:00,280 primarily going to be clustered around the general managers. We'll start with Daniel Brier, 571 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:06,239 then Barry Trotz with a little bit of Igor surin interview, and then 572 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,719 finally Trevor Connolly on his own because it was a very interesting interview and we 573 00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:15,239 can't miss out on that. So everybody stay put. Now it's time for 574 00:40:15,519 --> 00:40:19,679 the next interview with Victor. All right here with Stephan Rosner of The Hockey 575 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,679 News talking some Islanders pick. They went with good value twenty ofth overall, 576 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:28,559 Cole Eiserman fifty four, Jesse polkinon, Camille Bennarik got sixty one. So 577 00:40:28,679 --> 00:40:30,719 what did you think of their draft so far? Yeah, I think it's 578 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,519 been good. This is a team that really doesn't have a strong prospect tool 579 00:40:32,559 --> 00:40:36,079 they haven't picked in the first round. This twenty nine team getting Coleismhen. 580 00:40:36,079 --> 00:40:37,840 I think everyone will agree that he did fall in this draft. Who would 581 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,679 take a chance and a really one dimensional guy, pure goalscorer. This is 582 00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:45,519 Islander seen that needs goal scoring and I think just talking to maybe he's a 583 00:40:45,599 --> 00:40:47,599 little cocky, but he sees the game a different way. Lou loved that 584 00:40:47,679 --> 00:40:51,360 about him. He loved that they were open to sing it the way he 585 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:52,320 saw it. And when you got a guy that falls like that, you 586 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:57,519 take that chance every day. Seems like they need to support him with some 587 00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,199 playmakers and some other types of mentioned the prospect poill being a little low. 588 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:05,000 What do you think about and maybe a guy like Benark or what's going to 589 00:41:05,039 --> 00:41:07,400 be around Iman when he's ready to contribute. Yeah, I think Ben Ork's 590 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,039 great one. They played together at US development. They also are going to 591 00:41:10,079 --> 00:41:15,159 college Boston University together, coached by J. Pandolpho and Ben Aric. What 592 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:16,679 he said was he's a two way player. He values that a lot. 593 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,719 He reminded me of a boat hood that a little bit the way he spoke, 594 00:41:20,119 --> 00:41:22,760 but also that he's very mature in that aspect of the game. So 595 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,119 he said he's played with Isman before, the fact that he understands how Ibman 596 00:41:25,199 --> 00:41:27,880 plays. He knows he can get him the puck. Things like that. 597 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,000 Those are the kind of guys you need to run there, Guys that can 598 00:41:30,079 --> 00:41:32,000 make the plays. Play defensively smart to a lot of guys like Iiman's just 599 00:41:32,079 --> 00:41:36,599 focus on what they do best, scoring goals really well on both ends of 600 00:41:36,639 --> 00:41:39,400 the ice. My biggest strength is that two and or four games. I 601 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:44,320 take a lot of pride in doing that and being good defensively. At the 602 00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,880 same time, I can produce offensively as well. So I think that's the 603 00:41:47,119 --> 00:41:51,199 good balance of both worlds. So, yeah, there's a few guys, 604 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:52,840 but I guess the main guy is definitely Patreuce berger On. I don't know. 605 00:41:53,119 --> 00:41:57,440 I'm from Chicago, but he played on the Boston Bruins. But I 606 00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,239 don't know why, but whenever I was younger, I like to watch him 607 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,639 play and I liked how he was responsible, and I think I picked up 608 00:42:02,679 --> 00:42:07,880 that responsible game and that mature game earlier than some other players would have. 609 00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,519 I definitely try to be as good as he is. In my opinion, 610 00:42:10,599 --> 00:42:15,920 I think he was the honestly the best two hundred and two way. Yeah, 611 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:17,519 and polkind have been an overrager. He might be ready a little bit 612 00:42:17,559 --> 00:42:20,800 sooner than later. Maybe get him over pretty soon. Huh Yeah. We 613 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:22,880 asked him his English isn't great, which is all good. He said. 614 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,599 They didn't know if he would stay over there or come come this year. 615 00:42:24,639 --> 00:42:28,760 But big guy, and he's mobile, he said, he's He models the 616 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:30,599 game after Victor Hedman. Obviously it's hard to find a lot of Victor Headmans, 617 00:42:30,639 --> 00:42:34,559 but you watch him. The replay is very decisive, quick motion at 618 00:42:34,559 --> 00:42:37,239 the blue line to do a little shimmy and get around it. The Islanders 619 00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,559 again, mobile defensive defensemen are hard to find. We see Noa Dallason with 620 00:42:39,599 --> 00:42:43,039 the honors right now. He needn't even work on his just getting up the 621 00:42:43,079 --> 00:42:45,760 ice, but getting off from from your back end is really important, especially 622 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:49,679 when your two net struggles to produce and transition. Yeah, then they went 623 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,440 goalie in the fourth and fifth round. They got some other picks coming up, 624 00:42:52,599 --> 00:42:54,920 but that kind of interesting seeing how much they needed like one are you 625 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:58,199 could argue they don't need is in that, but they went goalie. What 626 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,559 do you think about it? Yes, I think you look at Can signed 627 00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,039 another seven years and healed his deal. Another couple one in Varlamo's. But 628 00:43:04,119 --> 00:43:07,159 after that they didn't really have that much goaltending depth and they got a couple 629 00:43:07,199 --> 00:43:10,000 of guys Yakup Scark has pretty much been a failed prospect. Hendrick Titan though 630 00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:14,559 really emerged last year as one of those one of those big guys maybe in 631 00:43:14,599 --> 00:43:16,960 the future is huge. They have Tristan Lennox who has hurt a lot last 632 00:43:17,039 --> 00:43:20,280 year. But they get these two guys. One of them played for CSK 633 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,920 Moscow and the Islanders did hire k kam Moscow's goalie coach to become Bridge sports 634 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:27,400 goalie coach. So I think it's smart to always have goalie depth. Maybe 635 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,599 one of them hits eventually five years down the line. Varlamo's retired and you 636 00:43:30,639 --> 00:43:32,159 need someone you always have it. Also, trade bait. We're seeing stuff 637 00:43:32,199 --> 00:43:36,000 with Nashville right now, and you're never gonna have too many goalies. Again, 638 00:43:36,079 --> 00:43:37,239 look at the draft that's late rounds. We'll see what happens here, 639 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,880 but I think it's it definitely doesn't hurt to bolts of the prositpal and they 640 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:44,400 did it on offense, defense and in the goal. Thanks so much, 641 00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:52,000 seven, no prom Thank you so much. All right. At the draft, 642 00:43:52,159 --> 00:43:55,119 it's the second day. We're at about round five now. I'm sitting 643 00:43:55,199 --> 00:44:00,679 down with the Victor and Cam Robinson from EP Ringside, formerly managing editor of 644 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,480 Dobard Prospects. I like to remind everybody that can I having fun. You 645 00:44:02,559 --> 00:44:05,880 having a good time, buddy. A little blurry here on day two, 646 00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:07,960 but we're having a good time in Vegas. We're near the finish line for 647 00:44:08,119 --> 00:44:12,880 sure. Let's talk about a couple of the guys who have been selected today 648 00:44:13,199 --> 00:44:16,000 and maybe what to the fantasy upside could be on some of these players. 649 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:20,280 So let's start with Zeeve William. He dropped a little bit. I thought 650 00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,880 he would be one of the first defense been taken out of the bunch, 651 00:44:22,119 --> 00:44:24,960 and he was like the last, which I thought was a little surprising. 652 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,960 He goes ends up going to Minnesota and you put out a tweet saying that 653 00:44:29,119 --> 00:44:31,639 there the pair of him in Rock Faber are are going to be something special 654 00:44:31,679 --> 00:44:35,840 for a long time. What's the fantasy upside of William going to Minnesota? 655 00:44:36,639 --> 00:44:40,239 They don't have that pure power play quarterback and I identified him as a player, 656 00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,800 It's maybe he's not your power play one guy. He put up fifty 657 00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:45,679 points in forty two games of Denver this year. He played a central role 658 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:49,960 in a national championship winning team, played a big role for USA at the 659 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,440 World Juniors gold medal kids a winner, excellent two way guy. But I'm 660 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:59,119 not sure the production at college is really indicative of the type of player he's 661 00:44:59,159 --> 00:45:00,800 going to be in the NHL and like a fantasy player, so I don't 662 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:05,760 project him to be like that seventy plus point defenceman. But I have had 663 00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,480 some pushback from other scouts who you know my kind of knock on woolliham in 664 00:45:08,559 --> 00:45:13,519 it for the elite points is that he doesn't have like electric feet. He's 665 00:45:13,559 --> 00:45:15,519 not mccar or Hughes or Mira Hayskin, eric guys like that. But I'm 666 00:45:15,599 --> 00:45:20,719 quickly reminded by some people that, yeah, neither's Adam Fox. So does 667 00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,840 he have that level of potential. Maybe he could have that kind of juice 668 00:45:24,199 --> 00:45:27,920 at the very top end, but more likely, I think he's a very 669 00:45:28,039 --> 00:45:32,079 useful piece that fifth. Minnesota uses him on the top power play, then 670 00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:36,119 he's going to be a guy who could put up fifty to sixty points. 671 00:45:36,599 --> 00:45:39,480 If he's more your secondary offensive catalyst, then he's going to be more mutian. 672 00:45:39,519 --> 00:45:42,840 It's gonna be like thirty five forty forty five points, which is still 673 00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,000 very valuable because of this all round aspect for the fantasy world. I think 674 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,840 we need to wait and see where he lands long term. But just a 675 00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,719 great pick there from Minnesota, and I know they're doing backflips grabbing him. 676 00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,079 That's the best in the world, and I'm going to be able to be 677 00:45:53,119 --> 00:45:58,840 in Minnison a while kind of interesting where you go probably live and expected book 678 00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:04,199 the team trade up goods to be that guy for sure. Yeah, seeing 679 00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:06,360 him trade up I had a pretty good feeling that it could be me, 680 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,159 and yeah, it couldn't be more honored for them to make that decision to 681 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:12,960 get me. Do you think the world were Oh yeah, I knew. 682 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,480 We had some good conversations, nothing too crazy, but definitely there was some 683 00:46:15,599 --> 00:46:25,159 interest there. I don't know you're gonna breaks. Yeah, it's awesome. 684 00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:29,400 I think it's super cool. We won the NCHD Championship as well there. 685 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:37,760 To win two championships in that building already feels feels really good. I think 686 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:39,960 obviously I want to improve on everything. Still young, you can still I 687 00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:44,159 prove on everything. I want to can work on my consistency defensively, But 688 00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,079 I think the biggest thing is for me is my hot accus is probably the 689 00:46:46,159 --> 00:46:49,960 biggest thing that will translate to the best. That's probably the biggest thing. 690 00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:53,440 We talked about your coming into the program at the us HL and happening to 691 00:46:53,519 --> 00:46:57,840 Brian to become them power play guy. Are you going to use that experience 692 00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,320 in the us HL now that you're the new guys? So yeah, I'm 693 00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:04,639 just gonna come to obviously go there and have the same mentality that I got 694 00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,320 to work for everything and earn every opportunity for me. I'm gonna I'm gonna 695 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,239 continue to do what I do best and just work as hard as I can. 696 00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:13,639 Like, I just felt so special to hug my mom, ug my 697 00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,039 dad. They made so many sacrifices for my brothers and I and to hug 698 00:47:16,119 --> 00:47:20,280 them was so special. And then to hug my two brothers who mentored me 699 00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:22,760 this entire time, it feels even better. So it's it's a moment that 700 00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:28,000 I can't fully explain, but it was. It was awesome. Family. 701 00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,239 Yeah, not from Israel, but we have a couple from Israel, and 702 00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:36,119 then a lot of friends and family that they came to support me. I 703 00:47:36,159 --> 00:47:38,400 spent two years at Chattick Saint Mary's at the Fairbell, Minnesota. Spent a 704 00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:43,119 whole summer at Lake Minnetonka as well. So I love Lake Minatanka. I'd 705 00:47:43,199 --> 00:47:45,719 rather spend the time there than on the beach of California. Yeah, super 706 00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:50,559 pumped to be Minnesota. Weile we went to a couple anytime we could. 707 00:47:50,599 --> 00:47:57,320 I would try to go, but not too many fisticated to the Yeah. 708 00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,760 Everything I think for me is he's the best coach ever had and the best 709 00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:01,599 coach college hockey and he's gonna be a great coach hl and Dad. He's 710 00:48:01,639 --> 00:48:04,960 meant so much to me, my brother and my family, and I'm so 711 00:48:05,039 --> 00:48:08,400 grateful for him. Did you, guys, I don't know if you've thought 712 00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:12,199 about maybe playing with him one day. I know it's a really quick Yeah, 713 00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,880 that would be. That would be awesome. I think that'd be something 714 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,159 I could dream about. Yeah, he's obviously a stud and such a great 715 00:48:17,199 --> 00:48:21,119 player. Yeah, that'd be it'd be awesome. I just kind of want 716 00:48:21,159 --> 00:48:23,320 to ask you about Cole Aisaman going a little bit later than maybe some thought, 717 00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:28,239 but he might literally be on an island out there in New York with 718 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:30,880 quite literally with the rest of the prospectful but pretty good grab for them, 719 00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:35,519 eh. The Islanders no a thing or two about getting enigmatic scores out of 720 00:48:35,559 --> 00:48:39,360 the program, right, So key for Bellows swinging a miss, Oliver Wallstrom 721 00:48:39,559 --> 00:48:45,000 swinging a miss three times a charm with Coliserman three worst right, three? 722 00:48:45,159 --> 00:48:47,199 I really did Wallstrom. I learned a lot from that from liking him though, 723 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:51,159 And it's like twenty very much in the realm of take a cut on 724 00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,679 Cole Eisman, because best goal scorer in the class and he does have some 725 00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:59,400 jam like he he has burgeoning power forward capabilities. That's just whether you can 726 00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:01,719 like unlock that full time for him and really motivate him and light a fire 727 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:05,760 under his ass range of outcomes for him is so massive, like he could 728 00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:09,920 be like an every year thirty five plus goal scorer, dominant on the power 729 00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:15,599 play, physically engaged, or maybe he's a quad a guy who gets like 730 00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:19,320 some time and bounces around. But I did have one I'd want NHL or 731 00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,760 teamside guy tell me that he reminds him of JT. Miller and not it 732 00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:28,800 all in stylistically, but as like a player with the level of skill that 733 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,039 Miller had went middle of the first round in his draft year, a little 734 00:49:31,039 --> 00:49:35,039 immature, didn't have the work ethic. Maybe he didn't stay in the best 735 00:49:35,119 --> 00:49:37,960 shape early on, staying out late and it took him two teams, right, 736 00:49:38,039 --> 00:49:42,159 he had to move a couple of times before he really found his spot 737 00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:44,960 and now obviously now a one hundred point guy in Vancouver year over year. 738 00:49:45,079 --> 00:49:47,440 Maybe Iiserman finds success in his mid to late twenties on his third team. 739 00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:51,760 So yeah, it's he's a complete Wilid card. Yeah, my concern with 740 00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:52,960 him is like there is. There is a wide range of poinential. It 741 00:49:53,079 --> 00:49:57,199 comes like you said, and are we going to see the best version of 742 00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:00,119 Cole Eiserman now that he's being drafted and developed by the New York Islanders. 743 00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:06,199 They don't have that. From my understanding, it's not a very hands on 744 00:50:06,519 --> 00:50:09,239 developmental model that they have there. They let the players sort it out themselves. 745 00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:13,599 So I think he actually needs a lot of refinement and a lot of 746 00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:17,159 control to turn him into the best potential player he can be. He's going 747 00:50:17,199 --> 00:50:21,280 to be you it's a good program. Yeah, he's going to have to 748 00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:24,679 clean up some of those mistakes in order to just really transition and handle the 749 00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:28,280 riggers of the NCAA. I mean, he's good enough that he could probably 750 00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,639 still cheat his way to some big point totals, but that won't happen when 751 00:50:30,639 --> 00:50:32,840 he gets to the NHL, So he's going to have to figure it out. 752 00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:37,960 And he's a competitive kid. He's fiery in that regard, So I 753 00:50:38,039 --> 00:50:40,719 think he just needs to diversify his game a little bit because when he has 754 00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:43,920 the puck on his stick, everybody knows what he's gonna do. Right, 755 00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:45,119 He's gonna shooting it, whether it's in a shin pads or it's into the 756 00:50:45,159 --> 00:50:49,039 back of the net, but he's not going to see the passing options that 757 00:50:49,119 --> 00:50:51,639 he should all the time. So yeah, he needs to round out that 758 00:50:51,679 --> 00:50:54,199 offensive game and then just really keep it fire. And there's definitely upside, 759 00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:58,320 especially at that spot, and it's worthy. All right, last one and 760 00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,719 then we'll let you get back out there. And I've been talking to a 761 00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:04,119 lot of people and talking a lot on our show about Trek Parasak, and 762 00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:07,480 we were a little surprised that he went in the first round. I had 763 00:51:07,519 --> 00:51:10,920 him as a first round fantasy option. What's the fantasy upside looking like for 764 00:51:12,199 --> 00:51:15,599 Parasak going in the first round? The way he did not a traditional first 765 00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:20,320 round or based on size, speed, skill, I wouldn't say maybe skill, 766 00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:24,000 but it's so opportunistic. That's the name of the game with him is 767 00:51:24,079 --> 00:51:29,119 that whenever I would see him live, I think only one time was I 768 00:51:29,199 --> 00:51:31,599 really like impressed with what I saw, and he had five primary points. 769 00:51:32,039 --> 00:51:36,320 And then every other time I saw him it was just cue would be a 770 00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:38,599 bit invisible or whatever, and then he'd catch a breakaway pass and go burn 771 00:51:38,639 --> 00:51:40,880 a goal. He just finds a way to hit the score. She'd take 772 00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:44,280 a step into the Western League this year and score whatever it was, forty 773 00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:46,599 two to forty three goals if it wasn't for McKenna. He's the rookie of 774 00:51:46,599 --> 00:51:51,320 the year and the dub. Yes, he's highly insulated in Prince George there 775 00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:53,639 with a couple older kids, Zach Funk scoring a goal game, Andre Becker 776 00:51:53,679 --> 00:51:57,320 who just got drafted this year as an overage or he's putting up a monster 777 00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:00,079 season nearly a hundred points. They had who else that have Cohen Zeemer, 778 00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:04,320 they had Riley height, like they have a lot of high end players there 779 00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:06,679 that so he didn't have to be a focal point and that's how he could 780 00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:08,599 just slip under the radar a little bit, I think against the defensive matchups 781 00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:12,280 and find a way to score. So you know, he went earlier than 782 00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:15,119 I thought he would, Washington taking him in the mid teens there. But 783 00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,159 you know, analytically, you know he's a darling. So it's like the 784 00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:22,239 production is very clearly a first round player, but the size and speed maybe 785 00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:24,239 doesn't indicate that he's going to be that level of player long term. But 786 00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:29,199 you know, again as a fantasy look probably a first round pick. Washington 787 00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,400 does have a pretty good track record of player development as well, so that's 788 00:52:32,519 --> 00:52:36,639 nice. Yeah, I haven't hated what Washington's done with the trades and some 789 00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:39,440 of their picks. It's they're an interesting team to watch as they try to 790 00:52:39,559 --> 00:52:45,280 navigate not falling down all the way. They're doing the retool versus the rebuild, 791 00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:46,599 So they'll be one to watch for sure. All right, Man, 792 00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,840 to get back to the draft and the NaSTA drinks. Awesome, sounds good, 793 00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:52,239 but any thing right? All Right, we're standing out here in the 794 00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:54,639 sun in Vegas, but we're awesome. We're so happy to be joined by 795 00:52:54,679 --> 00:52:59,320 Jill Henderson, Puck Preps, will scout scouting Pete here as well. How 796 00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:00,960 you guys doing, How do you enjoy the draft? It was a lot 797 00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:01,679 of fun. I thought it was great experience. I hope they do it 798 00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:04,719 again here. It was a lot of fun. I've never seen anything like 799 00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,679 that before, but a lot of fun. I think it was just another 800 00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:09,920 solid in NHL draft. What about you, Joe, This is the first 801 00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:15,039 draft that I got to experience doing a WHL draft for these kids, So 802 00:53:15,199 --> 00:53:17,000 knowing the kids all through by the time they're fifteen, up to this draft, 803 00:53:17,039 --> 00:53:20,239 so there's a little bit more special for me. So seeing the names 804 00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,239 come off the board, it was really fun cheering for them on the low 805 00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,920 key. Yeah, we got some guys that I know you guys wanted to 806 00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:29,119 talk about. Let's start with you, Will. I know that you're a 807 00:53:29,159 --> 00:53:30,480 big fan of Teddy C guy. I think you had him in the top 808 00:53:30,559 --> 00:53:35,000 five on your board. He went a bit later than that, a fifty 809 00:53:35,079 --> 00:53:37,599 fifth overall. But still, what do you like so much about this guy? 810 00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:38,639 Well, it just brings everything right. It's just a high paced, 811 00:53:38,679 --> 00:53:42,880 high energy guy. Physical, doesn't really back down from nothing. But he 812 00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:45,239 has some skill, He's got some offense to him. I think he showcased 813 00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:49,159 a lot of that. The underteens played really well off of James Haggins. 814 00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,599 I think those two boosted each other really well. I don't know exactly what 815 00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:53,800 dropped him all the way to the end of the second round, but I 816 00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:57,880 don't really care. I think he's just a really well rounded, high end 817 00:53:58,159 --> 00:54:00,320 guy who brings a lot to the game. I totally agree with you, 818 00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:05,480 and I think that the fact that he got picked so late makes him a 819 00:54:05,519 --> 00:54:08,760 really good fantasy sleeper, right like a player who has way more potential than 820 00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:15,119 where his draft position suggests. And if you're in my league, of course, 821 00:54:15,199 --> 00:54:21,599 don't paying attention to me, Joel this get your WHL expertise on here. 822 00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:23,400 You just talked about a whole bunch of guys. You've been following them 823 00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:28,519 since your draft class. They slotted probably right around where you were thinking. 824 00:54:28,559 --> 00:54:30,960 I think you were suggesting, yeah, not too far away. Yeah, 825 00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:35,320 who's the guy that's maybe out of the first round, that's got some fantasy 826 00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:37,639 value that you think is a little underrated. I don't know what auto rated. 827 00:54:37,679 --> 00:54:39,559 These are guys that always, you know, I've been on the radars 828 00:54:39,559 --> 00:54:43,480 forever. But the three forwards, I think I was very curious to see 829 00:54:43,519 --> 00:54:45,199 how far apart that they would go from each other, and they really didn't 830 00:54:45,199 --> 00:54:49,280 go very far apart. And so it was just Bash Andrew, Basha, 831 00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:52,599 Tannerhouan Rader, Richie and these are all guys that could be play on third 832 00:54:52,639 --> 00:54:54,079 lines across the league one day. They bring a little bit of finesse, 833 00:54:54,119 --> 00:54:57,840 a little bit of battle along the boards, they can bring that offense like 834 00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,800 these are all guys that can provide potentially up to forty points in a season 835 00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:04,519 for teams. So I think those are the guys that you're hoping you can 836 00:55:04,559 --> 00:55:07,440 push out of that second round, jumble the top the top half of the 837 00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:09,599 second round into being full time guys for you in the NHL. And I 838 00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:12,960 like all those three guys. I had all of them in the range and 839 00:55:13,119 --> 00:55:15,320 take your pick which one fits your group very well? And you know there 840 00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:21,159 they all could be good players, right or Richie and Minnesota Quadi Metoma, 841 00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:27,800 I was on knee collision whatever, Right, Mary, You've got a great 842 00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:31,320 success in princeps the whole three years the house playing the Raiders, right, 843 00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:36,239 Yeah, I think it's helped a lot. I think coming into a young 844 00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:38,800 team when I was sixteen, I got a lot of opportunity. I earned 845 00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:42,920 a lot of ice time, I got gum and power play. So I 846 00:55:43,039 --> 00:55:45,599 think I've been growing my game a lot there, just taking big moments playing 847 00:55:45,639 --> 00:55:49,480 it, playing and playing a lot of big minutes, especially at a young 848 00:55:49,559 --> 00:55:52,920 age. I think it's helping. And yeah, I'm thankful for Prince Albert. 849 00:55:52,920 --> 00:56:00,880 I couldn't be here without them for sure. Yeah, it was great 850 00:56:01,039 --> 00:56:04,559 having the playoffs I did. I thought that was some of my best hockey 851 00:56:04,599 --> 00:56:07,000 of the year. And then also going to the World to winning it was 852 00:56:07,119 --> 00:56:09,599 it was awesome. So I think that really helped my confidence, and yeah, 853 00:56:09,599 --> 00:56:16,679 I feel good. Origin Yeah, I wanted to be a goalie until 854 00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:21,679 I played goalie for practice once my dad was out and he ripped one off 855 00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:24,840 my chest and it hurt pretty bad. So I've never wanted to put on 856 00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:30,199 the pass ever since then. Your dad different, very different. He's more 857 00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:34,719 of a two hundred foot center, really good skater, really strong. I 858 00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:37,679 have a couple more inches on him. I think. I think I'm more 859 00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:43,199 offensively gifted, So I would say that about our game. He'd fight and 860 00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:51,119 stuff. I'm not fighting yet, but I would have been seven, I 861 00:56:51,199 --> 00:56:53,360 think, Yeah, I was young. Two of them went to Pittsburgh. 862 00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:58,400 That's neat, And does the team that drafted any of those guys you just 863 00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:00,559 talked about, does that move the needle upward down at all for their fantasy 864 00:57:00,639 --> 00:57:05,920 value? Thin because some team's got a better track record or prospect pools are 865 00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:09,039 a little bit more shallow and it's less roster competition. Maybe. Yeah. 866 00:57:09,079 --> 00:57:12,440 I think with Tanner how going to Pittsburgh, I think that's a great fit. 867 00:57:12,519 --> 00:57:15,599 They've had multiple guys in there that can provide that smarts and skill and 868 00:57:15,679 --> 00:57:19,440 shot from the wing. They've had some guys that have been filling those guys. 869 00:57:19,519 --> 00:57:22,079 He's a Brian rust player. He's a guy that can really move up 870 00:57:22,119 --> 00:57:24,760 the lineup depending right and I think he's more of a third line talent guy 871 00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:28,239 that could move up the roster in the right spot because he can fill in 872 00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:30,239 gaps. We saw it with Connor Brigard and then with the Flames too, 873 00:57:30,239 --> 00:57:34,559 and they're completely rebuilding their roster and the one thing that they got in Andrew 874 00:57:34,599 --> 00:57:37,000 Basha is speed. It's speed on the wing. Like he's a smart player. 875 00:57:37,079 --> 00:57:39,119 They have a whole bunch of guys there, but they don't have any 876 00:57:39,159 --> 00:57:43,400 guy that really has the speed of Basha. So he brings that element that 877 00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:46,400 could move him up that lineup too. All right, well, we're gonna 878 00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:51,840 go back to you. And alfhounds Free is one of the top offensive defenseman 879 00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:53,960 who went a little bit later. He went thirty seven to Winnipeg and his 880 00:57:54,039 --> 00:57:58,360 media availability, he described himself as a two way guy that leans more offense. 881 00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:00,199 How high do you think that offense can and how much can it translate 882 00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:04,599 to NHL and fantasy. I think it's about as high as you can find. 883 00:58:04,719 --> 00:58:06,599 I look at the way that he generates offense, and I think that 884 00:58:06,679 --> 00:58:10,000 there's a really good example of a modern offensive defenseman there, with the sort 885 00:58:10,039 --> 00:58:14,480 of footwork and the skill level and just how high energy he is on the 886 00:58:14,519 --> 00:58:17,519 blue line, especially in the offensive zone, and really creative pushes in the 887 00:58:17,599 --> 00:58:22,199 offensive zone. And I think in a way that most guys this year didn't, 888 00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:24,320 especially the sort of Canadian North American guys who scored a lot of points, 889 00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:27,800 and I just think he brings something else to that. And I think 890 00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:30,880 he also is a guy who does bring some two way ability, especially defending 891 00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:35,239 a little aggressively in the neutral zone and the defensive zone maybe need a bit 892 00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:37,519 of work, but he generally avoids playing there in the first place with how 893 00:58:37,559 --> 00:58:40,639 he plays in the neutral zone woon neutral zone, and I think there's a 894 00:58:40,679 --> 00:58:44,360 lot of value there. And yeah, if you're looking for offense, he's 895 00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:46,239 a guy I'm certainly willing to bet on, especially in the thirty to forty 896 00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:52,480 range. Alfonse Free Winnipeg, maybe the Babe Wagner or other. I think 897 00:58:52,519 --> 00:58:54,360 there's a few Swedish prospects in the system. Are you familiar with any of 898 00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:59,119 the other ones as well, not familiar just with Zelias. So yeah, 899 00:58:59,239 --> 00:59:01,639 how would you describe I would describe my game as a two A defender that 900 00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:07,960 is like more offensive to have have the park, good skinning ability to set 901 00:59:07,039 --> 00:59:09,320 up my team is in good position out there, as I said, to 902 00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:15,000 have the park on my blade. But the season, yeah, I'm being 903 00:59:15,039 --> 00:59:19,800 loaned out from the highest level in in Sweden, shl. I'm being loaned 904 00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:22,639 out to the second tier in Sweden for pure clean Yeah, and they think 905 00:59:22,679 --> 00:59:27,719 about that is to to get the minutes in power play five or five in 906 00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:30,800 box play as well, and I think that's a pretty pretty smart move for 907 00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:37,559 me become your passion. My dad has has played hockey as well. That's 908 00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:43,000 that's why I started. Yeah, he has always been been on my way 909 00:59:43,039 --> 00:59:47,880 and and stuff like that. So that's that's pretty cool. Peter Frey not 910 00:59:49,239 --> 00:59:53,280 not on the highest level in Sweden. It was like probably third fourth division 911 00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:59,039 in Sweden, so it's nothing specially about it. You get to see him 912 00:59:59,079 --> 01:00:04,639 player, yeah, every day, so yeah, from morning the night was 913 01:00:04,719 --> 01:00:08,360 at the rink with him and spend time there. He has been my coach 914 01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:14,480 as well, so that's pretty cool. Night. Also, your last name 915 01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:17,199 yeah, I've been here for three days now. I was on a camp 916 01:00:17,599 --> 01:00:22,079 with my agency for yeah, one week ago in Toronto, but yeah, 917 01:00:22,199 --> 01:00:27,480 came here three days ago, like my agent had told me for twenty to 918 01:00:27,559 --> 01:00:30,199 forty. So that was my expectations. Yeah, I would say, of 919 01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:35,119 course, be more more able to do like better things in the O zone. 920 01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,039 But yeah, my my defensive game, I would say, and needs 921 01:00:37,079 --> 01:00:39,760 to step up, use my size a bit more. Like I know, 922 01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:43,920 I got such a good skalning ability, but to use my size a bit 923 01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:47,320 more, especially now when I'm playing with men. So yeah, skating always 924 01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:52,320 a strength I've worked Yeah, since I was a little kid, like every 925 01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:54,679 day, but it has always been like my strength. But yeah, I've 926 01:00:54,719 --> 01:00:58,599 worked on it a lot as well. Have my favorite defenseman or somebody who 927 01:00:58,599 --> 01:01:01,000 looked up to every one of Yeah, Queen Queen News has always been like 928 01:01:01,119 --> 01:01:06,280 my my favorite defenseman in NHL. But when I was like a little kid, 929 01:01:06,519 --> 01:01:12,559 watched Eric Carlson Victor headman. Yeah, of course, that's one one 930 01:01:12,599 --> 01:01:15,519 of my goals to be able to play that this season. As I said 931 01:01:15,559 --> 01:01:20,800 earlier, I'm trying to be more. I would I say it'd be better 932 01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:22,880 at that to use my size a bit more. Good, I got pretty 933 01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:27,480 good size. Yeah, use my size a bit more and be more physical. 934 01:01:27,599 --> 01:01:31,239 Do you have any questions that you remember? Oh yeah, yeah, 935 01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:36,920 probably my Uber rating and my snap score. Yeah that was I don't know 936 01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:38,760 why they asked me that, but it was pretty pretty fun. What did 937 01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:42,920 you say? What's the raider? We don't have like uber in Sweden, 938 01:01:44,239 --> 01:01:46,079 so I couldn't answer, but yeah, I don't know. My my snap 939 01:01:46,119 --> 01:01:50,000 score was like probably one million. That was pretty much. I would say 940 01:01:50,239 --> 01:01:52,400 that was my answers. Can one more guy for you? Joe from the 941 01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:59,280 Got Julius Mitnen was drafted by the Seattle Kraken in second round. I want 942 01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:02,800 to say, yep, fortieth overall. You know he's a big winger, 943 01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:08,239 forward, point a game guy in the WHL. What's it comparable from previous 944 01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:13,159 drafts maybe or someone you? How are you projecting him? What a fantasy 945 01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,400 people who have him on their radar, what should they expect? I think 946 01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:19,440 basically, if you're trying to project him to the NHL, you have to 947 01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:22,280 get him more accustomed to the North American game, which means that his physicality 948 01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:24,920 and his ability to kind of rub shoulders along the boards and needs to be 949 01:02:25,079 --> 01:02:29,920 way more consistent. If you can get that a guy with his length of 950 01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:32,280 stride, smart's finesse, his touch, if you can get him to be 951 01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:36,599 more aggressive and to be stopping more players as much as he can be able 952 01:02:36,679 --> 01:02:39,199 to finish plays, I think right now for me, he's a similar player 953 01:02:39,239 --> 01:02:43,920 to a Christian vessel Linen, somebody who came into the NHL but really couldn't 954 01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:45,760 find his place. And so I think with Julius, if you can get 955 01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:50,760 him to be more aggressive, get more into players' faces, not back down 956 01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:54,880 more consistently, He's got all sorts of skills to be able to potentially project, 957 01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:58,760 but he does have to change his game in altar. But the finesse 958 01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:02,239 is there, the smarts is there, skatings there. So an auto draft 959 01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:06,599 player if you miss your draft, and if you get that, then you 960 01:03:06,639 --> 01:03:09,400 should trade him because his value is not going to go in the direction you 961 01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:14,760 want. I think the reality is that there's a lot of players in this 962 01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:19,639 second round where it's just the second round is about players with huge tools in 963 01:03:19,719 --> 01:03:22,760 huge upside that have to they have to now adapt to play pro, and 964 01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:25,639 it's playing pro in North America is a very interesting one. And there's a 965 01:03:25,679 --> 01:03:29,400 lot of players like this. I think you mentioned Ottawa. I think Zako 966 01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:31,360 Stapchek is one that's that he had to learn. He had tons of an 967 01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:35,880 ass tons of skill and he had to learn how to adapt his game to 968 01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:37,519 be a full time NHL and we'll see. He's a player that had a 969 01:03:37,639 --> 01:03:40,960 huge upside. And I think Vietnen is somewhere in that mold. Yeah, 970 01:03:42,239 --> 01:03:44,880 that's the second time I've heard that statement today, That second round and on 971 01:03:45,039 --> 01:03:49,519 guy's got to need to adapt their game in order to make it. That's 972 01:03:49,599 --> 01:03:53,239 interesting. All right. One more for you, and that is William Villeneuve. 973 01:03:53,559 --> 01:04:00,880 He's he got taken sixty third overall by Seattle. His he was rated 974 01:04:00,079 --> 01:04:03,000 a little bit lower by a lot of outlets. Third maybe even fourth round 975 01:04:03,079 --> 01:04:06,719 kind of guy. He's a five to eleven or ninety four pounds center wing. 976 01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:10,760 What do you think about him and his prospects. I think he's just 977 01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:13,480 going to get better from here. He's a guy who I watched in Sudbury 978 01:04:13,519 --> 01:04:16,480 a ton this year and I think, especially for an all around guy who 979 01:04:16,519 --> 01:04:18,480 can crash and bang in the NHL, I think there's going to be a 980 01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:21,800 guy there He's got some real high end pace in his game. He's got 981 01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:25,320 a lot of skill for a guy who may not have scored a ton this 982 01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:28,960 year, but he's physical. Man, he really gives her. There's a 983 01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:31,039 lot of physicality in his game, almost to a fault, I would say, 984 01:04:31,119 --> 01:04:34,400 but I think it's a way that I think an NHL team really saw 985 01:04:34,440 --> 01:04:38,199 in Seattle. I don't doubt a lot of what they do. And a 986 01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:41,719 lead second round pick for a guy who might be a bottom six center or 987 01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:45,599 maybe a winger who can just battle and grind and has some skill, I 988 01:04:45,599 --> 01:04:47,360 don't know. I've liked Villeneuve all year, more than I thought I would, 989 01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:49,719 And yeah, I was pleasantly surprised to see him pick there. And 990 01:04:50,039 --> 01:04:54,199 yeah, I think Seattle did well. Has Zamra a little bit more upside 991 01:04:54,239 --> 01:04:56,960 for points there? What do you think is kind of ceiling is there? 992 01:04:57,320 --> 01:04:59,920 I think so, because I think the big fault with him, at least 993 01:05:00,039 --> 01:05:02,599 in my experience, was he's a guy who plays really really rambunctious game, 994 01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:06,159 really high energy, but just doesn't get to scoring areas a whole lot. 995 01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:10,320 You know, he can fight guys off, but he just doesn't quite get 996 01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:12,920 inside as much. And I think the more he does that, the better 997 01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:16,239 off he'll be because around the perimeter and just for checking and pinning guys in 998 01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:19,480 the offensive zone, he does that so well. And it's just such a 999 01:05:19,519 --> 01:05:23,519 physical dude that I don't know, I feel like there's got to be something 1000 01:05:23,559 --> 01:05:25,719 for him. You give him a few years in the OHL, he'll play 1001 01:05:25,719 --> 01:05:28,760 a ton of minutes. I don't know. I've really enjoyed him and where 1002 01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:31,920 he went I think makes a lot of sense. Hey, thanks guys, 1003 01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:36,880 letting you guys got some post draft work coming out that listeners can can look 1004 01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:41,559 for. Yeah, so if anyone subscribed to Buck Preps that we basically have 1005 01:05:41,639 --> 01:05:44,119 our up to date profiles on those sorts of things, we'll probably do my 1006 01:05:44,199 --> 01:05:45,960 sense of a coverage from this. But the reality is there's players who are 1007 01:05:46,079 --> 01:05:50,519 that got picked from the BCCHL going to Clarkson and other places around and there's 1008 01:05:50,559 --> 01:05:55,159 just a it's a wonderful group of kids that it's just seemed like it made 1009 01:05:55,199 --> 01:05:57,480 sense from the West forst. If you want to know more about these types 1010 01:05:57,519 --> 01:06:00,280 of players, their long term projections, where they've come from, you can 1011 01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:01,800 see scouting reports from two to three years ago on a lot of these guys 1012 01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:05,239 as well. Head over to Puck perhaps find yourself a monthly subscription and and 1013 01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:10,159 find all the value there about you Scotch. I'm also at puck Creps as 1014 01:06:10,199 --> 01:06:12,119 well. I would say if you want to get a lead on maybe the 1015 01:06:12,159 --> 01:06:14,320 next year's draft in the year after, you can also check that out. 1016 01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:15,960 We've got summer coverage of camps and everything coming out there. But for me 1017 01:06:16,039 --> 01:06:19,679 and I'll be doing a video series on every team who they pick. I've 1018 01:06:19,679 --> 01:06:23,920 got to take some time to go through it all and break man. Yeah, 1019 01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:25,840 take a little bit of while go and watch all the guys. There's 1020 01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:28,239 a bunch of guys that got picked that I have not seen enough of to 1021 01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:30,039 really know what I'm talking about. So it'll take some time to get through 1022 01:06:30,079 --> 01:06:32,679 that. And but there that'll be coming soon and then we're gonna have stuff 1023 01:06:32,679 --> 01:06:35,280 coming out all summer for sure. Awesome, Thanks so much, guys. 1024 01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:44,719 Thanks to we'll get a drink strong draft. And also Din that pick is 1025 01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:49,079 a little earlier. I don't know how much I'm allowed to say at this 1026 01:06:49,199 --> 01:06:54,960 point, but I think it's looking very good about the contract. As far 1027 01:06:55,039 --> 01:06:58,599 as development camp, I don't think that's a possibility. Just there's a lot 1028 01:06:58,639 --> 01:07:01,920 of logistics that have to go in, just immigration, visa, all that 1029 01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:05,320 stuff. I don't have a timeline as far as when we expect him in 1030 01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:10,320 Philadelphia, but it's it's looking good, it's moving in the right direction. 1031 01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:15,880 I can't just buy respect for those teams, but it's your job and it's 1032 01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:19,960 their job to look with what's out there. There's definitely traction for with a 1033 01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:23,920 few of them, at least two that I thought we were going in the 1034 01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:28,239 right direction, and then again the board kind of went sideways a little bit, 1035 01:07:28,239 --> 01:07:30,639 and guys, we have our players that we really want, so they 1036 01:07:30,679 --> 01:07:34,920 weren't willing to move their pick, so we just kept going. You mentioned 1037 01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:39,599 that you think more that the Chengo is just scratching the surface. I'm assuming 1038 01:07:39,679 --> 01:07:44,119 you view him as a guy with extremely high upside and absolutely why do you 1039 01:07:44,199 --> 01:07:45,599 see him as a guy that maybe has top of the line on offside. 1040 01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:48,599 First of all, his work ethic. If you watch him play, he's 1041 01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:53,480 he's always one of the hardest worker both sides of the ice. His vision, 1042 01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:58,440 his hockey sense or high end. There's obviously some things that will work 1043 01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:02,440 with him to develop and increase, but to have a guy's understand already both 1044 01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:05,559 sides of the ice the way he does, and then you look the way 1045 01:08:05,719 --> 01:08:10,280 he played. It was a team that just barely made the playoffs. I 1046 01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:14,039 think in Gwelph he was the motor for that team. If you watch that 1047 01:08:14,599 --> 01:08:16,439 him play, he drove the play. He was a play driver. So 1048 01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:20,199 that's really exciting for us. How much did the under eight teams play as 1049 01:08:20,199 --> 01:08:26,359 the decision there have a really struggled one. Yeah, we didn't want him 1050 01:08:26,359 --> 01:08:29,039 to play too well. We were trying to keep him hidden. Our guys 1051 01:08:29,119 --> 01:08:33,079 were really high on him really early in the season, and he just kept 1052 01:08:33,119 --> 01:08:39,520 getting better and you saw his stock just kept increasing. So we were not 1053 01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:43,159 too excited about that, the fact that he kept climbing up because at first 1054 01:08:43,199 --> 01:08:47,239 early in the season, we thought he could have been a later pick for 1055 01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:51,039 us, our second pick in the first round, but in the second half 1056 01:08:51,119 --> 01:08:56,119 of the year, clearly just hearing all the other teams talk about it, 1057 01:08:57,039 --> 01:09:00,960 I got in trouble by a few teams already given me crap for taking him 1058 01:09:00,319 --> 01:09:05,600 ahead of a few of them. Perry Trotz National Gym this year and the 1059 01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:11,479 next year, and it sets us up for success going forward. I think 1060 01:09:12,319 --> 01:09:15,039 most players that come into the league right now, there's a lot of players 1061 01:09:15,079 --> 01:09:19,399 that are centers that move over the wing. But we drafted him primarily to 1062 01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:31,720 be a centerment for us. No, I think our scouts I didn't see 1063 01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:38,359 any of our scouts had done a really good thorough background check all those things. 1064 01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:42,239 You meet the kid right away, you know that if there was any 1065 01:09:42,319 --> 01:09:45,680 issues, it was just because they were so young. But no, you 1066 01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:51,039 could tell he's a solid kid, a young man. Oh. He because 1067 01:09:51,039 --> 01:09:56,159 he's competitive. And I think over there, the number one thing over there 1068 01:09:56,359 --> 01:10:00,479 is when you play a different style than most guys there there is a i'll 1069 01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:04,000 say a piece of some of those players that want to get a little piece 1070 01:10:04,039 --> 01:10:06,840 of them back. That's what we like about him is that he has an 1071 01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:11,239 effect on the game. We've got a few players like that. Zach LaRue, 1072 01:10:11,279 --> 01:10:15,680 who we drafted, has some of that that. The high skill obviously 1073 01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:19,199 was with the leading score American Hockey League playoffs for a good portion until if 1074 01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:24,279 Milwaukee lost out in the conference finals and then he finally got passed by someone 1075 01:10:24,319 --> 01:10:28,039 them. So we love those guys that have some of that combination of grit 1076 01:10:28,119 --> 01:10:30,479 and spit if you will. And if you have that combination, you're probably 1077 01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:33,920 gonna have some people trying to come at you a little bit. We don't 1078 01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:39,600 mind that at all. Of course, certain give a smart process and for 1079 01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:43,920 me also a problem if I will fight draft. It's really interesting. I 1080 01:10:44,199 --> 01:10:47,520 talked it to the Dimita simaschef and that he was in the Nashville and he 1081 01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:53,279 said me, it's really good here. And also I like this place now. 1082 01:10:53,800 --> 01:11:00,720 And I think many players will remember this celebration, all life players. 1083 01:11:01,680 --> 01:11:11,439 So there's some to the field. Oh yeah, I think made. And 1084 01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:15,840 also I have one barbershop for me. Is this players really good? And 1085 01:11:15,319 --> 01:11:20,279 these two players have a Stanley Cup and really good and I will try all 1086 01:11:21,359 --> 01:11:30,159 Trevor Connolly, Yeah, what do you want to tell people who are concerned 1087 01:11:30,199 --> 01:11:32,479 to make us the nets Man's back? You know you're gonna get that you 1088 01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:35,079 want you? Yeah, just that I've worked through. I think I've made 1089 01:11:35,119 --> 01:11:39,279 mistakes as a kid, and that I'm such a different person now. I 1090 01:11:39,319 --> 01:11:42,680 think I'm really mature and super like mature for my age. I think I've 1091 01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:45,560 done a lot in the community and got involved, and I think this whole 1092 01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:47,880 process has been a learning process for me, I think that I think everything 1093 01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:50,520 happens for a reason. I think I've been put through these past couple of 1094 01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:54,239 years for a reason. I think that it's all going to work out for 1095 01:11:54,359 --> 01:11:57,279 the best of me, and just began that I'll do anything for the organization 1096 01:11:57,399 --> 01:12:00,800 and anything to the people, and I'm super excited against her. All the 1097 01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:04,119 pre draft conversations, How surprising was it that it was Vegas And how many 1098 01:12:04,199 --> 01:12:08,960 conversations I guess did you have as Yeah, I had some really good conversations 1099 01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:11,880 with them at the combine and then earlier this week and kind of during the 1100 01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:14,479 year, I had a good talks with them as well. So I think 1101 01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:17,039 they were really high on character and what person was I am. And I 1102 01:12:17,079 --> 01:12:19,840 think they did a lot of research and a lot of digging, and I 1103 01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:23,159 don't think they would affect me if they didn't think I was the right fit 1104 01:12:23,199 --> 01:12:26,560 for the organization. So I think the talks we had together and the back 1105 01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:29,399 and forth was really good and I think we connected really well. Obviously, 1106 01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:31,359 the next goal to get to the NHL, right, So what was that 1107 01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:35,880 for you? To work? Going accel on what over the next hoping? 1108 01:12:36,239 --> 01:12:39,119 Yeah, I think I need to get stronger. I think that's the main 1109 01:12:39,159 --> 01:12:41,199 thing for me, is put on some weight before I get to the pro 1110 01:12:41,359 --> 01:12:44,239 levels. I think these next year or two at Providence is really going to 1111 01:12:44,279 --> 01:12:49,800 help me with that. Words can tell us until quite in terms, such 1112 01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:55,399 a question from Massachusetts Keviy fils Had. Yeah, I think I'm not going 1113 01:12:55,479 --> 01:12:58,039 to go into too much detail because I don't know if they want me sharing 1114 01:12:58,119 --> 01:13:00,760 that, but just figuring out what I like to do off the ice, 1115 01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:01,720 what I like to do on the ice, who I hang out with, 1116 01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:05,279 what I do in my free time, Just that type of stuff. I 1117 01:13:05,359 --> 01:13:09,439 think that kind of play making and goal scoring. I think I do both. 1118 01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:12,279 I think I like to use my plays. I like setting up teammates, 1119 01:13:12,359 --> 01:13:14,680 and I think also when I get a chance to pull one in, 1120 01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:16,319 I use my shot. And I think that my shot is one of my 1121 01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:18,520 things. I want to get better as well this summer. So I think 1122 01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:21,600 my game translates well. I think my skating is the biggest thing for me 1123 01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:25,520 that's gonna help me translate to the next level. Yeah, I think I 1124 01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:28,880 want to be like a top six power play penalty colling forward, and I 1125 01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:30,600 think I want to have an impact to being a good playoff player is a 1126 01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:33,079 big thing for me. I think I want to take steps and be like 1127 01:13:33,119 --> 01:13:36,399 a really dominant playoff player and at the next level. And I think off 1128 01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:40,039 the ice, I think the thing of mind that I've liked to talk about 1129 01:13:40,119 --> 01:13:43,399 with my parents the past couple of years is start maybe starting my own foundation 1130 01:13:43,479 --> 01:13:45,560 when I'm older. So I think that's something for sure to look forward to 1131 01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:49,239 in the future for me. I actually my little brother wore number twenty four 1132 01:13:49,359 --> 01:13:54,079 two years ago, so maybe that. Yeah. Yeah, I like hockey 1133 01:13:54,159 --> 01:13:57,399 kids of color, like kids in need of like hockey equipment or things like 1134 01:13:57,479 --> 01:13:59,920 that. I think that's like a big thing. Anything like something with Hawk 1135 01:14:00,119 --> 01:14:03,720 be like giving back to younger kids. I think with Providence and Tri City, 1136 01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:08,239 I think that those are both programs that kind of don't take like low 1137 01:14:08,359 --> 01:14:12,640 level character kids. Especially Providence with Nate Lehman and that organization, they really 1138 01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:15,039 keen on character and just how you treat your teammates and how you are around 1139 01:14:15,039 --> 01:14:18,279 the ranking around the like the team and the guys. So I think that 1140 01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:21,479 kind of teams really got to know me as a person. I think maybe 1141 01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:25,640 they spend more time with me than other kids, just because I've had issues 1142 01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:29,159 in the past, but I think that just like Vegas, just how much 1143 01:14:29,199 --> 01:14:31,880 trust they showed me, like especially picking me, it means so much dream 1144 01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:36,800 I think I could go higher. Maybe some of this stuff didn't happen, 1145 01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:54,720 but I'm honestly the happiest could ever with where I got selected. So I 1146 01:14:54,920 --> 01:15:00,399 hope you enjoyed this first half of the two part crossover episode. Keep in 1147 01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:03,479 mind we'll be back later this week. You should be subscribed to Dapper Prospect 1148 01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:10,920 Report to hear the other half of the great expert interviews and great interviews captured 1149 01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:15,600 by Victor and Peter at the draft before we get out of here. Our 1150 01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:17,359 show's brought to you by fan Tracks. I think you know that, but 1151 01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:20,439 you can move leagues over to fan Tracks.
