5
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,800
Victor Nuno Fantasy Hockey.

6
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:30,199
Speaker 2: Live back once again. Jesse's Severe fan Tracks and Victor Nunio,

7
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,079
the Fantasy Hockey Doctor is in. Victor, how you doing today?

8
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,119
Speaker 3: I'm doing awesome? Jesse, I am in, I am here.

9
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:38,240
How are you doing? My friend?

10
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: Good?

11
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,359
Speaker 2: Remember when the doctor was in? Do you remember Peanuts?

12
00:00:41,439 --> 00:00:43,759
Did you ever watch did you ever read Peanuts? The

13
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,520
Doctor is in and Lucy had it in the psychiatric

14
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,880
help five cents. If I gave you five cents, would

15
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,119
you give me psychiatric help?

16
00:00:52,119 --> 00:00:55,039
Speaker 3: Yes, and hopefully it would be worth more than that,

17
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,280
but that's a low bar. I think I can hit that.

18
00:00:57,359 --> 00:01:00,320
And also, fun fact, did you know that I live

19
00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:04,040
in Santa Rosa now, which is where Charles Schultz ended

20
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,959
up moving to. He was from Minnesota originally and really

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,280
into hockey. So there's a big hockey rink complex here

22
00:01:10,359 --> 00:01:14,680
and everything around town is Peanuts. There's characters, there's statues,

23
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,159
there's the airport. Everything's named after Schultz. It's pretty cool.

24
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 2: That's freaking amazing. Yeah, I know he was very charitable.

25
00:01:21,079 --> 00:01:23,239
I read his I think I read his autobiography when

26
00:01:23,239 --> 00:01:24,959
I was younger. I was a huge fan when I

27
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,040
was a kid. But yeah, he definitely enjoyed skating. I

28
00:01:28,079 --> 00:01:31,400
think he had something for Peggy Fleming. But anyway, Yeah,

29
00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:34,359
so Victor, obviously we're going to set up a room

30
00:01:34,519 --> 00:01:36,799
in the Fantasy Hockey Life Discord. Maybe won't make it

31
00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:39,760
patron only, maybe just completely open psychiatric help from Victor.

32
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,719
Five cents and so people can join the patriot, join

33
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,000
the discord, which is free. Which is free. It's less

34
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,480
than five cents, less than five cents even to get

35
00:01:48,519 --> 00:01:51,000
into discord. Maybe Victor won't do that, but we'll talk

36
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,120
it out. And to get in there, all you have

37
00:01:53,159 --> 00:01:55,439
to do is email is Fantasy HOCKEYLFET gmail dot com.

38
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,439
A bunch of rooms. Now is a great time to

39
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,319
come in. By the way, if you're like I'm sitting

40
00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:03,280
here thinking about having a Fantasy hockey league this year,

41
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,280
just a redraft or whatever, or start up a dynasty,

42
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,960
and I'm going to end up in a league with

43
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,199
a bunch of randos. Guess what you don't have to

44
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,639
do that. You could go in there and pick your

45
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,000
own randos. You could meet up with new people who

46
00:02:16,039 --> 00:02:19,159
probably have a certain level of competence and interest that

47
00:02:19,199 --> 00:02:23,560
would match yours. And we encourage people to organize leagues

48
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:25,639
amongst themselves and have a room to do that. That

49
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,759
would be one thing that they could do. But Victor,

50
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,520
in addition to that free Fantasy Hockey Life discord, we

51
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:31,120
do other things.

52
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: What are they?

53
00:02:33,039 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, lots of great stuff that we offer over at

54
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,439

access to all kinds of cool things, like the show notes.

57
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,639
I was just reminding all the patrons that every episode

58
00:02:46,719 --> 00:02:49,800
we do has about forty pages worth of notes with

59
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,039
grafts and all kinds of cool stuff, and some of

60
00:02:53,039 --> 00:02:55,680
it's really valuable. We take notes on what the guests

61
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,280
say and oftentimes you get that before the episode's even

62
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,759
come out, which is pretty helpful. So that's one thing

63
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,840
you can get one on one help. You can get

64
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,479
help with your draft, give you advice. You can look

65
00:03:05,479 --> 00:03:08,719
at the website, the paid the player cards, the ranks,

66
00:03:08,759 --> 00:03:10,560
the tiers, the list, all the good things, so check

67
00:03:10,599 --> 00:03:13,360
that out over at patreon dot com slash Fantasy Hockey Life.

68
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, we even try to take notes on what the

69
00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:19,280
guest says about individual players in there. You can see

70
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,439
it in black ink. And if you look at the notes,

71
00:03:22,479 --> 00:03:25,319
if you look at victors, you see very organized bullet points,

72
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,879
the kind that would end up making you a doctor

73
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,599
if you were studying. And if you've seen Mind, it's

74
00:03:30,599 --> 00:03:33,159
a run on sentence of all the things that I

75
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,840
heard but hopefully caught the main points. In any event,

76
00:03:37,199 --> 00:03:38,639
those things are all open, by the way, if you

77
00:03:38,639 --> 00:03:41,280
haven't been able to get into them lately, they are.

78
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,400
I fixed them today because they were They weren't all

79
00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:45,319
allowing access.

80
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: You're not going to get edit access people, but you.

81
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,199
Speaker 2: Can go in there and read them. We'll be right

82
00:03:50,240 --> 00:04:00,000
back with our interview. We welcome to the show. Chris

83
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:04,400
like locked on Vegas Golden Knights edition, Ready to talk

84
00:04:04,439 --> 00:04:06,680
to some Vegas Golden Knights. How you doing today, Chris.

85
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: It's hot and it's smoky in Vegas. But besides that,

86
00:04:09,159 --> 00:04:13,080
life is good. We got Mitch Marner, so life is good. Yeah.

87
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: I heard something about that. Did something happen out there.

88
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,240
I heard something about that. Yeah, yeah. There are so

89
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,879
many ways that Canada was set on fire this summer,

90
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,079
and that was just one of them. Too soon. Sorry, guys,

91
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,199
anybody impacted by the wildfires. I apologized for that remark,

92
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,199
but Chris, I will not apologize for talking to you

93
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,639
about the Vegas Golden Knights, who had an amazing season.

94
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,240
Once again. You got to take the w's where they are.

95
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,560
They were third and standings points, there were fifth and goals,

96
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,040
the third fewest goals against, the second best power play,

97
00:04:45,079 --> 00:04:48,000
penalty kill was a little bit down, fourth, most shots

98
00:04:48,079 --> 00:04:52,000
and the fewest shots against. The Vegas Golden Knights won

99
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,959
the Pacific for the fifth time in their eight year history.

100
00:04:55,199 --> 00:04:58,600
They had another great regular season, although McDavid and dry

101
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:01,800
Siddle brought their season two halt in round two with

102
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,040
one of the good Stewart Skinner series as we know them,

103
00:05:05,399 --> 00:05:09,360
and Vegas uncharacteristically lost at home three times in that

104
00:05:09,879 --> 00:05:13,920
Edmonton series for elimination. If I'm reading my notes right still,

105
00:05:13,959 --> 00:05:16,480
this is one of the dominant teams of the current era. Chris,

106
00:05:16,519 --> 00:05:19,079
absolutely the Vegas gold Knight, and we will talk about

107
00:05:19,079 --> 00:05:22,040
all the ways they got stronger for next year. Kelly

108
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,399
mccrimmin's black magic continues to make all the cap work.

109
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,879
What are you expecting for next year, sir?

110
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: I mean it's got the vibe of Stanley Cupp or

111
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,160
Busts with the obviously adding Marner keeping the band together

112
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,120
for the most part, improvements in net with Aiden Hills game.

113
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,519
So really it's hard to have that pressure going into

114
00:05:44,519 --> 00:05:47,360
a season. But with the roster the Golden Knights have

115
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,839
when they're with their championship pedigree, it's still is just

116
00:05:50,879 --> 00:05:52,920
so strange we even say that about this team, but

117
00:05:53,319 --> 00:05:56,240
with the championship pedigree, it really feels like Stanley Cup

118
00:05:56,439 --> 00:05:57,920
lea Stanley Cup Final or bust.

119
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, and you're already alluded to it right

120
00:06:02,879 --> 00:06:05,720
off the top that you got Mitch Marner and that

121
00:06:05,879 --> 00:06:08,000
was obviously the big get of the off season. One

122
00:06:08,079 --> 00:06:10,959
hundred two points in twenty four to twenty five definitely

123
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,800
a career season, great year with Austin Matthews as a

124
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,079
setup man. I think it remains to be seen how

125
00:06:16,079 --> 00:06:20,160
all that's going to continue in Vegas, but really great production. Obviously,

126
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,120
seventy five assists is pretty amazing. He's never been the

127
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,920
biggest basher. He only has three point two to three

128
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:28,399
block shots and hits per game, which ranks him four

129
00:06:28,519 --> 00:06:32,079
hundred and thirtieth, but twelve million times eight years means

130
00:06:32,079 --> 00:06:33,839
he's going to be there for a long time. Chris,

131
00:06:33,879 --> 00:06:37,759
the question is will the production continue in Vegas that

132
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,680
we've come to know and love for Mitch Marner.

133
00:06:41,439 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: If you're talking about one hundred point player, that's maybe

134
00:06:44,959 --> 00:06:47,680
where we pump the brakes a little bit. Having Austin

135
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,759
Matthews that dish the puck two as an elite finisher

136
00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:54,199
is something that the Golden Knights don't necessarily have a

137
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,120
comparable for. Yes, Paveldorfia, I'm sure we're going to talk

138
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,000
about him later, but is Dorofiev going to replicate what

139
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,199
happened last year in CANDORFIAV be what Austin Matthews has

140
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,560
been for a large part of Mitch Marner's career, and

141
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,279
that remains to be seen. Of course, Jack Michael, his

142
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,879
scoring input could go up depending on how the line

143
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,160
shakeout Toamash Hurtle is, But I don't know if one

144
00:07:16,279 --> 00:07:19,439
hundred and two point pace in eighty one games is

145
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,560
necessarily a reasonable expectation for Mitch.

146
00:07:22,399 --> 00:07:26,399
Speaker 2: Marner, superstar, Mitch Marner. We have superstar at home, and

147
00:07:26,439 --> 00:07:29,040
his name is Jack Eichel. He was the ninth leading

148
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,240
scorer in hockey this year. I don't need to tell

149
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,199
you that, Chris, but I need to tell the listeners.

150
00:07:33,639 --> 00:07:36,120
And if you go by the minute, he was fifth

151
00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:40,759
among full timers in points per minute. Mind you a

152
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,600
lot with secondary assists. He was number one in secondary

153
00:07:43,639 --> 00:07:46,199
assists the rate. But let's not quibble. I go as

154
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,439
by far the leading scorer on this team. Remember when

155
00:07:48,439 --> 00:07:51,079
it was chancey to trade for this guy? Sure seems

156
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,920
like it was not now. The biggest risk might be

157
00:07:53,959 --> 00:07:56,399
how they hang on to him after his last year

158
00:07:56,439 --> 00:07:59,319
at only ten million dollars is up at the end

159
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,560
of the season, go miss some games with an up

160
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,959
body injury late in the season, seems like point per

161
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,160
game playoffs would suggest he was fine by the time

162
00:08:07,279 --> 00:08:09,759
the season wrapped up. Goes in his prime, He's well

163
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:12,079
over a point per game for his career. Are you

164
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,600
expecting the same level again this year? And if not

165
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:16,839
more or less than.

166
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,439
Speaker 1: That, I think that ninety two to one hundred point

167
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,240
range is very reasonable for Jackleicel. Long story short, and

168
00:08:24,279 --> 00:08:26,199
more of the same seems to be the proper way

169
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,000
to look at that been very reliable since during the

170
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,560
gold Knights sixty three games last season seventy seven to

171
00:08:31,639 --> 00:08:34,720
this previous season. Of course, never wonder what's gonna happen

172
00:08:34,759 --> 00:08:36,759
with the Olympics and things like that. There's gonna be

173
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,840
a downfall after that, or lessening in minutes, or a

174
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,240
possible injury or anything like that. But again, the addition

175
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:46,320
of Mitch Marner. If those two are on the same line,

176
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:48,320
or at least on the same power play unit, which

177
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,559
they definitely will be, there's gonna be a lot of

178
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,559
soft ice out there, which should certainly make scoring come

179
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,480
a little bit easier for Jack Michaels. So I think

180
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,399
I wouldn't put him for any less than ninety four

181
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,080
points honestly. Next season coming season.

182
00:09:01,799 --> 00:09:05,639
Speaker 2: And Mark Stone the captain, continues to play excellent hockey,

183
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,840
it seems increasingly unlikely his games played will ever start

184
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,559
within eight again or even seven number maybe, but sixty six, hey, look,

185
00:09:14,639 --> 00:09:16,399
it's more than in a year since the year he

186
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,480
was traded from Ottawa, so that's good. I always feel

187
00:09:19,519 --> 00:09:22,759
like Stone would get more more bash, more block shots

188
00:09:22,759 --> 00:09:25,120
and hits, but that's not really his game, even though

189
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,360
he's got a defensive reputation and skill, but his scoring

190
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,679
rows above a point per game for the first time

191
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,440
since again that year he was traded from Ottawa and

192
00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:38,200
he put up good stats in the playoffs too. Played

193
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,600
with Jack Eichel again last year. Now you're talking about

194
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,279
Mitch Marner coming in. Mark Stone was a power play

195
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,559
one guy again, excellent twenty five power play points, second

196
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,600
on the team to Jack Eigel in goals above replacement.

197
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,159
Can we get a sixty games Stone again? Is he

198
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,879
gonna be with Eikel again? What are you thinking about

199
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,559
the upcoming year for mark Stein?

200
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,639
Speaker 1: Personally, I would love to see that top unit come

201
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:06,039
back out as Ichel, Stone and Barbershev and then the

202
00:10:06,039 --> 00:10:09,320
second line. I'm actually hoping William Carlson and Mitch Marner

203
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,519
get a chance to go together. I'm sure we'll talk

204
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,200
about some of those players a little bit later in

205
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,840
this show, but as far as Mark Stone, so I

206
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,840
guess the question to start would be on the power

207
00:10:17,879 --> 00:10:21,960
play with Mark Stone? Is he going to remain on

208
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,759
that top power play unit. A couple things that could

209
00:10:24,759 --> 00:10:27,200
happen in Vegas as Mitch Marner takes over the quarterback

210
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,240
role Bumpshay Theodore to Pp two, which would keep mark

211
00:10:30,279 --> 00:10:33,360
Stone likely in that top unit. If Mitch Marner takes

212
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,360
place on one of the elbows, or even they try

213
00:10:35,399 --> 00:10:37,519
and put him down low or move someone else around,

214
00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:40,360
that could bump Markstone off the power play so you

215
00:10:40,399 --> 00:10:43,519
could see a loss of some power play points if

216
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,159
that ends up happening. Number one and number two. He's

217
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,639
thirty three years old, backs surgeries, multiple issues throughout his

218
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,320
career with either fluke injuries or major injuries, and I

219
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,799
think sixty six a list. I would love to see it.

220
00:10:56,919 --> 00:10:59,519
I told everyone seventy games for mark Stone last year.

221
00:10:59,639 --> 00:11:01,480
People I thought I was nuts. He got sixty six.

222
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,039
That's pretty good. I would love to see a repeat

223
00:11:04,039 --> 00:11:06,879
of this. But we were talking on today's Lockdown VGK Show,

224
00:11:07,159 --> 00:11:08,960
and I would look at mark Stone as someone to

225
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,879
fall slightly short of expectations. I don't think he's a

226
00:11:12,919 --> 00:11:15,519
point per game player coming into the season as a

227
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:16,440
thirty three year old.

228
00:11:17,519 --> 00:11:21,159
Speaker 3: Next guy Tomarash Hurtle, second year in Vegas, sixty nine

229
00:11:21,159 --> 00:11:24,600
point pace skating primarily with Doro Fiev throughout twenty twenty

230
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,480
four to twenty five. That ended up being the second

231
00:11:27,759 --> 00:11:30,720
best point pace of the third best point pace of

232
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,720
his career, but the second best in the last five years,

233
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,799
so that was pretty good. He had a couple of

234
00:11:35,879 --> 00:11:39,720
years in the mid sixties and then fifty eight last year.

235
00:11:39,759 --> 00:11:42,919
Through that split season, his bash is pretty good, four

236
00:11:42,919 --> 00:11:45,200
point five to three, ranking them one hundred and fourteenth

237
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,120
and entering year four of that a little over eight

238
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,039
million a year, which is just going to age better

239
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,960
and better if the cap goes up. As the year progressed.

240
00:11:53,039 --> 00:11:54,799
Last year, Hurdle had a little bit less and less

241
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,080
power play time on I was kind of dwindling. I

242
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,480
think some of the gms the roster and him in

243
00:11:59,519 --> 00:12:02,679
Dynasty or wonder worried that's going to continue with the

244
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,360
trade for Marner. Is Hurdle going to be pushed off

245
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,200
the top powerplay Chris and who do you think he'll

246
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,360
be skating with it even strength.

247
00:12:08,639 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: That's another thing we talked about Hurdle. I looked up

248
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,679
on Money Puck if you look up Hurdle's face off

249
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,679
percentage on the power play, with particular face off starting

250
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,559
in the offensive zone. I thought it was like an

251
00:12:21,639 --> 00:12:25,080
eighty percent tile or something like that. It was absolutely ridiculous.

252
00:12:25,639 --> 00:12:28,879
Jack Eichol was im easily like thirty something percent in

253
00:12:28,919 --> 00:12:32,159
the same measurable or something like that. So I can't

254
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,000
see Hurdle coming off that top powerplay, which is why

255
00:12:35,039 --> 00:12:38,159
I mentioned Mark Stone in our discussion. In our previous

256
00:12:38,159 --> 00:12:41,720
discussion right there. As far as Hurdle, so Hurdle started

257
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,679
a little slow last year. He really found his game

258
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,879
about December. It felt was five on five metrics seemed

259
00:12:46,879 --> 00:12:48,360
to get a little bit better. Of course, he did

260
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,360
very well on the power played amazing on the power play,

261
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,039
winning that first face off and then getting things going

262
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,039
and just being a real strong net front and presence.

263
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,600
Seventy three games. I think that was very solid coming

264
00:12:59,639 --> 00:13:02,559
off of a knee issue with San Jose the previous season,

265
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,919
and he was a shadow of himself with the Golden

266
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,960
Knights San Jose a couple seasons ago. Last season he

267
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,919
had six games with the Golden Knights in the regular

268
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,840
season in the playoffs. So Hurdle I don't think is

269
00:13:12,879 --> 00:13:15,039
going on. Was shocked today we were on our podcast

270
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,639
and my co host is like, who is second in

271
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,360
scoring for the Golden Knights after Jack Eichel, and I

272
00:13:20,519 --> 00:13:22,399
had to scratch my head. It was actually hurdle second

273
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,360
or third overall, so that certainly caught me off guard.

274
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,320
So hurdle, I think you're safe. I don't know how

275
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,000
the ADP is going. I wouldn't reach for him. Maybe

276
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,039
in your world. But if you're looking for that value

277
00:13:34,799 --> 00:13:37,320
vet in that spot where if you don't want to

278
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,320
take a chance, if you're looking for a nice chunk

279
00:13:39,399 --> 00:13:41,559
of I don't You're not guaranteed anything, but if you're

280
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,360
looking for that safe play at a reasonable ADP or

281
00:13:45,519 --> 00:13:47,840
auction level, hurdle should be a safe bets.

282
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,759
Speaker 2: I'm Barbashev. You just talked about him, and you know what,

283
00:13:53,159 --> 00:13:55,840
I think he would not mind playing with Jack Eichlen

284
00:13:55,879 --> 00:13:57,639
mark Stone again because that turns out to be a

285
00:13:57,639 --> 00:13:59,919
pretty good deal for a player. He did that faith

286
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,480
play last season and excelled in the position. He's actually

287
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,279
older than Jack Eikeel. I didn't realize that man. He

288
00:14:06,279 --> 00:14:08,679
throws a fair number of hits. Barbaschev doesn't seem like

289
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,519
he shoots nearly enough for a guy who shot twenty

290
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:16,600
point seven percent last year and seventeen point seven percent career.

291
00:14:17,039 --> 00:14:18,799
If you could ever pull out some power play time

292
00:14:18,799 --> 00:14:21,039
you talked about how crowded that's getting He only got

293
00:14:21,039 --> 00:14:24,000
three power play points last year. Seems like this guy

294
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,919
could get himself back up into the sixties like maybe

295
00:14:26,919 --> 00:14:29,039
some of those Saint Louis days. What do you think

296
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,519
of Ivan Barbaschev's year and his future on this team?

297
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: My concern with Barbaschev number one again, I would love

298
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,600
to see that top line come back as Eichelstone and

299
00:14:38,639 --> 00:14:42,440
Barbershev opening up a world of possibilities for coach Cassidy

300
00:14:42,519 --> 00:14:44,440
on the second and third line. With just so much

301
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:48,519
depth on this team, Barbashev struggles when he has moved

302
00:14:48,559 --> 00:14:50,960
around the lineup. He played all four lines last year.

303
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,360
He did get some fourth line minutes, but primarily in

304
00:14:53,399 --> 00:14:56,080
the top two lines. A couple times he didn't go

305
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,480
down to a third line energy grinder role, which you

306
00:14:59,519 --> 00:15:01,799
would think of. Head degree is okay for that, but

307
00:15:02,399 --> 00:15:07,399
it's really not like he's a good hitting top six

308
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,639
forward who can grind really well and catch you off

309
00:15:11,679 --> 00:15:14,720
guard with just an amazing reverse hit. Just ask Gradchlegudas

310
00:15:14,759 --> 00:15:17,200
about that in the twenty two to twenty three Cup final.

311
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,399
He's done that to a number of players throughout his career.

312
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,399
So the biggest thing with Barbershev, if he can settle

313
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,120
into a familiar place in the lineup, whether it's on

314
00:15:25,159 --> 00:15:28,279
that top line with Michael and Stone, whether he winds

315
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,279
up getting a lot of time with Marner or even

316
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,759
William Carlson. As long as he has the same centerments

317
00:15:33,879 --> 00:15:37,000
for most of the season, he'll be fine. You can

318
00:15:37,039 --> 00:15:39,679
lock him up for fifty plus points. Maybe even if

319
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,840
he's consistently out there with Michael and or Marner, or

320
00:15:42,879 --> 00:15:45,080
you're a top line of Michael, Marner or Barbaschev. Who

321
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,279
knows how that's gonna shake out. He could get into

322
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,360
the sixties. I wouldn't go crazy on him from a

323
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,320
fantasy perspective, But again, like Hurdle, if he's there and

324
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,759
you're not the type that wants to maybe reach for

325
00:15:55,919 --> 00:15:58,559
a younger player who might get you sixty points and

326
00:15:58,919 --> 00:16:00,720
could flop and get your three thirty points, I think

327
00:16:00,759 --> 00:16:02,879
Barbershev is a great to safe play.

328
00:16:03,519 --> 00:16:06,559
Speaker 3: All right. You are also alluded to Pavel Doorrofiev. What

329
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,120
a breakout year for Dorofiev first full.

330
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,759
Speaker 1: Told everybody for years, Dorofiev, I told everybody for years,

331
00:16:12,039 --> 00:16:14,000
investing in this guy's hockey cards. He's going to make

332
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:14,399
your money.

333
00:16:15,639 --> 00:16:17,399
Speaker 3: Here's one of my guys too. I've always been a

334
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,559
big fan of him, pumping him up, but he finally

335
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,279
did it. His first full season, thirty five goals in

336
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,399
eighty two games was pretty awesome. Only seventeen assists for

337
00:16:26,519 --> 00:16:29,720
fifty base Some of those assists might come a little

338
00:16:29,759 --> 00:16:32,879
bit more. He shot thirteen point eight percent, which isn't

339
00:16:32,919 --> 00:16:35,320
super worrisome. It's actually been lined with what his career

340
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,360
average has been, although it's only one hundred and forty

341
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,399
nine games into that career. He played mostly with Tomash Hurtle,

342
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,000
and his bash is actually decent. Three point eight eight

343
00:16:45,039 --> 00:16:47,399
per game. Two hundred and forty four is his rank

344
00:16:47,559 --> 00:16:50,360
second year of a one point eight million dollar bridge.

345
00:16:50,399 --> 00:16:53,480
I imagine that he might get paid depending on how

346
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,679
this season goes. Chris, do you think we can expect

347
00:16:55,679 --> 00:16:57,960
thirty five plus goals again from Dori Fief?

348
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,399
Speaker 1: You mentioned the contract, and I think that's on the

349
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,559
back of his mind, but I think he's RFA for

350
00:17:02,679 --> 00:17:05,599
two or three more seasons. Just however that RFA nonsense

351
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,039
works out, so I don't think he's gonna get the

352
00:17:08,039 --> 00:17:10,359
bag anytime soon. If he does get a bag, and

353
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,519
if he signs an extension. Now, it's gonna be in

354
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:15,559
vgk's best interest to lock him up as quickly as possible,

355
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:17,920
because if he does put up thirty eight forty goals,

356
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,039
we're talking a seven million dollar aav player. Even more,

357
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,400
as we mentioned earlier in the show about the salary

358
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,519
cap rising and rising, I'm very bullish on Dorofiev again,

359
00:17:27,559 --> 00:17:30,279
Mitch Marner is not going Mitch Marner's rival is not

360
00:17:30,319 --> 00:17:34,480
going to hurt Dorofiev's numbers by any means. Coach Cassidy

361
00:17:34,519 --> 00:17:37,759
loves having Dorofiev out there and any scoring circumstance because

362
00:17:37,759 --> 00:17:40,559
he shoots everything. Dude shoots and shoots and shoots. He's

363
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,640
that that a shot from the elbow on the power Player,

364
00:17:43,759 --> 00:17:46,319
even on five. Just a lot of times when you

365
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,200
have a Jack Leikel moving the puck around and not

366
00:17:48,319 --> 00:17:49,880
gonna have Mitch Marner, you're gonna have a lot of

367
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,400
just elite passing going on. But Dorofia doesn't care about that.

368
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,400
He's gonna get the puck on that right circle. He's

369
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,759
gonna fire it every single time. He doesn't matter who's

370
00:17:58,759 --> 00:18:01,799
out there. So I'm actually bullish shandor Fiev to improve

371
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,839
on thirty five goals and fifty points from his breakout season.

372
00:18:06,799 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 2: Now we'll give you a buffet of three different.

373
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 1: I like buffets. We have tensive in Vegas now, but

374
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:14,319
I like buffets.

375
00:18:14,559 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I thought they were supposed to have the

376
00:18:16,279 --> 00:18:18,079
cheap bufats to bring people in. Let's time you were

377
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,079
in Vegas twoenty twenty one.

378
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,559
Speaker 1: I want to say, okay, it was just the start

379
00:18:23,599 --> 00:18:25,599
of it getting expensive. It's terribly expensive.

380
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 2: Now, Oh no, that's no good. These are not expensive

381
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,480
players because your GM knows how to how to shop.

382
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,160
Riley Smith William Carlson two of the original misfits, Riley

383
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,799
Smith returning from his parapatetic ways on other teams, and

384
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,720
Brett Howden. And last year we had Riley Smith with

385
00:18:43,799 --> 00:18:46,599
forty points, moving around a bit in seventy nine games.

386
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,599
William Carlson only played fifty three, got twenty nine points.

387
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,039
Brett Howden forty points in eighty games. Not sure everybody

388
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,920
noticed that for a bargain bin contract. How do you

389
00:18:56,039 --> 00:18:58,039
like these guys? Who do you like best for this

390
00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,680
upcoming year? And what do you see here?

391
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: Riley Smith? He's starting going order, you said, And Riley

392
00:19:03,279 --> 00:19:05,960
Smith is going to be a third line defensive player

393
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,160
who if he gets forty points, that's wonderful. He took

394
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,839
He definitely took a team friendly deal. I think his

395
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,960
AFP projection had him closer to double than the amount

396
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,240
he signed for to stay in Vegas. He's had a

397
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,440
house here ever since he was traded away, and the

398
00:19:19,519 --> 00:19:21,440
dude is everything that you want out of a Las

399
00:19:21,559 --> 00:19:24,400
Vegas citizen. So we're very happy to have him back

400
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,240
in Vegas. As far as scoring output, if he gets

401
00:19:27,279 --> 00:19:31,559
to forty points, that's absolutely wonderful. You said William Carlson next, correct.

402
00:19:32,759 --> 00:19:37,160
William Carlson is someone I would be incredibly bullish on.

403
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,000
You're talking a forty goal scorer some time ago, you're

404
00:19:40,039 --> 00:19:42,720
talking a thirty to thirty player. I believe two regular

405
00:19:42,799 --> 00:19:47,000
seasons ago. The possibility of him out there with Mitch

406
00:19:47,079 --> 00:19:49,440
Marner again, that's what I'm dying to see. Those two

407
00:19:49,519 --> 00:19:52,000
get an extended look in training camp and hopefully once

408
00:19:52,039 --> 00:19:55,160
the season starts. I don't think anything less than a

409
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,400
fifty to fifty five point season is in order for

410
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,720
William Carlson. I could very easily see getting back to

411
00:20:00,839 --> 00:20:03,839
thirty thirty, even thirty five to thirty five. That's the

412
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,880
type of a game he has the ability to play

413
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,160
if he's healthy. And then Brett Howden another one who

414
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,440
I think is going to have a good season. Brett

415
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,799
Howden's main concern is that he's buried on the fourth line.

416
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,759
The extension of Brandon Sad likely bumps Howden down to

417
00:20:18,839 --> 00:20:21,440
the fourth line when the season starts. But Howden is

418
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,680
the Swiss Army knife of the forward unit, so he

419
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,559
can be moved around. He can center any of the

420
00:20:25,599 --> 00:20:28,000
top line, any of the Lions. He could play either wing.

421
00:20:28,519 --> 00:20:32,119
His twenty three goals last year were equivalent to his

422
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,880
three previous seasons, so definitely a good breakout year. There

423
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,720
were some off ice issues, I guess we can say

424
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,640
where Howd's name did come up. And why I'm bringing

425
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,519
that up is because it's been a tough summer on

426
00:20:44,599 --> 00:20:48,119
him and his family and everything. So he cannot wait

427
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,440
to get back on the hockey rank and just focus

428
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,480
on playing hockey. Well.

429
00:20:52,559 --> 00:20:56,319
Speaker 2: Shay Theodore is next, as we moved to the blue line,

430
00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,720
and like several other prominent players last year, came out

431
00:21:00,759 --> 00:21:03,599
of the four Nations at tourney not in great.

432
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,039
Speaker 1: Shape the exhibition competition.

433
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,759
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, exactly In his case, it was an arm

434
00:21:08,839 --> 00:21:11,279
and it cost him a month of the season. Theodore

435
00:21:11,319 --> 00:21:14,359
had a great scoring season, though absolutely fifty seven points

436
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,720
in sixty seven games is tremendous. He really throws amazingly

437
00:21:18,799 --> 00:21:21,559
few hits. This guy had six hits in sixty How

438
00:21:21,599 --> 00:21:23,319
does that even happen with the defenseman?

439
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:24,039
Speaker 1: But six?

440
00:21:24,319 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 2: That's fine? Yeah, I got six hits here. That can't

441
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:28,079
be right, can't it?

442
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: Chris? What's seen? Major league? It's all we got are

443
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,400
two hits, two GD hits. That's what I'm saying. Wait,

444
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,680
here's shave theatre six. That's right there. No, I say,

445
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,039
I don't think to say that on the air, but

446
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:39,759
we'll edit.

447
00:21:40,039 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 2: But anyway, Petraangelo is going now less competition for some

448
00:21:44,559 --> 00:21:47,279
of the top minutes here, although Theodore was getting him anyway.

449
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,759
This is the first year of Theodore's seven year extension

450
00:21:49,839 --> 00:21:53,200
signed last fall, so the cap crunching ways of this

451
00:21:53,279 --> 00:21:56,599
team will not be further impacting mister Theodore. And seven

452
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,599
point four mill looks to me like a pretty good

453
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,079
deal compared to a lot of the top defenseman, though

454
00:22:01,079 --> 00:22:03,359
it might not be laid into his thirties, but let's

455
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,680
not worry about that now. Theodore was the top power

456
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,799
play defenseman on the team, but now you're talking about

457
00:22:07,799 --> 00:22:10,440
maybe Marner could edge him out. We'll get to the

458
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,759
other top defense on the team in a moment, but

459
00:22:13,039 --> 00:22:15,160
what do you expect Theodore's role to be and his

460
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:16,359
performance to be this year?

461
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,079
Speaker 1: So co host Tony on today's Actually Lockdown actually brought

462
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,480
up the absence of Petraangel and his thirty three points

463
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,839
that Alex Petraangel head last year. So those points will

464
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,279
be divvied up among the defensemen and some of the forwards,

465
00:22:28,319 --> 00:22:30,680
but mainly among the d And I remember talking to

466
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,480
Shae Theater a couple of years ago when I covered

467
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,920
the team a little more extensively, and I did talk

468
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,599
to him about, hey, Norris candidate, is this something that's

469
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,480
on your Radarn't his eyes lit up? And of course

470
00:22:39,519 --> 00:22:41,640
he gave the carbon copy answer about it would be

471
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,880
an honor for the consideration, But you could just tell

472
00:22:44,079 --> 00:22:45,960
his eyes lit up and there was something there that

473
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,559
I unlocked when I mentioned it. And I've been very

474
00:22:48,599 --> 00:22:53,200
bullish on the fact that Shay Theodore has outside dark

475
00:22:53,279 --> 00:22:58,279
horse Norris consideration. If he's healthy last year and gets

476
00:22:58,319 --> 00:23:01,519
eighty two games, he's got seventy points last season. Plus

477
00:23:01,559 --> 00:23:03,960
or minus, you get the seventy points. That's like that

478
00:23:04,079 --> 00:23:06,599
automatic number where at least your name is in the

479
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,400
conversation people are thinking about it. It's gonna be hard

480
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,960
to ever top of mccarr or Quinn, Hughes and those

481
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,839
fellows and everything Zakwarenski. But Shay Theodore, he is one

482
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,759
healthy season away from at least getting in top five

483
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,319
for Nora's votes. More minutes, we'll see about the power play.

484
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,359
If Mitch Marner does take that quarterback position away from

485
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,720
on the top unit, that will negatively impact Theodore's a

486
00:23:28,799 --> 00:23:32,039
scoring output. But I'll still just stay bullish on him

487
00:23:32,039 --> 00:23:34,440
that if he can just have one healthy season, we're

488
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:35,880
talking a seventy point player.

489
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 2: And Noah Hannafin, of course, another top candidate here, another

490
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,519
extremely reliable year from this guy. He misses a few

491
00:23:44,559 --> 00:23:47,440
games in his thirty nine points in eighty games, so

492
00:23:47,599 --> 00:23:50,440
say that's his norm most of the time. Got second

493
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,200
power play minutes for the team last year. Van Statz

494
00:23:53,559 --> 00:23:56,200
didn't love his defense as much as they loved his offense.

495
00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,359
His d was just slightly below average for those bad Yeah,

496
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,599
he tended to drag everybody waited the positive on offense

497
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,160
when he was out there, Hanaffan did tend to match

498
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,799
up a bit more against top opponent lines. Give him

499
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,799
a little bit of a break there. But where does

500
00:24:10,799 --> 00:24:13,759
Hanafin fall in this revised defensive core and what do

501
00:24:13,759 --> 00:24:14,920
you expect from him this year?

502
00:24:15,839 --> 00:24:19,599
Speaker 1: I think Petra Angelo's absence will benefit Hannafin, which is unfortunate,

503
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,680
but that's what the reality is. Coach Cassidy talked about

504
00:24:22,839 --> 00:24:25,359
Noi Hannafin last year and just how it was a

505
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,440
slow start and everything. But once Hannafin started getting some

506
00:24:28,559 --> 00:24:31,640
time on the power play, he starts getting more touches

507
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,640
on the puck, and Coach Cassidy mentioned when a player

508
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,759
is used to getting a lot of touches on the puck,

509
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,279
they don't necessarily force things. They let things come to them.

510
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,920
When a player who normally was getting more touches, like

511
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,920
a Noi Hanifan when he was with the Flames before

512
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,000
he came to Vegas, he didn't have to force the

513
00:24:47,039 --> 00:24:50,400
scoring opportunities. So what seemed to happen is he was

514
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,240
getting less touches on the puck. One having Pittraanngelo out

515
00:24:53,279 --> 00:24:55,720
there with them. They were repairing for probably about forty

516
00:24:55,759 --> 00:24:58,440
forty five to fifty games last season. And then number

517
00:24:58,519 --> 00:25:01,920
two with that pitch, with the Hannafin not being on

518
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,559
that top power play unit. To get those touches, he

519
00:25:04,599 --> 00:25:07,480
played a little more irresponsible hockey, I think at times,

520
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:12,359
which would support the poor defensive metrics. Now hefan's been

521
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,440
there for a season and a half basically, now I

522
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,920
guess you can say it. He knows the system really well.

523
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,559
The team knows Noah Hannafin really well. He'll have probably

524
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,119
be paired up a lot. Could be Theodore, could be McNabb,

525
00:25:24,559 --> 00:25:26,279
who knows how the pairings are going to shake out

526
00:25:26,319 --> 00:25:29,240
this year. But Hannafin, he might go from thirty nine

527
00:25:29,279 --> 00:25:32,559
to forty seven points, which would be really strong. But

528
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,920
don't look at him to get fifty five, sixty points

529
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:35,920
or anything crazy like.

530
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 2: That, all right, And otherwise on the defensive line, is

531
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:44,359
there anybody here forty point pace, thirty five, anything like that?

532
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: Chris no Korzak is new coming up from the American

533
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,319
League in a regular role. Zach white Cloud has never

534
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,039
been that player. Braiden McNabb. He actually, if you're to

535
00:25:53,079 --> 00:25:56,359
find a braid McNabb highlight package. He actually has incredibly

536
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,000
amazing hands when he gets around the net in a

537
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,519
good scoring touch, but very rarely does he find himself

538
00:26:01,519 --> 00:26:05,359
and that's in those circumstances and Jeremy laws and he

539
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,160
penciled into be on the bottom pairing. It looks like again,

540
00:26:08,559 --> 00:26:11,720
stay at home d man responsible and even if Ben

541
00:26:11,799 --> 00:26:14,039
Hutton draws into the line in the end of the

542
00:26:14,079 --> 00:26:15,000
d he's not that guy.

543
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the goalies then, the Golden Knights. We

544
00:26:18,839 --> 00:26:22,400
ranked tenth and expected goals against p sixty and conceded

545
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,319
the third ranked actual goals per game. Part of that,

546
00:26:25,599 --> 00:26:28,160
of course, you have to attribute to Aiden Hill. He's

547
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,640
the only one back. We have a cure Schmid looks

548
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,799
like he's going to be in the backup role here,

549
00:26:32,839 --> 00:26:36,119
but he'll eleven point seventy nine goals save above expected

550
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,200
point five to nine Delta Fenwick. He had fifty games,

551
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,119
of course, the rest went to Sampsonoff's not there anymore

552
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,160
and he's got sign a new six point two five

553
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,559
times six million dollars contract. Hill was great at least

554
00:26:48,559 --> 00:26:50,839
in the regular season, and I think that it'll be

555
00:26:50,839 --> 00:26:52,720
interesting to see what they do with Shmid. He has

556
00:26:52,759 --> 00:26:55,000
had NHL experience in the past. That's been a while

557
00:26:55,039 --> 00:26:57,839
since he had that many games, but he had pretty

558
00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,720
He's had an up and down season. I guess I

559
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,240
would in Henderson. So, Chris, what do you think is

560
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,599
going to happen between these two goalies. I imagine they're going

561
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,240
to lean more heavily on Hill than they have in

562
00:27:07,279 --> 00:27:08,839
the past. But do you tell me what do you

563
00:27:08,839 --> 00:27:10,119
think the split will be and how do you think

564
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:11,079
they'll perform.

565
00:27:11,759 --> 00:27:14,279
Speaker 1: I think it's hopefully going to be a similar split

566
00:27:14,559 --> 00:27:17,839
as it was between Hill and Samson off last season.

567
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:22,359
Aiden Hill fifty starts career mark. He keeps setting a

568
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,559
career mark in his number of starts since he joined

569
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,440
Vegas twenty seven and twenty two, twenty three, thirty five

570
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,960
and twenty three, twenty four, fifty and twenty four to

571
00:27:31,039 --> 00:27:33,000
twenty five. I've been a lot of reports about how

572
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,440
he's taking care of his body in the offseason and everything,

573
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,759
and it seems like he is making a better investment

574
00:27:38,799 --> 00:27:43,160
into himself to keep himself healthy and reliable throughout the

575
00:27:43,319 --> 00:27:46,519
entire season. So what would be really nice is if

576
00:27:46,519 --> 00:27:49,240
Aiden got in that fifty two fifty three fifty five

577
00:27:49,279 --> 00:27:52,119
appearance range and got as safe percentage a little closer

578
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:53,880
to nine to one. Oh, that would of course help

579
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,400
a lot of things. With the Golden Knights and Kiris

580
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,279
Shmanditji's where do we go over? He had some had

581
00:27:58,279 --> 00:28:01,200
a good moment with the New Jersey. Della played last

582
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,440
season largely in the American League with the Henderson Silver Knights.

583
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,079
His metrics were beyond terrible. Call what it is. When

584
00:28:08,079 --> 00:28:09,720
he was with the Silver Knights last year, he was

585
00:28:09,759 --> 00:28:14,680
actually outplayed by Carl Linbaum Pensylin for the starter's role

586
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,079
with the Silver Knights, but much better metrics than Schmid.

587
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:22,119
I think there could be a training camp competition between

588
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,559
those two. But in the same breath, I think this

589
00:28:24,599 --> 00:28:27,720
is where I as a fan, as a media person,

590
00:28:27,759 --> 00:28:29,039
whatever you want to call me, as far as the

591
00:28:29,039 --> 00:28:32,000
Golden Knights are concerned. But I think it's important to

592
00:28:32,279 --> 00:28:35,319
respect Kelly McCrimmon and that McCrimmon knows what he's doing

593
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,160
out there when it comes to putting the right people

594
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,319
in the right spot. So if McCrimmon believes in Schmid

595
00:28:40,359 --> 00:28:43,440
to be a capable backup of twenty five thirty ish

596
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,920
starts next season, I think he'll be okay, but I

597
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,920
would park the name Carl Linbaum in the back of

598
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,960
your minds as well. Especially if Aiden or Schmid goes down,

599
00:28:52,279 --> 00:28:54,519
that would open up an opportunity for lin Baum to

600
00:28:54,559 --> 00:28:57,720
come up and he could steal a large share of

601
00:28:57,759 --> 00:29:00,200
the net next seasons.

602
00:29:00,559 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 2: This has been a great tour around the Vegas gold

603
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,720
to Knights. Tell people how they should keep up with

604
00:29:05,759 --> 00:29:07,000
everything you're doing this year.

605
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, catch me a lockdown Vegas Golden Nights anywhere

606
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,720
you get your podcasts and on YouTube. We record five

607
00:29:14,799 --> 00:29:17,000
days a week. Sometimes me and my son actually record

608
00:29:17,039 --> 00:29:20,200
a special show on Saturday mornings to compete with the

609
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,359
Saturday Morning cartoons. So Lockdown VGK we have real good

610
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,799
time talking everything Vegas Golden Knights, and hopefully some of

611
00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:27,799
you decide to check it out.

612
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 2: Chris, there hasn't been Vegas Golden Night. There haven't been

613
00:29:31,039 --> 00:29:32,880
Saturday Morning cartoons since our days.

614
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,599
Speaker 1: Are you serious? It's terrible. It's actingly like Major League

615
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,240
was a fun movie to watch when I came out,

616
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:38,319
like in the early nineties.

617
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:40,319
Speaker 2: Exactly.

618
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: All right, well what do you do on Saturday mornings? Then?

619
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,279
What do you do? They are your phone.

620
00:29:44,039 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 2: It's like nature stuff. And kids don't watch TV anyway.

621
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,279
They're watching YouTube twenty four hours a day. They don't

622
00:29:50,279 --> 00:29:51,039
know what they're watching them.

623
00:29:51,359 --> 00:29:52,599
Speaker 1: It's good for them.

624
00:29:53,319 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 2: In my day, we watched TV and we liked it.

625
00:29:55,519 --> 00:29:57,319
Speaker 1: You hear we interacted with each other. We talk to

626
00:29:57,359 --> 00:29:58,359
each other face to face.

627
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 2: That's right, when we were watching TV. All right, Thanks

628
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,519
Chris for coming on and talking with us.

629
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: Cheers everybody, Thank you, Victor.

630
00:30:07,599 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 2: There is something else we gotta talk about. Don't we

631
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,000
have something special to give to the listeners.

632
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,279
Speaker 3: That's right. Jesse Dauber Hockey has generously given us a

633
00:30:17,279 --> 00:30:20,599
couple of free copies of their amazing fantasy Hockey guide.

634
00:30:20,839 --> 00:30:24,039
It's the Bible. It's the best fantasy hockey guide out there,

635
00:30:24,359 --> 00:30:26,559
and we're gonna give it away to some of our listeners.

636
00:30:26,599 --> 00:30:28,960
All you need to do is leave us a recent

641
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,119
most recent five star review, Otherwise I don't have a

642
00:30:45,119 --> 00:30:46,960
way to track who it was. And then we'll select

643
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,799
a couple of the winners from all those who enter,

644
00:30:49,359 --> 00:30:50,720
and get you your guide.

645
00:30:58,759 --> 00:31:03,359
Speaker 1: Since that's good fire pasp Oh my goodness, world long

646
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:04,359
goal with a cat?

647
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,519
Speaker 3: What gram?

648
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 2: Now it's your winglet goalie talk with Kat Silverman, Kat's Instincts.

649
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 3: Time once again for Kat's Instincts with Kat Silverman at

650
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,759
Ben gold mag we're talking Golden Knights goalies and Pavel

651
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,279
Moisovich is the first guy we're going to talk about.

652
00:31:23,319 --> 00:31:25,920
He's six foot seven, one hundred and ninety pounds drafted

653
00:31:26,039 --> 00:31:28,799
third round twenty twenty four. The previous season he got

654
00:31:28,799 --> 00:31:32,559
into thirteen KHL games with nineteen VHL games, and this

655
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,079
past season he increased his KHL the VHL ratio to

656
00:31:36,279 --> 00:31:39,000
eighteen to five, which was nice. His KHL numbers took

657
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,960
a bit of a hit for Scott Saint Pete, but

658
00:31:41,119 --> 00:31:45,079
overall still looking like a strong prospect. Hockey Prospecting has

659
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,240
him trending up from thirty two to sixty seven to

660
00:31:47,279 --> 00:31:50,519
seventy seven percent chance of being in an HLER. He

661
00:31:50,599 --> 00:31:54,480
looks a lot like the Ilios Samsonoff and Brziglof, So

662
00:31:54,759 --> 00:31:58,160
that's fun. Take your pick between the two. Kat Witter

663
00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,720
Instincts tell us about Moisovich.

664
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,599
Speaker 4: I think he's a project. He is huge. I believe

665
00:32:04,599 --> 00:32:06,519
when he was drafted at six foot five and he

666
00:32:06,559 --> 00:32:09,960
has grown another two inches since then. The Aiden Hill

667
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:14,119
Way and to follow the Aiden Hill Way, he looks

668
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,799
like he is seering out what the extra inch is

669
00:32:16,839 --> 00:32:20,079
in his limbs are going to do for him. I

670
00:32:20,079 --> 00:32:22,799
think he's got really good speed. I think for a

671
00:32:22,839 --> 00:32:25,359
guy who is as tall as he is, he's pretty mobile.

672
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,519
I think he needs to add some more muscle, because

673
00:32:28,519 --> 00:32:30,400
he does look like if the game is really starting

674
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:34,200
to fall out of favor for him. He doesn't lose

675
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,640
his decision making power and he doesn't lose his timing,

676
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,160
but he does lose his strength, and so his structure

677
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,599
starts to fall apart. And since he has so long limbed,

678
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,000
he can open up additional holes in the net that

679
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,240
I think are easier to exploit for those more talented shooters.

680
00:32:51,119 --> 00:32:55,759
So I don't necessarily ever watch him play and think,

681
00:32:55,799 --> 00:33:00,279
oh he is he has completely lost all form, and

682
00:33:00,319 --> 00:33:03,559
that is something that to use. The Hill comparable is

683
00:33:03,559 --> 00:33:06,440
something that we would see. We talk about goalie deflation

684
00:33:06,599 --> 00:33:08,880
sometimes where a guy just kind of loses his spark

685
00:33:09,319 --> 00:33:11,599
halfway through a game and you can tell that the

686
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,279
bad goals are mentally getting to them. I don't see

687
00:33:15,319 --> 00:33:18,799
Moisovich do that, but I do see where even if

688
00:33:18,839 --> 00:33:21,160
he is mentally stayed engaged in the game, and even

689
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,000
if his timing still looks nice and his movement should

690
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,839
still be crisp based on the decision making he's enacting,

691
00:33:29,079 --> 00:33:31,960
he physically doesn't have the ability to do it, and

692
00:33:32,079 --> 00:33:34,880
not something that can come in time because he is

693
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,920
still pretty young. I turns twenty one in a couple

694
00:33:39,039 --> 00:33:43,799
months here. But I think we need to see that

695
00:33:43,839 --> 00:33:46,680
physical development, and then we need to see, once he

696
00:33:46,759 --> 00:33:51,720
has physically developed, how he is able to maintain the

697
00:33:51,759 --> 00:33:55,000
agility because he's a really, really fluid mover, which is

698
00:33:55,039 --> 00:33:58,000
something that sometimes when we see these goaltenders under kind

699
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,519
of a later growth spurt, we see them lose some

700
00:34:00,599 --> 00:34:03,079
of the fluidity in their game, where they could forget

701
00:34:03,119 --> 00:34:07,039
what their reaches, they forget what their optimal angles are.

702
00:34:07,119 --> 00:34:10,159
They can need to retool their technique, and it seems

703
00:34:10,199 --> 00:34:12,840
like if he had to do that, he did it

704
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,840
very seamlessly. I just want to see if, once he

705
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,079
adds a little bit more physical strengths, if he's able

706
00:34:19,119 --> 00:34:24,679
to balance that with his current agility and flexibility without

707
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,440
staying easy to fatigue, because that would like gate him

708
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:33,199
to a pretty clear tweener backup role in the long term.

709
00:34:33,599 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 1: Nice.

710
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,519
Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about the other guy, Carl Linbaum

711
00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:39,000
six one, one hundred and ninety pounds drafted in the

712
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,159
seventh round in twenty twenty. This past season he made

713
00:34:41,199 --> 00:34:43,320
the transition to North America and played in the AHL.

714
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 1: He had really good.

715
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,679
Speaker 3: Numbers in thirty six games for the Henderson Silver Knights,

716
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:51,239
and his trajectory has been steadily increasing from zero to

717
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,199
fifteen to twenty three to forty four to fifty five

718
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,639
percent chance of being in an each other. That zero,

719
00:34:56,679 --> 00:34:59,039
by the way, is because Byron didn't have an equivalency

720
00:34:59,079 --> 00:35:01,440
for the league he played in, not necessarily reflective of

721
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:05,079
his skill level. Looking at some comps for him and

722
00:35:05,119 --> 00:35:07,719
tearing it Amaki as someone who seems like it might fit.

723
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,000
He was an average starter for the Flyers back in

724
00:35:10,039 --> 00:35:13,199
the day, and that seems like it could be reasonable. Kat,

725
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,880
What your interstings tell us about Karl not to be

726
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:17,800
confused with his brother, Olaf Linbaum.

727
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:23,079
Speaker 4: I first off, I loved that one of his potential

728
00:35:23,119 --> 00:35:26,239
comps is Karri Ramo, because that's a name that I'd

729
00:35:26,599 --> 00:35:30,840
forgotten about. I think that's delightful. We always support a

730
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:35,159
good Karri Ramo comp He is someone that I don't

731
00:35:35,199 --> 00:35:38,199
want to tell people to necessarily jump on the hype train,

732
00:35:39,159 --> 00:35:44,559
but I respect his perseverance because I think when he

733
00:35:44,599 --> 00:35:47,840
was first drafted, I said, this guy looks fine. I

734
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,599
was like, there's nothing that we love about him, there's

735
00:35:49,639 --> 00:35:51,320
nothing that we hate about him. I think when we've

736
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,599
talked about him in the past, I've said, this guy's fine,

737
00:35:55,039 --> 00:35:56,960
there's nothing that we love about him, there's nothing that

738
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,000
we hate about him. He just played a really almost

739
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:06,880
textbooks stereotypical Swedish archetypal style of play where he's got

740
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,639
pretty decent movement from his knees. He's a pretty fluid

741
00:36:09,679 --> 00:36:11,880
skater who likes to get into a nice rhythm early

742
00:36:13,039 --> 00:36:16,760
tracks pretty well, doesn't get super aggressive with his depths,

743
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,039
likes to do a little bit more lateral movement versus

744
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:25,039
hinging out from the posts. Pretty decent hands, but nothing

745
00:36:25,199 --> 00:36:28,639
was overly stellar, and it seems every year Nothing has

746
00:36:28,679 --> 00:36:32,639
gone from being pretty good but not stellar to stellar

747
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:36,400
but nothing. His backslid and he has with each successive

748
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:40,719
year taken on a little bit more responsibility, and he

749
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,360
went from playing j twenty and twenty twenty one, twenty

750
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:48,480
two to playing at the Hockeyel Spenskin level, and then

751
00:36:48,519 --> 00:36:52,039
he took on a starting role in Hockey Allsvenskin for Dragreddons,

752
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,159
and then last year he handed up loaned two or

753
00:36:55,159 --> 00:36:58,719
two years ago, handed up loaned to the SHL, managed

754
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,440
to succeed at all three levels, made his way over

755
00:37:01,519 --> 00:37:04,800
to North America, managed to succeed for the Henderson Silver Knights.

756
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,679
So I'm excited to see what he's able to do,

757
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,719
and I am excited to watch some of his games live.

758
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,440
This year we are able to go to more more

759
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:17,360
live games if he stays in the AHL, And I'm

760
00:37:17,519 --> 00:37:19,880
intrigued to see what he's able to do, just because

761
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:25,119
he just can't quietly trucking along not doing anything wrong.

762
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,920
And it's guys seeing that he's not a goaltender that

763
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,079
I'm like, He's not a Dustin Wolf, he's not a

764
00:37:34,119 --> 00:37:39,559
Lucas do Staal who I'm over betting on and trying

765
00:37:39,559 --> 00:37:43,159
to hype pump up the crowd for. But he's someone

766
00:37:43,199 --> 00:37:46,079
that I'm not really willing to caution anyone against because

767
00:37:46,079 --> 00:37:48,079
he's crushing it.

768
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 3: Love to hear it. Thanks so much, Cafriget. My insurance

769
00:37:53,199 --> 00:37:54,679
sayings on the Golden Night.

770
00:37:54,599 --> 00:38:15,039
Speaker 2: Boys will be back right after this. Dig the Dynasty

771
00:38:15,199 --> 00:38:19,000
Dig Vegas Golden Knight's Edition. There's been the story of

772
00:38:19,039 --> 00:38:22,320
the Vegas Golden Nights since their inception that they are

773
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,360
not afraid to trade off some prospects, and they have

774
00:38:25,519 --> 00:38:27,800
never built up a huge system. And right now you

775
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,119
have them ranked number twenty five. Nonetheless, there are relevant

776
00:38:31,159 --> 00:38:33,000
prospects here and it starts with a new brainer.

777
00:38:33,559 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 3: Trevor Connolly, yep, the notorious twenty eight, twenty four to

778
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,679
nineteenth overall pick. If you remember, he had some off

779
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,800
ice issues that caused him default in nineteenth overall. Vegas

780
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,280
was very happy to snatch him up there. The six

781
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:51,000
foot one hundred and sixty five pounds left wing finished

782
00:38:51,039 --> 00:38:54,639
his time in the USHL after his draft season and

783
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,519
went on to the NCAA for Providence College and had

784
00:38:57,519 --> 00:39:01,800
thirteen points in twenty three games by injury, and then

785
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,880
he actually finished up, signed his pro contract and went

786
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,079
to the AHL. Had four points in six games for

787
00:39:08,119 --> 00:39:10,719
the Henderson Silver Knights, not bad. He was also on

788
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,519
that gold winning team for the USA at the World

789
00:39:13,559 --> 00:39:17,159
Juniors four points in seven games, and so that was

790
00:39:17,199 --> 00:39:22,480
all pretty good. Looking at his FHL player card, it

791
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:26,119
it's pretty interesting. It shows that his transition game is

792
00:39:26,199 --> 00:39:29,320
excellent across the board, really high marks there. His play

793
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,480
driving overall in college was really good. His FEDERWA can

794
00:39:32,519 --> 00:39:35,480
corsi net expected goal is good. The puck battles won

795
00:39:35,519 --> 00:39:37,199
a little bit on the lower side, but loose puck

796
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,719
recover recovery very good, really strong for takeaways too, if

797
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:42,639
that happens to be a thing, and pims in your

798
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,119
league's very good for pims. His bash, on the other hand,

799
00:39:45,119 --> 00:39:47,400
a little bit lower. He's in the thirtieth percentile for

800
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:51,320
blocks it hits, but the shots are really good. So overall,

801
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:52,920
I have n't had a six point one two twelve

802
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,480
percent chance of being just above average on your fantasy team.

803
00:39:56,519 --> 00:39:59,800
And that's not because of the scoring and playmaking. It's

804
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,760
more or because of the compete level and some of

805
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,280
the off ice issues that continue to just not be

806
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,280
as big of an issue but be some concerns that

807
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,760
he may not be the easiest teammate to get along with.

808
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,000
But that's a little bit about Connolly. Let's hear a

809
00:40:14,039 --> 00:40:17,159
little more Jesse from FHL Scout.

810
00:40:17,599 --> 00:40:21,159
Speaker 2: And our scouting report, and Trevor Conley comes from FHL

811
00:40:21,199 --> 00:40:24,320
Scout Craig. He says that the skating was below average,

812
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,239
looked slow in a step behind. Gaining the red line

813
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,519
even for a dumpin was a struggle as defenders were

814
00:40:29,559 --> 00:40:32,840
able to backcheck and close the gap on him. Below

815
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,280
average passing and handling. Not big on passing, usually takes

816
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,199
a shot or skates himself into trouble. The shooting was

817
00:40:39,199 --> 00:40:41,719
above average, though Conley can rip it with a quick

818
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,599
little snapshot. The hockey IQ is low panic, which causes

819
00:40:45,679 --> 00:40:48,840
him to wait too long most times and skates himself

820
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:52,159
into a corner for checking average. Connolly does not or

821
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,320
does throw the body when given the chance, but he's

822
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:58,280
not out there looking for hits defense average for a winger.

823
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,519
Nothing stood out in a negative way, but he wasn't

824
00:41:00,559 --> 00:41:04,280
making any sort of game changing plays. So the best

825
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,480
asset was the shot. That'll be his ticket to the

826
00:41:06,559 --> 00:41:08,800
NHL if he can find a way to find open

827
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,199
ice to use it. The biggest concern the one dimensional game.

828
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,000
If he isn't shooting pucks and scoring. Then he isn't

829
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,679
doing a whole lot of anything else. The top tier

830
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:22,840
outcome potential tier two sixty to seventy points with modest Bash.

831
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,280
It was a rough year for Conley adjusting to quicker

832
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,320
play in stronger competition, but if he can continually grow

833
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,800
and develop, he has the tool set to be a

834
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,559
top six winger. The median outcome for him tier three

835
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:39,039
limited Bash. That's if Connley struggles to improve against tougher competition,

836
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,960
then he's going to be forced down the lineup. The

837
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:45,679
style is to comparable Mackie Samuskievitch, but with a lesser

838
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,119
ability to find open ice and get the shot off.

839
00:41:48,559 --> 00:41:51,360
And the final thoughts from Craig, Conley has a long

840
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,519
way to go before he would ever consider him in

841
00:41:53,559 --> 00:41:56,360
the NHL. Needs to learn to move the puck much

842
00:41:56,360 --> 00:42:01,360
earlier and limit the poor giveaways. Mason the NHL ranking

843
00:42:01,679 --> 00:42:05,920
and Rainy Top Division champion in the Tide, he put

844
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:09,159
out the poll Trevor Conley versus Michael Hage of the

845
00:42:09,199 --> 00:42:13,960
Montreal Canadians. It's a whitewash. Michael Hage seventy seven Trevor

846
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,840
Conley twenty three. Victor is that big of a difference

847
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:19,719
between Hage and Connelly.

848
00:42:20,599 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say so. I would definitely rather have Hage.

849
00:42:23,519 --> 00:42:27,840
His NCAA season was a little bit more productive. He

850
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,920
doesn't really have the osife issues. He is most likely

851
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:32,760
going to be a center, whereas I think Connall is

852
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:36,599
most likely a wing. So there's some differences there in

853
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,039
terms of maybe being a little bit harder to make

854
00:42:39,079 --> 00:42:41,440
an impact down the middle. For Hage, I think his

855
00:42:41,639 --> 00:42:44,320
upside is capped at a two C, whereas Connolly might

856
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,719
get some looks on the top line. So I think

857
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,639
that there's some There's definitely some interesting differences there. Hage

858
00:42:49,679 --> 00:42:52,039
went overpoint per game at Michigan in his first season,

859
00:42:52,639 --> 00:42:55,079
so you love to see that. If you look at

860
00:42:55,079 --> 00:42:57,679
the ranking app his comps are pretty nice, guys like

861
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,639
Cole Coffield, Joel Farrabee somewhere in that range, and for

862
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:05,000
Connolly somewhere between Keeper Bellows and Nick Schmaltz, which is

863
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:09,440
a wide range. Looking at the hockey prospect in between

864
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:13,360
the two, it's definitely Hage. Connolly went down from seventeen

865
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,239
to ten percent chance of being a star, and Hage

866
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:17,480
went down from thirty one to nineteen percent chance of

867
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,639
being a start. Hage finished a little bit higher than

868
00:43:19,639 --> 00:43:23,599
where Connolly began, and I definitely like the upside there.

869
00:43:23,599 --> 00:43:26,159
It's a good comp too, because both guys were in

870
00:43:26,199 --> 00:43:29,000
the USHL and then went to the NCAA and their

871
00:43:29,079 --> 00:43:30,280
draft plus one season.

872
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:31,599
Speaker 1: If you look at.

873
00:43:31,559 --> 00:43:35,039
Speaker 3: The FHL player card for Hage, it's a little less

874
00:43:35,039 --> 00:43:37,920
sparkling on the transition, but overall really good. It's basically

875
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,719
just different in that he doesn't dump the puck in

876
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,480
or out. He carries it or passes it, and so

877
00:43:41,559 --> 00:43:44,519
those are both elite. His net expected goals is really

878
00:43:44,559 --> 00:43:46,480
high and so it's his Fenwick, but his course is

879
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,280
a little bit lower. The loose puck recovery is excellent

880
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,480
for Hage, and the puck battle is a little bit lower.

881
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,639
Bash probably going to be better. The hits are above

882
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,679
sixty percent, blocks are right around average, and the shots

883
00:43:57,679 --> 00:44:01,480
are only in the seventies eight percentile, so overall his

884
00:44:01,559 --> 00:44:04,199
BASH should be around seventies. He is a center, he

885
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,239
takes a lot of face offs, he wins most of them,

886
00:44:06,639 --> 00:44:08,760
so that might be a deciding factor too. He also

887
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,280
does get a fair amount of pims, and overall I

888
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:14,159
think the scoring and his whole game is more translatable,

889
00:44:14,159 --> 00:44:15,679
so I have him had a six point seventy four.

890
00:44:16,559 --> 00:44:20,320
Looking at some other comps for Connolly, there's some interesting

891
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,800
ones here. I think Jack Raslovick is probably one, just

892
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:26,079
in terms of his point production. I'm not sure about

893
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,800
the rest of his all around game. I think Connolly

894
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,440
might have more upside and certainly has more bash, but

895
00:44:31,679 --> 00:44:34,599
maybe that's the type of points you can expect. And

896
00:44:34,639 --> 00:44:36,840
the j Fresh card for Connolly five percent chance of

897
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:38,719
being a star, twenty two percent chance of being an

898
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,639
NHL are as usual a little bit more pessimistic there.

899
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:46,559
Speaker 2: Jesse very good victor who's the need to know prospect?

900
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:51,199
Speaker 3: The need to know would be Matteo Nobert. Or it

901
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:54,239
might be no Bear. Actually I'm not sure. He is

902
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,639
a twenty twenty five third round pick by Vegas, six

903
00:44:57,679 --> 00:45:00,039
foot er, one hundred and sixty eight pounds. He he

904
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,840
was playing in the queue for the Blaineville Boa bron

905
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:07,199
Armada and sixty seven points and fifty seven games, not

906
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:11,280
too bad, and had a decent run in the playoffs

907
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:16,239
as well. Looking at the tracking data from Mitch Brown,

908
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:20,480
it's not that great for Nobert. He overall thirty eight

909
00:45:20,559 --> 00:45:24,440
percent percentile the defense and transition game was a little

910
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,679
bit better, but none of it's above fifty percent, which

911
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,559
is a little bit concerning. His best things are probably

912
00:45:29,559 --> 00:45:32,639
his controlled entries, his cross lane plays off puck assists,

913
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,119
but even his shots for sixty expected primary goals and assists,

914
00:45:36,119 --> 00:45:38,320
all that's a bit lower. If you look at my

915
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,880
Fantasy Hockey Life player card, you can see that there's

916
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,519
a little bit more credit here, or I guess similarly

917
00:45:44,559 --> 00:45:48,199
good for his transition game in spots, the breakouts via

918
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:52,199
dump out and passing, all that looks pretty good. Most

919
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:55,000
of his play driving doesn't look that good, except as

920
00:45:55,079 --> 00:45:57,199
net expected goals is really high, but his course he's

921
00:45:57,199 --> 00:46:01,079
really low. Fenwick isn't so great, and the bash isn't

922
00:46:01,119 --> 00:46:02,800
so great either. Both the hits in the blocks are

923
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,360
in the thirtieth percentile and the shots are in the seventies,

924
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:08,599
So overall he'd probably be below average for bash and

925
00:46:08,679 --> 00:46:12,239
definitely for pims. So overall you're banking on some point

926
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:15,480
production translation. So I have him at a six point

927
00:46:15,519 --> 00:46:19,079
one one, just eleven percent chance of being above average.

928
00:46:19,159 --> 00:46:21,719
But let's see if there's anything else above average for

929
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,159
Mateo and Obert from artifagraal scout Jesse.

930
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:29,199
Speaker 2: Lead scout Patrick says this about Miteo Nobert. He is

931
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:32,320
an above average skater, good edgework and speed, able to

932
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:35,239
get up and down the ice with ease, talented passer

933
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:39,360
and handler adapted quality passes to teammates, including home run passes.

934
00:46:39,639 --> 00:46:42,679
The handling includes the ability to transport it up the ice.

935
00:46:43,159 --> 00:46:45,880
Nobert has a quick and accurate release on his shot.

936
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,559
Most of his goals come within ten feet through accurate

937
00:46:49,679 --> 00:46:54,119
risters or soft handed defections or movers. The hockey IQ

938
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:59,159
above average IQ, passinger and movement demonstrate calmness and seeing

939
00:46:59,199 --> 00:47:03,199
the play the fore checking a capable for checker, and

940
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,880
Nobert will check or use his stick to steal the

941
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,840
puck and keep the play in the zone. Defense tail

942
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:12,960
skates back, hard covers his man on in zone coverage,

943
00:47:13,039 --> 00:47:15,960
and helps on the penalty kill, but can be inconsistent

944
00:47:16,079 --> 00:47:20,239
in his coverage. So the best asset. Several good assets here,

945
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:22,480
but the puck skills in soft touch are probably the

946
00:47:22,519 --> 00:47:26,360
best and the biggest concern. Although he does help on defense,

947
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,440
his coverage needs to be more consistent. The top tier

948
00:47:29,519 --> 00:47:32,679
potential outcome middle six around power play one with sixty

949
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,840
to seventy points. That's because he has deficiencies that he

950
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,440
can shore up to reach a high end third liner

951
00:47:38,599 --> 00:47:42,039
or good second liner. The median outcome here bottom six

952
00:47:42,039 --> 00:47:45,599
around power Play two with forty five to fifty five points.

953
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:49,199
If he can't improve his weaknesses sufficiently, he has enough

954
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,920
skill to play a lesser role. The style istic comparable

955
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:56,039
a man who's a legend in Finland. Let me tell

956
00:47:56,039 --> 00:48:02,599
you Michael Granlindas in black. The NHL ranking put Mattimo

957
00:48:02,679 --> 00:48:07,400
Nobert up against Luca Romano, and Romano of New York

958
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:12,639
Calendars draft is much higher fifty nine to forty one

959
00:48:12,639 --> 00:48:14,800
over Nobert, Victor. Is this how you see it?

960
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 3: Probably not when the reality is that these are all

961
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,719
depth lottery picks. Probably not anything to get too excited about.

962
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:23,400
But I would definitely take No Bird. I think he

963
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:27,320
has more scoring upside. His PNHL is much higher, which

964
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,480
I'm surprised. Usually when people vote on these polls, they

965
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,119
just click whoever has a higher PNHLLY so interesting to

966
00:48:32,119 --> 00:48:34,239
see that they didn't really do that. If you just

967
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:36,559
look at the comps for No Bird, there's some pretty

968
00:48:36,599 --> 00:48:40,159
good ones like Tim Omeyer is an eightieth percentile match.

969
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,719
Jack Quinn is also there, Jared Anderston Dolan, so there's

970
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:44,800
a range there, but I could see him working out

971
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:48,239
similar to those guys, and for Luca Romano, they're all

972
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:52,360
basically guys that didn't really do much like Vanilitary, So

973
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,719
definitely leading Nobt there. I think he's still a little raw,

974
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,280
He's got a long ways to go. But also as

975
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:01,599
we're recording this, he's still seventeen. He's been seventeen his

976
00:49:01,639 --> 00:49:04,280
whole draft year and he will be eighteen his whole

977
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:07,480
draft plus one year, so he's also really young, and

978
00:49:07,519 --> 00:49:09,920
I sometimes you got to give him the benefit of

979
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:13,719
the doubt there and maybe he can increase that scoring

980
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:16,480
quite a bit. Romano is also pretty young June twenty fifth,

981
00:49:16,599 --> 00:49:18,719
he's in the OHL and had a pretty good season

982
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,679
for Kitchener, just under a point per game. So overall,

983
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,320
these are both pretty decent depth options if you're training

984
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,079
to take some swings later in your draft. But I

985
00:49:26,119 --> 00:49:28,920
would go no Bert looking at the Hockey prospecting between

986
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:32,199
the two thirteen percent chance of being a star for Nobert,

987
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,360
he really popped off in his draft season, was a

988
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:37,599
lot lower in his D minus one season and Romano

989
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:42,039
just three percent chance of being a star. His NHLI

990
00:49:42,559 --> 00:49:45,519
was pretty low in the OHL. The rest of the

991
00:49:45,559 --> 00:49:47,840
player card for Romano shows that his BASH is a

992
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,519
little bit higher, his transition game is pretty good, and

993
00:49:50,679 --> 00:49:52,639
his play driving might even be a little bit better.

994
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:54,239
But I have him had a five point four or five,

995
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:56,519
just because I'm not so sure about the scoring upside.

996
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,000
Looking at some other comps for Nobert, there aren't a

997
00:49:59,039 --> 00:50:02,960
whole lot of good ones. But Jesse Kiskanen is maybe

998
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:06,480
one who's still developing in the Nashville Predator system. There

999
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,400
aren't a whole lot of other other great comps for him.

1000
00:50:09,679 --> 00:50:12,119
Looking at the j Fresh card just two percent chance

1001
00:50:12,159 --> 00:50:14,000
of being a star, thirteen percent chance of being in

1002
00:50:14,079 --> 00:50:17,239
NHL or as always a bit more pessimistic there.

1003
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,079
Speaker 2: And Victor the keep your eye on prospect.

1004
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,679
Speaker 3: The keep your eye on is Jacob is Wolve's Woesnyak.

1005
00:50:26,199 --> 00:50:31,920
Jacob is Wolznyak. He is a twenty twenty five second

1006
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:35,039
round pick by the Vegas Golden Knights. He is Australian.

1007
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:40,360
That's fun, definitely one of the few Australian born players

1008
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:43,679
we have. He's actually Swedish, descent, but he's has a

1009
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:46,360
nationality for Australia. Maybe we'll see them in the Olympics.

1010
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:50,920
It'll be fine. I'll probably not so looking at what

1011
00:50:51,039 --> 00:50:54,280
he did, sixty two hundred ninety pounds he played. He's

1012
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:57,079
developing in Sweden and he played many played at the

1013
00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:59,679
J twenty this year. Had really nice season, fifty seven

1014
00:50:59,679 --> 00:51:02,519
points in forty games. He did get a few SHL

1015
00:51:02,599 --> 00:51:07,480
games two points in thirteen games, so overall, not too

1016
00:51:07,559 --> 00:51:09,960
exciting in the SHL as you might expect. His U

1017
00:51:10,039 --> 00:51:12,440
eight teens that were really good seven points in seven games,

1018
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:16,280
so that's pretty nice. You look at his FHL player

1019
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,039
card and you see a lot of red, a lot

1020
00:51:18,039 --> 00:51:21,559
of his transition game is not ideal, and this is

1021
00:51:21,559 --> 00:51:25,639
from the J twenty league, not the SHL, but he

1022
00:51:25,679 --> 00:51:28,519
did have some pretty good play driving. His bash is excellent,

1023
00:51:28,559 --> 00:51:31,039
so that's something to know about Jacob is Wolsniak is

1024
00:51:31,079 --> 00:51:33,400
that his hits are really high, his shots are good,

1025
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,519
and his blocks are pretty average as well. So all

1026
00:51:35,519 --> 00:51:38,679
in all, his bash looks really high and all of

1027
00:51:38,679 --> 00:51:41,239
that looks pretty good as pims are about average, so

1028
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,199
there's a decent peripheral floor there. While you wait for

1029
00:51:44,679 --> 00:51:47,679
some potential scoring upside. Let's hear about that potential scoring

1030
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:49,360
upside from our FHL scout Jesse.

1031
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 2: Jacob is Wolsniak is the next man on the agenda

1032
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:59,440
and this is FHL lead scout Tony's scouting report. Jacob

1033
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:02,480
can be a smooth, fluid skater at times, although it

1034
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,800
does not look like he's that fast. Passing and handling

1035
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:09,920
above average handling and passing the puck, although usually the

1036
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:13,280
puck is not on his stick long enough to find out. Shooting,

1037
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,280
he has a variety of shots, slap shots, wrist shots,

1038
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:19,280
one timers. His shots are usually accurate and he can

1039
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:22,760
get his own shot off the hockey IQ smart player,

1040
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,639
able to anticipate where to go to get open for

1041
00:52:25,679 --> 00:52:28,679
a pass from a teammate to get his shots. For checking,

1042
00:52:29,119 --> 00:52:31,840
Tony did see some Ford checking, especially when he turned

1043
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:34,639
over the puck, but also saw sometimes where it was

1044
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:37,719
just a stickwave defense. Did not see a lot of

1045
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:41,159
defense from Jacob other than some stick defense. Tony would

1046
00:52:41,159 --> 00:52:44,159
say the best asset here for is Wolsnyak is his

1047
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:47,079
ability to get his shots off, either by himself or

1048
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:49,880
by finding a teammate or finding an opening to receive

1049
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:53,559
a pass from a teammate. The biggest concern lack of defense,

1050
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:57,239
not a lot of bash. Top tier potential outcome Tier one,

1051
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:00,400
top six player, and that's because he could re Tier

1052
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:02,679
one with his shooting in a lot of power play time,

1053
00:53:03,119 --> 00:53:06,360
the median outcome, Tier three, bottom six or extra forward.

1054
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:11,000
That's because a lack of defense and sometimes lackluster play

1055
00:53:11,079 --> 00:53:13,440
and not a lot of bash could come back to

1056
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:17,079
haunt him. Tony had trouble coming up with a great comparable,

1057
00:53:17,199 --> 00:53:19,679
but he did say it. Did see one scout say

1058
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:23,440
Andre Berkowski, and the final thought could have a productive

1059
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:26,000
career if he can even out the peaks and valleys,

1060
00:53:26,039 --> 00:53:32,239
pick up defense and physicality. And Mason Black puts Jacobismo

1061
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:38,320
Woosniak up against fellow Draftdee Sheen Vesagi of the Philadelphia Flyers.

1062
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:40,400
I believe we had audio on both of these guys

1063
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,159
that came back. I'm not sure if all of it

1064
00:53:43,199 --> 00:53:45,079
made the show, but I know you got on the

1065
00:53:45,079 --> 00:53:48,519
scrum for both these guys. I'm pretty sure victor Is

1066
00:53:48,559 --> 00:53:53,320
Woosnyak is the winner. Is fifty eight percent is forty

1067
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,760
two percent for Vonsagi. One of the great Philly hitters

1068
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,199
here is that correct.

1069
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. I'm thinking that I probably would

1070
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:07,760
take is Wozniak. I like Shane Venzagi a lot too,

1071
00:54:08,039 --> 00:54:10,559
and both of these guys are actually pretty big bashers.

1072
00:54:10,639 --> 00:54:13,119
As we talked about in a previous episode, Philly basically

1073
00:54:13,199 --> 00:54:16,960
picked all bashers for the most part, and his Venzagi's

1074
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:20,920
bash predicts to be ninety fifth percentile, so he's way

1075
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:24,039
up there for hits and shots are pretty good. The

1076
00:54:24,039 --> 00:54:26,960
blocks are lower, but overall he hits a ton and

1077
00:54:27,039 --> 00:54:29,639
think gets a lot of pymns, so that part's going

1078
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:31,760
for you. But I don't know about the rest of

1079
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,840
his game, translating scoring wise. So that's why I have

1080
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,679
n Sagi at a five point four to nine and

1081
00:54:38,039 --> 00:54:40,880
is Wozniak I have a little bit higher than that.

1082
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:42,599
I would take him just for the scoring up side,

1083
00:54:42,639 --> 00:54:45,760
there's also a decent peripheral floor. We're eager to see

1084
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,639
what is no Wozniak can do in the SAHL next season.

1085
00:54:48,639 --> 00:54:51,079
Hopefully he'll get some time there. If you look at

1086
00:54:51,119 --> 00:54:55,639
the comps here, none of them are super good in

1087
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:58,599
terms of either of them in the PNHL model, but

1088
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,519
in the Hockey Prospect model, there's ten percent chance of

1089
00:55:01,559 --> 00:55:04,639
being a star for is Bosniak and just two percent

1090
00:55:04,679 --> 00:55:07,480
for Van Sagi and a little bit better comps for

1091
00:55:07,559 --> 00:55:10,639
is Wozniak. Maybe someone like Sam Steele could be a

1092
00:55:10,639 --> 00:55:13,880
good comp there. I think that there's some reasonable ones there.

1093
00:55:14,039 --> 00:55:17,800
He seems to fit pretty closely to what is Bosniak

1094
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,679
could be if you look at the j fresh card,

1095
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:23,119
five percent chance of being a star, twenty five percent

1096
00:55:23,159 --> 00:55:26,440
chance of being an NHL or so a little bit

1097
00:55:26,599 --> 00:55:29,639
more optimism there, but overall, as usual, a little pessimistic.

1098
00:55:29,679 --> 00:55:31,719
I think that'll shift once we see a little bit

1099
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:34,320
more shl time from is Wozniak, which hopefully will happen

1100
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:37,440
this year. That's it for the Vegas Golden Night's Dig.

1101
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:38,800
If you're a patron, you can listen to my top

ten prospect recaps per team, which actually I only have

1103
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:43,920
about five to go. Most of them are out there,
