Jesse Severe, Fan Tracks and Victor Nuno

00:00:32,679 --> 00:00:36,840
a EP ringks side. Victor,
how you doing today? I'm doing great,

7
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,880
Jesse. It has been a minute. We have been off for a

8
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:44,479
little bit. I had a crazy
April, but I'm excited to get back

9
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,679
into our stride. These team previews
are one of my favorite times of the

10
00:00:47,759 --> 00:00:50,399
year. So I'm doing great.
I'm excited about that. How are you

11
00:00:50,439 --> 00:00:54,079
doing? Yeah, man, it
feels like we haven't recorded in forever,

12
00:00:54,439 --> 00:00:59,520
just because of our travel schedules and
full disclosure. The thing that your podcasters

13
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,280
you listen to are always saying,
I'm recording from somewhere unusual today, just

14
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:07,400
to expect my voice to sound a
little bit different. But Victor, the

15
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,480
voices may be different, the times
may be different. We may have missed

16
00:01:11,519 --> 00:01:15,519
a few weeks, but we're still
going strong man, We're still talking fantasy

17
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,120
hockey and it's friggin May. We're
in the middle of Stanley Cup playoffs,

18
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,359
which is a good time to be
excited about hockey, but not necessarily a

19
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,599
time when people are excited about fantasy
hockey. But Victor, there are a

20
00:01:26,599 --> 00:01:30,159
few people out there. There are
a few crazy diehards like you and me,

21
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,799
and a fair number of them live
in our Fantasy Hockey Life discord and

22
00:01:34,879 --> 00:01:38,159
people can join that and be a
part of it for free. They just

23
00:01:38,239 --> 00:01:42,640
need to contact us, because that's
how the world works. You can't just

24
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:47,159
instantly pop into things. You have
to ask for discord invites to get into

25
00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:51,879
them, and you can do that

27
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,079
in addition to our wonderful discord where
people just chit and chat and can ask

28
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,799

it for our introduction. Now it's
time to talk a little cracking right after

41
00:02:52,400 --> 00:03:01,840
the kind of welcome our guest now
for the Seattle Cracking episode, and we're

42
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:07,479
very grateful to have RJ from Emerald
City Hockey. How you doing, RJ

43
00:03:07,319 --> 00:03:10,520
doing great? Thanks for having me
back on Victor. Yeah, it was

44
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,680
great having you last year and as
an interesting team to follow this year.

45
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,879
There was no doubt that this was
a bit of a disappointing season for the

46
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:23,120
Krakend. Their final record was effectively
halfway between their first fledgling season and they're

47
00:03:23,479 --> 00:03:27,240
lucky maybe last season, but we'll
get to that. Essentially, though,

48
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,360
everyone's scoring to client, which was
weird. The team went from two hundred

49
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,599
and eighty nine goals top five to
two hundred and fourteen bottom five, and

50
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,120
the goaltending improved a bit, but
this led to a sizeable drop off and

51
00:03:38,639 --> 00:03:42,520
their total points as a team in
playoff contention, there was no forward that

52
00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:46,199
ended with more than eighteen time one
ice, something that drove us fantasy managers

53
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,159
crazy. I'm sure frustrating for some
review as well. We'll get to the

54
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,840
individuals, but do you have an
overall idea of what happened with this team

55
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,199
or what was going on throughout the
season. Yeah, I think there were

56
00:03:58,199 --> 00:04:00,560
a few different issues that were playing
the group. Yeah, I know from

57
00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:03,800
a fantasy standpoint, the ice time
thing is really frustrating, and that's something

58
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,800
that I did warn you about.
I think about a year ago. As

59
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,960
long as Dave Haxtall was the coach, that was going to be the case

60
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,520
that ice time was just going to
be evenly distributed there, and even when

61
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,600
things weren't going well, he didn't
really switch that up. He stuck with

62
00:04:15,639 --> 00:04:19,120
his normal ice timemo and I think
it was part of his undoing. But

63
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:23,839
really As you mentioned, they couldn't
score. That was the number one issue.

64
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,959
The goal scoring was way down,
and I think there were a few

65
00:04:25,959 --> 00:04:30,279
different reasons for it. I think
you look at the personnel, and this

66
00:04:30,319 --> 00:04:33,120
season, like you said, was
between halfway between year one and year three.

67
00:04:33,319 --> 00:04:36,879
I think this was more indicative of
what this group actually is from a

68
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,680
scoring firepower perspective. But I think
there are also other things that they just

69
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,120
weren't doing that they could have done
to generate more goals. And a lot

70
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,920
of that is just going NetFront,
going to the right areas of the ice

71
00:04:46,959 --> 00:04:50,480
that generate those goals, and there
were just too many guys on this team

72
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,000
that just only went around the perimeter. And I think the team couldn't really

73
00:04:55,079 --> 00:04:57,920
find an identity or a system either. They couldn't decide it's are we a

74
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,959
volume shooting team? Are we not
a volume shooting team. They went back

75
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,560
and forth between those as one worked
and then didn't work, and then you

76
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,839
try the other one and it works
for a little bit, then it doesn't

77
00:05:05,879 --> 00:05:10,480
work. I think the number one
thing for next season you need to adjust

78
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,480
is for whatever the new coaches,
just have a system, have an identity

79
00:05:14,519 --> 00:05:16,360
in a way that you want to
play. That's how you win games,

80
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,639
because there just wasn't a system this
year. Yeah, definitely, that's interesting.

81
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,199
And I definitely got the sense that
they were more of a volume shooting

82
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:30,199
team and you know, generated chances, but not necessarily great ones. And

83
00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:32,839
yeah, the perimeter players you mentioned, and yeah, we definitely talked about

84
00:05:32,879 --> 00:05:35,439
the timeline ies. That was an
issue and why a lot of us shied

85
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:41,560
away from drafting krakeing me included.
But I did have this guy on a

86
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,240
couple of teams. He's on a
couple of my dynasty teams, and my

87
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,959
favorite from this team, and that's
Jared McCann. So we'll go ahead and

88
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,639
get into the individual players. We'll
start with him. I'll reference our Tidy

89
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,639
ranks, that's our tier dynasty that
we do. He was one hundred and

90
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,639
twelveth in that format, so not
great. And he's got a couple more

91
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,560
years on his contract. Pretty decent
cap hit. And the big thing with

92
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,000
him, obviously is that he regressed
from that forty goal season. I think

93
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,199
we all knew that was going to
happen. He was shooting a little bit

94
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,399
hot, but he went back to
similar what he did a couple of years

95
00:06:10,399 --> 00:06:14,399
ago twenty nine goals in eighty games, almost thirty. That's pretty good when

96
00:06:14,439 --> 00:06:17,519
overall his block shots and hits aren't
not terrible, they're not amazing, but

97
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,759
they're decent. So I think it
seems like the outlier was that forty goal

98
00:06:21,959 --> 00:06:27,920
season, and obviously the shooting percentage
cooled off. There was a difference in

99
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:30,720
even strength goals. But what do
you think our day are we going to

100
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,920
see from McCann. Are we going
to see him get closer to forty again

101
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,360
or do we expect him in this
twenty five to thirty range. And what

102
00:06:38,439 --> 00:06:41,839
about the assists? Do you think
that can bump up as well. I

103
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,680
think we could see a little bit
more of a bump up from McCann from

104
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,439
this season. The areas that I
see or the room to grow is mostly

105
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:54,120
ice time. He's averaging like sixteen
minutes and change of ice time per game,

106
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,600
and he's clearly the Krackings best forward, and that's a result of Dave

107
00:06:57,639 --> 00:07:00,759
Hackstall in the way that he likes
to gole out the ice time to forwards.

108
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,160
And I would have to think,
if you're another coach coming in and

109
00:07:03,399 --> 00:07:08,279
you're looking to win right away,
why not have him average eighteen nineteen,

110
00:07:08,319 --> 00:07:11,240
maybe even twenty minutes of ice time
a game. I think McCann can handle

111
00:07:11,279 --> 00:07:14,160
it, and I think with that, you're going to see more opportunities for

112
00:07:14,199 --> 00:07:16,240
the numbers to go up a little
bit. As for the shooting percentage,

113
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,240
we knew that was going to cool
off, but still a thirteen point four

114
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:24,160
percent is not a bad clip and
it's something that we've seen is sustainable over

115
00:07:24,319 --> 00:07:27,079
the stage of his career, So
I think that's going to continue. I

116
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,319
think they're going to have to lean
heavily on him. Another thing that I

117
00:07:29,319 --> 00:07:33,240
think held him back a bit this
year, aside from the difficulties with supporting

118
00:07:33,279 --> 00:07:36,600
cast at times with the injuries,
was that he had to play center for

119
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,120
a lot of the latter part of
the part of the season. After they

120
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,839
traded away Alex Wenberg at the deadline, McCann had to shift into center and

121
00:07:43,879 --> 00:07:46,800
take a lot of the defensive responsibilities
there. But talking to him after the

122
00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:50,120
season, talking to Francis after the
season about it, they definitely both view

123
00:07:50,199 --> 00:07:54,079
him as a winger long term.
I think that's going to help his scoring

124
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,600
production. Still don't know how much
over that forty goal seventy point ceiling you're

125
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,639
really going to get. But I
like the coaching change for his production.

126
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,000
That is good to hear about the
winger status because I think it's a little

127
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,839
bit easier to fit those wingers into
your lineup, So that's nice to hear.

128
00:08:09,959 --> 00:08:13,279
So the next forward, I want
to ask you about Oliver buyorick Strand,

129
00:08:13,839 --> 00:08:16,839
and he was tidy rank one twenty
so definitely a little bit lower.

130
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,399
He's got another year at the reasonable
cap hit five point four and his point

131
00:08:22,439 --> 00:08:28,319
pace this season it went his yo
yoed between the high fifties and last season

132
00:08:28,399 --> 00:08:31,000
was a bit of a regression his
first season in Seattle, but he went

133
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,960
back up to his last season in
the Columbus and the exception is maybe that

134
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:39,679
proves the role. Buyorck Strand produced
a career high in points, a big

135
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,919
improvement from his first year until his
usage was still limited despite being second on

136
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,639
the team and scoring and first and
assists. The Danish buork just turned twenty

137
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,320
nine, which is not as young
as I feel like he should be.

138
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:56,600
Which is which was this buyork Strand's
career peak on a struggling team and can

139
00:08:56,639 --> 00:09:01,440
he keep it up next year?
I think the number this is probably around

140
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,919
the peak. And last season we
had an inkling this was coming. His

141
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,799
shooting percentage was much lower than it
had been in any of his prior seasons

142
00:09:07,799 --> 00:09:11,000
really, and we thought that would
start to go in for him. And

143
00:09:11,039 --> 00:09:15,080
it started in the playoffs last year
too, It felt like everything clicked for

144
00:09:15,159 --> 00:09:16,720
him, and then this season he
was able to just continue it going forward.

145
00:09:18,279 --> 00:09:20,200
I think he's one of those players
that is maybe a little bit more

146
00:09:20,279 --> 00:09:24,919
useful in real life than in fantasy, because this year he played on every

147
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,279
line. He was the line fixer. If the line wasn't doing well,

148
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,759
Hackstall would throw buorck Strand on that
line and usually it would improve. So

149
00:09:31,879 --> 00:09:33,960
I think that he's useful. He's
always going to get I think he'll get

150
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,320
top six ice time. He's certainly
a top six forward on this team.

151
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,879
So much of this stuff is coaching
dependent too, because whoever the new coach

152
00:09:41,919 --> 00:09:43,399
is is going to have his own
ideas about where bureick Strand should play,

153
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:48,480
and he has the most variable you
know, where he can play. Right

154
00:09:48,519 --> 00:09:50,720
he was on the first line.
He was on the fourth line at times

155
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,320
this season, and so you just
don't know what that's going to happen.

156
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,919
With that, I will say he
was the team leader in power play points,

157
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,320
and this power play was not good. The coach got fired, right,

158
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,559
the power play coach, Paul McFarlane
got fired because the power play just

159
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,759
wasn't very good. But it did
lean pretty heavily on Buyorick Strand, and

160
00:10:05,799 --> 00:10:09,600
so I wonder if next season maybe
the power play doesn't run through him as

161
00:10:09,759 --> 00:10:13,720
much, and so those numbers could
go down a little bit. But also

162
00:10:13,759 --> 00:10:15,919
I expect the power play in general
to be better, so it could be

163
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,559
a rising tide lifts all boats type
situation. Yeah, good point on that.

164
00:10:20,879 --> 00:10:22,080
The line fixer, Yeah, that's
usually not a good thing though,

165
00:10:22,159 --> 00:10:24,960
Right, you want to be the
one that everyone gets paired with and you

166
00:10:26,039 --> 00:10:30,600
have high production. We might as
well get to Maddy Benier's. We were

167
00:10:30,799 --> 00:10:33,879
impressed by the first the small sample
size in twenty one twenty two nine points

168
00:10:33,879 --> 00:10:37,879
in ten games. Were drooling at
that, and then fifty eight point season

169
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,399
last season point pace were like,
Okay, this is not bad. He

170
00:10:41,399 --> 00:10:45,039
can get over sixty. No,
he went the other way. He was

171
00:10:45,879 --> 00:10:50,039
not too far away from having his
point total thirty nine point pace in seventy

172
00:10:50,519 --> 00:10:56,480
for seventy seven games. It was
really frustrating. I know Jesse who is

173
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:01,000
not here right now and he's delayed
with some travel issues. He took Viniers

174
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,639
really early in one of our in
our Diesel draft, and it was really

175
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,919
regretting it. But it worked out
for him because he ended up winning the

176
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,120
league anyways, but that was a
real frustration for him. And I'm sure

177
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,799
for the Kraken, I think he's
always Veneers is always going to be one

178
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,639
of these guys who's better in real
life, probably than fantasy. But I'm

179
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,799
not sure that it was really all
that great in real life either this season,

180
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,320
So I'm wondering what you thought from
him and whether he can get back

181
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,320
to potentially being a sixty plus or
even more point player. Is that in

182
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,039
the cards for Beneers. I don't
know that it is, and I don't

183
00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:33,639
have a ton of confidence that it
is, and really it goes back to

184
00:11:33,799 --> 00:11:37,960
when he was a prospect coming into
the NHL draft. Dylan, who's the

185
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,840
other half of Emerald City Hockey,
is a former WHL scout. In his

186
00:11:39,919 --> 00:11:45,480
draft profile on Matti Banier's was saying
that the defensive play is rock solid.

187
00:11:45,519 --> 00:11:48,759
I think it was this season for
the Krack and too. But the concern

188
00:11:48,039 --> 00:11:52,039
was can he score enough to be
a number one center in the NHL.

189
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,759
I know Dylan was really concerned about
that. Now, Maddy worked on his

190
00:11:56,799 --> 00:11:58,759
offensive game in college, and you
saw he had that Calder season where he

191
00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:03,919
put it twenty four goals fifty seven
points. But I think this season went

192
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,639
more back to what we were fearing
around the draft, that he just didn't

193
00:12:07,639 --> 00:12:11,679
have that offensive upside. And I
don't know that he's going to put it

194
00:12:11,759 --> 00:12:16,000
together into the tune of being a
seventy or so point player. I think

195
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,399
he's gonna do better next year than
that his thirty seven point out foot this

196
00:12:18,519 --> 00:12:22,720
season. But still, really what
you saw from him is he had elite

197
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,240
defensive impacts, like getting the puck
out of his own zone, retrieving the

198
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,639
puck in his zone, breaking it
out. That's great. That doesn't help

199
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,879
you in fantasy, though, And
I think in the offensive zone. If

200
00:12:31,919 --> 00:12:35,960
you go to NHL Edge and look
at the advanced stats and look at his

201
00:12:35,039 --> 00:12:39,320
shooting map, it is terrible.
It is just all along the perimeter.

202
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,120
He doesn't go to the net front, like you can't expect to score from

203
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:48,360
those areas, especially with a shot
as predictable as his He likes to target

204
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,559
one area of the nets, and
I think I may have even mentioned this

205
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,440
to you last season, where it's
right under the glove, right under the

206
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,639
above the pad on the goalie,
and he just goes there every single time

207
00:12:56,639 --> 00:13:00,399
when he gets a clean look.
Now, he did vary his shot selection

208
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:01,919
a little bit in the middle of
the season, and you know what,

209
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,320
it worked, But then he went
back to what he was doing that was

210
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,279
predictable and easy for goalies to watch
tape on. So I think the league

211
00:13:07,279 --> 00:13:09,200
figured him out a little bit.
But he's a good player. He's a

212
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,759
smart player, he's a skilled player. It's a big off season for him.

213
00:13:13,799 --> 00:13:16,759
He's got to reevaluate his whole offensive
game and see what he needs to

214
00:13:16,799 --> 00:13:20,120
do. I think he's going to
bounce back from this year. The numbers

215
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,080
are going to be higher next year, but expecting anything over sixty points,

216
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,159
I really wouldn't. Oh right,
that's big news. I know a lot

217
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,600
of us were thinking, Okay,
he'll bounce back, he can get to

218
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,360
that point, but you're a little
pessimistic on that. So obviously we hope

219
00:13:35,399 --> 00:13:39,960
the best for him, but it's
good to have expectations. Jordan Everley a

220
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:45,879
couple more years for every at the
four seven five million, and he progressed

221
00:13:45,919 --> 00:13:48,200
back to his first season with the
crack end forty six point pace. So

222
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,559
it seems like maybe the last season
with sixty three was the outlier. He

223
00:13:52,639 --> 00:13:56,480
was very relevant in a lot of
circles. Maybe we shouldn't even be talking

224
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:01,399
about him. His perferal coverage is
pretty low, but over a pretty reliable

225
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,720
performance. And you know, the
the production, as we mentioned, has

226
00:14:05,799 --> 00:14:09,399
tailed off a little bit. His
power play points even went down. So

227
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,320
what do you think should is this
kind of what we should expect from him,

228
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,960
like a sub fifty point Jordan Eberley, or is he going to potentially

229
00:14:16,039 --> 00:14:20,840
boost back up to where he was
previously. I think he could boost back

230
00:14:20,919 --> 00:14:22,600
up a little bit. And there
are two factors that I point to with

231
00:14:22,639 --> 00:14:26,200
that one. He actually we found
out after the season he broke his hand

232
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,799
in the fourth game of the season
in a fight against Colorado, and so

233
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,320
he was playing with a broken hand
for a while, and that might explain

234
00:14:33,679 --> 00:14:37,600
an early season slump from him scoring
wise. I'm sure that's going to affect

235
00:14:37,679 --> 00:14:39,720
your shooting. You're stick handling all
that sort of stuff. But the number

236
00:14:39,759 --> 00:14:43,639
one thing is Matty Banier's just having
the bad season that he had, and

237
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:48,200
Everly was pretty much tied to Maddy's
hit for most of the season, and

238
00:14:48,279 --> 00:14:50,000
I think that kind of hurt him. And so if you're betting on a

239
00:14:50,039 --> 00:14:54,919
Matty Benier's bounce back, I don't
see a reason that every couldn't get back

240
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,480
into the fifty something point range from
production standpoints. So what we do know

241
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,960
is that he's going to get opportunities. He's going to be paired with Maddie

242
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,639
or with Shane Wright, because that
toward the end of the season, the

243
00:15:05,679 --> 00:15:09,480
Kraken played Shane Wright with Jaden Schwartz
and Jordan Everley, and I know they

244
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,759
look at him as a leader on
this team. I think he's probably the

245
00:15:11,759 --> 00:15:16,879
favorite to be named captain before next
season starts. I imagine that's the direction

246
00:15:16,919 --> 00:15:20,799
they're going to go. So he's
going to get more opportunity for sure.

247
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,399
And if Maddy Beniers can bounce back, if Shane Wright can have the season

248
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,039
that we're hoping he can, and
Jeorde Beverly's playing with him, that could

249
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:33,639
bump up his numbers a little bit. Ellie tolvn In so he was tidy

250
00:15:33,679 --> 00:15:39,360
rank one thirty eight, it's a
little bit lower. He had hilariously identical

251
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,919
forty two point paces the last two
season, although this one was entirely with

252
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:48,559
the Krack End. Previously, he
had part season with Nashville and he's currently

253
00:15:48,679 --> 00:15:50,960
an RFA, so it'll be interesting
to see what they do with that.

254
00:15:52,639 --> 00:15:56,320
And he definitely is someone who hits
a lot, so that's providing a nice

255
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,360
peripheral floor for the fantasy gms.
And some of his underlying metrics didn't look

256
00:16:00,399 --> 00:16:04,279
super great. His expected goals against
was pretty decent, but the rest of

257
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:10,039
his expected numbers were below average,
which was a little bit interesting, and

258
00:16:10,159 --> 00:16:12,559
maybe that partially explains why his time
on ice didn't really go up that much.

259
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,679
Maybe there wasn't as much opportunity for
him to play with some of those

260
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:21,000
metrics but he and then the way
the Kraken spread around the ice time that

261
00:16:21,039 --> 00:16:22,919
probably didn't help as well. But
r J, do you think we can

262
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:27,000
see a bigger role from Tolvin in
next season and potentially an increase from this

263
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,440
forty two point pace he seems to
be stuck at. Yeah, I don't

264
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,600
know how much of a potential free
increase there really is. I think he

265
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,600
is just that middle six forward that's
gonna play solid for you, and yes,

266
00:16:37,639 --> 00:16:41,399
he'll provide the hits. We're a
little surprised to see how high the

267
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,519
hit total was this year and how
high it ranked on the team. I

268
00:16:44,519 --> 00:16:47,879
think that might bounce back a little
bit next season, go a little bit

269
00:16:47,919 --> 00:16:51,080
lower, kind of toward what we're
used to from him. But I think

270
00:16:51,159 --> 00:16:53,120
generally what we saw from tolven in
this year. Of course, everyone knows

271
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,039
about his shot. That was the
thing that everyone talked about when he came

272
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,559
over to Seattle was this guy's got
a lethal shot. I think we didn't

273
00:17:00,559 --> 00:17:03,240
see that as much this year.
I think he was more focused on rounding

274
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,400
out his game and just really playing
that kind of two hundred foot game that

275
00:17:06,519 --> 00:17:10,440
Dave Hackstall loves, and I think
that's probably what we're going to continue to

276
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,720
see from him. Interestingly, though, toward the end of the season,

277
00:17:12,839 --> 00:17:15,880
he did get an opportunity to play
on that top line with Matti Beniers,

278
00:17:17,279 --> 00:17:19,599
but they moved away from it after
a couple games. I think the chemistry

279
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,839
just wasn't really there with him and
Maddie. They started off strong, but

280
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,960
then it really faded, so I
wouldn't really expect to see him getting a

281
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,519
proper top six spot, and what
he is there numbers wise, is probably

282
00:17:30,519 --> 00:17:36,039
what he's going to continue to bring. Yeah, a nice decent depth option

283
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:41,119
there for Tolvinen. Shane Wright.
Obviously, we know we've been those of

284
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:45,839
us who like the follow up prospects
have been pretty excited about him for a

285
00:17:45,839 --> 00:17:48,480
long time, and we know what
happened last year. He was moved all

286
00:17:48,519 --> 00:17:52,599
around at different league. So at
least this past season he was pretty consistent

287
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,279
playing with Coachella and he had fantastic
stats there. I got to see him

288
00:17:56,319 --> 00:18:00,559
live actually when he played down here
against the Barracuda, and yeah, he

289
00:18:00,599 --> 00:18:03,799
clearly was too good. I think
for that league, he was pretty impressive.

290
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,519
And we got to see him in
the NHL level a couple times,

291
00:18:07,519 --> 00:18:11,079
and I think the difference between this
season and last season in the NHL was

292
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,960
pretty dramatic, at least from my
eye test, and he looked like he

293
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,079
was much more comfortable. He looked
more confident, he looked like he really

294
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,559
fit in. And obviously we can't
glean a whole lot from eight games,

295
00:18:21,599 --> 00:18:23,359
but Arjie, what do you think
we can expect from right next season.

296
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,759
What kind of role do you think
he'll be given and what kind of production

297
00:18:26,839 --> 00:18:30,839
maybe can we see. Yeah,
I think the ceiling could be pretty high

298
00:18:30,839 --> 00:18:33,319
for him. We saw four goals
in a five game call up for him

299
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,160
at the end of last season,
and of course he's not going to shoot

300
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,839
what was it thirty three percent over
a full season everything, but he was

301
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,680
doing a lot of the right things
to generate that offense. He was going

302
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,519
to the net. He was one
of the few guys on the team that

303
00:18:47,599 --> 00:18:49,960
was willing to do that consistently,
even in that short stint that he had

304
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,240
with the group, and he just
looked, ready, the shot is there,

305
00:18:53,599 --> 00:18:56,240
the body is there. I think
he's done a lot of developing as

306
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,720
far as just body position. Right, He's got a really one frame and

307
00:19:00,799 --> 00:19:03,240
he can go to those areas and
not get knocked off the puck, and

308
00:19:03,279 --> 00:19:07,480
I think that's going to translate as
far as his where he's going to be

309
00:19:07,519 --> 00:19:11,200
deployed. I think the plan is
for him to start off in maybe a

310
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:12,960
third line type of role. I
do think even as well as he did,

311
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,000
they're probably going to ease him in
to start next season and he said

312
00:19:17,039 --> 00:19:19,880
too, that's what he expects as
far as next year. But if he

313
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,680
keeps playing this well, how do
you not move him up the lineup,

314
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,920
especially with Maddy Benier's regression and where
we don't know now is he even really

315
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:32,559
a sixty point guy. Shane Wright
long term is who the team's going to

316
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,480
have to lean on to be that
top center. It's just a matter of

317
00:19:34,519 --> 00:19:38,000
time for how quick he gets there. Do you think there's a chance we

318
00:19:38,079 --> 00:19:41,400
see top line Shane Wright as early
as twenty four to twenty five or do

319
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,480
you think we're a little bit ways
out of that still. I think by

320
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,920
the end of the season, I
think we could see that. If things

321
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,319
continue along the current trajectory they're going, I think by the end of the

322
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:56,039
season he might be the top line
center. He is that good. Yeah,

323
00:19:56,079 --> 00:20:00,519
that's exciting, all right, So
maybe draft him late in in your

324
00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:03,640
leagues and hold them. That'd be
a good advice I want to now pose

325
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,720
to you at pick them. So
these are some of the more depth forwards

326
00:20:07,759 --> 00:20:11,119
on the Kraken, and as we
said, maybe not the best team to

327
00:20:11,839 --> 00:20:15,279
go for with some depth scoring,
but in deep enough leagues it's always interesting

328
00:20:15,279 --> 00:20:18,640
to try to pick these guys out, and each one of these guys definitely

329
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,200
had their moments this past season.
So we're talking about Jaden Schwartz, Johanny

330
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:27,200
Gord and Berukovsky Andrew Beraukovski. So
between these three they were all similar.

331
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:32,480
Schwartz had the highest point pace with
thirty nine and then Gord with thirty four,

332
00:20:32,519 --> 00:20:36,079
in Berukovski with twenty seven. But
there was definitely moments where each one

333
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:41,279
of these was maybe more interesting or
more exciting than the other. And obviously

334
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,240
Gord has face off wins if that's
something that's interesting to you, and he

335
00:20:45,319 --> 00:20:48,000
definitely and he hits and shoots a
little bit more and blocks, so there's

336
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,720
a little bit more perperal coverage if
that's of interest to you. They're all

337
00:20:51,799 --> 00:20:53,400
kind of similar cap hit if you're
in a cap league. But what do

338
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,720
you think about these two just their
general role and what maybe we can expect

339
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,640
from them moving forward? Right,
So you said Schwartz, Goordon, Berukovsky.

340
00:21:00,759 --> 00:21:04,559
Okay, So here's the thing.
If they all play eighty two games,

341
00:21:04,559 --> 00:21:07,599
which by the way, will not
happen, I'd say Berukovsky easily.

342
00:21:08,599 --> 00:21:11,359
Toward the end of the seasons he
was finally starting to get in a groove

343
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:17,319
and get healthy. He was looking
like the Berukovsky we remembered from Colorado or

344
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,599
from the Krakens first season with him
before his major injury that caused him to

345
00:21:21,599 --> 00:21:23,480
miss the rest of the year.
And I think that's really you look at

346
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,599
the scoring numbers from him, they
are way way down this season, and

347
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,279
I would shock pretty much all of
that up to injuries. He just could

348
00:21:30,319 --> 00:21:33,880
not get into a rhythm. When
he came back, he got hurt again.

349
00:21:33,319 --> 00:21:37,079
And so with him, you're drafting
a player who could be top three

350
00:21:37,079 --> 00:21:41,000
and scoring on this team easily if
he stays healthy. But you're building in

351
00:21:41,079 --> 00:21:45,079
that injury risk for him, and
if he gets hurt again, anything that's

352
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,599
longer than a week or two,
that's really going to just derail his season.

353
00:21:48,599 --> 00:21:52,599
I think because he just needs that
momentum. There's a reason they're having

354
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,200
him go play at the World Championships
now, because he just needs games.

355
00:21:56,319 --> 00:21:57,880
It's worth the injury risk. He
just needs to get those games. So

356
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:04,119
I'd say Berukovskynumber one pending injuries.
Schwartz then number two, also pending injuries

357
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,680
because he doesn't usually play a full
season, but The thing about Schwartz is

358
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:12,400
he's the one guy all season who
did consistently go to the net, and

359
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,920
that created a lot of offense.
If you look at the shooting maps at

360
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,599
NHL Edge, he's the one guy
who's shooting map you look at be like,

361
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,720
yeah, that's where you go to
score goals. And I think he

362
00:22:21,759 --> 00:22:22,880
benefited a lot from that, and
I think he's going to continue to do

363
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:27,079
that. Problem is he's on the
smaller side, he's a little bit injury

364
00:22:27,079 --> 00:22:30,000
prone. He's going to take some
punishment there. He's also an injury risk.

365
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,880
And then Yanni Gord he's tough because
I think, certainly for the offensive

366
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,759
upside, it's the least of these
three guys. We know what his ceiling

367
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,680
was, and it's what he did
last season. And I think also we're

368
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,400
starting to see a bit of a
decline there as well. There were a

369
00:22:45,599 --> 00:22:48,000
number of games this season where he
just didn't look like himself, and I

370
00:22:48,039 --> 00:22:52,160
wonder if age is a factor there, and especially the style of game that

371
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,440
he plays where he's up in everyone's
face. I think we might start to

372
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,640
see some of that wear and tear
there. Yes, he provides a bit

373
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,359
more in terms of hits, block
that other stuff. I don't know.

374
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,079
He still doesn't hit a ton.
He's fifth on the team and hits on

375
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:07,079
a team that doesn't hit a lot
blocks. He was, you know what,

376
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:08,880
he was tenth on the team that
doesn't block a ton of shots.

377
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,839
I don't know how much extra value
he brings there. And then also he

378
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,680
might not Again, I don't want
to say anything for sure, but if

379
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,559
you were ranking players that the team
could trade away, if they were looking

380
00:23:19,599 --> 00:23:23,279
to make some roster moves and gear
up for next season and free up some

381
00:23:23,319 --> 00:23:27,000
cap space, I'd say he's probably
number two on that list, after Brandon

382
00:23:27,039 --> 00:23:30,519
Tannef. So that's just another thing
to potentially consider. I guess by the

383
00:23:30,519 --> 00:23:33,720
time you're drafting you probably know what
team he's on, But that's just something

384
00:23:33,759 --> 00:23:37,519
to look at there with him,
all right, great stuff with those depth

385
00:23:37,559 --> 00:23:41,480
players. Yeah, good to hear. Yeah, Barakovski, that could be

386
00:23:41,519 --> 00:23:45,160
a big sleeper for sure. Oh
yeah. Let's move on to the defense,

387
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:49,119
and Vince Dunn was, of course
the top target. I have to

388
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,720
tell you, I was. I've
always been a bit skeptical about Done,

389
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,599
but I was for sure wrong about
this guy because he has really turned out

390
00:23:57,599 --> 00:24:03,640
to be quite val and I was
mainly skeptical about some of the value with

391
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,000
the cap that they gave to him. But for a top producing defenseman at

392
00:24:07,039 --> 00:24:10,400
seven point three five million, that's
not too bad really, quite frankly.

393
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,400
Even though his defensive metrics are still
a little bit they leave a little bit

394
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,359
to be desired, but he generates
some pretty good expected goals for and isn't

395
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:22,839
like a total liability defensively, at
least as far as I can tell.

396
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,680
He doesn't provide the massive bash that
maybe some defensemen do, but his blocks

397
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,200
are still really good and his hits
are okay. He doesn't shoot as much

398
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:36,079
as we would like, but decently
overall. His point pace was maybe just

399
00:24:36,079 --> 00:24:38,799
a slightly down from last season sixty
five to sixty four point pace. Obviously,

400
00:24:38,799 --> 00:24:42,240
the injury that kept him out that
was a big part. He definitely

401
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,599
missed a good chunk of games,
but that allowed us to see the player

402
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,920
that we'll talk about later. That
helped with that a little bit. But

403
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,240
what do you think about Dunn's season? Is he arrived in this sixty to

404
00:24:53,279 --> 00:24:56,440
seventy point range? Is he going
to hang out there now? Moving forward?

405
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,839
What do you think we can expect
from him who he is. He

406
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,839
proved me wrong too, because I
was skeptical just like you were when we

407
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,880
talked a year ago about his future. And I knew that he'd have to

408
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,440
do it a little bit differently too, because that five on five production wasn't

409
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,200
really sustainable. But you know what, he learned how to be a good

410
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,599
power play quarterback, something he didn't
really figure out last season, but this

411
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,839
year he did it. He is
easily the best power play quarterback on the

412
00:25:18,839 --> 00:25:22,440
team. He's going to quarterback that
first power play unit for probably as long

413
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,279
as he is a Kraken. So
yeah, Vince Dunn absolutely proved me wrong.

414
00:25:26,319 --> 00:25:30,039
And I think that scoring production you
can pencil that in as long as

415
00:25:30,039 --> 00:25:33,119
he's healthy. And I know injuries
were concerned this year. I don't know

416
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,960
how much of a real worry that
is. I think you look at the

417
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:38,839
big injury that he had on a
hit from Martin paus Bacil that it was

418
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,680
just a dirty, garbage hit to
the boards that like, you can't defend

419
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:47,319
yourself against that. You can't count
on that happening again. I think generally

420
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,240
he's the type of guy who will
stay healthy. So yeah, I think

421
00:25:49,279 --> 00:25:53,079
you can just take what he did
this year over a full season pace,

422
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,799
take what he did last year,
and basically pencil that in from a production

423
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,839
standpoint. I like him when people
prove as wrong in a good way.

424
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:06,160
I'm all about that happy to see
that. Now we're gonna switch over to

425
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:11,119
the younger defenseman, Riiker Evans,
and he was ranked pretty low in the

426
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,319
tidy. But this isn't really I've
always found this pick really interesting because he

427
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,880
was one of their early draft picks. He was drafted as an overrager.

428
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,160
I just remember thinking like, wow, you're wasting your quote unquote wasting a

429
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:25,000
second round pick on this overrager.
But man, has he been good and

430
00:26:25,279 --> 00:26:29,559
he definitely has shown that he was
definitely not a wasted pick. He has

431
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,279
really done well in the AHL and
now coming up to the NHL. He

432
00:26:34,279 --> 00:26:37,880
played thirty six games this season nine
points. I guess it's nothing too exciting,

433
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,599
but twenty one point pace. He
got some power play time. He

434
00:26:41,599 --> 00:26:44,079
looked pretty good on the power play
from my eyes when I saw him five

435
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:48,440
power play points. Obviously that role
it was most likely going to go back

436
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,400
to Don when unless he's injured,
but it was really great to see him

437
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,119
there was really great to see his
confidence and his ability to play at this

438
00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:02,079
tough level. His peripherals were okay
and over a block and almost two his

439
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,400
per game. That's pretty nice.
Perferle floor, the shots were a little

440
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,519
bit lower. But what do you
think we can expect from Evans next season?

441
00:27:07,599 --> 00:27:11,279
Is he a regular NHL or is
he getting second pair minutes? What

442
00:27:11,559 --> 00:27:14,799
do you think from him? You'll
one hundred percent be a regular NHL or

443
00:27:14,839 --> 00:27:17,839
that's something that Ron France is basically
confirmed. He's going to be a regular

444
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:22,200
to start next season. I think
he could potentially bump up into second pairing

445
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,119
minutes depending on how the blue line
shakes out. Certainly if there's any injuries,

446
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,799
he could do that. Things to
know about Ryker Evans, though,

447
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,279
he will quarterback a power play unit. That is for sure. It's going

448
00:27:33,319 --> 00:27:34,640
to be Vince Done on unit one, Riker Evans on unit two. I

449
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,519
can pretty confidently say that going into
next year. He was blocked by Justin

450
00:27:38,559 --> 00:27:41,279
Schultz for a little bit of this
season, and so some of those games

451
00:27:41,319 --> 00:27:45,599
he got in he didn't have the
power play work. But next season,

452
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,839
for sure, because Schultz is not
going to be back, so Evans will

453
00:27:48,839 --> 00:27:52,319
take over that spot also, I
think too, I don't know if Again

454
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,559
I don't do a lot of fantasy
hockey myself, but I don't know if

455
00:27:55,599 --> 00:27:59,359
like handcuffs are a thing in fantasy
hockey, But if you have Vince Done

456
00:27:59,799 --> 00:28:03,039
right, Evans is the handcuff for
Vince Done. Because we saw when Dunn

457
00:28:03,079 --> 00:28:06,039
was out of the lineup later in
the season, Ryker Evans where they ended

458
00:28:06,079 --> 00:28:10,039
up liking him slotting right into that
first pairing spot with Adam Larson, and

459
00:28:10,079 --> 00:28:12,319
he was getting the ice time,
he was getting the opportunities, and he

460
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,759
basically was just doing his Vince Done
impression. So if Done were to miss

461
00:28:15,759 --> 00:28:19,799
any time next season, Ryker Evans
is the guy already. Yeah, for

462
00:28:19,799 --> 00:28:22,880
sure, I remember thinking that exact
thing, Oh, okay, Done is

463
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:27,799
out, Let's go get Evans.
The difficult thing in redraft leagues and stuff

464
00:28:27,799 --> 00:28:33,480
theres he was either playing like top
line power play or he was like not

465
00:28:33,519 --> 00:28:37,400
playing, and that was difficult to
hold him in certain situations. But that's

466
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:44,440
another Hackstall thing also where I think
that he gave him less leash than I

467
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,880
would have. I think that a
lot of other coaches maybe would have Basically

468
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:52,559
there was one game against Dallas where
and Evans had three games, really impressive

469
00:28:52,559 --> 00:28:55,279
games up to that point in his
call up, and then one game against

470
00:28:55,319 --> 00:28:57,839
Dallas in overtime where he didn't take
away the guy NetFront and it led to

471
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,720
the overtime winning goal. And yeah, he messed up. That's a rookie

472
00:29:00,799 --> 00:29:06,000
mistake. But Hackstall benched him after
that. He scratched him for the next

473
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:10,759
game, and he wasn't the same
sense. And I would hope that whoever

474
00:29:10,799 --> 00:29:12,839
the next coach is gives him a
little bit more runway because it seemed to

475
00:29:12,839 --> 00:29:18,400
mess with his confidence going forward.
Yeah, that's a good point, so

476
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,680
we definitely should expect something different next
season. I think I heard you say

477
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,720
this, but I want to ask
you about Justin Schult Anyways, he's a

478
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,839
UFA. He may not be back
with the team next season. He's thirty

479
00:29:27,839 --> 00:29:32,880
three years old. He's someone who
has run a power play. If he's

480
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,279
not back with the team, just
wondering what you saw from him. He's

481
00:29:36,519 --> 00:29:37,920
the kind of guy who can still
run a power play. Is he someone

482
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,160
we should have interest in if he's
with the Cracking or somebody else, or

483
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,240
do you feel like maybe he's washed
up and isn't too interesting anymore. Yeah,

484
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,039
So first off, I will say, yeah, he's not going to

485
00:29:48,079 --> 00:29:49,920
be back with the Krack and Ryker
Evans is going to take that spot.

486
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,480
And I think that was always the
plan with that contract expiring, as Ryker

487
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:59,400
Evans is ready to go on Schultz
himself. He did have some productive games

488
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,920
this season, and I think it
was tough for him because you clearly had

489
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,880
Ryker Evans kind of chopping at the
bit to get into the lineup and everything.

490
00:30:06,039 --> 00:30:07,920
But during the Krakens' best stretch,
Justin Schultz was there and he was

491
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,319
on the third pairing with Brian Doomlan. He's the third pairing defenseman. Now.

492
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,519
He's not going to be getting top
four minutes. That's just what he

493
00:30:15,599 --> 00:30:18,039
is. He's a third pairing defenseman
with a little bit of potential to run

494
00:30:18,119 --> 00:30:22,519
a second power play unit. I
thought he was worse on the power play

495
00:30:22,519 --> 00:30:25,480
this year than he was last year. Certain things like keeping the puck in

496
00:30:25,559 --> 00:30:27,759
the blue line, just decisions with
the puck seem to get a little less

497
00:30:27,799 --> 00:30:32,559
sharp than it was last season.
And so I think depending on what team

498
00:30:32,599 --> 00:30:36,319
he goes to, if he's on
a playoff team, He's probably not a

499
00:30:36,319 --> 00:30:40,039
top two power play quarterback if he's
on a team that's maybe in the bottom

500
00:30:40,039 --> 00:30:41,799
play of the league. I think
he still could quarterback a second power play

501
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,920
unit, but I wouldn't be expecting
a whole lot from him. He's definitely

502
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:51,279
more of a depth piece in the
NHL. Now, maybe he will be

503
00:30:51,359 --> 00:30:55,920
a good veteran leadership for one of
those rebuilding bottom teams, get some support

504
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,920
to some of the younger guys.
All right, let's move on to the

505
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:04,680
goalies now, and this season,
the Kraken ranks six and expected goals against

506
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,680
for sixty six two point four to
three, but only and conceded the ninth

507
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:14,599
amount of actual goals. These top
ten numbers would expect you would expect the

508
00:31:14,599 --> 00:31:17,640
team to finish better, but obviously
we know that they did not make the

509
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:22,880
playoffs and it was a pretty difficult
season. I think for Grubauer he missed

510
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:27,359
a bunch of time his numbers.
Overall, he started similar number of games

511
00:31:27,759 --> 00:31:33,400
as previously with injuries, but obviously
Joey Decord taking a bigger part of the

512
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,279
net, having more wins, maybe
passing him in some regards. Grubauer had

513
00:31:37,279 --> 00:31:41,359
a negative goal save above expected in
a negative delta Fenwick. It's a little

514
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:45,960
confusing though, because he obviously has
the contract right, he has the cap

515
00:31:45,039 --> 00:31:48,160
hit, and so you think he'd
get more of the starts. But you

516
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,799
can't ignore Joey Decord playing getting twelve
point seventy one goals save above expected his

517
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,559
delta Fenwick. He was way out
performing the protection given to him, and

518
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:01,519
obviously he's a bit cheaper, so
I can't imagine that the Crack can completely

519
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,240
ignore that and just go based on
the money. But how do you see

520
00:32:05,279 --> 00:32:07,839
this working out? Is the cord
of the de facto starter here or are

521
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,599
they going to continue to share the
net moving forward? How do you see

522
00:32:09,599 --> 00:32:14,000
this shaken out? They're going to
share the net in some respects. I

523
00:32:14,039 --> 00:32:16,160
think it'll probably be about a fifty
to fifty split to start the season,

524
00:32:16,279 --> 00:32:19,319
and like the Crack can have done
in the past, I think they're going

525
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,920
to ride the hothand from there.
Last season or this past season showed that

526
00:32:22,039 --> 00:32:27,319
they're not necessarily completely loyal to Philip
Rubauert just because of that contract. If

527
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,920
Joey Decord plays out of his mind
and is consistently the goalie that this season

528
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:35,640
showed that maybe he can be.
They're gonna go with him because that gives

529
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,440
him a better chance to win That
contract is going to have Grubauer hang around,

530
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,720
though. They are always going to
continue to give him chances to find

531
00:32:42,759 --> 00:32:45,759
his game and to play well,
and at times this season he did.

532
00:32:45,799 --> 00:32:49,720
He had some good stretches, but
injury concerns. That's a huge deal.

533
00:32:49,759 --> 00:32:52,440
This is the second year in a
row that he's had a fairly major injury

534
00:32:52,599 --> 00:32:57,000
at around the same part of the
season two. Last year it was Martin

535
00:32:57,039 --> 00:32:59,759
Jones coming in and playing out of
his mind to get the cracking through that.

536
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,079
This year it was Joey to coord
It feels almost like something you count

537
00:33:02,119 --> 00:33:06,200
on now, which is not good, of course for Grubauer's long term out

538
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,279
look. But I think they're both
going to have a chance. And I

539
00:33:08,519 --> 00:33:13,440
cannot predict goaltending performance. I don't
know that anybody can. It's just so

540
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,960
hard to gauge. But they're both
going to get an opportunity. They're both

541
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:20,160
going to get a fair amount of
starts, and I think the team probably

542
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,000
wants to go to the pretty even
tandem if both stay healthy. One thing

543
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,480
to look out for goaltending wise,
though, so the Krack and of course

544
00:33:25,559 --> 00:33:30,680
let Dave hast All go and Paul
McFarland, who's the power play coach,

545
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:35,599
the other assistants, including the goalie
coach Steve Briere so far on the staff

546
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,920
right now, but you never know
what the new coach coming in if they

547
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,759
want to bring guys with him.
Goalie coaches, usually, I think,

548
00:33:40,799 --> 00:33:45,559
tend to stay with teams they can
survive a coaching change. But if something

549
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:50,000
happens where Steve Briere goes elsewhere,
the goalie coach look out because things could

550
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,559
get bad. He's done a fantastic
job with Grubauer Intcord, but if he

551
00:33:52,599 --> 00:33:55,880
were to leave, I wouldn't want
any part of this goalie tandem. That's

552
00:33:55,920 --> 00:34:00,000
a lot of confidence in the goalie
coach. He's great, he's fantastic.

553
00:34:00,279 --> 00:34:02,799
Yeah, all right, Well,
thanks so much for giving us your insights

554
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:08,400
on the Seattle Crack and goalie and
thanks so much for your time today,

555
00:34:08,519 --> 00:34:13,119
are j Is there anything else you
want to mention about this team? I

556
00:34:13,159 --> 00:34:19,119
guess there's In general, I guess
it could be potentially a bi low opportunity

557
00:34:19,119 --> 00:34:22,800
for certain guys because I think the
ice time for the high end guys could

558
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,800
be increasing under a new coach,
but still, I fantasy wise, I

559
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:30,960
just don't see a lot of really
promising options on this team. Sorry to

560
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:34,559
tell everyone that, but I just
think even if the goals scoring rebounds,

561
00:34:34,559 --> 00:34:37,519
which I expect it to somewhat,
this isn't going to be a team with

562
00:34:37,639 --> 00:34:40,039
an eighty points scorer or they're just
not going to produce a lot of offense

563
00:34:40,079 --> 00:34:44,320
there. And there's no one who
really hits, no one who really gets

564
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:45,880
a ton of blocks, no one
who gets a ton of shots. There

565
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,800
aren't a lot of volume shooters on
this team, so you have to pick

566
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,480
and choose to find the value,
and it's in the depth, but no

567
00:34:52,519 --> 00:34:54,519
one really high end. I guess
one more thing too, They're going to

568
00:34:54,559 --> 00:35:00,960
bring in at least one difference maker
this offseason, have the cap space to

569
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,840
do it, they need to do
it. There's going to be at least

570
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:07,840
one somewhat major player that's brought in, and that's going to change the dynamic

571
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,920
as well. Yeah, we'll look
for that. Maybe that could be pretty

572
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:15,480
exciting. Tell the people where they
can follow all your great work on the

584
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:12,599
my goodness, long goal with a
gram. Now it's your wingler goalie talk.

585
00:36:12,679 --> 00:36:17,039
But Kat Silverman, Kat's instincts please
to be joined again by Kat Silverman

586
00:36:17,079 --> 00:36:22,480
from NGLD mag. We're talking Seattle
goalies. Simeon via Savoy by as a

587
00:36:22,559 --> 00:36:28,360
VOI and he's six foot three hundred
and eighty one pound twenty one six round

588
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:32,960
pick by Seattle. He was primarily
in the second Division Russian League again this

589
00:36:34,039 --> 00:36:37,639
season, not much KHL time,
just two games. Didn't go so well

590
00:36:37,679 --> 00:36:40,960
there, but the VHL was pretty
good and his expected goals were really good.

591
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:46,519
I'm looking at Hockey Prospecting and his
NHL equivalence. He looks pretty high

592
00:36:46,599 --> 00:36:50,880
here. It's trending up. He's
got a comp of Corey Schneider, which

593
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,719
of course would be great, some
other lesser comps, and the Fantasy Hockey

594
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:59,719
Life player card here shows that he's
saving more goals than expected, which is

595
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:01,880
always nice, and he's getting a
lot of saves. So, Kat,

596
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:07,320
what can you What do your instincts
tell us about Vyazavoy? It's I feel

597
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,960
like the broken record every time I
say, it's so hard to tell with

598
00:37:10,039 --> 00:37:16,119
these goaltenders who are only playing in
Russia. But he's such a like a

599
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:24,400
confident looking kid when he plays in
Russia that I feel like he's ready to

600
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:29,840
take the next step if he's going
to come over and once I see those

601
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,360
guys that I obviously didn't do super
well in his KHL games, but he

602
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:38,320
did really well consistently throughout the VHL
this year, and he looks like he's

603
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:45,719
ready to face opponents in different types
of situations. That's always where we end

604
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,440
up looking at some of those stutter
steps for especially the European goaltenders that come

605
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,400
over to North America. And he's
from what I saw, looks like he's

606
00:37:53,079 --> 00:37:55,880
someone who likes to block from a
little farther out. He doesn't like to

607
00:37:55,960 --> 00:38:02,480
really come too close to his net. And that's always the game that when

608
00:38:02,519 --> 00:38:06,400
I see that working really well for
a guy in Europe, I want to

609
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,639
see how well it works with that
faster paced game in North America where you

610
00:38:09,639 --> 00:38:15,440
really don't get as much space to
command a ton of presents outside of the

611
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:20,360
blue paint itself. And so that's
something that for me. Ilia Samsonov is

612
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,719
the guy who I always got really
nervous about when I watched him play in

613
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:29,239
North America, and I say did
always feel nervous. I still feel nervous

614
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,760
watching him do it during the playoffs
this year, because he just doesn't always

615
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:37,039
work very well when you tell him, hey, you can't take up a

616
00:38:37,039 --> 00:38:40,239
ton of space and force these guys
to shoot for more low danger positions.

617
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:45,519
You have to be able to still
track and anticipate the game when they're getting

618
00:38:45,519 --> 00:38:49,840
a little closer to you when they're
spending time challenging you within the blue paint,

619
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,800
and that's something that I want to
see at the North American level for

620
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:58,280
Via as a boy. But I
haven't really seen any backward steps for him,

621
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:05,000
which is good. And I think
that Seattle is in a somewhat enviable

622
00:39:05,039 --> 00:39:10,000
position where they don't really need him
right now. It's not like they need

623
00:39:10,039 --> 00:39:14,239
to bring him over, which there
are some other teams in the league that

624
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,280
if they bring a guy over from
Europe or Russia, they might have to

625
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:22,480
stick him in the NHL immediately because
they're running out of viable NHL goaltenders.

626
00:39:22,639 --> 00:39:25,000
That's not the case for Seattle.
They have the chance to bring him over,

627
00:39:25,079 --> 00:39:29,199
see how he's doing, give him
a chance to play some low level

628
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:32,320
games with some low stakes, and
then slowly but surely bring him up.

629
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:37,039
And I think if they can do
that, they'll be great. Probably,

630
00:39:37,559 --> 00:39:42,079
we just I don't feel confident in
saying that I want to throw all my

631
00:39:42,119 --> 00:39:45,599
confidence behind him just yet. We're
going to get to the other guys.

632
00:39:45,599 --> 00:39:50,920
But do you think he's the highest
upside of their prospect goalies. I have

633
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:52,920
a little bit of a soft spot
for a different one of their prospect goalies,

634
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:57,599
even though he has the highest NHL
probability based on the numbers so far,

635
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,480
they do have another one that I
think is going to be potentially an

636
00:40:01,519 --> 00:40:06,360
easier transition to North America just based
on how he plays the game. So

637
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,840
I'd probably put him as my number
two out of the three that we'll talk

638
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:15,320
about. All Right, that's a
good tease, unintentional. Let's move on

639
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:20,719
to the next one. Nicholas Coco
six foot three and he's one hundred and

640
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,679
ninety pounds twenty twenty two second round
pick by the Kraken. He's in the

641
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:27,960
Carpat system, which I know you're
somewhat familiar with, and we've talked a

642
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,599
little bit about that in the past. And this season he played mostly in

643
00:40:30,639 --> 00:40:35,360
the Mestis but also a little bit
in the Liga. He was on loan

644
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:42,079
to PSI Pai, and he looked
pretty good in some of the Liga game

645
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:46,000
Lega games this season as well with
Carpot and the Pelicans. Why did I

646
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:50,480
say Sypi he's on loan to the
Pelicans. Oh, that was last season

647
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,639
he was on loan. Looking at
him in the Hockey prospecting model, his

648
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:59,199
equivalency has been low this season.
This past season he bumped it up quite

649
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,320
a bit, up to nineteen percent, but that's still low. Most of

650
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:06,360
his comparables aren't very great. One
of the ones that I pulled up was

651
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:12,239
Grubauer just because he's similar in the
same team anyways, and currently in the

652
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,880
D two Draft plus two he's slightly
higher than Grubauer was, although Grubauer got

653
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:20,320
a lot higher after that. I
don't know. Maybe that's somewhat real equivalent,

654
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,320
but who knows. In looking at
the our Fantasy Hockey Life player card,

655
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:28,880
most of it's not very good.
Especially the expected goals per goal allowed

656
00:41:29,119 --> 00:41:32,039
is really low, so he's saving
less than expected. His goals against per

657
00:41:32,079 --> 00:41:37,119
sixty and saves say percentage is good, but overall it didn't look all that

658
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,800
great. But what can you tell
us, Skat with your instincts about Nicholas

659
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:45,599
Coco. He's actually the one that
I have a little bit of a softer

660
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:51,599
spot for. It's always really interesting
to look at those NHLR probabilities in each

661
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:57,480
subsequent year post draft glancing it.
For Grubauer, his was pretty low.

662
00:41:57,599 --> 00:42:01,320
Is Draft plus two year, he
just made his way to the ECHL.

663
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:05,480
He ended up not going from the
OHL to playing in the AHL. He

664
00:42:05,519 --> 00:42:09,400
did most of his time in the
ECHL, which obviously tended at that point

665
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:13,840
to be a red flag for a
lot of teams. Guy, a lot

666
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:17,280
of teams didn't have the full time
goaltending instruction at the EHL level at that

667
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:21,679
point. So I was back in
twenty twelve. Now they're doing a better

668
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,679
job of giving more consistent coaching and
guidance at all three levels. Yeah,

669
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:30,480
I like how Coco plays. I
think he has a more transferable to the

670
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:35,960
North American game, which once again
might just be Krpaul loves to train their

671
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,000
goaltenders to play a game that can
transition to other leagues and other ice surfaces,

672
00:42:39,039 --> 00:42:44,079
and they're playing styles pretty well.
And that's what he looks like.

673
00:42:44,159 --> 00:42:47,840
He doesn't doesn't like to challenge too
aggressively. He likes to use his hands.

674
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,559
He has a pretty fun glove hand
and likes to make some real personality

675
00:42:52,599 --> 00:42:59,320
filled saves. Not that's a super
analytical sounding evaluation of a guy, but

676
00:43:00,199 --> 00:43:05,519
he does do a really good job
of playing with a lot of decisiveness behind

677
00:43:05,559 --> 00:43:08,960
his movement. He has a lot
of intentional movement, and seeing that from

678
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:13,519
a guy who did start to struggle
a little bit from the numbers perspective this

679
00:43:13,559 --> 00:43:19,280
past year. That's reassuring we didn't
really see his technique slipping much. I

680
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,239
do want to see him make his
way over to North America as well,

681
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:30,880
just because I think that Finland's overall
pro system is Silda wild West, and

682
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,400
once there's a log jam in a
system and they have to start loaning guys

683
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,639
to other teams, you might get
loaned to a team that's super competitive like

684
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:43,800
Carpotter, like Olu and like Helsinki, and sometimes you might end up on

685
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,760
a team like the Pelicans, hour
not a super competitive team all the time.

686
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:53,639
And so I think seeing him make
his way over here to get some

687
00:43:53,800 --> 00:44:00,639
of that just hitting the ground running. I'd ideally like to see him before

688
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:05,960
VI as a boy, but I
don't think that's likely. Those are probably

689
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:10,199
the two that I think have the
most NHL probability to their games, though,

690
00:44:10,199 --> 00:44:15,199
because I do like how he plays
and I think he still has room

691
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:21,199
for some consistency, but his overall
technique and confidence is where I want it

692
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,599
to be at this point in his
career. Nice we do have a couple

693
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:28,440
other ones, one main one and
a quick one. The next one is

694
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:32,639
another goalie who's in the Carpat system, and that's Visa vedem Pa six foot

695
00:44:32,679 --> 00:44:36,639
two, one hundred and eighty three
pounds, six round pick, just last

696
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:40,960
draft in twenty twenty three, and
so he's in that same system. His

697
00:44:42,199 --> 00:44:46,679
equivalency kind of low, fifteen sixteen
percent so far, it doesn't have a

698
00:44:46,679 --> 00:44:51,760
whole lot of great com Scott Clemenson
is one that he looks like, but

699
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:53,800
he's also really young. As we're
recording this in early May, he's still

700
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:59,199
only eighteen, so he played this
whole season as an eighteen year old,

701
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:04,760
so he's got a long way to
go in terms of developing and building.

702
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:08,960
Looking at his Fantasy Hockey Life player
card, his goals against per sixty say

703
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:14,280
percentage, those look good, and
his expected goals number or a goal against

704
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:17,639
are actually a little bit better than
Nicholas Coco, so that's always interesting.

705
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:22,440
But he was mainly in the U
twenty League and in the Mestis, so

706
00:45:22,519 --> 00:45:27,440
a little bit easier competition for sure. But what your instincts tell us about

707
00:45:27,559 --> 00:45:34,840
Visa Vedempa. I'm fascinated by that
pick just because I think putting all of

708
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:38,039
your eggs into the basket of and
not all of them, but picking two

709
00:45:38,039 --> 00:45:46,559
guys from within the same system overseas
gives the krack and a chance to keep

710
00:45:46,599 --> 00:45:51,800
a closer eye on the development the
familiarity. They can really shape their system

711
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:57,920
around how those goaltenders are being coached
and developed, but also really relies on

712
00:45:59,559 --> 00:46:04,559
that teams goaltenders doing well, and
I think they've had some really good prospects

713
00:46:04,639 --> 00:46:07,559
come out of that system. But
it makes me a little nervous seeing both

714
00:46:07,599 --> 00:46:12,639
of them. I do think that
team does run the risk of having logjams

715
00:46:12,679 --> 00:46:15,639
because they do have so many good
goaltenders, which is how we ended up

716
00:46:15,679 --> 00:46:19,960
seeing him only play I think it
was fifteen games in the Messes last year

717
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,079
and then was in U twenty for
the rest of the year, which I

718
00:46:22,079 --> 00:46:25,960
would argue isn't necessarily where he needed
to be at that point. He probably

719
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:34,159
should have been playing pro exclusively last
year, and that might have had something

720
00:46:34,199 --> 00:46:37,599
to do with seeing his numbers look
not super amazing from a raw standpoint,

721
00:46:37,639 --> 00:46:40,760
just because he did bounce around a
lot last year. He played on the

722
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:46,079
U twenty team. He played on
the essentially their version of a farm team,

723
00:46:46,079 --> 00:46:50,880
which was their Mestis team, and
then he was also loaned to Carpot

724
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,719
for a point during the season.
He didn't actually get into any games,

725
00:46:54,519 --> 00:46:59,039
but my assumption, based on what
their goaltending coach has told me in the

726
00:46:59,079 --> 00:47:01,480
past, is that they brought him
up so he was able to spend some

727
00:47:01,599 --> 00:47:07,519
time going through practices with them,
seeing how they play their game, seeing

728
00:47:07,559 --> 00:47:09,800
their drills, their systems, and
spending some time one on one with their

729
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:15,719
goalie coach before he went back down
to his team. So that's even though

730
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:20,320
Finland's not a super huge country,
that's still a lot of travel and adjustment

731
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:25,639
within a year, and so I'm
assuming that probably didn't give him a chance

732
00:47:25,679 --> 00:47:30,440
to really find a solid rhythm with
just one team. He was playing for

733
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,239
the U twenty team, getting loaned
up to the farm team, and then

734
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:37,920
also spending some time with the LEGA
team just to get the experience of being

735
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:42,639
there, and they do that with
their prospects from time to time. With

736
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:45,320
him, I think we truly have
to wait and see, because my assumption

737
00:47:45,519 --> 00:47:49,239
is if he played half the year
and message last year, he'll play the

738
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,320
full year in the pros next year, and we'll see if they give him

739
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,119
a chance to play any games for
Carbot and if he does, how he

740
00:47:54,199 --> 00:47:58,119
handles that, or if they'll give
him a chance to really just stay with

741
00:47:58,199 --> 00:48:04,800
one team throughout the year at the
mustiest level and sort of gained some consistency

742
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,960
with his numbers, at which point
he might end up leapfrogging some other people

743
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:13,840
in the system. Yeah, definitely
a good point early to tell on that

744
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:15,559
one. The other one I wanted
to throw real quickly is there was a

745
00:48:15,599 --> 00:48:21,119
free agent signing Victor Austman, who
is six foot four, two hundred and

746
00:48:21,159 --> 00:48:24,000
five pounds. He's Swedish, but
he's been in North America for a while

747
00:48:24,039 --> 00:48:28,039
now. He played with the Chicago
steel and then he was four years at

748
00:48:28,039 --> 00:48:32,360
the University of Maine and he was
a college free agent signed by the Kraken

749
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:37,119
was pretty good overall at times in
May not the strongest program, so some

750
00:48:37,159 --> 00:48:40,719
of his numbers look a little subpar. But he's a big guy and just

751
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:45,960
wondering if you have any quick thoughts
on him. I'm excited to see what

752
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:51,480
he does in Coachella Valley next year
because that is one of the teams that

753
00:48:51,559 --> 00:48:54,599
I get to see fairly regularly.
They play pretty frequently against the San Diego

754
00:48:54,639 --> 00:48:59,119
goals, so I get to watch
them in person a lot. I think

755
00:48:59,159 --> 00:49:05,559
that Maine has a really good development
system as far as their goaltending prospects go.

756
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,599
His numbers were never super stellar there, but he did get playing time

757
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:15,280
all four years he was in college, which some of those guys their first

758
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:19,719
year or two, they might get
one game, maybe two or three.

759
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:22,960
And he did stay with the same
team from twenty twenty until he graduated,

760
00:49:23,039 --> 00:49:31,239
which I think is something that Seattle
is probably hoping will benefit them because we

761
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:38,480
saw, i would say, an
abnormal amount of movement among goaltenders just because

762
00:49:38,559 --> 00:49:44,760
of the way that the COVID pandemic
shut down a lot of collegiate goaltending.

763
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:49,880
Obviously, the ivys had no games, and a lot of the major juniors

764
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,800
didn't have any games, so a
lot of guys were bumped to playing in

765
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:58,320
the USHL, So some guys ended
up having extra eligibility and ending up ended

766
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,920
up not getting to play at all
for a year too, So we saw

767
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:02,840
a lot of movement. So seeing
a guy who played for the same team

768
00:50:04,119 --> 00:50:07,559
all four years is something that I'm
assuming Seattle said, that's an asset to

769
00:50:07,639 --> 00:50:12,800
us. He didn't change coaches and
systems multiple times throughout his college career.

770
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,800
Let's see what we can do with
us. And from what I have seen

771
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:21,039
from their goaltenders at the HL level, they do a good job with them,

772
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:23,639
so it'll be fun to see where
he fits in. I think right

773
00:50:23,639 --> 00:50:27,719
now it looks like that's a minor
league signing, but he could end up

774
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,320
surprising us. Great, thanks so
much, gaff agaving. That's your instincts

775
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:45,719
on the Seattle Crack and goalies will
be back right after this. A dig,

776
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:57,480
good Dynasty dig, Victor, Oh, how I've missed this song?

777
00:50:57,679 --> 00:51:00,440
Oh how I missed this dig?
I love me some Dynasty dig. This

778
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:04,159
is the part of the show if
you haven't been with us in previous years,

779
00:51:04,159 --> 00:51:10,320
where Victor and I preview three players
of each team, three of the

780
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:15,039
prospects most interesting, talk a little
bit about their system in general, but

781
00:51:15,199 --> 00:51:21,199
really try to dive deep, and
we have FHL scouts who do deep dives

782
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,400
into tape on each one of these
guys and give us some reports that we'll

783
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:27,960
provide to you. So we're starting
with the Kraken. Obviously, they have

784
00:51:28,039 --> 00:51:30,960
the eighth best odds in the lottery. This is one of the very few

785
00:51:30,039 --> 00:51:36,440
episodes that we are recording prior to
the lottery drawing. But odds are they'll

786
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:40,079
be a round eighth. Marchiordano and
Alex Weinberg trades in the past, Seattle

787
00:51:40,159 --> 00:51:45,559
traded them away. They're going to
get an extra second and an extra third

788
00:51:45,639 --> 00:51:52,280
this year. And in Victor's rankings
of the dynasty systems or the prospect systems,

789
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:57,400
I believe I count this as you're
tied for seventeenth best team. The

790
00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,960
Kraken are mid and why are they
mid because been drafted in a couple of

791
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:04,880
years now. Nonetheless, they've got
a couple of big ones and starts.

792
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:08,000
Victor with your no brainer, who
is it? Yeah, that would be

793
00:52:08,079 --> 00:52:14,280
Carson Raykoff. Carson Raykoff, who
was their fiftieth overall pick just last year,

794
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:17,079
twenty twenty three. He's a six
two hundred and ninety four pound center

795
00:52:17,199 --> 00:52:22,159
slash left wing and he's been playing
with Kitchener the Rangers in the OHL for

796
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:27,440
the past few seasons. He had
fifty nine points in sixty eight games during

797
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:30,800
his draft season. This past season, he bumped that up to ninety five

798
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:34,920
points in sixty games and eleven points
in ten playoff games is not too bad

799
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:39,360
either, so pretty nice. He's
going to be back there in Kitchener again

800
00:52:39,559 --> 00:52:45,519
next season because of his January seventh
birth date and so he's not eligible for

801
00:52:45,599 --> 00:52:49,719
the AHL quite yet, but he
did some pretty nice things there and he'll

802
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:53,320
look to build on that. It's
interesting looking at his playing card from Mitch

803
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:58,280
Brown, he had an overall of
an eighty three ninety five for offense,

804
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,679
seventy for transition in twenty two for
defense. I always thought he was a

805
00:53:00,679 --> 00:53:07,639
bit better defensively than that, but
the metrics that Mitch tracks did not give

806
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:10,880
him much did not do him much
justice. But his expected goals and shots

807
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:15,639
per sixty are pretty much off the
charts, So that's pretty fantastic and you

808
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:21,440
love to see that for fantasy obviously. He also is really good at making

809
00:53:21,519 --> 00:53:25,239
dangerous passes to the slot and other
things like primary point involvement and game score.

810
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:29,360
We'd like to see his defense beef
up a little bit next year.

811
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,079
That'd be something to look for.
Looking at his Fantasy Hockey Life player card,

812
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:36,800
you can again see that his shots
per sixty and goals per sixty and

813
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:40,079
his assists for sixty all are top
percentile of the league. His hits and

814
00:53:40,119 --> 00:53:44,519
blocks aren't nothing, but they're more
average, so he does have a high

815
00:53:44,559 --> 00:53:47,960
batch, but that's almost entirely driven
by his shots, So I would consider

816
00:53:49,039 --> 00:53:53,280
him a met her medium full banger's
value because it's going to be a little

817
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:58,639
bit diminished in those other stats.
So that's Carson Raykoff. We also have

818
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:02,119
some advanced A metric player cards that
you can see on there. It looks

819
00:54:02,199 --> 00:54:05,880
a little bit messy, but you
can see that he's really good for scoring

820
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,480
chances and does some decent with puck
battles, but some of his defensive metrics

821
00:54:08,519 --> 00:54:12,000
aren't good. Some of them are
okay, so it's a mixed bag there.

822
00:54:12,519 --> 00:54:15,039
So that's a little bit about him. But Jesse, we have more

823
00:54:15,039 --> 00:54:20,440
information from OURFHL scout. We sure
do. Jeremy, our head scout,

824
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:25,079
is providing all of the Seattle crack
in scouting reports today, So shouts to

825
00:54:25,159 --> 00:54:30,639
our guy Jeremy Vee, who does
an excellent job on mister ray Cooff.

826
00:54:30,159 --> 00:54:34,800
As far as skating, although he's
very upright, he can get up ahead

827
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:38,119
of steam. Combined with a long
reach, he can take defenders wide and

828
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:42,480
create a play using his skating ability. He's also strong on his feet,

829
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:47,039
uses his body to protect the puck
for passing. He's a smooth puck handler,

830
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:52,599
comfortable quarterback in the offense with the
puck on his stick. Passing is

831
00:54:52,679 --> 00:54:59,960
crisp and smart shooting, powerful shot
for Raykoff and has shown to be dangerous

832
00:55:00,039 --> 00:55:02,639
from long range. Jeremy didn't necessarily
see him as a sniper, but he

833
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:07,559
is a threat from all over the
offensive zone IQ vision, anticipation, panic,

834
00:55:07,599 --> 00:55:12,480
and poise. He is very poised
with the puck and Raykoff has good

835
00:55:12,639 --> 00:55:15,840
vision for his teammates or Jeremy'd like
to see him use his speed in size

836
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:21,039
a bit more aggressively on the fore
check. More of a passive pressure guy.

837
00:55:21,159 --> 00:55:23,599
From Jeremy's looks, defense, got
a good reach, willing to fight

838
00:55:23,639 --> 00:55:29,159
for pucks. Not a standout defensively, not a negative, and so overall

839
00:55:29,159 --> 00:55:32,760
the best asset was the shot.
The biggest concern is he may not have

840
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:36,679
a standout skill. He may be
a bit of a jack of all trades,

841
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:40,280
master of none who gets relegated to
third line type duties because of that

842
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:45,840
profile. On the other hand,
the top tier outcome, Jeremy says,

843
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:49,800
could be a top line winger with
seventy to eighty points if everything broke,

844
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:53,000
And that's because he's got a lot
of talent and hockey sense. Just not

845
00:55:53,039 --> 00:55:57,760
sure. Jeremy's not sure how it's
going to translate to the NHL level.

846
00:55:58,559 --> 00:56:01,800
The fiftieth percentile. To provide that
fiftieth percentile, what would be the most

847
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:07,280
commoner, the most average outcome for
this player, third line win or playing

848
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:10,199
in all situations for Ray Coff,
and that would be because he doesn't have

849
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:14,599
one of lead skill to allow him
to carry a line or takeover games on

850
00:56:14,639 --> 00:56:19,400
his own. Stylistic comparable in terms
of the way his game might come together,

851
00:56:20,079 --> 00:56:24,440
and Jeremy sees Jonathan Huberto in that
area. With regards to Fercus versus

852
00:56:24,519 --> 00:56:28,639
Ray Coff, little tease ahead that
we're gonna be talking Fercus in a little

853
00:56:28,679 --> 00:56:34,920
while. Both were fifty plus goal
scorers in their CHL seasons. But Jeremy

854
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,159
may be a little bit more interested
in the next guy that we'll be talking

855
00:56:37,199 --> 00:56:42,599
about. Anyway, more on that
guy later. Our friend, the NHL

856
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:47,519
ranking, Mason Black NHL Ranking on
X sent out a poll. We're doing

857
00:56:47,639 --> 00:56:54,320
poles of every prospect versus maybe somebody
who's a bit similar. In Mason's performance

858
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:59,400
analysis, Carson ray Cooff was put
up in a Twitter poll or x Pole

859
00:56:59,519 --> 00:57:07,280
versus houton In and Victor Carson Raykoff
won in a rop ninety two to eight

860
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:12,599
percent. Is that how you This
is a blaw? Victor. Is Raycoff

861
00:57:12,679 --> 00:57:16,440
that much your favorite among these two? I think so. Yeah, that's

862
00:57:16,559 --> 00:57:22,440
pretty dramatic to see that percentage.
Maybe a bit recency bias because people are

863
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:27,320
a little bit maybe more familiar with
Raykoff as he's been drafted a little bit

864
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:30,440
more recently, and he was at
the World Juniors and we haven't seen houton

865
00:57:30,519 --> 00:57:35,440
In as much front and center,
so maybe that's part of it. But

866
00:57:35,559 --> 00:57:38,360
I do think he is better.
I don't think that you should be so

867
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:42,079
down on houton In though, and
we get to Tampa, he will mention

868
00:57:42,199 --> 00:57:45,760
he's he did great. We've mentioned
many times how the Legua is a really

869
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:49,400
low scoring league and he went back
there and put up two back to back

870
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:52,599
really solid seasons in a low scoring
league. We should see him in the

871
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:55,519
HL next year, so that'll be
nice. But yeah, we know Tampa

872
00:57:55,599 --> 00:58:00,920
system doesn't have a lot of great
prospects. But I think he's pretty good.

873
00:58:00,199 --> 00:58:04,920
It just can't compete with Raykoff in
this situation. I think the upside

874
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:07,320
there is much bigger when you look
at these two. In the Hockey Prospecting

875
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:12,320
Model, Yes, Carson Raykoff has
gone down a bit in terms of his

876
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:15,519
star probability, it's down to eight
percent, but that's just because he didn't

877
00:58:15,519 --> 00:58:19,000
blow the doors off his D plus
one and he had a little bit low

878
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:22,760
D minus one season. But I
think he's looking overall really good. The

879
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:27,320
pnhily up at almost seventy and I
think that's quite a bit higher than where

880
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:31,000
Hutan has been under five percent star
potential his whole time. So I think

881
00:58:31,079 --> 00:58:36,159
that jives that makes a lot of
sense, and the I should mention that

882
00:58:36,199 --> 00:58:38,760
the j Fresh card for Raykoff is
a little bit more pessimistic, has him

883
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:42,760
auch just three percent chance of being
a star at sixteen percent chance of being

884
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:45,679
NHLer. I think that Nhller probably
is much higher. And I think what

885
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:50,440
you and Jeremy alluded to the fact
that he might be just one of these

886
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:52,599
really smart players. He gets assigned
to more of a middle six role,

887
00:58:52,719 --> 00:58:57,679
that might be realistic for him because
he is someone who can hang and maybe

888
00:58:57,679 --> 00:59:00,000
he doesn't have the offensive pop of
having won great skill. But I also

889
00:59:00,039 --> 00:59:05,760
think he's one of these guys that
the sum of the parts are greater than

890
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:07,800
the sum. The total is greater
than the some of the part. That's

891
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:12,440
what I'm trying to say. So
he could because he doesn't have one outstanding

892
00:59:12,519 --> 00:59:15,760
skill, that doesn't necessarily mean he
can't be a seventy eighty point guy.

893
00:59:15,079 --> 00:59:19,639
He can leverage them all together.
People will talk about mark Stone, none

894
00:59:19,639 --> 00:59:22,320
of his attributes are elite, but
when he puts it all together, he's

895
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:27,559
a really fantastic player. So maybe
that's Raykoff, or maybe he just ends

896
00:59:27,639 --> 00:59:30,199
up being more of a middle six
forty to fifty point guy. I think

897
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:34,039
both of those outcomes are possible,
but I would lean more towards him being

898
00:59:34,039 --> 00:59:38,199
a point producer. Victor. Again, if you're not familiar with this format,

899
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:42,599
we got your no brainer prospect.
We end with the keep your eye

900
00:59:42,599 --> 00:59:45,000
on prospect, but in the middle
it's the guy you need to know.

901
00:59:45,039 --> 00:59:51,639
Who is it? That would be
Jagger Furcus. Furcus was twenty twenty three

902
00:59:51,639 --> 00:59:57,840
to thirty fifth overall pick and I'm
sorry twenty twenty two thirty fifth overall pick

903
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:00,920
without Yeah, so I thought a
couple of years ago five eleven then one

904
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,480
hundred and sixty one pounds. I
think he was a little smaller than that

905
01:00:02,519 --> 01:00:07,400
when he was drafted. He's still
pretty slight. He plays for Moose Jaw

906
01:00:07,639 --> 01:00:12,440
in the WHL, and he had
some pretty good numbers in his draft season.

907
01:00:12,599 --> 01:00:15,000
He didn't go up too much in
his draft plus one season. That

908
01:00:15,079 --> 01:00:17,039
was a bit of a criticism.
Last year he only went up by four

909
01:00:17,079 --> 01:00:22,559
points in the same number of games. But this year he's gone just about

910
01:00:22,639 --> 01:00:28,000
two points per game, and that's
a huge increase in his point production,

911
01:00:28,119 --> 01:00:30,320
so that's great, and to two
points per game in the playoffs eighteen points

912
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:35,320
and nine games. And Moustraw is
still playing as we record this, looking

913
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:38,599
great. His player tracking data from
Mitch Brown looks pretty phenomenal all around,

914
01:00:38,679 --> 01:00:43,079
offense, transition, defense, it
all looks really good. His transition play

915
01:00:43,159 --> 01:00:47,320
is particularly good and his expected goals
are way better, which is interesting because

916
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:52,039
he was known more for his shot, but his expected goals numbers went down

917
01:00:52,079 --> 01:00:53,800
his expected assist numbers went up,
so maybe they were like, work on

918
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:59,199
your playmaking mission accomplished. He did
that really well, and he also makes

919
01:00:59,239 --> 01:01:02,639
some really dangerous plast passes to the
middle advantages created. His player card looks

920
01:01:02,679 --> 01:01:07,199
really good from Mitch. His FHL
player card also looks interesting, although you

921
01:01:07,239 --> 01:01:10,119
can tell very clearly that he is
not a hitter or a blocker. So

922
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:14,719
his bash if you like shots,
is good, but doesn't really have the

923
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:19,360
hits or blocks very much. But
he's scoring. He's toying with the WHL.

924
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:22,320
His goals assist points all that is
off the charts, and that's what

925
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:25,880
that measures. So we know that
he's almost too good for the WHL at

926
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:30,079
this point. This will be his
last season. He's twenty and he just

927
01:01:30,079 --> 01:01:32,239
turned twenty, and so he should
be in the AHL next year, and

928
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:37,679
so we'll be interesting to see that. But we have a little bit more

929
01:01:37,679 --> 01:01:42,559
information that we need justin we'll get
that from our FHL scout. Jeremy once

930
01:01:42,559 --> 01:01:46,039
again says as far as skating,
it's just average. He's not a bad

931
01:01:46,039 --> 01:01:51,239
skater, but it's not Fergus's standout
skill. It doesn't have the breakaway or

932
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:54,480
burn you wide speed. He's adept
at moving in smaller, tighter spaces with

933
01:01:54,519 --> 01:02:00,440
the puck, which points to good
foot speed in terms of passing and handling

934
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:02,920
is above average. He's quick to
move the puck once getting it, does

935
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:07,519
so with accuracy. A touch on
passes is underrated given that a shot is

936
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:14,679
most talked about asset. Just as
said, shooting is elked from Jacob Furcus.

937
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:17,880
He's got a very strong wrist snapshot
and it's going to score goals at

938
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:22,079
every level he's at. It's not
Austin Matthews, is not Connor Bdard,

939
01:02:22,119 --> 01:02:27,320
but it should be the singular skill
that keeps giving him chances to stick the

940
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:31,800
IQ elite. This is actually Jeremy's
favorite trait of Fercus. The IQ both

941
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:35,760
on and off the puck is great. Part of why he scores so many

942
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:39,239
goals is his ability to float to
soft spots of the defense. Seems like

943
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:43,880
he's always lurking off the puck.
On the power play with the puck,

944
01:02:44,239 --> 01:02:47,079
he seems to always know where teammates
are and is able to make quick passes

945
01:02:47,159 --> 01:02:52,039
without hesitation. We're checking this above
average so much for him being a little

946
01:02:52,039 --> 01:02:57,000
guy right plays with some tenacity.
Fercus is willing to go to the dirty

947
01:02:57,039 --> 01:03:00,119
areas to get the puck. He's
not big, but he plays the body

948
01:03:00,119 --> 01:03:04,920
smartly. To keep defenders on the
boards and get the puck back defense average.

949
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:07,880
He's a winger now, he back
checks hard. He defends with a

950
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:12,480
stick, but could use a bit
more anticipation to unlock his offense. So

951
01:03:12,559 --> 01:03:15,760
the best asset was the IQ and
the vision. The biggest concern was the

952
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:19,519
straight line speed. This is what
he's going to need, Jeremy says,

953
01:03:19,559 --> 01:03:22,280
to hit that potential. The top
outcome for this guy point per game,

954
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:27,280
first line, first power play winger. That's the upside here, but the

955
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:30,519
justification for the top tier. If
everything clicks, he could be a future

956
01:03:30,559 --> 01:03:35,840
thirty five to forty goal scorer with
assists. Jeremy thinks he'll be somewhat linemate

957
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:38,880
dependent, but could end up in
a nice running mate role with Matty Benier's

958
01:03:39,079 --> 01:03:44,760
or Sene Wright in a few years. The median outcome for this guy middle

959
01:03:45,079 --> 01:03:49,480
six fifty point guy twenty to twenty
five goals, and that's because his shots

960
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:53,000
good enough to score in the NHL
and teams like that. The worst case

961
01:03:53,039 --> 01:03:58,599
scenario, Jeremy ses is a Daniel
Sprong type good secondary score, but not

962
01:03:59,719 --> 01:04:02,400
a good enough skater to play with
the big boys. So the style is

963
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:06,280
the comparable. They're Victor Arbitson,
Ellie Tolvinen. Yeah, why not.

964
01:04:06,719 --> 01:04:13,519
The final thoughts from Jeremy in the
Raykoff Report, he he talks about both

965
01:04:13,719 --> 01:04:18,840
and yes he prefers Furcus. So
we'll see about that. NHL ranking.

966
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:26,000
Mason black Sen out a poll Jaeger
Fergus's competition in the pole Riley height of

967
01:04:26,039 --> 01:04:30,039
the Minnesota Wild and the results are
in Jagar Fercus has got the moves over

968
01:04:30,159 --> 01:04:35,039
Riley Hyde fifty five to forty five
percent. Victor, is that the way

969
01:04:35,079 --> 01:04:40,159
you lean? I don't think so. I think I would take height here

970
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:43,400
and he's got the Riley's got the
height advantage. There, you go,

971
01:04:43,559 --> 01:04:47,280
you gotta take him. He actually
literally does have the height advantage as well.

972
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:51,840
Although they're neither one of these guys
are big. They're actually technically the

973
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:56,400
same size. But I think Furcus
was a little bit shorter when he was

974
01:04:56,480 --> 01:05:00,760
drafted. I think the size,
the thick height is bit thicker. He's

975
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:03,400
one hundred and eighty three pounds to
win sixty one. And that's always been

976
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:06,760
the concern about Fercus is how is
he gonna How's he going to be when

977
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:11,639
he plays against the bigger stronger,
tougher competition. We really haven't seen that

978
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:15,000
yet. We won't until he plays
in the AHL, so that'll be interesting.

979
01:05:15,039 --> 01:05:18,719
And he is just dominating the WHL. I mean, he what he's

980
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:26,119
done. He's basically paced Furcus,
but a year younger. He's basically doing

981
01:05:26,159 --> 01:05:29,440
almost two points per game, a
year before Fergus did it. Now,

982
01:05:29,519 --> 01:05:33,039
team in context and all that matters, so it isn't necessarily even, but

983
01:05:33,199 --> 01:05:36,360
I do think he I think I
would lean Height a little bit. I

984
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:40,880
think he's just a very smart,
creative player and the upside is huge,

985
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:44,840
so I like that. I also
trust Minnesota's drafting maybe a little bit more,

986
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:46,360
although Seattle I think has done a
pretty good job. Some of them.

987
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:48,880
I just like the last guy will
talk about. I disagree with a

988
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:53,760
little bit some of their picks,
but overall, I think both of these

989
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:58,400
guys are worth holding. I would
prefer Height. Looking at the hockey prospecting,

990
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:01,199
forty nine percent for High, fourteen
percent for Fercus in terms of star

991
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:06,840
potential, so that's not bad.
Although you should we should say Fercus has

992
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:11,480
some pretty nice comps. The guys
like Alish Hemski, Peter Forsberg, Timo

993
01:06:11,559 --> 01:06:15,800
Solani are guys that sort of look
similar in this model, but I think

994
01:06:15,119 --> 01:06:19,039
they those superstars look a little bit
better and their star potential and their D

995
01:06:19,119 --> 01:06:21,760
plus two was a little bit higher
than his. Don't get too excited if

996
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:25,320
you're a Fercus fan, but I
do think, as Jeremy said, there's

997
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:29,039
certainly a decent world where that ends
up working out pretty well. And Fercus

998
01:06:29,119 --> 01:06:32,599
is a pretty great producer, so
yeah, he's I like the progression.

999
01:06:32,639 --> 01:06:35,519
I just think we really need to
see what he does next year in the

1000
01:06:35,679 --> 01:06:42,559
HL Jesse. Indeed, now Victor, the keep your eye on prospect is

1001
01:06:42,559 --> 01:06:49,079
who that would be? Edward Schalle. Edward Schalle pronounce spelled sal E twenty

1002
01:06:50,559 --> 01:06:56,039
twenty three, twentieth overall pick six' to one, one hundred and seventy

1003
01:06:56,039 --> 01:07:00,840
pounds. He had a pretty interesting
so he was in chech Ya last season

1004
01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:04,079
when he was drafted, and he
had fourteen points and forty three games.

1005
01:07:04,079 --> 01:07:08,440
He looked really good at the U
eighteens and spots at the under twenty.

1006
01:07:08,639 --> 01:07:11,960
Then he came over to the OHL
and he was with Kitchener and then Barry

1007
01:07:12,559 --> 01:07:17,039
and so we've seen actually pretty modest
production from him, minimal under point per

1008
01:07:17,079 --> 01:07:20,280
game. For a draft plus one
who played in the pro league, you'd

1009
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:24,400
expect them to go to the OHL
and just dominate, and he definitely did

1010
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:29,400
not do that. And his U
twenty performance this season, he had seven

1011
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:32,800
points and seven games, but in
typical Edwards Schale fashion, he was invisible

1012
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:36,159
for a large part of those games
and then would show up and score at

1013
01:07:36,199 --> 01:07:39,239
times, which I know some people
are like, who cares as long as

1014
01:07:39,239 --> 01:07:42,039
these scores? I know coaches care, and a lot of other people care

1015
01:07:42,039 --> 01:07:44,519
about what you do the rest of
the game. So that's always the concern

1016
01:07:44,599 --> 01:07:46,480
with him. And if you look
at Mitch Brown's tracking data, it is

1017
01:07:47,159 --> 01:07:53,199
you usually see a lot of blue
in these Jesse a lot of blue was

1018
01:07:53,239 --> 01:07:57,000
the good color, and what do
we see here? Nothing but red almost.

1019
01:07:57,039 --> 01:08:00,639
I think the only thing that looks
good is his expected goal and shots

1020
01:08:00,639 --> 01:08:04,119
look pretty good. Some of his
controlled entries and transition success looks good.

1021
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:11,440
Everything else looks really bad. His
expected assists, his defensive plays, retrievals,

1022
01:08:11,639 --> 01:08:15,800
his off puck assists, advantages,
created primary point involvement. It's all

1023
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:18,199
looking really bad. His overall scores
twenty fifth percentile, which is just not

1024
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:21,640
something you see usually in a first
round pick. Now, minds you,

1025
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:26,960
Victor, that's for five games that
were track for that sample. Yeah,

1026
01:08:27,159 --> 01:08:30,119
that is potentially a sample sampling size
issue, so we don't really know,

1027
01:08:30,239 --> 01:08:34,039
but I do think that is representative
because that's what I've seen from Charlotte when

1028
01:08:34,039 --> 01:08:38,039
you watch the whole game and not
just the highlights, that there's a lot

1029
01:08:38,079 --> 01:08:42,399
to be desired from his game.
When you look at the FHL player card,

1030
01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:45,159
you can see that for the OHL, his goals, assists, and

1031
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:50,039
shots are pretty decent for the league. So his points stand out at like

1032
01:08:50,079 --> 01:08:55,000
eightieth percentile. His hits and blocks
are like negative. He doesn't really do

1033
01:08:55,119 --> 01:08:58,680
that at all, so his bash
is pretty low, and I have him

1034
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:01,560
rated low because that and some of
his advanced metrics kind of show this.

1035
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:05,760
Like battles, you know, in
terms of puck battles, scoring chances,

1036
01:09:06,279 --> 01:09:11,119
defensive zone play, a lot of
these like Corsi and Fenwick that are all

1037
01:09:11,159 --> 01:09:15,840
low for Challe. So I'm really
eager to see. I haven't actually read

1038
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:17,279
this Jesse, because I wanted to
react to it live. I want to

1039
01:09:17,319 --> 01:09:21,319
hear what Jesse or what Jeremy has
to say about Edward Schalle. So let's

1040
01:09:21,359 --> 01:09:27,560
hear from RFHL leadscout, and so
you shall, he says of Edward Shale.

1041
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:31,119
This skating, first of all,
is elite fly through the newpral zone.

1042
01:09:31,159 --> 01:09:34,640
Should be able to create plays purely
through pushing the pace in transition,

1043
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:40,720
a valuable skill for a winger in
today's NHL in terms of passing and and

1044
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:45,640
handling. Great cross eyed passer able
to thread the needle make seemingly impossible passes

1045
01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:49,600
shooting. Jeremy was surprised there too, in a good way by the shot.

1046
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:55,119
Expected to see a passive pass first
guy, but he's a lethal finisher

1047
01:09:55,199 --> 01:09:58,680
in close. Not going to be
the rush shooter or one timer guy.

1048
01:09:59,159 --> 01:10:02,239
But from the slot down, Schle
can pick his spot. In terms of

1049
01:10:02,279 --> 01:10:06,000
IQ, it's also high end.
He's great at waiting until the last second

1050
01:10:06,079 --> 01:10:11,760
to draw defenders to him and create
openings for checking. Not an aggressive for

1051
01:10:12,039 --> 01:10:16,640
checker, he prefers to play high. Third man doesn't suspect Jeremy doesn't that

1052
01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:23,239
Schalle will excel at creating turnovers defense. Transitional speed helps him on the back

1053
01:10:23,359 --> 01:10:28,039
check, although Jeremy would like to
see him use his frame better defensively to

1054
01:10:28,079 --> 01:10:34,119
control opponents passing envision than was the
overall best asset. The concern Army's heard

1055
01:10:34,159 --> 01:10:40,439
consistency concerns about him. Although he
didn't see him disappear in the games that

1056
01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:45,359
were watched, he is deferring the
industry scouts who's seen a little bit more

1057
01:10:45,399 --> 01:10:49,600
of him. On that point.
The top outcome a top line assists heavy

1058
01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:54,319
winger would be the best you could
expect or hope for what was. Schalle

1059
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:58,399
got the speed, passing and vision
to be an elite playmaker in the league.

1060
01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:02,319
Just a matter whether he able to
find consistency and not frustrate coaches.

1061
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:09,319
But the fiftieth percentile outcome mostly invisible
mid six guy who bounces from team to

1062
01:11:09,399 --> 01:11:12,960
team. If you can't find consistency
and effort, he won't be more than

1063
01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:16,760
a thirteen to fifteen minute a night
guy. The stylistic comparable ooh, this

1064
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:20,920
is interesting Jeff Skinner Charlie getting ready
to chuck some bucks if he's going to

1065
01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:26,640
be Jeff Skinner out there, And
the last thought that Jeremy had on this

1066
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:30,279
the crack can have reinforcements coming with
Fergus, Raykoff and Schally, even if

1067
01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:34,720
two or three of them turn into
every top six players. Next to Brighton.

1068
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:38,479
Vin ears they'll be in good shape
for the next five to seven years.

1069
01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:43,319
So Shally, who does he go
up against in the great competition of

1070
01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:49,760
NHL ranking Mason Black's x poles.
It's Shalle versus Philip Mishar of the Montreal

1071
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:57,520
Canadians, and Mishar wins handle a
sixty one to thirty nine. It sounds

1072
01:11:57,520 --> 01:12:00,520
like you weren't that high on Chale
to begin with, Victor, So do

1073
01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:04,399
you agree with this result? Yeah, as you might imagine, I was

1074
01:12:04,399 --> 01:12:11,520
probably gonna side with whoever was going
against Challe as I do here, and

1075
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:15,439
yeah, I think this is definitely
a question of what you want. If

1076
01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:19,520
you want someone who's a little bit
more sure to make the NHL and to

1077
01:12:19,600 --> 01:12:25,800
be to get minutes, then I
think Maishah is a good pick because I

1078
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:28,920
don't know that the upside is as
high with Philip Meyshar, but he seems

1079
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:31,680
more like he could plug and play
in your bottom six and play minutes.

1080
01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:34,000
So in a deep league that might
be interesting, but for a lot of

1081
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:39,159
people that's not super interesting. And
Challe certainly has more upside, but I

1082
01:12:39,159 --> 01:12:45,319
think there's more risk and more volatility
with his projection and you know who.

1083
01:12:45,359 --> 01:12:47,760
He reminds me of Jesse Edward Scharlay, reminds me of a very poor man

1084
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:53,319
of Guinea kudz nets Off. Guy
has all the skill and when he wants

1085
01:12:53,319 --> 01:12:56,399
to, he can be good,
so good, but he doesn't seem like

1086
01:12:56,439 --> 01:12:59,199
he wants to. And you heard
that a little bit in the report from

1087
01:12:59,319 --> 01:13:01,479
Jeremy, that you would want him
to use his body more, you'd want

1088
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:04,439
him to leverage some of his skills
a little bit more. And that's what

1089
01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:08,399
I see in him too. It's
like, you have the skating and the

1090
01:13:08,439 --> 01:13:10,840
skill and all these things that you
can do, and he just doesn't do

1091
01:13:10,880 --> 01:13:13,359
it most of the time. And
then when he does do it, you're

1092
01:13:13,399 --> 01:13:15,159
like, why don't you do that
thing more often? You're really good at

1093
01:13:15,159 --> 01:13:20,000
it. So it's a little bit
frustrating with Challe. But I don't know

1094
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:23,960
that he's going to figure out how
to turn that on all the time or

1095
01:13:24,039 --> 01:13:28,520
keep it on. So that's my
concern with him. And yes, I

1096
01:13:28,560 --> 01:13:31,560
would definitely prefer maischar If you look
at the hockey prospecting between these two,

1097
01:13:31,640 --> 01:13:35,079
it's pretty low. They're both low, so it's not really much different.

1098
01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:42,199
And I think that both of them
are. There's a little bit more volatility

1099
01:13:42,239 --> 01:13:45,000
with both of just in terms of
what their possible upside is. I don't

1100
01:13:45,039 --> 01:13:50,279
think Maishar should be a target for
people if you're wanting if it's a fourteen

1101
01:13:50,359 --> 01:13:56,359
team dynasty and you're wanting someone to
be seventy point guy. I don't know

1102
01:13:56,439 --> 01:14:00,000
that Meishar has that in him.
Challet does, but I think there's all

1103
01:14:00,119 --> 01:14:03,039
so I have a very good chance
that he's just nothing and just sits on

1104
01:14:03,079 --> 01:14:08,359
your prospect bench and as Jeremy said, maybe becomes a meddling thirteen fourteen minute

1105
01:14:08,359 --> 01:14:11,680
forward that doesn't do very much.
That's I think there's a pretty good likelihood

1106
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:15,960
of that out come. Jesse,
yep. The best comp between these two

1107
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:19,079
guys is that they both have an
S in their name that you have to

1108
01:14:19,199 --> 01:14:24,760
remember to pronounce as a show.
And that's going to wrap up our Dynasty

1109
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:27,680
dig. If you're a patron,
you can listen to my top ten prospect

1110
01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:30,319
recamp that I do on Patreon that
only the patrons can listen to, and

1111
01:14:30,319 --> 01:14:35,119
you can also have access to the
lists and the different ratings that I have.

1112
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:39,039
If you're if you're interested in doing
some scouting with us, You can

1113
01:14:39,039 --> 01:14:43,520
shoot me a DM on Twitter or
Discord, or you can email us and

1114
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:59,359
we'll be right back to close off
the show. A reminder, our show

1115
01:14:59,399 --> 01:15:01,279
is brought to you by fan Tracks. You can move your leagues over there.

1116
01:15:01,399 --> 01:15:04,479
There's all kinds of different sports to
play. They got the most options

1117
01:15:04,479 --> 01:15:10,279
for scoring, salaries, contracts,
rookie eligibility. You can start up your

1118
01:15:10,359 --> 01:15:13,560
leagues right after the season ends.
You can do about anything you want.

1119
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:18,920
People have asked me at different points
for football and for basketball. Gosh,

1120
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:24,479
it would be nice if I could
have college players at least as part of

1121
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:28,640
my Debi system on the bench while
I'm playing my leagues, my dynasty leagues.

1122
01:15:29,079 --> 01:15:32,600
You can do that in fantasy hockey
in those sports. Of course,

1123
01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:35,760
in fantasy hockey, we're gonna have
a problem with that because if there's a

1124
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:40,800
player in college, they've already been
drafted and therefore they can have an NHL

1125
01:15:40,840 --> 01:15:45,600
team designation. But it is an
option that's available. You can't score.

1126
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:48,680
You have to play a separate league
for like college football, to get scoring

1127
01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:51,640
out of them. But if you
have a dynasty league with Debbie, you

1128
01:15:51,680 --> 01:15:56,319
can do that anyway. Lots of
stuff on fantracks HQ, you can read

1129
01:15:56,319 --> 01:16:01,640
about a lot of analysis of fantasy
sports. The Fahl crew is Legion content

1130
01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:06,159
curator Kevin Adams. Boy, we've
been counting on him for this show prep.

1131
01:16:06,359 --> 01:16:11,880
This is his season to shine.
Ryan Downey, the Tidy Admiral.

1132
01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:15,920
You've heard him on the show.
He will be and we will be making

1133
01:16:15,960 --> 01:16:18,039
the moves to get our tidy leagues. Now is the time actually to contact

1134
01:16:18,119 --> 01:16:20,880
Victor if you want to be a
part of it next year as we continue

1135
01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:28,960
to expand our tiered dynasty for patrons
only. Jeremy Vee is our lead scout.

1136
01:16:29,039 --> 01:16:32,119
He's been wrangling people and making sure
the scouting reports are ready for these

1137
01:16:32,159 --> 01:16:38,520
team preview episodes. Jason helps with
our prospect ranks. That's become quite an

1138
01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:42,800
interesting thing as well. Brandon website
groove. You've seen the FHL player cards.

1139
01:16:43,119 --> 01:16:46,159
You know what Brandon can do with
Tableau. He's working on all those

1140
01:16:46,239 --> 01:16:50,159
visualizations. You can see bash for
prospects. You're not going to get that

1141
01:16:50,199 --> 01:16:54,119
anywhere else. If you've got skills, you'd like to lend the show to

1142
01:16:54,159 --> 01:16:58,039
continue to make a good product for
people. Hit Victor up in the discord

1143

on email or on x Daber Hockey
Daber Prospects sponsor this show. Victor's an

1144
01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:06,920

bit of writing as well. Follow his

1145

work as well as this other podcast, Daber Prospect Report with Peter Harlan.

1146
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:15,520
They talk a lot of prospect stuff
kind of exclusively over there. Great compliment

1147
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:20,199
to what you're hearing here. You
can check out Victor's articles at EP Ringside

1148
01:17:20,319 --> 01:17:25,199
where he is part of the fantasy
team with Cam Robinson and Mike Clifford.

1149
01:17:25,279 --> 01:17:29,199
And by the way, by the
way, not for nothing. I'm not

1150
01:17:29,239 --> 01:17:32,960
sure if we mentioned the YouTube enough. Victor's got a Fantasy Hockey Life YouTube

1151
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:38,720
going with a lot of prospect film
breakdown. There's really cool things. If

1152
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:41,359
you're a YouTube type person, if
you want to see a little bit of

1153
01:17:41,399 --> 01:17:45,119
video to go along with things.
I believe that is free. Youtubes tend

1154
01:17:45,119 --> 01:17:47,079
to be free. Go and have
a look at that because there's some cool

1155
01:17:47,079 --> 01:17:50,560
stuff there. I do a solo
show, Dynasty Sports Life. I talk
