I am Jesse Severe and that is Victor Nuno 6 00:00:31,399 --> 00:00:36,719 of EP Ringside. Victor, how you doing. I'm doing great, Jesse. 7 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,079 Yeah, it's a really exciting time. We're recording these a little bit 8 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,079 in advance, but by the time this one's coming out, it is draft 9 00:00:44,119 --> 00:00:48,079 season and draft times, so that's super exciting. And man, what's that 10 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,399 called be on my way to Vegas at the time that this is coming out, 11 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,320 So definitely excited for that. How are you doing. I'm doing good, 12 00:00:55,359 --> 00:00:59,679 man. And while you're off in Vegas, the team that plays in 13 00:00:59,719 --> 00:01:07,000 your environs in North California is gonna be is gonna be on tenter hooks thinking 14 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,519 about that draft. Nobody is more excited about the draft than the Sharks, 15 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,879 I should think at this point. So that is the topic of the topic 16 00:01:17,159 --> 00:01:22,760 du jour to I'm still in Canadians mode, talking French Canadian dajure. Isn't 17 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,560 that it kind of isn't that the sandwich? Don't you order a dajure and 18 00:01:26,599 --> 00:01:30,760 then you dip a roast beef sandwich in some paju? Isn't that how that 19 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,480 works means of the day. No, but maybe you're thinking of some grey 20 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,120 poupon. Grey poupon, great poopon. You have to pronounce it without the 21 00:01:38,239 --> 00:01:42,239 end, Victor poopon? All right, I should have saved saved all this 22 00:01:42,359 --> 00:01:46,560 stick for the Canadians, although then our guests probably would have left us. 23 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:52,040 Instead. We're gonna talk Sharks today. You can come and talk fantasy hockey 24 00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:53,560 with us if you're getting excited for the draft.

That's always 34 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,080 a little bit challenging.

Shang how you doing good? Hi, you 46 00:03:28,199 --> 00:03:31,479 guys in doing great, doing great? Ready to talk a little San Jose 47 00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:37,719 Sharks today, And I gotta be honest, I can't sugarcoat it for you 48 00:03:37,759 --> 00:03:39,759 here, Shang. This might have been rock bottom for the boys and teal. 49 00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:44,759 It was a pretty rough year. They were last in the NHL standings. 50 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,199 They allowed by far the most shots against, the most goals against. 51 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:53,560 They took the fewest shots through though two more hits back of the net. 52 00:03:53,759 --> 00:04:00,919 They had the second fewest goals to the Chicago Blackhawks. Did not get a 53 00:04:00,919 --> 00:04:03,719 win in their first eleven games. Later in the season, maybe not as 54 00:04:03,759 --> 00:04:09,639 well noticed. They had a twelve game a streak without a win. After 55 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,800 the All Star break, they played thirty games, only got four wins. 56 00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:16,240 And today we won't be breaking down Captain Logan Couture, whose career could be 57 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,000 over at this point. Top five scores from last year, Tomash Hurtle, 58 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:26,759 Anthony Duclair. They ran off the playoff teams elsewhere, but this was the 59 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,040 plan. The Sharks are bottoming out on purpose. They have a plan to 60 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,079 get back there. They go into next year with pretty clean books, cap 61 00:04:34,079 --> 00:04:39,800 space for days. What did Sharks fans get out of last year. Aside 62 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,600 from hope that the team is tearing it down to build a back up. 63 00:04:43,439 --> 00:04:48,360 They got macli Celebrany. There you go, Victor, I think that's your 64 00:04:48,399 --> 00:04:55,439 cue. Yeah. I will just add that there has been reticent here to 65 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,759 use the R word, the rebuild, right, and so that has been 66 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,759 some something that has not they've been reluctant to do. And I think Greer 67 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,560 softened around that a bit. Yeah, he's added that to his his spell 68 00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:11,240 check on his iPhone, so he's agreed, he's a check. He's check 69 00:05:11,319 --> 00:05:14,000 mark dead. Okay, yeah, you can use that word. But I 70 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,480 feel like he slowly moved the goalposts from no, we're not going to eventually, 71 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:21,240 Okay, maybe we are. So yeah, let's get into the players. 72 00:05:21,319 --> 00:05:25,920 And of course we're going to talk about maclan Celebrini because I would be 73 00:05:26,079 --> 00:05:29,560 and I think everyone will be completely shocked if he was not a Santose Shark. 74 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,040 On June twenty eighth, when the draft happens, he will be the 75 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,079 first overall pick, and it's finally happened for the Sharks. They finally will 76 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,959 draft a first overall, assuming they don't do something insane like when they traded 77 00:05:40,959 --> 00:05:44,800 the Lacavalier pick back in nineteen ninety eight for what ended up being Brad Stewart. 78 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,920 I've heard a lot of Sharks fans say we've never got the first overall 79 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,560 pick. That's not true. They did actually get it, they didn't actually 80 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:54,279 possess it for any time because they traded it before they trade it. But 81 00:05:54,439 --> 00:05:57,000 this is the first time it's going to happen in the franchise history. So 82 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,480 that's pretty exciting. Yeah. So I don't think they're going to the pick 83 00:06:00,519 --> 00:06:03,160 shang zero zero percent chance they trade the pick. There is a is there 84 00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:10,279 anything less than zero negative? Yeah, so that's not happening. So that's 85 00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:14,360 not happening. The British Columbia kid, who spent part of his formative years 86 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,160 here playing for the junior Sharks is coming home, and I think the first 87 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,399 thing to discuss is will he be with the Sharks. I've heard some people 88 00:06:19,439 --> 00:06:23,399 say there's a chance he goes back to be you. One of the interesting 89 00:06:23,439 --> 00:06:26,800 things that is going to happen is Cole Eiserman, who he played with at 90 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,040 Shattuck Saint Mary, is going to be you. That could be fun. 91 00:06:30,079 --> 00:06:33,199 But he also won the Hoby Baker as the best college hockey player as a 92 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:39,360 seventeen year old, which is really insane, and he's gonna be he would 93 00:06:39,439 --> 00:06:42,959 just be so good in college again. But the Sharks are going to be 94 00:06:42,959 --> 00:06:45,680 bad, and I just wonder what they're going to do. Are they going 95 00:06:45,759 --> 00:06:47,920 to want to send him back to avoid that bad situation or are they going 96 00:06:47,959 --> 00:06:51,480 to want the excitement for the fans to have Celebrini in the building and start 97 00:06:51,519 --> 00:06:56,639 the emergence from this although they are still going to be bad even with Celebrini. 98 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,920 What do you what do you think on that front? Shang is? 99 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,120 Is he going to be with the Shark? I'm gonna frame my answer around 100 00:07:03,399 --> 00:07:08,040 Macklin's perspective because I have to remember that as an NC doubo A prospect, 101 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,319 he has a lot of power in the situation. If he wants to come 102 00:07:11,319 --> 00:07:14,439 out, and the Sharks necessarily don't want him to come out. There's only 103 00:07:14,439 --> 00:07:17,639 so much you can push him or you risk a cutter go the ale situation, 104 00:07:17,879 --> 00:07:21,279 right, and that's you want to avoid that more than anything. And 105 00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:25,839 so I do think that he wants to come out. I do think that 106 00:07:26,879 --> 00:07:30,680 he is the type of player from talking to people around him, he's a 107 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,800 type of player that wants to challenge himself and what's left for him at the 108 00:07:33,879 --> 00:07:38,319 NCUBA level. There's really nothing to win a national championship. But honestly, 109 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,759 he's from Canada. What does he care about the national championship. He wants 110 00:07:41,759 --> 00:07:45,759 to go star his angil career and get his way going to win a Stanley 111 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,759 Cup one day, and so I would be shocked if he goes back. 112 00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:56,360 I don't really see any really good reason for him to go back. I 113 00:07:56,399 --> 00:08:01,319 think the Sharks also believe and everyone believes that he's also AH already. It's 114 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,040 not one of those lip service things that you just say to blockade your top 115 00:08:05,079 --> 00:08:11,160 prospect. He is only seventeen, yes right now, but he is six 116 00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:16,000 foot He's a really solidly built one ninety five, and so there's no real 117 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,920 reason his game is mature. He's good two ways, he cares a lot 118 00:08:18,959 --> 00:08:24,439 defensively, and so there's really not much of a reason for him to go 119 00:08:24,519 --> 00:08:28,959 back. I totally agree. And one of the things you could also say 120 00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:33,519 about Celebrini is not only does he score a lot of points and offensively gifted, 121 00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:37,879 he's a really complete player for a number one overall pick, even just 122 00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:41,799 comparing him to Badard some of the last first overall picks. He may not 123 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,080 have the elite level offense, but I think he's close to Badard, but 124 00:08:45,159 --> 00:08:48,720 his two hundred foot defensive game all situations, I think is way better than 125 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:54,159 Bedard was and I think will be better in the future. So in that 126 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,519 sense, he will have an easier transition to the NHL because I think he 127 00:08:56,519 --> 00:09:01,519 could already easily play a certain in the Sharks top six, but even on 128 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,039 a good team in the top six. So I think from that perspective, 129 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,840 he certainly is NH already, assuming he is. So let's assume that he's 130 00:09:07,919 --> 00:09:13,200 going to be day one with the Sharks playoff season barring injury. Knock on 131 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,559 Wood, what do you think we can expect from him? Most seem to 132 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,360 say that he's somewhere between Jack Hughes and Connor Bodard in terms of what we 133 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,000 might expect from him points wise, and so that would be seventy four point 134 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,080 pace from Bernard and twenty eight point pace from Jack Hughes. Some people forget 135 00:09:28,159 --> 00:09:31,799 Jack Hughes had a really rough rookie season in terms of point production. So 136 00:09:31,879 --> 00:09:35,000 where do you think he falls there? In terms of how many points he's 137 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,039 going to score with this still not great chantose Sharks team, I'm gonna go 138 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,759 on a ledger and say that he's going to be between Jack Hughes and Connor 139 00:09:41,759 --> 00:09:46,639 Bedard. No. Well, seriously though, I think closer to like maybe 140 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,159 forty. If you want to not put too much on him, he should 141 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:54,080 get plenty of playing time. But it is a great noteo to remind people 142 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,480 that just because he's the number one pick, just because he has all this 143 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:01,159 hype arale him, that sometimes it takes time for even for very high picks, 144 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,080 not even guys like Slevkowski who aren't necessarily consensus number ones, but a 145 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,240 guy like sel Bernie who is a consensus number one. Jack Hughes was a 146 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:15,000 consensus number one going back to Steven Stamco's Joe Thornton, right, these are 147 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,919 all guys who struggled offensively their rookie season. But yeah, what will help 148 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,679 cel Brittany is that even if he's not scoring, he should be able to 149 00:10:22,759 --> 00:10:26,639 help you in a third or fourth line center role and just do a good 150 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:31,519 job there as he builds his offense, and that will keep him in the 151 00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:35,159 lineup. It won't render him unplayable. It shouldn't render him unplayable, or 152 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,799 you've got to lower his minutes significantly, like you might with let's say Jack 153 00:10:39,879 --> 00:10:43,480 Hughes, if he's struggling offensively in his rookie year and so anyway, I 154 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:48,200 would say forty in my conservative estimate. I have really checked around with people 155 00:10:48,279 --> 00:10:52,120 yet. But offensively, yeah, he is compared more to Jonathan Taves, 156 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:58,919 but with more skill. Jonathan Tates wasn't exactly ninety. Jhonathanty's never cracked. 157 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,360 I don't think ever cracked ninety points. I think his highway was in the 158 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,480 low eighties. So if you get K's but more scale, if you can 159 00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:07,279 get ninety points out of celebrity, you want to even touch one hundred, 160 00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:11,200 it'll be awesome. Along with his two way play. But I would not 161 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,840 expect him to score at say a badard rate, of course, or even 162 00:11:15,879 --> 00:11:20,279 reach Hugh's peak, which obviously we're seeing right now. We got to talk 163 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:26,519 about all the other players on the team, although celebrinis, I love it. 164 00:11:26,879 --> 00:11:31,480 Mikyle Greenland, look, he had a career year. Lucien made his 165 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,679 dude tip his hat good year STI twelfth season on his fourth team, the 166 00:11:35,759 --> 00:11:41,000 team relied on him a lot. He almost skated twenty one minutes a night, 167 00:11:41,039 --> 00:11:45,120 which led the forwards. He missed thirteen games between his shoulder injury and 168 00:11:45,279 --> 00:11:48,200 some sort of lower body injury. As one of the eight forwards under contract 169 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,919 for next year, you have to think he will be back for some more 170 00:11:52,919 --> 00:11:56,240 scoring in a big role. Obviously. Yeah, what do you make of 171 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:01,120 this guy? And what do you think he's gonna do? I think the 172 00:12:01,159 --> 00:12:05,600 other part that he's really he's a good leader. He's a good example for 173 00:12:05,799 --> 00:12:09,720 all the kids in the room. It was really good for last year for 174 00:12:09,759 --> 00:12:11,919 Willie Macklin and Faban Zeterlin to be around him so much. He's the kind 175 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,360 of guy that you want around your younger players to teach them sort of the 176 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,279 way like on the ice, off the ice, and that kind of focus. 177 00:12:22,919 --> 00:12:26,159 And he should slide back in as the Shark's top center. There's no 178 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,799 need to put that on Macklin unless Macklin takes a job for him, which 179 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,399 he might well do in his rookie season. But for now, though, 180 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,559 Mcialk slides in as your number one center, and he should be a good 181 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,639 bet if you can stay healthy for a good fifty points, sixty points and 182 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,600 just be like the veteran guy that you can count on for some production on 183 00:12:46,639 --> 00:12:52,080 this team. All right, that's exciting, and let's move on to William 184 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,639 Mackland, who is someone who I've been really excited about for a long time. 185 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,600 He played eighty games in the NHL this season, where previously he had 186 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:03,519 seven team over two seasons. Big jump in terms of role matchups. There 187 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,480 wasn't a whole lot to insulate him around from the rest of the league. 188 00:13:07,519 --> 00:13:11,480 His strong defensive metrics I think kerry extra weight when you see how bad everyone 189 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:16,679 else was around him. There wasn't much offense, as as much offense as 190 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,600 some of us fantasy types would have liked. Forty six point pace is kind 191 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,960 of just under the threshold of what's super exciting. He failed to get two 192 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,080 shots on net most of the time, though he had almost a block per 193 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:31,200 game, which was unexpectedly nice in terms of peripheral production. So, shang, 194 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,879 are, what are we to expect from Ecklan next season? In long 195 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,039 term? Can he be a seventy plus point pace guy? I don't know. 196 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:43,360 I see him more as topping out as a second line on a good 197 00:13:43,399 --> 00:13:46,960 team, but a second line that plays like you mentioned. Even even though 198 00:13:48,039 --> 00:13:50,639 I think he has a lot to learn defensively, he tries. He wants 199 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,480 to be good defensively. That's where I think the blocks come from. Right 200 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,519 Obviously, do the Sharks give up a lot of shot gemps too, so 201 00:13:56,639 --> 00:14:01,559 you're going to block a shot as a Shark just standing around happenstance in his 202 00:14:01,639 --> 00:14:05,600 zone. But anyway though, he cares though, and I can see him 203 00:14:05,639 --> 00:14:11,919 touching seventy points, but that's not where I would expect him on a year 204 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,840 to year basis. But I think if he settles in more into the sixty 205 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,480 rate, but he is again a very solid two ways you can use him 206 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,159 on a penalty kill. He's going to be a very valuable player on a 207 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,120 good team. He should be a very valuable piece of the next Sharks playoff 208 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,279 team, at least he would hope. So his game profiles as such. 209 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:37,799 So I'm a big fan of his. I seventy is the high for me 210 00:14:37,039 --> 00:14:41,720 that I think, but maybe he'll prove us wrong. And I do give 211 00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:45,039 him a lot of credit. Last year it was really hard for a young 212 00:14:45,039 --> 00:14:48,879 player to development, and he did a good job of keeping his head above 213 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,000 water. And not getting to discourage when he was getting all those dashes. 214 00:14:52,039 --> 00:14:54,440 I think he leads the league, led the league with the minus forty five 215 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,799 or something like that, and so I think he did a good job of 216 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:03,519 that. And so he's a guy who really deserves just like Grandlin, he 217 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,360 deserves more help around him, and I think that help should be coming, 218 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,080 not just Celebrainy and potentially Will Smith, but also too. I think the 219 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:16,759 Sharks know that they can't put out a product as bad as last year, 220 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,159 as embarrassingly bad as last year. So I think they're going to try to 221 00:15:20,519 --> 00:15:26,720 amend that be a free agency or trade this offseason. Baby in Zeterland, 222 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:31,799 the another one of these young guys. Forty four points in eighty two games, 223 00:15:31,919 --> 00:15:35,519 was the third most points on the team. Twenty four goals from Zinderland 224 00:15:35,679 --> 00:15:39,679 led the team fifty percent more than Ecklund in second place. He was the 225 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:45,639 only Shark skater who played all eighty two games, and he had very good 226 00:15:45,639 --> 00:15:48,679 bash two and a half shots, a hit and a half almost a block 227 00:15:48,759 --> 00:15:52,039 a game. When the Sharks were playing out the string at the end of 228 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,480 the year, he scored in eight of the final ten games of the year, 229 00:15:54,639 --> 00:16:00,200 nine points over that span. So I guess the question is in a 230 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,200 situation like the Sharks where it was a rough time finding the elite talent for 231 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:10,720 the top top lines, was he filling a vacuum up there or was this 232 00:16:10,799 --> 00:16:14,039 a breakout from Zeeland? Is he going to be a significant player for this 233 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,159 team going forward. I guess we'll see. I think it's fair to wonder 234 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:23,679 if this is just a product of a decent player getting great playing time, 235 00:16:23,799 --> 00:16:30,519 like a first line playing time. I yeah, so I'm not sure, 236 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,519 but I give Fabian a lot of credit. Obviously, when the Sharks traded 237 00:16:33,519 --> 00:16:38,039 for him last year, coming from the New Jersey for Timo Meyer, Fabian 238 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,039 had zero goals in twenty two games. He looked like he at times that 239 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:48,039 he really just didn't just at least with the Sharks. I know he looked 240 00:16:48,039 --> 00:16:49,159 better with the Devils before, but at least for the Sharks, he didn't 241 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,679 look like at all times I he belonging necessarily in the NHL, and he 242 00:16:52,799 --> 00:16:56,679 worked his way this past season from starting on the fourth line, had a 243 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,679 very good training camp, but still there are guys that they wanted to play 244 00:17:00,679 --> 00:17:04,359 ahead of him in terms of just name guys like your Hoffman's your La Banks. 245 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,240 Your La Banks was scratched the SERD season. But the guys that just 246 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,880 you want to get those guys going, because those guys are what's going to 247 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,519 bring you something out a trade deadline, Bara bon Off, Guys like that, 248 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:17,640 right, Zadina, And so they had a lot of guys ahead of 249 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,440 him, and he worked his way from the fourth line to basically the first 250 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,160 line, and he earned it too. Granted the competition wasn't stiff, but 251 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,599 he was better than all the other wingers that I mentioned, and very basically 252 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,200 he was the Shark's best winger last year, so he deserved the playing time 253 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,480 he got on this bad team. As a team gets deeper, I'm not 254 00:17:37,559 --> 00:17:42,799 sure if this twenty four goal season is a preview of greater things to come, 255 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:47,400 like he's going to become a thirty gold man on a really good team. 256 00:17:47,759 --> 00:17:52,039 But he has continually proven people wrong. And actually I liked him last 257 00:17:52,079 --> 00:17:55,279 year even when he was slumping. I thought that he was going to be 258 00:17:55,319 --> 00:17:57,920 a player, but I thought that more like a third line type of fifteen 259 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:03,119 goal type, and he blee past those expectations too, And so I guess 260 00:18:03,279 --> 00:18:07,079 say, I think the jury is out on him. But if you're thinking 261 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,440 about him for fantasy purposes, just this year at least, he should still 262 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,920 be the Shark's top winger. Only only competition right now is gonna be williem 263 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,119 Mecklin. Willi Mecklin getting better than he was last year and taking that role 264 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,279 of go to winger. And of course the Sharks could sign somebody, but 265 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,119 I'm not sure if they're in the market to a lot of term or trade 266 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,359 a lot of assets for kind of your top of line wingers available on the 267 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,400 market, like your Eelers or your Steven Stampo. There's no reason whe Stanpgle 268 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,200 was the com in San Jose and so guys like that and the guys like 269 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,480 that would probably be beyond San Jose's reach. So there's a good chance that 270 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,000 Fabian is still the top winger on the Sharks, and he's gonna get that 271 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,480 playing time. He's gonna get a chance to play with guys like Randlin, 272 00:18:47,559 --> 00:18:52,880 maybe a Celebrini guys that can help set him up. Blim Constin is next 273 00:18:52,039 --> 00:18:56,359 up fourteen points in fifty two games. This guy came up with a very 274 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:02,480 talented Saint Louis Blues prospect system. When the same time span roughly as Tage 275 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:07,039 Thompson, Robert Thomas and Jordan Cairrou But clearly the trajectory for mister Coston is 276 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,960 not in the same ballpark. I've been watching the guy. He made his 277 00:19:11,039 --> 00:19:17,119 midseason move from the Wings to the Sharks, and the overall stats don't capture 278 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,599 I said, fourteen points, but in the nineteen games until he did put 279 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,559 up ten points, jumping from nine to fifteen minutes a night, rows more 280 00:19:23,599 --> 00:19:27,200 than two hits a game, but less than a shot per game. He's 281 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:32,240 a big guy. We'll give him that, no matter what is costin going 282 00:19:32,319 --> 00:19:36,559 to maintain a substantial role with next year's team, and if so, what 283 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,319 could we expect from him? I think he's going to be given a chance, 284 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,759 obviously, Becaure's only so many players that the Sharks can add via free 285 00:19:42,759 --> 00:19:48,960 agency and trade that are clearly better than your Clym Costin's or your Faban Zetterlinds 286 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,359 pushing down guys like that in the lineup. So I think Lim is going 287 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,359 to get a chance. But as we've seen throughout his career, though, 288 00:19:55,400 --> 00:20:00,759 it's very inconsistent, and so we'll see if he seizes that chance and runs 289 00:20:00,799 --> 00:20:04,559 with it. Last year, David Quinn said that Costin was a guy that 290 00:20:04,759 --> 00:20:10,000 needed to lose lose a few pounds and not that he was out of shape 291 00:20:10,039 --> 00:20:12,920 or anything like that, but he wasn't maximizing his body to be the best 292 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:18,400 possible Angel player that he could be. That was basically what I think Quinn 293 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,400 was saying. And even though Quinn isn't there anymore, I think the same 294 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,240 thing still applies to Coston. Is he going to this summer? Is he 295 00:20:25,319 --> 00:20:29,519 going to shed a little bit there and be in the best shape but ever 296 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:34,079 and show that he's dedicated to staying in the NHL because he doesn't have a 297 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,960 lot of chances left in the NHL twenty seventeen first round pick, so he's 298 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,920 running out of time here. But there are good tools there. He obviously 299 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,759 is big. I think that he can still skate better, like I said, 300 00:20:47,839 --> 00:20:52,839 if he gets in slightly better condition. But he can skate, He 301 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,759 has skill, he doesn't look out of place on the second power play unit, 302 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,799 and so there's definitely chances opportunity. That's the one thing about the Sharks 303 00:21:00,799 --> 00:21:03,039 for sure. So if you've got a moticum of talent, a moticum of 304 00:21:03,559 --> 00:21:07,839 possibly above average above fourth line talent, and Costin does have above fourth line 305 00:21:07,839 --> 00:21:12,160 talent, there's no question about that. But can he sees it. And 306 00:21:12,799 --> 00:21:17,319 he has in spots in his career like that one year in Edmonton when he 307 00:21:17,319 --> 00:21:21,079 had sort of his breakout before he signed in Detroit, and he did do 308 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:25,799 well when the Sharks first picked him up, and he was placed with Granlin. 309 00:21:26,079 --> 00:21:27,200 Once he got away from Grantlan at the end of the season, he 310 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,880 wasn't quite as productive, and so that's something to look at. But he's 311 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,559 gonna get a chance though, And so he's a good guy that if he 312 00:21:33,599 --> 00:21:37,920 does hit, if he does pan out for you, he's probably a guy 313 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,039 that you can in fantasy. He can pick him up late and he's going 314 00:21:41,079 --> 00:21:45,000 to supply a lot of different things and goal scorings and physicality, some penalty 315 00:21:45,039 --> 00:21:49,079 minutes, all that kind of stuff, and so he is definitely a decent 316 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,160 bet in that sense. Then he's going to have, like I said, 317 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,599 a ton of opportunity. It's just going to be a question of whether or 318 00:21:56,599 --> 00:22:00,519 not he seeses it. Yeah, and the next guy we're in talk about, 319 00:22:00,559 --> 00:22:03,319 Thomas Bortlow, I'm sure fits into that opportunity category. Yeah, he 320 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:08,079 had twenty five points and thirty five AHL games for a very not good, 321 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,839 not playoff team at Barracuda Here in San Jose, he got into twenty seven 322 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:18,079 NHL games, registered eleven points for a thirty three point pace sharing. I 323 00:22:18,079 --> 00:22:21,519 think we're all wondering, do you think Bordilow is going to be a full 324 00:22:21,559 --> 00:22:25,039 time NHL or next season and what is the outlook for him in the short 325 00:22:25,079 --> 00:22:29,200 and long term. I think that this training camp this summer obviously is going 326 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:30,759 to be huge for him. I will give him a lot of credit. 327 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:37,920 I thought that his Shark's career was going very wayward as of the beginning of 328 00:22:37,039 --> 00:22:41,359 last year when they tried him at center and he just looked so overmatched, 329 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,319 and he was still making really poor puck management decisions, which I think has 330 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,640 been a hallmark of his Angel career up to that point. When they called 331 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,519 him back up from the Barracuda around March or so, he looked like a 332 00:22:53,519 --> 00:22:56,720 different Thomas Bortolo, and it's had to say he doesn't have stuff to work 333 00:22:56,759 --> 00:23:00,359 on. But he was playing wing. He was looking much better at wing 334 00:23:00,519 --> 00:23:03,680 than he did the previous year when he played wing at the end of the 335 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:08,200 season. He was just quicker on pucks, he was stronger on pucks. 336 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,480 He was playing it. Look he was just playing faster. He wasn't they 337 00:23:12,559 --> 00:23:17,599 looked. Doesn't seem like he was thinking as much. And but also he 338 00:23:17,599 --> 00:23:21,920 seems to know that he is a little bit stronger than a guy than your 339 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:26,480 average small guy. Yes, Bortilo is five ten if but Bortilo is a 340 00:23:26,519 --> 00:23:30,680 little bit stronger, I think, than your average guy of that size. 341 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,440 And so he started using that a little more. He started inviting contact, 342 00:23:33,519 --> 00:23:36,920 letting that contact bounce off of him, and then making plays off of that 343 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,160 instead of just overreacting before the contact gets to him and getting rid of the 344 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:41,960 puck and making a bad decision that way, which is what he had been 345 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:48,960 doing at the AHL level in his previous cups of coffee. So I would 346 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,799 say that there's hope for him again in the Shark system. Whereas, again, 347 00:23:52,839 --> 00:23:56,160 if he had asked me this question about mid season last year, I 348 00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:02,559 was that this guy is trade fodder. But we'll see though. He's still 349 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:07,480 not quite refined, obviously, and so we'll see if his game has taken 350 00:24:07,759 --> 00:24:11,519 even a little bit of a step this training camp. I think it's important 351 00:24:11,599 --> 00:24:18,160 that basically he doesn't. I think it's important for him to know that he's 352 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,480 not done yet, that he's got to be continue to get better goal a 353 00:24:21,559 --> 00:24:25,359 on the same path. He was on the right path when he was sent 354 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,920 down. I'm sorry when the Sharks called him back up last year. At 355 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,960 the end of last season, he was on the right path. He needs 356 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,480 to continue that and go upward. If he stays plateaus right where he's at, 357 00:24:34,039 --> 00:24:37,039 barely NHL are on a good team, to be honest. But if 358 00:24:37,039 --> 00:24:41,000 he can continue on the path, he does have a lot of skill, 359 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,119 and I think that of like the Sharks. The Sharks have a lot of 360 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:49,799 prospects from that they drafted in twenty twenty around that range, right, smallish 361 00:24:49,799 --> 00:24:56,119 guys. You'll probably ask me about Gushen Robbins, right. I think that 362 00:24:56,319 --> 00:25:00,440 Borillo might have the highest stealing I think he does, actually, but his 363 00:25:00,599 --> 00:25:03,640 sort of night and I compete and all that kind of thing. That's what's 364 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,000 part of what's kept him out of ANHL lineup. And so that's got to 365 00:25:07,079 --> 00:25:11,039 show that it's at a NHL level and better. And if he does that, 366 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:15,640 then he's going to have a chance yeah, I think I remember last 367 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,720 season you mentioning that about Bordelow and being a little bit questionable, So it's 368 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,240 good to see his improvement. I did get to catch him a couple of 369 00:25:22,319 --> 00:25:25,240 times in the HL, and I did see what exactly what you said, 370 00:25:25,279 --> 00:25:27,359 like being a little bit stronger on pucks, not getting pushed around as much, 371 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:32,119 making quicker decisions. All those things are really important. So we'll see, 372 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,319 hopefully as trajectory continues to improve. The last question I have for you 373 00:25:36,599 --> 00:25:38,839 is do you think anyone else on this team can get a fifty point pace, 374 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,839 whether they're a guy that's currently signed or as you've alluded to, do 375 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:48,279 you think they bring in an offensively talented forward that can potentially do that? 376 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,880 Let me, I'll go to this roster. Yeah, that's a hard question 377 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,599 you're asking there. So with these guys, to be honest, I think 378 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,680 in terms of bringing somebody in, I think that they're not necessarily going to 379 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,039 bring in somebody that that's going to be a surefire fifty sixty points, Like 380 00:26:03,079 --> 00:26:08,240 I mentioned guys like Eelers or Sam Ryan Hard or somebody like that. But 381 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:14,119 I can see them bringing in somebody that has some scoring ability. That maybe 382 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:19,960 in a lower role, like I've suggested myself, Dakota Joshua or Stephan Nason 383 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,839 or somebody that was mentioned to me recently. These are guys that might be 384 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:29,640 good for the Sharks in terms of they might flourish in a higher role. 385 00:26:29,759 --> 00:26:33,680 They have shown some offensive ability, and they're not going to be very expensive, 386 00:26:33,799 --> 00:26:37,160 of course, and they're also the kind of guys that maybe you want 387 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:41,559 your kids around too, to grow And so those are guys that maybe in 388 00:26:41,559 --> 00:26:45,079 a bigger and a larger role. Right Stephanison, for example, has thirty 389 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,240 plus points in the last couple of years, playing about twelve minutes a night 390 00:26:48,279 --> 00:26:51,599 and some power play for the Hurricanes, And so is that a guy if 391 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,240 you give them a larger role, can you get approached fifty points? Maybe? 392 00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:00,240 Otherwise Eklund had forty five, so you think that he's gonna be right 393 00:27:00,279 --> 00:27:03,079 there. Zeeland forty four, so he could be right there. Oh yeah, 394 00:27:03,279 --> 00:27:07,039 maybe maybe that's it. Yeah, that's fair. There's some good twenty 395 00:27:07,039 --> 00:27:11,599 twenty five draft picks too, So yeah, exactly, it can help with 396 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,200 that. Okay, let's move over to the defense, and frankly, I'm 397 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,000 not sure how much it's worth even going through each player, because Maria Ferraro 398 00:27:18,039 --> 00:27:22,200 scored the most points on the blue line last year with twenty one points in 399 00:27:22,319 --> 00:27:26,079 seventy eight games, ty Eberson Jan Ruta had twenty seven point paces not playing 400 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,160 a full season. Now, both of these guys, all these guys can 401 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,960 contribute in peripheral coverage. But I think there's a big question mark here there. 402 00:27:34,279 --> 00:27:37,799 Kyle Kaitlan Addison was brought in to potentially run a power play. He 403 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,359 has really struggled in a lot of aspects of his game, I would say, 404 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:45,759 and there is no clear top power play guy. Who do you think 405 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,200 is going to run the power play for the Sharks next season? And can 406 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:53,240 anyone get over a thirty five point pace? Yeah, I don't know about 407 00:27:53,279 --> 00:27:57,440 that. I guess it's good that if you pick up a Shark's defenseman fantasy, 408 00:27:57,519 --> 00:28:00,720 he's gonna get you some blocks at least, right, I think the 409 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,240 Starks do better than to bleed shots and shot attempts. But anyway, though, 410 00:28:04,839 --> 00:28:08,880 I think that Mukumdoolin should be in the lineup next year, and he's 411 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,680 very talented. I don't want to put it on a rookie to be hey, 412 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,559 you got to take over the power play, but I think that he 413 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,599 tops out as a solid middle pairing guy that on a good team can maybe 414 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,400 run your power play too. I don't know if I see him as a 415 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,119 PP one guy, but he's a guy of a lot of he has a 416 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:27,960 lot of talent, and he's actually for a guy his size, you think 417 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,240 of guy six five that skate well, you think, oh, this is 418 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,839 a defensive guy. That's the cliche. But no, actually he's more comfortable 419 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:38,359 with the puck than without, I would say, and so he's pretty good. 420 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,240 He's pretty good offensively, and you show that with the Barrakuda last year, 421 00:28:41,279 --> 00:28:45,359 and I think I'll translate to the NHL. So he's a guy that's 422 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,680 a possibility. I do think that the Shark's greatest need on their rosters to 423 00:28:49,799 --> 00:28:55,039 add two way defenseman guys who can move the puk decently and also kill a 424 00:28:55,079 --> 00:29:00,400 player too. So I wonder if they might go for a decent middle class 425 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,759 free agent defenseman like a Sean Walker is a guy that I think will fit 426 00:29:04,839 --> 00:29:10,359 great with the Sharks. Someone mentioned Alexander Carrier to me, and so these 427 00:29:10,359 --> 00:29:12,680 are not guys sincerely that should be on your PP one, But like a 428 00:29:12,759 --> 00:29:17,039 Walker. If Walker's on your PP one, he's standing in at least he 429 00:29:17,039 --> 00:29:19,440 won't embarrass you out there, and maybe he will get to thirty five points 430 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,920 with a lot of opportunities. So a guy like that, if they sign 431 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,240 that guy, But they need to definitely push guys down the depth chart, 432 00:29:26,359 --> 00:29:29,279 push a Ferraro down to death chart, push a Thrun down to depth chart. 433 00:29:29,799 --> 00:29:33,960 And they can do that with assigning somebody or trading for somebody. That's 434 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,759 gonna be better for the team, better environment for a celebrating and a will 435 00:29:37,799 --> 00:29:41,440 Smith walking to next year, but also too, it's gonna be better for 436 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,319 a team in general because Ferraro is probably fral shouldn't be your number one defenseman. 437 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:49,759 That's no discredit to to Mario. I think has done an underappreciated job 438 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,839 considering how much has been put on his plate over the last few years. 439 00:29:55,039 --> 00:29:56,559 But you can push him down the lineup a little bit and have guys that 440 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:02,160 are not true number one defenseman but would still slot ahead of say a Ferraro 441 00:30:02,279 --> 00:30:04,000 and a Thrun. It just makes your team better in general. And whatever 442 00:30:04,119 --> 00:30:07,680 they pick up for that area, if they do pick up anybody that like 443 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,799 a Walker or something like that then that's the guy that is going to should 444 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:17,640 get his chances on a power play too, and should get himself in that 445 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,839 thirty point range if he stays healthy. Yeah, for sure. When Ferrara 446 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,200 was a number four defenseman, things were good for the Sharks. I know 447 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,319 they're good. The Sharks have made a playoffs and that's not a Mario, 448 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:32,799 but the Sharks have made a playoffs and Ferarral's entire career. But things were. 449 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,240 Things weren't as embarrassing as last year. Well in nineteen twenty when he 450 00:30:37,359 --> 00:30:41,160 was more of the depth, they were still decent. But yeah, okay, 451 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,039 you're right. I think overall, check back training camp time to see 452 00:30:45,039 --> 00:30:48,400 who's getting the opportunity because we don't really know right now. Well, let's 453 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,759 talk about the goalies. The Sharks were dead last and expected goals against per 454 00:30:52,839 --> 00:30:56,720 sixty three point two three and conceded the worst number of actual calls per game, 455 00:30:56,799 --> 00:31:00,680 so way to be consistent there, dead last in both categories. They 456 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,519 were nearly half a goal game a game worse than the Blackhawks, so overall, 457 00:31:04,599 --> 00:31:07,680 it was not pretty in the net for the Sharks. They used a 458 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:14,799 few different goalies. Mackenzie Blackwood Capo Kakanen were the main ones, and Kakanen 459 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,240 obviously gone now. Devin Cooley, Magnus Crona, Georgie Romani were also goalies 460 00:31:18,279 --> 00:31:22,599 that were used. Blackwood had his moments. I would say at times he 461 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,160 was incredible. I think sometimes he would get blown up, but that was 462 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,079 also certainly related to the team in front of him, not just him. 463 00:31:29,519 --> 00:31:33,000 After the trade deadline, we saw a smattering of Kouli, Crona, and 464 00:31:33,079 --> 00:31:36,759 Romani Romanov. I saw Romanov a couple of times in the HL and I 465 00:31:36,839 --> 00:31:38,359 was super impressed with what I saw. I know, I've talked to cold 466 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,240 people who seem to think the Sharks are pretty high on him. Although he's 467 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:45,559 still a bit raw and need some refinement. It sure seems like the Sharks 468 00:31:45,559 --> 00:31:49,720 are going to go with a Blackwood Vanchik tandem for next season based on who's 469 00:31:49,799 --> 00:31:52,319 under contract. Is that how you see it, Chang is those two are 470 00:31:52,319 --> 00:31:55,640 going to get the most to play. And do you think that the Sharks 471 00:31:55,799 --> 00:31:59,240 want to hold onto Blackwood as potentially once they're good again, which could be 472 00:31:59,279 --> 00:32:01,400 a while from now, do you think that Blackwood is their goalie? He 473 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:06,799 could be I think that they have two candidates that are about the same age, 474 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,319 Vanichek and Blackwood. I think of both twenty seven twenty eight, and 475 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,400 so I think that one of those guys could emerge or they could have a 476 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:19,519 tandem of the future there and anyway, I think both guys are decent bets. 477 00:32:19,559 --> 00:32:23,279 Blackwood, if you look at his goals say or expected goals against, 478 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:29,680 was actually quite good last year compared to the qualities he was facing great a's 479 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:34,119 just from everywhere, and so he ended up actually, I believe, in 480 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,599 the top twenty five of goalies in a category. So on the more positive 481 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:43,079 side of that Ledger for sure. And Vanachek's guy who had an awful year 482 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,160 last year, but before that, he had a pretty good track record in 483 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:51,279 the three years before that he was I believe in that same stat he was 484 00:32:51,319 --> 00:32:54,759 a top twenty goalie and he's a guy that if you can get back to 485 00:32:54,799 --> 00:32:59,240 what he was, his ceiling is probably higher than say a Cacadant who they 486 00:32:59,279 --> 00:33:04,160 traded last year. Traded catnan Ford Vancheck last year, and so I think 487 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,960 there's a little bit of hope there, at least immediately. In terms of 488 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,240 the long term, it's a will see thing. I think both Blackwood and 489 00:33:09,359 --> 00:33:14,279 Vanicheck have shown in stretches that they can be the guy, they can be 490 00:33:14,319 --> 00:33:16,960 your number one, right. But they both had great stretches in New Jersey. 491 00:33:17,039 --> 00:33:21,960 Van Check also in Washington, and they've had great seasons too, or 492 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,759 at least good seasons, both of them, And so I could see that 493 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:30,599 happening where they are the Sharks goally, say five years from now, when 494 00:33:30,599 --> 00:33:36,799 the Sharks hopefully are back in it. Sharks don't have any clear top prospect 495 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,039 down in the system. Romanov, like you mentioned, did have very good 496 00:33:39,119 --> 00:33:43,880 end of the season, especially, but they don't have anybody that, Okay, 497 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,759 this guy is the Sharks goalie of the future. Some teams have their 498 00:33:45,839 --> 00:33:49,200 guy like that, right. The Sharks don't have anyone close to that, 499 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,240 And so I think next year is going to be another year for them to 500 00:33:52,279 --> 00:33:58,680 see what they've got in romano Off and Prona and let the veterans be that 501 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,319 bridge guy. And that bridge guy is still young enough that he can be 502 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:06,200 your guy for a long time maybe, And I will also buy the Sharks 503 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,280 time because Sharks need a draft a goalie. They don't have anybody of that 504 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:14,239 age in their system that's a credible prospect at this point. They didn't draft 505 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,880 a goalie last year, and so I would think that's going to be of 506 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:22,559 their on the top of their twenty twenty four draft to do list. Yeah, 507 00:34:22,639 --> 00:34:24,760 and actually the last goalie they drafted it didn't quite work out. They 508 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:29,239 ended up releasing him, right, that was how I'm liking on his name. 509 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,119 Look bullpit, but they still a bullpit all the drow Ben Goodrow, 510 00:34:32,159 --> 00:34:37,239 Yeah, Ben Goodrill, Yeah. Yeah, he was just okay with Insarnia, 511 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,840 right, he didn't he couldn't quite take that next step from being a 512 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:46,039 good junior goalie to a good pro prospect. And yeah, they definitely have. 513 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:52,239 I mentioned Bopit too, who's still in the Shark system, but he's 514 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:57,280 really stumbled the last few years. And the Sharks are you look at their 515 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,760 their goaltending, their prospect, that that sort of thing. It's pretty dire 516 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,880 now. And of course a guy like Romana Ron a good surprise. But 517 00:35:05,039 --> 00:35:07,119 I wouldn't count on those guys quite yet. They're not quite there yet, 518 00:35:07,159 --> 00:35:13,480 and so they definitely need to replenish the system with a couple of project guys. 519 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,800 All right, Shang, this has been some great information on the San 520 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:22,320 Jose Sharks once again let people know how they should get out there and follow 521 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,280 all your work. Thanks. You can just find me at San Jose Hockey 522 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:30,039 Now. You can also find me at NBC Sports Bay Area or NBC Sharks, 523 00:35:30,079 --> 00:35:34,800 and you can find me on Twitter at Shang Underscore. Pang tremendous. 524 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:44,719 Thanks so much for talking Sharks with us again. Yeah, anytime, guys, 525 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:50,599 Wilson, that's get fired pas. Oh my goodness, with a cat 526 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:59,880 wet crap. Now it's your weekly goalie talk. But Kat Silverman Kat's Instincts 527 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:06,679 joined once again by Kat Silverman and NGL mag Talking Shark's goalies. We've got 528 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:08,760 a few interesting ones to get too here, so we'll start with the first 529 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:14,719 one. Magnus crona twenty eighteen fifth round pick by Tampa six foot six, 530 00:36:15,039 --> 00:36:16,679 two hundred and sixteen pounds, now twenty three years old. This was his 531 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:21,679 first professional season after three stellar seasons at the University of Denver, where he 532 00:36:21,679 --> 00:36:25,079 won a national title. I'd say his pro transition was a little rough. 533 00:36:25,679 --> 00:36:30,719 He had two ECHL, nine NHL and thirty one AHL games. His numbers 534 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:34,920 and all but the ECHL were not good, but some of the other numbers 535 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,239 were okay, and it was fun to see him in the NHL. If 536 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:42,679 you look at his ramprom chart at Hockey at Evolving Hockey, it's deeply in 537 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,960 the orange, as in not good. But that's just in the limited experience 538 00:36:46,039 --> 00:36:52,000 with the Sharks, who are not good. The hockey prospecting has him hovering 539 00:36:52,039 --> 00:36:55,920 around high twenties, low thirty percent chance of being an NHL are and one 540 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,840 of his comps looks like camp Talbot, which might be reasonable. I don't 541 00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:00,880 know. We have to find out from the experts. So Kat, what's 542 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:06,039 your instinct tell us about Crona. It was really hard to gauge him last 543 00:37:06,079 --> 00:37:08,559 year because he especially the Sharks, they're such a bad team right now, 544 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:15,559 and he essentially went pro and then he played in all three Leaks and really 545 00:37:15,599 --> 00:37:19,800 didn't get a whole lot of time to just work on consistent reps, which 546 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,199 unfortunately is the case for every goaltender in the Shark system. This year, 547 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:28,239 we saw a couple of the other guys that were in their prospect pool who 548 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,440 I would argue should have been parked very permanently and fully in the AHL and 549 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:37,119 ECHL last year get some NHL game and not just one game, but like 550 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:43,400 between five and ten games for each of them, and that's really hard for 551 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,599 a guy who's just getting his pro game feed under him. It looked like 552 00:37:46,639 --> 00:37:54,239 that was really Corona's biggest issue is he just looked like the timing and the 553 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:59,199 speed, because he tracks pretty well and his movements I would say for his 554 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:04,280 size is pretty decent, and there were just some reaction timing things where it 555 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,400 looked like he wasn't prepared. For example, in the NCAA, sometimes you'll 556 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:12,039 see a guy who's really good at handling the puck take a really good shot. 557 00:38:12,079 --> 00:38:15,320 A goaltender knows that he can safely deflect that pock back out into play, 558 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:22,119 and the likelihood that someone else on his team is as adept at scooping 559 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,920 up that rebound, maneuvering the puck past the entire defense and doing the same 560 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:31,000 thing is a little lower, whereas in the HL and the NHL, the 561 00:38:31,119 --> 00:38:35,639 likelihood that there's going to be someone else who's just as good at retrieving that 562 00:38:35,679 --> 00:38:43,079 puck and taking that second shot the third shot is demonstrably higher. So it 563 00:38:43,119 --> 00:38:45,400 looked like he was just ti getting his feet wet in terms of figuring out 564 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,960 how to manage that sort of tracking load, figuring out which guys he had 565 00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,239 to keep an eye on, and that will come with time. But it 566 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:57,920 didn't look like he was having trouble with tracking. The pucke itself didn't look 567 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:02,440 like his movement was super bad at It looked like he was thrown into the 568 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:07,519 deep end of a pool that was way too cold to be swimming in and 569 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,159 was just like, oh, here we go. So I think we'll probably 570 00:39:10,159 --> 00:39:14,000 see him do a little better next year. I think some of that will 571 00:39:14,039 --> 00:39:19,480 depend on if they give him a chance to not play any NHL games next 572 00:39:19,519 --> 00:39:22,880 year. But unfortunately for the Sharks, I don't know how likely that is, 573 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:28,440 just because the availability of gold tenders in the Shark system is it's not 574 00:39:28,519 --> 00:39:31,360 quite where it should be. So unfortunately, there's a chance that he's still 575 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,440 going to have that learning curve. Yep. If you have a lot of 576 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,719 prospect goalies, then you have no prospect goalies, and the Sharks have a 577 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:42,559 lot of them. Do you think that the Krona's upside is that of a 578 00:39:42,599 --> 00:39:47,239 starter or is he more of a one B at best. I think if 579 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:52,840 he's given a chance to fully develop at the AHL level, he could very 580 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:59,440 comfortably become a starter one day. I think if he's going to be introduced 581 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,480 to the NHL, be a trial by fire. Just moving forward, it's 582 00:40:02,559 --> 00:40:07,039 probably gonna end up ultimately being a tandem situation in terms of his upside, 583 00:40:08,199 --> 00:40:13,400 which doesn't necessarily mean that's how they'll play him. I think if he shows 584 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,880 any sort of consistent promise at the NHL level, he may end up getting 585 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:22,480 every game for the foreseeable future. But I do think that if he plays 586 00:40:22,519 --> 00:40:29,280 substantial NHL time next year, it's probably going to be upside of tandem for 587 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,440 him. Alrighty, that's probably the Sharks do the right thing here, but 588 00:40:32,559 --> 00:40:37,119 I also agree with you they might not, so we'll see. The next 589 00:40:37,119 --> 00:40:40,119 goalie we're going to talk about is Devin Cooley, undrafted six foot five, 590 00:40:40,199 --> 00:40:45,159 one hundred and ninety two pound from Los Gato's for those of you who don't 591 00:40:45,199 --> 00:40:49,760 know Los Gatos besides it meaning the Cats is one of the closest places you 592 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,599 could be to where the Sharks play, and so he was a junior Shark 593 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:58,760 and the first junior Shark to play goalie for the San Jose Sharks. That's 594 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:04,320 pretty fun. He bounced around a lot ushl Nahl ended up at Denver, 595 00:41:04,559 --> 00:41:07,880 also with Grona, and he bounced around a little bit more after that. 596 00:41:08,199 --> 00:41:15,239 Hl Echl then finally actually made his NHL debut. This season wasn't great as 597 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,800 you might expect playing in front of the Sharks. He's got some interesting comps. 598 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:21,679 Heies trended down a little bit. He was in the high forties early 599 00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,199 on and graduated the Hockey Prospecting Model at fourteen percent chance of being stars, 600 00:41:24,199 --> 00:41:28,480 so most of his comps are replacement level. But goat, I think he 601 00:41:28,559 --> 00:41:30,079 had one of the best goalies. One of the best quotes from the goalie 602 00:41:30,079 --> 00:41:36,480 I've ever heard in one of his really stellar performances. He said, I 603 00:41:36,559 --> 00:41:38,159 look up, I'm like, wow, a goal on forty shots or whatever. 604 00:41:38,199 --> 00:41:40,880 I'm like, I feel it's just nobody cares. Nothing's really going to 605 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:45,800 matter, We're all going to die. Just awesome stuff there. So anyways, 606 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,360 Coolly, I don't know what kind of upside he has, but he's 607 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:52,039 huge, and he didn't cost anything to the Sharks. They actually traded for 608 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,400 him. He was in the Buffalo system at the time. But what kind 609 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,719 of upside do you think he has? He already played six NHL games. 610 00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:02,159 None of them went great except for that one crazy forty eight shot that he's 611 00:42:02,159 --> 00:42:06,400 referring to where he got to win. So what do you think about Cooley. 612 00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,760 I think he's a lot of fun for starters. I really like seeing 613 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:15,239 a goaltender who plays in a system like the Sharks, which, in the 614 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:20,440 kindest way possible, is like their defensive system is a dumpster fire and their 615 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:24,719 goaltending depth chart is a dumpster fire. And seeing a guy who's able to 616 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:31,400 truly be a goldfish like that is that's what you need. That quote reminded 617 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:37,599 me of the way that Connor Ingram talks about goaltending, and that's the kind 618 00:42:37,599 --> 00:42:39,280 of player is able to bounce back from bad games. We've talked in the 619 00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:45,559 past about some of those prospect goaltenders who takes things a little too harshly. 620 00:42:45,599 --> 00:42:50,119 They play a bad game, and they go and they overanalyze every goal they 621 00:42:50,159 --> 00:42:54,320 allowed, and they overanalyze every missed pass and you know, every post that 622 00:42:54,679 --> 00:43:00,920 gets hit instead of them actually making the stop themselves. And Devin Cooley's like, 623 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:06,320 you know what, We're all gonna die. So hope I have fun. 624 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,360 And I think his actual techniques a little unrefined. He plays a little 625 00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:15,440 far out for my taste for a guy of his size, which makes me 626 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:20,360 super nervous. Like you said he was free for them, he doesn't really. 627 00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:25,320 It's not like he is going to be a bust for them, so 628 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:30,000 to speak. If he doesn't pan out, worst case, he's a minor 629 00:43:30,119 --> 00:43:34,719 leaguer they have in their system that they can call up when they need to. 630 00:43:35,199 --> 00:43:38,000 Not that any player's career isn't super valuable, but if they don't want 631 00:43:38,039 --> 00:43:44,119 to sacrifice Corona's development by having him play too many NHL games, you can 632 00:43:44,119 --> 00:43:47,199 have Coolly go up and play some of those games. Allow Corona to stay 633 00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:54,000 in one place, and that's super beneficial. But I do think that he 634 00:43:54,159 --> 00:43:58,800 is a project. If they want him to be in a true NHL or 635 00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,320 long term, I think he needs to calm down a little bit. But 636 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:05,199 I also don't know how much I want to see his technique change, because 637 00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:10,440 I think that would require some overthinking on his part, and I don't know 638 00:44:10,519 --> 00:44:17,599 at his age how much he can truly change his overall style and skill without 639 00:44:17,599 --> 00:44:22,039 taking out some of that. Just like I said, the mindless, the 640 00:44:22,079 --> 00:44:25,320 goldfish elements of it, which is part of His biggest strength is he can 641 00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:30,960 allow a really bad shot to slip by and the next play it's like nothing 642 00:44:31,039 --> 00:44:34,400 happened. It's like he's stepping out on the ice for the first time. 643 00:44:34,519 --> 00:44:37,159 So that's a good guy to have in their system. I don't know if 644 00:44:37,159 --> 00:44:42,719 that's a long term option for them, though, God's Oleomen says Devin Cooley 645 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:46,960 is the chum for Maxix Crona. That's what I heard. No. I 646 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:52,159 think it's really good. He's from the area. It's great story people. 647 00:44:52,159 --> 00:44:55,119 They love to talk that up, and it's cool to bring him to the 648 00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:59,360 Junior Sharks and could pray him around and have him talk to the kids. 649 00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,280 I think I was an organizational thing. It's really fun. I don't know 650 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:06,280 that's really a long term him being an important part of the future in terms 651 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,400 of being a starter or something, but maybe, like you said, the 652 00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:14,800 attitude and the goldfish ability is pretty awesome. Let's talk about the last one, 653 00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,800 who I think is actually my favorite and perhaps the most promising, Georgi 654 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:22,400 Romanov not signed, not drafted. Sensing a theme here like just don't draft 655 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:28,719 goalies and sign random ones when their mid twenties. Apparently that's the strike strategy. 656 00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,000 Right now, twenty four years old, is Romanov sixty five two hundred 657 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:35,239 and seven pounds are also going for these very large goalies. Spent time in 658 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:39,480 the VHL for two seasons before coming to North America. He had seven ECCHL, 659 00:45:39,519 --> 00:45:43,480 two NHL twenty nine AHL games. As you said, a lot of 660 00:45:43,519 --> 00:45:45,239 bouncing around for all these guys. I got to watch one of his games 661 00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:49,599 and I was super impressed with his reads and movement. He's very controlled yet 662 00:45:49,599 --> 00:45:53,159 powerful, tracked the game really well, and of course he's huge that helps. 663 00:45:53,519 --> 00:45:58,360 But he really tilted the game that I saw for the Barrakuda, who 664 00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:00,199 were really not good that night and still lost, but would have lost by 665 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:05,559 a lot more if Romanov hadn't been so good looking. At his hockey prospecting, 666 00:46:05,639 --> 00:46:08,000 he was up to sixty three percent when he was playing in Russia. 667 00:46:08,119 --> 00:46:12,079 Being an NHL or is trended down a little bit, but still at about 668 00:46:12,119 --> 00:46:15,840 twenty eight percent. He has a comp of a many Fernandez type. What 669 00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:19,039 do you think of Romanov? I've heard some people in the organization say they 670 00:46:19,679 --> 00:46:22,639 like him quite a lot too, but he's a bit unrefined or needs us 671 00:46:22,679 --> 00:46:24,440 a little bit more seasoning. What are your thoughts on him, Kat, 672 00:46:25,119 --> 00:46:30,360 He's another one that makes me nervous to watch, which kind of seems to 673 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,440 be the Sharks strategy right now is picking these guys who have a lot of 674 00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,639 raw physical talent and for his size, he's got a ton of speed, 675 00:46:38,679 --> 00:46:43,039 a ton of power. I saw him make some really quick saves, some 676 00:46:43,079 --> 00:46:45,960 really quick recoveries. I saw him make a few too many recoveries, and 677 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:51,480 some of the highlights I was watching of him, which some of his tracking 678 00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,719 in close got a little questionable, like he lost sight of the pocket a 679 00:46:57,039 --> 00:47:02,440 few too many times when there was traffic around him, but his recovery was 680 00:47:02,519 --> 00:47:06,960 really quick, which is nice. That's someone who needs some coaching, which 681 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,880 I guess the Sharks have decided that's their strategy for right now is these guys 682 00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:16,840 who need a lot of technical coaching but have the physical talent. We'll see 683 00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:21,840 how that works for them. I do that if they don't have any surefire 684 00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,679 options in their system. You know, they don't have a Jasper Wolstad, 685 00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:30,239 they don't have a a Arslvaskarov, they don't have an to look at some 686 00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:34,440 of the older ones, ebercious striking. They missed out on that round of 687 00:47:34,559 --> 00:47:37,599 prospect goaltenders and decided that they really didn't want to draft any of those top 688 00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:42,000 names like that. If they're not going to, if they didn't have any 689 00:47:42,039 --> 00:47:45,639 of those, and they don't have a ton of at present assets to be 690 00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:51,280 trading, they might as well take some of these undrafted guys who essentially they 691 00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:53,440 get for free. They didn't have to spend a draft pick on them, 692 00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:58,280 they don't have to send in nhller away, and they can see what happens 693 00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:01,599 because worst case, these guys at them through their darkest years, and then, 694 00:48:02,079 --> 00:48:07,000 like you said, they're kyda chump for someone like Magnus Corona, who 695 00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,280 does need to work on some of the recovery timing, but has a lot 696 00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:15,440 more control to his raw game than the other two. And then just as 697 00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:20,639 they gain more assets that they can either trade for more NHL riddy goaltenders or 698 00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,880 draft in the top couple rounds in the next two or three years here they 699 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:28,159 can do something like that and just get themselves through it. I do think 700 00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,800 that if they do too much of this, just grabbing these undrafted guys who 701 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:37,119 need a lot of work but seem like maybe they could pan out, they 702 00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:42,719 run the risk of becoming a Philadelphia where they have fourteen goaltenders in their system 703 00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:46,599 and none of them are a clear future vesno winning NHL starter. That's not 704 00:48:46,599 --> 00:48:50,840 what they want to do, I think, But we'll see. I think 705 00:48:52,639 --> 00:49:00,559 romano Of is robably their second best. Ideally we see him Krona get a 706 00:49:00,599 --> 00:49:07,280 little more sheltered then Coolly, but we'll see how it goes with him. 707 00:49:07,559 --> 00:49:10,239 He looked he made me a little nervous on some of his saves, But 708 00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,880 I think that's probably going to be something that we say about any goaltender in 709 00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:21,199 the Sharks system for anywhere between the next two and five years. Here. 710 00:49:22,039 --> 00:49:27,039 I find it interesting that the goaltender coach for a long time, scout goaltender 711 00:49:27,079 --> 00:49:30,800 coach, development coach, assistant coach, and now director of goaltending has been 712 00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:35,159 getting to back off for a very long time. And he is He's obviously 713 00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,920 was a great Sharks player and had really great success. But he's fairly small. 714 00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:43,119 I don't know if people remember, but he's six foot like maybe and 715 00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:50,000 at most yeah, maybe this is him like looking. I don't know how 716 00:49:50,079 --> 00:49:52,719 much influence he has in the decision making, but they have been going after 717 00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:54,599 these large goaltenders for a long time, which is the opposite of him and 718 00:49:54,800 --> 00:50:00,480 urbe one of the other great goalies in the Sharks history. Wring if this 719 00:50:00,519 --> 00:50:02,519 is like some envy of what they what he didn't have, or what they're 720 00:50:02,519 --> 00:50:06,000 seeing trends towards. I don't know if you have any thoughts on that, 721 00:50:06,039 --> 00:50:08,039 but they definitely seem to be having a type of just going after these very 722 00:50:08,079 --> 00:50:14,440 large goalies that I don't think are very technically sound, and maybe that, 723 00:50:14,599 --> 00:50:16,679 like you said, they're just that's their type is let's get them. They 724 00:50:16,679 --> 00:50:21,199 have the physical abilities, and let's train them to have the other skills that 725 00:50:21,199 --> 00:50:25,159 they're lacking. It's interesting because they in the past have done a lot of 726 00:50:25,199 --> 00:50:31,320 work with goaltending conditioning coach Adam Francilia, who has worked with Martin Jones, 727 00:50:32,639 --> 00:50:37,599 which that one Martin Jones exists and he's still in the NHL at times, 728 00:50:37,599 --> 00:50:43,320 so obviously something worked there. Maybe, but he also worked with Lauren Bresois. 729 00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:46,760 He's worked with Philip Grubauer, he worked with I believe he's done a 730 00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:54,840 little bit of work with Matt Murray. So guys who are naturally physically very 731 00:50:54,880 --> 00:51:06,159 talented but have biomechanical like physical statures that lend themselves to being a little bit 732 00:51:06,199 --> 00:51:10,599 inefficient with the way that they play. And Francily's big thing was taking these 733 00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:19,519 very instinctively talented, huge bodies that, like Lauren Bresois, was all limbs, 734 00:51:19,599 --> 00:51:22,840 and so he was very uncontrolled with a lot of his excess movements with 735 00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:25,119 his hands, with his glove, with his lower body essentially the way that 736 00:51:25,159 --> 00:51:30,639 his legs moved for kicksaves, and was able to rein that in by working 737 00:51:30,679 --> 00:51:37,800 on how his musculature can best be used to essentially get him through his career. 738 00:51:37,639 --> 00:51:42,679 And so that might be what the Sharks are continuing to do because I 739 00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:47,440 know that getting to Bakov and Francilla are friends and they've worked very closely together 740 00:51:47,519 --> 00:51:54,159 with some of those guys, and so he might be looking not necessarily at 741 00:51:54,159 --> 00:51:58,559 the size, but at these guys who have a lot of raw talent, 742 00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,440 and it looks messy and inefficient the way that they're playing right now, because 743 00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:08,440 he knows that from just evidential success, that there are guys out there who 744 00:52:08,519 --> 00:52:15,480 can take these bodies that could be more fine tuned to use that natural talent 745 00:52:15,519 --> 00:52:19,320 in a more efficient way and can make it work a little better for them, 746 00:52:19,519 --> 00:52:25,000 And so typically you don't see guys who are five eleven six feet six 747 00:52:25,039 --> 00:52:32,559 foot one play with that kind of unrefined, uncontrolled style because if they are 748 00:52:32,679 --> 00:52:37,800 that row and chaotic, chances are they're allowing a lot of pucks through because 749 00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:42,239 they can't afford it quite as much. So you tend to see those guys 750 00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:47,599 who are a little bit more just naturally talented but undisciplined in that larger size 751 00:52:47,639 --> 00:52:51,199 category. So that might be where they're getting all these bigger guys from, 752 00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:54,480 is those are the ones who tend to be the project, whereas those unrefined 753 00:52:54,559 --> 00:52:59,000 guys who are on the smaller side tend not even to make it to the 754 00:52:59,079 --> 00:53:02,519 NCAA or two the minor leagues, So and that might be what's happening there. 755 00:53:02,639 --> 00:53:06,079 Those guys do tend to be the most injury prone, though, so 756 00:53:06,079 --> 00:53:08,679 I'm curious to see how that strategy works out for them long term, because 757 00:53:08,679 --> 00:53:13,079 they have had these guys, they've had most of their success with these smaller 758 00:53:13,119 --> 00:53:15,119 guys, not just Nabokov, but Alex stay Lock was a lot of fun 759 00:53:15,159 --> 00:53:21,320 for them and Aaron Dellan. Those aren't huge guys. Those are some of 760 00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:23,840 the last of the small goaltenders, so we'll see how that goes for them. 761 00:53:24,039 --> 00:53:28,239 It's definitely fun to watch, though, if anybody's really interested in watching 762 00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:32,000 the nitpicks of the physical transformation of goaltenders at the pro level, I think 763 00:53:32,079 --> 00:53:37,119 the Sharks are one of the best teams to watch for that awesome. Thanks 764 00:53:37,119 --> 00:53:40,599 so much for giving me us your instincts on the Sharks goalies. We'll be 765 00:53:40,719 --> 00:54:02,960 back right after this. Diggelly sure to get their late picks third through sixth 766 00:54:04,039 --> 00:54:07,800 all gone, though luckily they have extra picks in each of the top rounds, 767 00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:12,199 so third through six it's the Sharks picks that are gone, but they 768 00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:15,239 have all kinds of picks at the top of the draft. They famously won 769 00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:17,760 the lottery. You've been hearing about it all show they're gonna pick first, 770 00:54:19,079 --> 00:54:23,159 and luckily their prospect system is already pretty good, tied for sixth in Victor's 771 00:54:23,199 --> 00:54:27,199 rankings. It all starts out with the no brainer, Victor, who is 772 00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:31,280 it that's the fresh Prince of bel Air Will Smith of course, twenty twenty 773 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:35,119 three fourth overall pick, six foot er, one hundred and eighty one pound, 774 00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:39,159 and he had a stellar first NCAA season, no one had more total 775 00:54:39,159 --> 00:54:43,159 points, no one had a higher point per game pace, no one had 776 00:54:43,199 --> 00:54:45,760 more assists. He was a Hobie Baker finalist. He did not win, 777 00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:51,360 obviously, so maybe his future teammate did, but he had. He was 778 00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:55,440 a Hockey East champ Tournament MVP for the Hockey East Championship First Team All Star 779 00:54:55,519 --> 00:55:00,320 and he was the only non Denver University player to be named the NCUBLEA Frozen 780 00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:06,000 four All Star team. It was all Pioneers except Will Smith, so that's 781 00:55:06,039 --> 00:55:09,519 pretty impressive too. And obviously we talked about how BC looked like a juggernaut 782 00:55:09,519 --> 00:55:14,840 that eventually lost to the Pioneers, but Smith did all he could. Of 783 00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:19,159 course, he was also a U twenty World Junior Championship gold medalist and looking 784 00:55:19,159 --> 00:55:22,280 at all time NC doublea's scoring for teenagers with a minimum of forty games, 785 00:55:22,599 --> 00:55:27,840 Will Smith is tied at fourteenth in total points with seventy one, just an 786 00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:31,639 insane season. He's also tied for fifteenth in the past all time in points 787 00:55:31,639 --> 00:55:37,079 per game per season. In the past thirty years, the only player who 788 00:55:37,159 --> 00:55:40,639 had the same number of points was Jack Eichel, and he did it the 789 00:55:40,679 --> 00:55:45,599 same number seventy one in one fewer game. So that's the level of production 790 00:55:45,679 --> 00:55:50,480 we're looking at here with Will Smith and maybe a peak as to what the 791 00:55:50,599 --> 00:55:58,559 upside is for Will Smith. So, looking overall at his World Junior Championship 792 00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:04,039 player his track data from Mitch Brown, we know that he had nine points 793 00:56:04,039 --> 00:56:07,480 in seven games and for of those were goals. We know that he has 794 00:56:07,639 --> 00:56:13,719 some affinity for showing up in the big minutes in the right time. His 795 00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:16,280 offense was really good. His expected goals numbers were really high, as were 796 00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:22,239 his expected primary assists. His shots were above average but not amazing. His 797 00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:25,000 transition game was only sixty third percentile, which is interesting. Some of his 798 00:56:25,039 --> 00:56:29,880 controlled exits were poor, though his entries were good, and his defense rted 799 00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:34,440 out as a ninth percentile really bad, but his primary point involvement and game 800 00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,320 score overall affecting the game in a really positive way. So you love to 801 00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:43,159 see that for Will Smith. Looking at his FHL player card, you can 802 00:56:43,199 --> 00:56:46,559 see that he shoots a lot and overall the points are ten out of ten 803 00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:51,559 ninety one hundred percent tile basically in terms of goals, and a six per 804 00:56:51,599 --> 00:56:55,000 sixty in the NCAA. His bash though is going to be low because he 805 00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:58,840 shoots a lot, but he doesn't really hit or block at all, and 806 00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:00,960 so that's going to be pretty so unless you're just focused on hits, it 807 00:57:01,039 --> 00:57:05,880 might be a little bit lower than expected. Looking at his underlying data, 808 00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:08,960 you can see that he scores has generates a lot of scoring chances. His 809 00:57:09,079 --> 00:57:13,639 transition game is pretty good. He has some decent puck battles, some puck 810 00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:19,320 touches and puck possession, but overall his defensive metrics are quite poor. So 811 00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,360 that's a little bit of the struggle with him. To hear a little bit 812 00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:24,800 more about what makes Will Smith interesting, let's hear from our FAHL scout. 813 00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:31,599 FHL Scout Arden has this to say about Will Smith skating top of the charts. 814 00:57:31,639 --> 00:57:37,960 Smith has improved his agility, speed edges more refined and explosive. He 815 00:57:37,039 --> 00:57:43,199 activated efficiently and effectively, and has become one of the fastest skaters, if 816 00:57:43,239 --> 00:57:47,079 not the fastest skater, not only in the NCAAA but from his twenty twenty 817 00:57:47,119 --> 00:57:52,199 three draft class. Acceleration is particularly impressive and has allowed him to become more 818 00:57:52,239 --> 00:57:58,239 physically engaged passing and handling. Five out of five Will Smith can make any 819 00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:01,679 pass work. None will ever look forced. He can create a dangerous chance 820 00:58:01,719 --> 00:58:05,880 for every time he has the puck, the speed at which he can control 821 00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:10,039 the puck is unmatched, applying deception in moments that can't be done or processed 822 00:58:10,039 --> 00:58:15,920 by any opponent in his group. For shooting a four point eight out of 823 00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:20,079 five. Once an area of relative concern for an elite talent such as Will 824 00:58:20,119 --> 00:58:23,079 Smith, He's always had a lethal rister, but the release and accuracy were 825 00:58:23,119 --> 00:58:28,960 inconsistent, and the quality of a shot versatility fell off after that. Now 826 00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:34,039 he can get a shot off in nearly everybody position, as with pristine accuracy 827 00:58:34,119 --> 00:58:39,440 and impressive power. Release is as sharp as it gets the IQ over the 828 00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:43,360 top of the charts five point five out of five to Arden, truly a 829 00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:46,519 special talent. He's cerebral and just a joy to watch on the ice. 830 00:58:46,639 --> 00:58:51,599 Will Smith is so calm with the puck on his stick and knows exactly where 831 00:58:51,599 --> 00:58:54,719 his teammates will be and how to facilitate a play. Once the puck is 832 00:58:54,719 --> 00:59:00,159 off his stick, he's getting into position to support the play and elevate the 833 00:59:00,199 --> 00:59:05,880 opportunity. He never abandons pressure. For checking four point nine out of five. 834 00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:08,000 Smith doesn't, for check, with the tenacity of a power forward, 835 00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:13,519 but the effectiveness of one. He anticipates and tracks the play better than anyone 836 00:59:13,559 --> 00:59:16,559 on the ice, and his elite skating, balance and handling make him the 837 00:59:16,599 --> 00:59:22,360 toughest and most consistent player you'll see battling in the offensive end, neutral zone 838 00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:28,239 defense four point five out of five. Is a defensive asset because he drives 839 00:59:28,239 --> 00:59:31,199 so much possession. When he does need to transition to defense, he does 840 00:59:31,239 --> 00:59:36,840 so with ease, and his anticipation allows him to be block shots and pressure 841 00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:42,480 attackers. He creates turnovers frequently, the biggest asset. Then, once again, 842 00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:46,639 as expected, the IQ the biggest concern in the physicality, the top 843 00:59:46,679 --> 00:59:52,000 tier outcome for this guy, superstar center. He's truly a special talent. 844 00:59:52,079 --> 00:59:57,159 There is clearly no holes in his game according to our scouting report and the 845 00:59:57,320 --> 01:00:01,480 median outcome. How about a second center, only a real jam at center 846 01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:06,679 putting him would put him below that ceiling. Well, there happens to be 847 01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:10,519 a major jammer up there in the first center role in this team. Stylistic 848 01:00:10,519 --> 01:00:16,119 comparable Elias Petterson and the final thoughts from Marden, I really believe Will Smith 849 01:00:16,199 --> 01:00:21,159 will be in the conversations with Badard and Mitchkoff as the best offensive player in 850 01:00:21,159 --> 01:00:27,000 the draft. However, his defensive effectiveness puts him above Mitchkoff for NHL impact 851 01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:30,840 to him, and San Jose immediately has the best pick of the draft by 852 01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:37,360 taking him at fourth Wow. I praise for Will Smith and our friend Mason 853 01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:44,119 Black, the NHL rank King sent out this poll Will Smith versus Leo Carlson. 854 01:00:44,519 --> 01:00:49,039 We're talking about the top four picks to the top four picks from the 855 01:00:49,079 --> 01:00:53,360 two thousand and twenty three draft, and in this poll, it was Leo 856 01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:58,280 Carlson, the guy who's got a little bit more NHL experience or all the 857 01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:02,639 NHL experience completed compared to Will Smith under his belt, sixty four to thirty 858 01:01:02,719 --> 01:01:07,599 six. Victor, are you Carlson over Smith? This is difficult, but 859 01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:12,719 I think the short answer in fantasy is no. I think I would still 860 01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:16,719 take Will Smith, although what he did what Carlson did this season was super 861 01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:22,280 impressive, and I don't think we can ignore that, But I still think 862 01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:28,079 the upside in terms of pure points is higher with Smith. I think Carlson 863 01:01:28,159 --> 01:01:30,800 is going to be a much better all around player and might be a more 864 01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:36,480 valuable player to the Ducks to his NHL team, but he's certainly going to 865 01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:39,599 be asked to do more defensive work, more to play more responsibly, to 866 01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:45,119 drive play. He's going to be a center. I'm not still not convinced 867 01:01:45,119 --> 01:01:46,559 that Will Smith is going to be a center at the NHL level, and 868 01:01:46,599 --> 01:01:50,639 if he slides to the wing, that might actually be better for his NHL 869 01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:55,079 production in terms of his points. So if you're just looking at points and 870 01:01:55,239 --> 01:02:00,760 fantasy, I think I would still take will Smith, although Carlson is super 871 01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:05,679 impressive and I think has pretty good upside too. Looking at the PNHLA, 872 01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:08,599 Carlson's is fifty eight and Will Smith is one hundred and eight. I don't 873 01:02:08,639 --> 01:02:13,960 think the gap is quite that wide. That seems a little excessive in terms 874 01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:16,599 of how much how high it is for Smith, but I do think that 875 01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:22,000 we could see on average a twenty point gap or so in terms of point 876 01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:25,239 production between the two. It depends if Smith ends up becoming a center and 877 01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:29,679 asked to do more, ask to play more responsibly, that is going to 878 01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:32,280 hurt his offense. I do think he's going to ask to be a little 879 01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:37,599 bit more responsible, but hopefully for fantasy purposes, they are fine. The 880 01:02:37,639 --> 01:02:43,880 Sharks are fine making him a winger. I think with Celebrini that helps the 881 01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:46,480 chances that Will Smith will be more of a winger. Although we just heard 882 01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:51,320 that they don't really see Bordelau as a center, so eventually they're going to 883 01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:55,320 need a middle six center. Maybe some of the guys like Bistet or Edstrom 884 01:02:55,360 --> 01:03:00,000 could do that, and then Smith can be a top line winger, which 885 01:03:00,039 --> 01:03:04,000 I think would be better for fantasy purposes. Looking at the hockey prospecting between 886 01:03:04,039 --> 01:03:06,920 Smith and Carlson, you have Smith that's seventy five percent chance of being a 887 01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:09,000 star, Carlson at twenty one. I don't know that Will Smith is three 888 01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:13,280 times more likely to be a star producer, but I do think it is 889 01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:15,559 quite a bit more likely. And this kind of illustrates that both of them 890 01:03:15,599 --> 01:03:19,360 are pretty much locks to be NHLer, which I would totally agree with that, 891 01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:22,159 and looking at some other comps for Will Smith, they're pretty much all 892 01:03:22,199 --> 01:03:27,360 superstars. The guys in this model anyways, Danny Brier, Pierre Turjhon, 893 01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:30,960 Pat Lafontaine, del Howard, Chuck. I think Marion Josa is probably the 894 01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:35,199 one that I would pick as maybe the more realistic who had obviously some really 895 01:03:35,239 --> 01:03:37,800 strong seasons but wasn't like Patrick Kine level or anything like that in terms of 896 01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:42,800 his production. So I think a round point per game, like maybe seventy 897 01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:45,719 to eighty is what I would project for Smith, but I think he could 898 01:03:45,719 --> 01:03:49,800 see some seasons that are over that as well. Looking at the j freshcard 899 01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:52,840 for Will Smith, sixty two percent chance of being a star, ninety six 900 01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:57,960 percent chance of being an NHL are basically one of the top ten prospects in 901 01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:00,239 this model. So definitely high upside for Smith. Definitely somebody you want on 902 01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:03,159 your team the Sharks. You're really excited about him. He just had an 903 01:04:03,199 --> 01:04:10,199 insane NCAA season and certainly was Hobie Baker worthy if his future teammate didn't have 904 01:04:10,239 --> 01:04:15,119 such an insane season as well. Next up, Victor, it's our need 905 01:04:15,199 --> 01:04:20,599 to no prospect. This is Quentin Musty twenty twenty three, twenty sixth overall 906 01:04:20,639 --> 01:04:25,480 pick. Pretty great value to get Musty in the latter half of the first 907 01:04:25,559 --> 01:04:28,840 round. Six two two hundred one pound left wing, Very young for this 908 01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:31,719 draft class. He's a July sixth birthday, so he played his entire draft 909 01:04:31,719 --> 01:04:34,800 season as a seventeen year old, and he's still only eighteen as we're recording. 910 01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:40,679 This doesn't turn until July nineteen, so very young. He played the 911 01:04:40,679 --> 01:04:44,760 same number of OHL games this season, increased his scoring from seventy eight points 912 01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:46,400 last season to one hundred and two this season, and he had a ten 913 01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:51,039 points in eight playoff games for the Sudbury Wolves. Looking at his tracking data, 914 01:04:51,079 --> 01:04:57,079 his offense rates out at one hundredth percentile. No one statistically better in 915 01:04:57,159 --> 01:05:00,320 terms of offense in the OHL, so that's pretty awesome to see. His 916 01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:03,840 transition game also really good in terms of his control exits, entries, his 917 01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:10,400 expected assists per sixty we're breaking the Mitch Brown's charts, and especially his slot 918 01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:15,559 passes per sixty, creating really dangerous opportunities for his teammates, board plays to 919 01:05:15,639 --> 01:05:19,000 the middle at advantages created all these things primary port involvement game score off the 920 01:05:19,079 --> 01:05:23,639 charts for quin Musty. The one thing that is still not great is his 921 01:05:23,679 --> 01:05:29,119 defensive game still rates out at just fifteen percent TILE, so that's not great, 922 01:05:29,159 --> 01:05:32,559 but definitely a strong offensive player. Looking at his FHL player card, 923 01:05:32,559 --> 01:05:35,599 you can see he shoots a ton. His goals and assists are also off 924 01:05:35,639 --> 01:05:39,800 the charts. He hits close to average, but a little bit below that, 925 01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:43,719 and overall I have n't rated as an eight out of ten in terms 926 01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:48,119 of my projection. But to hear a little bit more about what makes Musty 927 01:05:48,199 --> 01:05:53,679 tick, we're gonna hear from our FHL scout. We get a report on 928 01:05:53,840 --> 01:06:00,880 Quinn Musky from our FAHL scout arden Muskie terms of skating three point five out 929 01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:04,079 of five agile. Mobile acceleration needs work, but top end speed is very 930 01:06:04,119 --> 01:06:10,000 good, combined with proficient use of mobility in tight spaces, making him capable 931 01:06:10,039 --> 01:06:14,800 of being a relentless checker at both ends. Passing and handling pretty good. 932 01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:17,840 Awareness is high, often makes the play most don't predict. Although head is 933 01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:21,519 always on a swivel, can still place passes in the wrong spot, sometimes 934 01:06:21,559 --> 01:06:26,840 telegraphs his passes, allowing defenders to get in the lane. He lacks deception, 935 01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:30,559 but handling, speed and IQ keep him ahead. He could take a 936 01:06:30,599 --> 01:06:35,880 pass, then dish one without hesitation and vice versa. Shooting that's even a 937 01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:40,719 bit higher. Strongest mechanic is the speed and accuracy of that release. Could 938 01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:44,960 beat goalies from the slot one on one. Also rarely fails to get under 939 01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:48,480 the puck from in tight and get it above the goalie whether they're aggressive or 940 01:06:48,519 --> 01:06:55,000 back in the crease. IQ four out of five is IQ sets him apart 941 01:06:55,039 --> 01:07:00,159 from the competition strongest asset in our man Arden's viewings. Not only does he 942 01:07:00,199 --> 01:07:04,199 see the ice offensively a step ahead of the rest, but also defensively. 943 01:07:04,239 --> 01:07:09,679 He gets into position quickly, makes the right play without thinking twice. Sometimes 944 01:07:09,679 --> 01:07:13,360 the execution is lacking, but that will come in time. Combining his motor 945 01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:17,000 with a borderline elite intelligence makes him a for checking hazard for defending teams, 946 01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:23,039 always aware of a play to make and capable of getting the puck for checking. 947 01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:27,000 Five out of five stars just said his IQ as his best ass set, 948 01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:30,599 but Arden's rating his fore checking even higher than that. Without the intelligence, 949 01:07:30,599 --> 01:07:33,519 he wouldn't be as effective. It allows him to take the fastest lane, 950 01:07:33,559 --> 01:07:38,320 combined to sception and awareness to always have the edge on the defender. 951 01:07:38,559 --> 01:07:42,960 His top end street line speed and four way mobility allows him to get in 952 01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:47,360 between defenders and the puck. On defense well. The effort can be there 953 01:07:47,639 --> 01:07:51,679 when he applies himself, makes attackers hesitate and make the wrong play with his 954 01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:57,559 prompt stick work and processing speed However, he can be quite passive until he 955 01:07:57,599 --> 01:08:02,800 sees the incentive in defending. So the best asset here was intelligence. The 956 01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:11,320 biggest concern acceleration. Top tier outcome for Quentin Musky, top line complimentary winger 957 01:08:11,519 --> 01:08:16,000 or second line driver that's based on his four checking ability, shooting and on 958 01:08:16,119 --> 01:08:21,520 ice intelligence. The median outcome for Quentin Musty would be a fourth line role. 959 01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:27,079 If you can't translate his intelligence and mobility into his checking game, NHL 960 01:08:27,119 --> 01:08:30,640 defenders will give him grief and transition, and Arden doesn't see him giving up 961 01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:36,000 much reason to play higher in the lineup without that advantage. In the stylistic 962 01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:42,680 comparable, Adrian kempe for this fella and our friend Mason Black, the NHL 963 01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:45,760 rank King put out the poll on X put out the call of Quentin Musty 964 01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:53,359 versus Eastonkwent of the Toronto Maple leaves the guy who I think got beat up 965 01:08:53,359 --> 01:08:56,119 on like ten draft shows that we did last year, I feel like, 966 01:08:56,680 --> 01:09:02,199 and Musty continues to be ahead of Easton Kwen seventy three to twenty seven percent. 967 01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:06,039 Pretty decisive win for mister Musty, Victor. Is that how you see 968 01:09:06,079 --> 01:09:11,039 it? Yeah? I think so. Certainly for fantasy. I think if 969 01:09:11,039 --> 01:09:15,640 you ask some NHL teams, they might want Easton Cowen better. He is 970 01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:19,319 also an offensive player, maybe not the best defensively, but I don't know 971 01:09:19,359 --> 01:09:24,800 that he's as as bad as Musty has shown to be so far, and 972 01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:28,520 I think the upside with Musty here is better in terms of the offense. 973 01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:32,319 Both of them have really high pnchily right now, Musty at eighty seven, 974 01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:36,600 Cowen at eighty, and I think overall there is a little bit more upside 975 01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:41,600 there. Although Cowen just had an insane he had ninety six points and fifty 976 01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:45,199 four games and still going in the playoffs thirty four in eighteen as his London 977 01:09:45,279 --> 01:09:48,920 Nights won the OHL Championship and are currently playing in the Memorial Cup. As 978 01:09:48,920 --> 01:09:51,920 we're recording this. You will know probably the outcome of that when you hear 979 01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:58,119 this. But just a really outstanding season, so really improved his stock so 980 01:09:58,239 --> 01:10:01,279 far. But I think Musty's is still higher, and neither of these guys 981 01:10:01,319 --> 01:10:05,319 are going to be huge bashers. Cowen hit some blocks a little bit more 982 01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:10,319 but overall but shoots a little bit less, maybe a little bit better overall 983 01:10:10,359 --> 01:10:14,640 bash but Musty definitely the better shooter. Looking at the Hockey prospecting between these 984 01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:16,680 two, Musty at forty six percent chance of being a star, Kwen at 985 01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:21,119 twenty Musty doubling them up there, Musty seventy percent chance of being a NHL 986 01:10:21,159 --> 01:10:26,399 or Cowen fifty two, So definitely looks like leaning Musty here. Looking at 987 01:10:26,399 --> 01:10:30,239 some other comps for Musty, one that probably makes a good amount of sense 988 01:10:30,319 --> 01:10:34,039 is Brad Richards, who was a star producer. He was drafted much later 989 01:10:34,359 --> 01:10:40,119 due to some skating issues, but obviously was a really fantastic producer. And 990 01:10:40,119 --> 01:10:43,640 I think the same could be said for Musty there in terms of his mobility, 991 01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:46,159 but not the quickest guy, but certainly really smart, great playmaker, 992 01:10:46,239 --> 01:10:49,720 great hands. Looking at the Hockey prospect or sorry, the j freshcard here, 993 01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:54,600 thirty one percent chance of being a star and eighty percent chance of being 994 01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:58,640 an NHLer, So both really strong numbers Musty. Between Musty and Smith, 995 01:10:58,680 --> 01:11:00,720 one of these is going to be the top line and left winger, I 996 01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:02,720 think, unless someone else slides in there at some point, but they have 997 01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:05,039 some pretty good options. And even if he's not the top line, I 998 01:11:05,039 --> 01:11:08,880 think he'll be someone who's on the power play, someone you're gonna want there, 999 01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:11,960 and there really isn't a whole lot of reason to have Musty on the 1000 01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:14,840 ice if he's not on the power player or in an offensive role. So 1001 01:11:15,399 --> 01:11:18,840 I think he'll get that third up victor we've got the keep your on that 1002 01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:23,920 prospect. Who is it? Luca Cagnoni twenty twenty three, fourth round pick, 1003 01:11:24,399 --> 01:11:27,119 five to nine, one hundred and eighty three pounds, left handed d 1004 01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:30,079 That height is certainly the issue. That is the reason he slipped all the 1005 01:11:30,119 --> 01:11:34,760 way to the fourth round. But he had a really after a strong draft 1006 01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:39,159 season. He had an insane draft plus once he's in ninety points in sixty 1007 01:11:39,199 --> 01:11:43,079 five games, led the Portland Winnerhawks all the way to the WATL Championship, 1008 01:11:43,119 --> 01:11:46,159 where they fell to the juggernaut that is and was the Moose joh Warriors. 1009 01:11:47,279 --> 01:11:54,880 He had thirteen points in thirteen games during the playoff run, really outstanding production. 1010 01:11:55,279 --> 01:11:58,439 One of the things we saw from him is he say he really wanted 1011 01:11:58,479 --> 01:12:00,800 to work more on his defensive game because he knew that was going to be 1012 01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:05,600 an issue getting stronger, playing better defensively, and he did so. Focusing 1013 01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:10,239 on his defensive game, he massively increased his scoring production as well. So 1014 01:12:10,359 --> 01:12:14,319 that's pretty nice to see. He's still a bit undersized, and obviously there's 1015 01:12:14,319 --> 01:12:17,560 still concerns about how he is going to translate to the NHL, although he 1016 01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:20,800 did sign his entry level contracts, so that's good to see the votal confidence 1017 01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:26,439 from the Sharks that he can continue to develop. Looking at the tracking data 1018 01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:29,680 for Mitch Brown, you can see that he's pretty much overall a ninety seven 1019 01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:32,560 percentile guy. Ninety five offense, eighty seven transition, eighty five defense. 1020 01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:36,880 All this looks really good. Couple of the defensive end transition metrics are a 1021 01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:41,880 little bit lower, but overall it looks great. In the WHL, and 1022 01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:45,279 his FHL player card shows that he shoots a lot and scores a lot, 1023 01:12:45,319 --> 01:12:48,159 which we know already. He doesn't really hit or block too much. Though 1024 01:12:48,199 --> 01:12:50,680 his hits are about average, blocks are just a little bit below that, 1025 01:12:50,840 --> 01:12:56,560 so not a huge Perferle floor for Luca Kegnoni. You wouldn't expect that from 1026 01:12:56,600 --> 01:12:59,319 a smaller player, but he's close to average. He's not going to be 1027 01:12:59,359 --> 01:13:00,880 a total block, and I have him as a seven out of ten in 1028 01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:04,119 terms of my rating. But to learn a little bit more about Cagnoni, 1029 01:13:04,199 --> 01:13:10,800 let's hear from our Fahl scout Luca Cagnoni. His skating is decent but not 1030 01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:15,880 elite. Good speed moving up the ice, accelerates well and carries speed through 1031 01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:19,000 tight edge work and crossovers. However, he does struggle with agility, and 1032 01:13:19,159 --> 01:13:24,800 especially as a four weight directional skater, he's slow to pivot and position his 1033 01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:30,079 body effectively. Choosing the right time to apply his pace is a consistent problem. 1034 01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:33,279 In terms of passing and handling, is passing is a standout attribute. 1035 01:13:33,359 --> 01:13:38,199 He has a dynamic tool set of passes to rely on in any spot on 1036 01:13:38,319 --> 01:13:42,760 the ice and body position combined with soft hands that can keep up with this 1037 01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:48,159 high IQ. He makes some great passes, but Cagnoni also struggles with accuracy. 1038 01:13:48,159 --> 01:13:51,159 At times. He tends to turn over the puck when he is pinching 1039 01:13:51,199 --> 01:13:57,439 for the offensive pressure and can lead to nasty defensive situations which he is out 1040 01:13:57,439 --> 01:14:01,880 of position to defend. In terms of shooting well, his shot is an 1041 01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:06,600 area that needs improvement. The tools lack quality and depth. His wristshot is 1042 01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:12,359 his best variation and he doesn't utilize it effectively. This is the only shot 1043 01:14:12,359 --> 01:14:16,079 with average accuracy and power. Every other one in his arsenal is below average 1044 01:14:16,079 --> 01:14:19,800 for defenseman, and he lacks accuracy to be a volume shooter. At the 1045 01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:27,600 stage IQ the hockey IQ is impressive, showcasing excellent vision and anticipation. His 1046 01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:32,520 offensive IQ's is separating trade, processing the play faster than his impressive north south 1047 01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:38,000 pace. Generally, he reads the play well, making smart decisions in his 1048 01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:42,399 own end, jumping into the play at the right moments for checking, it's 1049 01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:47,479 relentless. Cagnoni is consistently pressuring opponents and creating turnovers. His length and powerful 1050 01:14:47,479 --> 01:14:53,239 stride is an advantage one, applying pressure that leads to high danger chances for 1051 01:14:53,920 --> 01:14:58,840 he uses his body effectively, but can improve his timing and positioning and applying 1052 01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:04,279 his I ind IQ to his skating routes defense well. It's an above average 1053 01:15:04,319 --> 01:15:11,119 defensive game, showcasing positive positioning physicality for an uther sized defender. He doesn't 1054 01:15:11,119 --> 01:15:15,199 fear contact. Coagnoni effectively uses his body to try to pry the puck from 1055 01:15:15,279 --> 01:15:20,520 opponents when his IQ and borderline elite gap control don't suit the moment, but 1056 01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:26,600 can struggle with quick changes of direction. It has been a big area actually 1057 01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:30,560 of improvement. Best as that then two parter that handling and passing is the 1058 01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:34,960 biggest strength, but without his I on IQ it may not be his ability 1059 01:15:35,079 --> 01:15:41,680 sets up teammates with his vision and passing. The biggest concern was that defensive 1060 01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:45,399 reliability. Although he's got the IQ and the tools and the physicality to be 1061 01:15:45,399 --> 01:15:50,760 an effective defender, he lacks the drive, agility and decision making to be 1062 01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:56,119 considered reliable, although he does show flashes of being a very good two way 1063 01:15:56,159 --> 01:16:00,880 defender. The top tier outcome, probably middle pairing for Cagnoni, could see 1064 01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:04,479 him splitting power play on a balanced San Jose decore. He could put up 1065 01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:09,680 thirty to thirty five points be counted on to provide sound defense. That's the 1066 01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:14,880 best case, top tier scenario. That would be a unique combination of high 1067 01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:19,319 end assets IQ, handling, speed, tenacity passing all contributing to that type 1068 01:16:19,319 --> 01:16:24,840 of outcome. The meeting outcome likely to be a bottom pairing defenseman who can 1069 01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:29,239 pop up the lineup and provide a boost on power play too. His agility 1070 01:16:29,279 --> 01:16:33,439 and decision making can make him nuisance and sheltered minutes could really alleviate a lot 1071 01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:41,000 of those concerns. The stylistic comparable chosen here Matt Benning point totals don't necessarily 1072 01:16:41,039 --> 01:16:45,079 indicate a high end projection, although the Sharks netted value with Cagnoni at one 1073 01:16:45,199 --> 01:16:48,039 hundred and twenty third in the draft. He's got a very long way to 1074 01:16:48,079 --> 01:16:51,680 go and a lot of below average tools that need development. He does have 1075 01:16:51,840 --> 01:17:00,720 unique skills that could make him a late round, second round talent. Mason 1076 01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:05,800 Black puts out the poll the NHL Rankking goes to x to ask the people, 1077 01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:12,119 Luca Kagnoni versus Christian Cairou little brother Christian Cairou not to be confused, 1078 01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:17,119 brother Christian not to be confused with sister Christian If and Luca comes out ahead 1079 01:17:17,279 --> 01:17:23,359 in this one, sixty five to thirty five motor in his way to a 1080 01:17:23,439 --> 01:17:28,159 victory. Victory? Is that how you see it? I think so? 1081 01:17:28,359 --> 01:17:31,239 For fantasy. I just wrote about Christian Cayrou repea ring side. In terms 1082 01:17:31,239 --> 01:17:36,000 of his AHL production, he just had his first AHL season with the Texas 1083 01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:40,399 Stars. The Texas Stars were a great AHL team. They just recently got 1084 01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:44,600 eliminated in the playoffs. There but twenty three points in fifty seven games. 1085 01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:46,560 He had a decent number of ice time for a rookie. He got a 1086 01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:49,800 little bit of power play time. Seven points in seven playoff games was also 1087 01:17:49,880 --> 01:17:55,359 really nice. So overall, he's come a long way. He still has 1088 01:17:55,399 --> 01:17:58,039 a really good shot. That's one of the things that's always been true about 1089 01:17:58,159 --> 01:18:00,600 Christian Kyrus that he's probably going to be someone who scores a little bit more 1090 01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:05,199 goals than usual for a defenseman, and he did that in the AHL. 1091 01:18:05,239 --> 01:18:10,199 He was above average in terms of his goal scoring with eight and fifty seven 1092 01:18:10,239 --> 01:18:13,159 games. Again, there's a lot of variability here, not huge numbers, 1093 01:18:13,199 --> 01:18:16,319 but higher than you would expect for someone in that position. So I like 1094 01:18:16,399 --> 01:18:20,880 Cayrou. I think he's someone who can really develop into a decent defenseman. 1095 01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:24,600 He has the size, a little bit more size. Anyways, he's still 1096 01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:28,960 he's only five tenths. He's not that much different, but he doesn't seem 1097 01:18:29,039 --> 01:18:30,560 to have as much of an issue there, has pretty good mobility. So 1098 01:18:31,079 --> 01:18:33,840 but between the two, I would definitely take Kegnoni because I think if he 1099 01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:38,319 hits the offensive, upside is higher there. And I don't know that Christian 1100 01:18:38,399 --> 01:18:44,079 Cairou's floor is so high that you have to take him there because I think 1101 01:18:44,079 --> 01:18:47,600 the security is a little bit volatile as well. Looking at hockey prospecting, 1102 01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:53,079 Kegnoni definitely has a higher potential here thirty one percent chance of being a star 1103 01:18:53,239 --> 01:18:57,920 to Christian Cairou's third ten percent. Both of them have a similar sixty five 1104 01:18:57,920 --> 01:19:00,760 percent chance of being an NHL are looking at some other comps from Cagnoni, 1105 01:19:01,119 --> 01:19:06,199 you got guys like Aaron ek Blad and David Eyerchek, and Adam Fox is 1106 01:19:06,239 --> 01:19:10,800 one that he looks right now exactly like in the model. Of course, 1107 01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:15,079 a different trajectory for Fox. USHL NCAA took a long time and eventually got 1108 01:19:15,079 --> 01:19:18,600 there. Box only five to eleven, so not that much bigger than Kagnoni. 1109 01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:23,520 I guess there's some possibility there, but anyways, I'm not sure that 1110 01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:27,199 he has Adam Fox upside. Just that's what the comp there says in hockey 1111 01:19:27,279 --> 01:19:30,239 prospecting. Looking at the j Freshcar just eight percent chance of being a star 1112 01:19:30,319 --> 01:19:33,319 for Cagnoni and sixty four percent chance of being in NHL are a little bit 1113 01:19:33,359 --> 01:19:38,239 more pessimistic. But overall, I think we talked about the lack of defense 1114 01:19:38,640 --> 01:19:43,319 for the Sharks. Mukamadulin is probably their only middle pair upside guy. Cagnoni 1115 01:19:44,039 --> 01:19:47,359 I don't think has top upside potential. Maybe a middle to bottom pair with 1116 01:19:47,399 --> 01:19:50,359 top power play. It is probably the best case that you're thinking about for 1117 01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:55,840 him. It really depends on how far his physicality and his offensive game can 1118 01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:59,680 translate. He should be able to play in the AHL this season, so 1119 01:19:59,760 --> 01:20:02,479 we'll see if we can see that from Kagnoni. But yeah, definitely someone 1120 01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:06,640 you're interested in fantasy for sure. That's it for the Santa the Sharks dig. 1121 01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:11,199 If you're a patroon, you can listen to my top ten recap per 1122 01:20:11,239 --> 01:20:15,159 team on Patreon that we'll start after the draft, which is coming up this 1123 01:20:15,239 --> 01:20:16,960 week.
