Speaker 3: Oh, I'm doing awesome, Jesse. Definitely, at the end of

11
00:00:39,439 --> 00:00:42,880
a long day of recording. It always is a bit trying,

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,359
but we're powering through the least we can do. How

13
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,439
you doing, my friend, I'm doing good.

14
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,079
Speaker 4: I'm doing good. I enjoy the team. I always say

15
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:52,280
I enjoy the team we're talking about. I say I'm

16
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,399
a fan of a team. But let me tell you something.

17
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,920
The Columbus Blue Jackets alternate jerseys are actually my favorite

18
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,679
jerseys in the NHL. So you definitely want to get

19
00:01:01,679 --> 00:01:03,520

And right after this.

37
00:01:55,480 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 4: We'll be back to talk about our team Creak. Welcome

38
00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:08,840
to the show today. Brian Hedger of the Columbus Dispatch,

39
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,000
ready to talk to us about those Columbus Blue Jackets.

40
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,039
How you doing there, Brian?

41
00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: Doing pretty good? How are you guys.

42
00:02:15,879 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 4: Doing pretty good? Doing pretty good? Thinking about hockey in

43
00:02:18,599 --> 00:02:21,599
the middle of the summer. He can't beat that, right, well, Brian,

44
00:02:21,759 --> 00:02:23,879
The Jackets ended up two points out of the playoffs

45
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,000
and on a six game win streak. No doubt, they

46
00:02:27,039 --> 00:02:29,960
were one of the stories of the team for a

47
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,919
team that was just barely out of the playoffs. One

48
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,039
of the pleasant surprises in terms of performance. Tied for

49
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,919
the seventh most goals scored in the league with the

50
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,400
Toronto Maple Leaves. I had a double look at that.

51
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,080
I couldn't believe that in my mind, but they did

52
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,879
it with even strength, scoring two hundred and one even

53
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:50,400
strength goals topped the league eleven more than the Washington

54
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,199
Capitals and the runner up spot. The flip side was

55
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,680
they had one of the worst power play totals. That's

56
00:02:55,719 --> 00:02:58,759
because partly they had the fewest power play opportunities in

57
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,800
the NHL. Give us a whistle dog Gunet. The goal

58
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:05,520
tended totals were in the middle of the road the percentages,

59
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,479
but the fifth most shots against was certainly not helpful

60
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,360
to their goals differential. The season started, of course, with

61
00:03:13,439 --> 00:03:16,240
tragic national attention. I think that even was covered last

62
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,759
summer with the loss of Johnny Gudreau, so that obviously

63
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:25,240
was one of the huge storylines. But after all these

64
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,000
things have happened last year, how did Jackets look at

65
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,680
the season or Jackets fans look at the season concluded,

66
00:03:31,199 --> 00:03:33,199
and what do you think, what did the team think?

67
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,800
What are the fans think it's coming next for this team.

68
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: That's interesting because if you roll it back to last offseason,

69
00:03:41,479 --> 00:03:45,840
Patrick Loney wanted a trade. He demanded a trade, so

70
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,280
it took him pretty much all summer to work out

71
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:52,400
a deal and they ended up sending him to Montreal.

72
00:03:52,919 --> 00:03:55,599
And basically what they got back, they got Jordan Harris back,

73
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,599
and they wound up not keeping Jordan Harris this offseason.

74
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,000
But the big thing in that trade was just get

75
00:04:03,039 --> 00:04:07,000
the salary off the books Montreal. Whatever was left on

76
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,199
online of his contract. Montreal just took all of it

77
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,240
and said we'll pay all of it. And so that

78
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,319
was a big help to the Blue Jackets because they

79
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,439
you're clearing cap space, but you're also clearing actual salary

80
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:22,240
as well. So they get that done in mid to

81
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,720
late August last year, and then a week later, there's

82
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:31,120
a tragedy and Johnny Gudreau, your top remaining player dies.

83
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,399
Nobody can predict something like that. So those two guys,

84
00:04:35,399 --> 00:04:39,120
like no line A did last year. He spent here,

85
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,199
He only played like eighteen games. The he had injuries

86
00:04:42,399 --> 00:04:45,879
and went into the player assistance program that kind of stuff.

87
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,720
But for the vast majority of his career here and

88
00:04:48,759 --> 00:04:53,319
after Johnny Gudrou signed here, those were your top Those

89
00:04:53,319 --> 00:04:56,399
were two of your top three forwards in the top line.

90
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,480
So in essence, the Blue Jackets within one week lost

91
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,720
two thirds of their first forward line. And so everybody

92
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:09,000
looked at that going into the season and we're like,

93
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,920
we didn't think this team was going to be good anyway,

94
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,399
and now they're going to be terrible. Not only are

95
00:05:14,399 --> 00:05:16,800
they going to be awful, Like if you go back

96
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:21,199
and read the season previews for pretty much every publication

97
00:05:21,399 --> 00:05:26,279
going into last season, it was the most optimistic outcome

98
00:05:26,319 --> 00:05:29,000
that people predicted was that they would win the lottery.

99
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,319
They would finally win the lottery, and because they've never

100
00:05:32,399 --> 00:05:35,319
done that, and they would just add another great player

101
00:05:35,319 --> 00:05:37,600
to Adam Fantilly and just kick the can down the

102
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,079
road and blah blah blah. They end up having a

103
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,560
season like you just detailed, where they only finished two

104
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,800
points out of a playoff spot. And not only did

105
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,079
they finish two points out of a playoffs, but they actually,

106
00:05:50,079 --> 00:05:52,800
when I looked at it closer, they finished two points

107
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,839
out of third place in the Metropolitan Division as well,

108
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,079
behind the New Jersey Devils. They finished with a six

109
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,560
game winning streak that it was like they had to

110
00:06:01,639 --> 00:06:05,800
win every single game just to stay alive and without you,

111
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,439
to avoid being eliminated. And they only got eliminated on

112
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,240
an off day when Montreal finally took care of business

113
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,480
and clinched the eighth and final playoff spot in the East.

114
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,759
That's incredible, and I don't think enough people are really

115
00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:26,480
truly understanding how incredible that point swing was for the

116
00:06:26,519 --> 00:06:30,319
Blue Jackets when you juxtapose it with what they lost

117
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,480
in the offseason, and not just what they lost from talent.

118
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,759
Johnny Gudreau is an incredibly popular figure throughout the locker

119
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,279
room as well. Having any of your teammates die is

120
00:06:41,319 --> 00:06:44,839
going to affect you immensely, but especially a guy that

121
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:50,160
everybody loved, Johnny. And so they're playing through grief, especially

122
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,439
to start the season, and they somehow figure out a

123
00:06:53,439 --> 00:06:58,279
way as the season's going along to stay competitive for

124
00:06:58,439 --> 00:07:02,720
a playoff spot. Basically, eighty one out of eighty two games,

125
00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:05,600
they weren't eliminated until they had one game left in

126
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:09,399
the schedule. That's incredible and so when you look at

127
00:07:09,439 --> 00:07:13,800
that and you put it into that context, it's hard

128
00:07:13,879 --> 00:07:16,199
not to look at this team and say you're there now,

129
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,439
like you're there at least at the precipice of making

130
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,040
the playoffs. Just try and keep people healthy. The other

131
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,240
thing is Sean Monahan had a fantastic season last year.

132
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,879
That was one of Johnny Gudrou's best friends. He signed

133
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,600
here to play with Johnny Gudreau on July first, twenty

134
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,800
twenty four, and now a couple of months later he

135
00:07:33,839 --> 00:07:36,120
loses his best friend. So he's come in to a

136
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,839
new team, new city, new organization, k neew everything, doesn't

137
00:07:39,879 --> 00:07:43,439
really know a ton of people and just perfectly fits

138
00:07:43,519 --> 00:07:47,040
right in here like immediately. Now, you could make the

139
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:50,240
argument he was a pointing game player last year when

140
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,199
he was healthy, he was a point a game player.

141
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:54,759
I think he had the highest point per game rate

142
00:07:55,079 --> 00:07:58,279
of his entire career. Where a new team, new city,

143
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,160
knew everything, and without Johnny Gudroux. So you can make

144
00:08:02,199 --> 00:08:05,120
an argument that if he hasn't, he doesn't missed two months.

145
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,279
He missed two months with a wrist injury from January

146
00:08:08,399 --> 00:08:12,240
to almost through. It was into March, like late March

147
00:08:12,279 --> 00:08:14,920
when he came back. If they have him from even

148
00:08:15,079 --> 00:08:18,560
one more week or two more weeks, they're probably a

149
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,120
playoff team. Last year we're talking about we're probably talking

150
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,560
about a team that makes the playoffs, eliminates the Canadians

151
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,199
and or maybe finishes third in the metro. But it's

152
00:08:30,279 --> 00:08:37,080
that close. So you look at this offseason and they

153
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,519
wanted to get better. They wanted to address some what

154
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,559
they felt were maybe some not shortcomings, for instance, on

155
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,679
their in their top four defensive pairing or top two

156
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,519
defensive pairings, top four defenseman. They were hoping to find

157
00:08:50,519 --> 00:08:53,960
a right handed version of Ivan Prograffs right like they

158
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,200
would have loved it if they could have signed Aaron

159
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,720
eck Bladd, if Aaron eck Bladd would have hit the market.

160
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,720
They were in the trade discussions and we're a finalist

161
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:07,120
for no adoptson a right handed top four guy, offensive

162
00:09:07,159 --> 00:09:10,759
minded type of guy they really want adoptson. Price ended

163
00:09:10,799 --> 00:09:13,679
up being too high and he goes to Montreal. So

164
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,759
they didn't get their right handed version. So what they

165
00:09:15,799 --> 00:09:18,879
ended up having to do was circle back with guys

166
00:09:18,919 --> 00:09:21,679
they already had, and they ended up re signing Dante

167
00:09:21,759 --> 00:09:26,039
Fabreau and They also resigned provaroff at a very high number,

168
00:09:26,519 --> 00:09:30,080
But then it's a high number right now, and we'll

169
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,279
talk about that later, I'm sure, but basically, in a

170
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,519
couple of years that number is not gonna look that bad.

171
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,120
But they've stayed the same largely, they are the same team.

172
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,600
They've lost a few kind of key veteran guys who

173
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,519
were like in the locker room, Sean Corally, James Van Riemsdyke,

174
00:09:46,039 --> 00:09:48,480
Justin dan Forth, those kind of guys. They've lost those,

175
00:09:49,159 --> 00:09:52,480
but those were all They were more depth players the

176
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,320
core of their team, including Adam Fantilly who had thirty

177
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,759
one goals last year, and Caill mar Chenko had thirty

178
00:09:58,759 --> 00:10:01,279
one goals last year. Those guys are all back. So

179
00:10:01,879 --> 00:10:03,440
on the one hand, it's like they didn't get a

180
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,559
ton done in the offseason as far as adding anything,

181
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,279
but they didn't get worse either, So I feel like

182
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,120
they're poised to make a playoff run this year if

183
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,120
you look at it from those that context.

184
00:10:16,639 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, we got to unpack some of those players

185
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,799
that you're talking about, because Sean Monahan was the first

186
00:10:21,879 --> 00:10:25,159
on my list, and you talk about you talk about

187
00:10:25,159 --> 00:10:27,720
the streaks that he went on and the good times

188
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,960
that he had. He went over a point per game

189
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,000
for the second time in his career, the other time

190
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:36,480
being twenty eighteen nineteen. That risk injury you said, really

191
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,960
messed him up, but he still had the second best

192
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,519
goals above replacement on the team when you add it

193
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,679
up with the evolving Hockey Advanced stats at the end

194
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,440
of the year, which is amazing. That's a cumulative stat

195
00:10:46,519 --> 00:10:48,759
and he missed it. He only played fifty four games.

196
00:10:48,759 --> 00:10:51,879
This guy, We're gonna be talking about some young sinners

197
00:10:51,919 --> 00:10:54,639
who we're coming for his gig as this show goes along,

198
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,000
and I don't want to get into those guys yet. Well,

199
00:10:57,039 --> 00:11:00,600
let's stick with Monahn first. Can he remain the center

200
00:11:00,639 --> 00:11:02,559
option for this team for a year or two and

201
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,879
repeat this amazing run that he had last year.

202
00:11:06,159 --> 00:11:09,039
Speaker 2: I think that's the best one of the biggest key

203
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,600
questions about this team, right if he can and he

204
00:11:12,639 --> 00:11:14,960
can stay healthy. I think he got to like the

205
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,120
Blue Jackets chances of competing for a playoff spot in

206
00:11:19,159 --> 00:11:22,919
the Metropolitan Division and the Eastern Conference. And I know

207
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,279
you referenced the power play earlier and the thing that

208
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,120
was different this year or not this year, but in

209
00:11:29,159 --> 00:11:31,960
twenty five or twenty four to twenty five. The thing

210
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,759
that was different for them because they traditionally have a

211
00:11:34,799 --> 00:11:37,080
bad power play. Let's just say it. They've had bad

212
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,960
power play for five, six, seven years in a row.

213
00:11:40,039 --> 00:11:43,720
Now it hasn't gotten better. So overall the numbers didn't

214
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,679
improve that much. But if you break it down into

215
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,639
like splits, one of the splits could be with Sean

216
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:55,240
Monahan healthy and without Sean Monaghan when he's hurt, because

217
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,639
with him, they were a top ten power play. If

218
00:11:58,639 --> 00:12:00,440
you look at all the games he play and he

219
00:12:00,519 --> 00:12:03,720
was the bumper guy on the top unit, they were

220
00:12:03,759 --> 00:12:06,120
like a top ten power play. They were like lethal,

221
00:12:06,159 --> 00:12:08,559
they were very dangerous. And then he gets dirt and

222
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,120
he's out for two months and they literally dropped to

223
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,039
thirtieth or thirty first out of thirty two teams in

224
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,399
the time that he was out. So that's how key

225
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,960
he is. Whenever you run that one three one, and

226
00:12:21,039 --> 00:12:23,600
every team runs a version of the one three one. Now,

227
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,240
if you don't have that bumper guy in the middle,

228
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,559
that is such a key, critical, crucial position. Bradon point

229
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,480
plays it for Tampa Bay Lightning right like it used

230
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,399
to be Burgeron would play it for Boston, and these

231
00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:40,759
guys are elite guys at those positions. There's only a

232
00:12:40,799 --> 00:12:43,919
certain like a finite number of those in the NHL.

233
00:12:44,399 --> 00:12:47,399
Everybody has a guy who plays it, not everybody has

234
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,159
a guy who like thrives at it. And what I

235
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,679
didn't realize about Sean Monaghan until he came here is

236
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,799
that he's one of the guys who thrives at it.

237
00:12:55,919 --> 00:13:00,159
He is an elite one three to one bumper guy

238
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,440
that supports all his teammates and really he's like the

239
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,320
spark plug of the entire thing. So when he's in there,

240
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,120
their power plays a lot better and it really helped

241
00:13:09,159 --> 00:13:11,320
them score some goals on the power play when he

242
00:13:11,399 --> 00:13:14,559
was healthy. So it's going to be keeping him healthy,

243
00:13:14,639 --> 00:13:16,919
right And you look at other parts of his game.

244
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,360
He wins a lot of face offs. He's their top

245
00:13:19,399 --> 00:13:22,720
face off option. And then Boone Jenner's like right in

246
00:13:22,759 --> 00:13:24,679
there as well. Boone can win a lot of faceoffs.

247
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,679
But I think ideally they'd like to keep Boone on

248
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,919
the wing if possible, just because you can free him

249
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,399
up as a four checker and he's pretty dynamic in

250
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:34,200
that area.

251
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 5: As a top six guy our top nine.

252
00:13:37,159 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 2: But Manihan also, like I said I mentioned Marchenko earlier,

253
00:13:40,639 --> 00:13:46,399
Marchenko had a breakout season. Monahan was a huge impact

254
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:51,240
on Marchenko and Dmitri Verankov, who they also resigned. Basically,

255
00:13:52,279 --> 00:13:54,799
even though there was like a little bit of a

256
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:59,559
language thing there. Marchenko speaks very he speaks English just fine,

257
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,679
but understands more English than he speaks. But then having

258
00:14:03,919 --> 00:14:06,519
Marchenko on that same line, he was able to communicate

259
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,399
with him. But either way they would go back to

260
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,679
the bench and Sean Monahan would just basically get right

261
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,080
into both of them and be like, look, you guys

262
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:21,279
are big, strong forwards. We need you guys to really

263
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,519
win battles and get that puck for us back and

264
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,159
I'll do my part as well. But if we do that,

265
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,759
we'll dominate possession. And then with all the skill that

266
00:14:30,799 --> 00:14:34,320
you two have and that Monahan has, we're gonna score goals.

267
00:14:34,639 --> 00:14:36,519
And that is that they became. If you look at

268
00:14:36,519 --> 00:14:40,000
the numbers of those three in particular as a first line,

269
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,000
when they were healthy and they were going, they were

270
00:14:43,039 --> 00:14:45,240
one of the best first lines in the NHL. They

271
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,799
can get talked about a lot, but they from a

272
00:14:47,879 --> 00:14:51,919
production standpoint, they were one of the best, most dangerous

273
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,399
lines in the NHL. So those guys are all coming

274
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,159
back and there's no change there. So if they can

275
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,360
get more a little more out of her cough and

276
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,799
get the same or more out of Marchenko with Monahan

277
00:15:05,919 --> 00:15:08,960
prodding both of them. As a veteran, I mean, that's

278
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,279
a pretty dangerous first line right there. And I don't

279
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:12,799
see Monahan slipping much.

280
00:15:14,559 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 3: So you mentioned Marchenko, Let's talk about him. Now, we'll

281
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,320
go one by one with these guys. So Marchenko, he

282
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,559
had a breakout season for sure. He had the thirty

283
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,840
goal mark and more than doubled his assist output seventy

284
00:15:25,879 --> 00:15:29,120
seven point pace, which is pretty solid. His bash, block

285
00:15:29,159 --> 00:15:32,440
shots and hits were just under four at three point eight,

286
00:15:32,639 --> 00:15:35,080
ranking him two hundred and sixty eighth, which is something

287
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,519
we like to track. I remember several years ago I

288
00:15:37,559 --> 00:15:39,960
was suggesting on this podcast that Marchenko could be a

289
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,320
top liner, and I got a lot of pushback to that.

290
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,159
I got a lot of middle six at best, most

291
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,639
likely bottom line bottom sixer. And it's nice to see

292
00:15:48,679 --> 00:15:51,360
that he had a phenomenal season and he actually had

293
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,000
the second most time on ice behind Monahan. And also

294
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,720
the second highest point pace. So I don't think you

295
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,000
can argue that he's a legit top liner. And as

296
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,320
you referenced, they had some credible play driving numbers. So

297
00:16:02,559 --> 00:16:04,879
do you think the top line Marchenko is here to stay?

298
00:16:04,919 --> 00:16:07,080
Brian and can he be a point per game player

299
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,240
push up even more into the points?

300
00:16:10,279 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 2: Yeah? He should. I know that's his goal. And he

301
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,039
has no lack of self confidence. I remember I talked

302
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,600
to him at points last year and he basically said

303
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,000
that he looks at guys like when he was back

304
00:16:22,039 --> 00:16:24,200
in Russia and he was they hadn't come over yet

305
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,159
and he was playing the KHL. He looked at guys

306
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,240
like Koutrav and all these other guys and said, I

307
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,240
think I can do that over there. I can be

308
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,799
that kind of player. And it hasn't manifested yet. But

309
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,879
if you look at Kutra's first couple of years, he

310
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,600
wasn't Koutrov yet at that point either. It takes a

311
00:16:39,639 --> 00:16:42,080
little while to get used to the league and that

312
00:16:42,159 --> 00:16:45,039
kind of thing. If you look at Marchenko's numbers, though,

313
00:16:45,159 --> 00:16:47,440
the guy's been a goal scorer ever since he came

314
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,559
into the league, and he's only been here for three

315
00:16:49,679 --> 00:16:53,480
years or three or almost four years the assists. I

316
00:16:53,519 --> 00:16:55,759
had a feeling they were going to come along eventually,

317
00:16:55,799 --> 00:16:58,840
and they did last year. I think he can be

318
00:16:58,919 --> 00:17:02,799
a Put it this way, like when Monahan came in

319
00:17:02,879 --> 00:17:06,039
and signed and he finally got with the team. Obviously

320
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,640
no Johnny Gudroaux around. It was supposed to be Gudrow,

321
00:17:09,519 --> 00:17:14,119
Monahan and probably Marchenko or Johnson that was originally going

322
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,720
to be the top line I think, or maybe Jenner

323
00:17:16,799 --> 00:17:21,359
up there as well, but no Gudrow. So Monahan's coming

324
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,240
in and he's just learning about all these guys on

325
00:17:23,279 --> 00:17:25,400
his own, and like within a week or two he

326
00:17:25,559 --> 00:17:29,240
was like, I had no idea how good girl Marchenko is.

327
00:17:29,559 --> 00:17:32,559
And it's something that just as soon as you see it,

328
00:17:32,599 --> 00:17:36,279
you're like, oh wow, that dude is incredibly talented. So

329
00:17:36,319 --> 00:17:40,240
he's got a great shot, he's got size. The one

330
00:17:40,279 --> 00:17:42,880
thing that he was lacking, and I referenced it earlier,

331
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,440
was in marchang I'm sorry Monahan brought it out of him.

332
00:17:46,599 --> 00:17:49,599
Was a little more fire, Right, Let's get a little

333
00:17:49,599 --> 00:17:51,920
more fire to get the puck back. So if you

334
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,920
lose it, go hound it, go get it back. You're

335
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,119
big enough to do that you can knock some people

336
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,000
off pucks, you can be a force in the office

337
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:04,000
of zon as a fourth checker. Do that, and he did,

338
00:18:04,039 --> 00:18:06,720
to his credit and to Monahan for getting into him,

339
00:18:07,039 --> 00:18:09,519
and it became a whole new player. He is like

340
00:18:09,599 --> 00:18:11,880
a lot of his skill set that we already knew

341
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,079
just from watching him on an everyday basis. It was there,

342
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,799
but it wasn't consistent, and it became a lot more

343
00:18:17,799 --> 00:18:21,039
consistent last year. It was there more consistently, and I

344
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,279
expect that to grow even more as we go forward.

345
00:18:24,319 --> 00:18:26,559
A guys only in his mid twenties right now, like

346
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,160
he's not even entering in his prime like right now,

347
00:18:30,799 --> 00:18:35,119
and I think he's poised for another potential breakout. Last

348
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,279
year was a big breakout. I think there's even more

349
00:18:37,319 --> 00:18:38,279
in there this year.

350
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 3: That's definitely what we like to hear. So that's awesome.

351
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,440
I'm looking forward to second breakout Marchenko. Let's talk about

352
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,440
the another guy, Kent Johnson. So Johnson, he was definitely

353
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,119
another breakout for the Blue Jackets. He went from forty

354
00:18:54,319 --> 00:18:57,160
to thirty to a sixty nine point pace in his

355
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,559
first three seasons. He missed a bunch time last year,

356
00:19:00,039 --> 00:19:02,039
but his time on ice. Average time on ice rose

357
00:19:02,079 --> 00:19:05,039
this year up to seventeen almost seventeen and a half,

358
00:19:05,079 --> 00:19:08,279
twenty four goals, thirty three assists, fifteen power play points

359
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,400
after having zero last year. He had eleven in his

360
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,680
first season. That's pretty great. He doesn't bash a whole lot.

361
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,960
I think a lot of fantasy gms know that about him,

362
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,920
So you're not getting a whole lot of block shots

363
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,079
and hits. He has just two point two eight of those,

364
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,599
ranking him in the six hundreds, which means that if

365
00:19:24,599 --> 00:19:27,440
he's not scoring, he's not usually helping a whole lot.

366
00:19:27,519 --> 00:19:29,400
But he was doing a lot of scoring, so that

367
00:19:29,519 --> 00:19:31,960
was really hopeful last year. So, Brian, do you think

368
00:19:32,079 --> 00:19:34,960
Ken Johnson can get over a seventy point pace next season?

369
00:19:35,079 --> 00:19:37,880
Is there some regression coming? He did shoot almost twenty percent,

370
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,119
so there may be some regression coming.

371
00:19:41,319 --> 00:19:43,839
Speaker 2: He shot twenty percent, But he's got a great shot,

372
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,240
and also he is He's another guy we I always

373
00:19:48,319 --> 00:19:52,359
call Columbus Invisible Land because we just get basically over

374
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,799
discounted over here quite a bit by a lot of

375
00:19:54,839 --> 00:19:57,720
people across the league. Team hasn't been very good till

376
00:19:57,799 --> 00:20:01,480
last year, and that's understandable. The side effect of that,

377
00:20:01,759 --> 00:20:04,519
or the product of that, I should say, is that

378
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,039
a lot of people don't realize how good the players

379
00:20:07,079 --> 00:20:10,519
are here sometimes, and like James Van Reims, like good idea,

380
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,759
a good example. He signs late last year. He comes in,

381
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,799
he starts. First of all, he didn't know hardly and

382
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,880
he knew a few people, but not enough to really

383
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,720
hang out. And the people he started hanging out with

384
00:20:21,839 --> 00:20:25,839
immediately who really took him in were all the young guys,

385
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:30,960
all the young Canadian guys, Kent Johnson, Cole Sillinger, Adam Fantilly. Like,

386
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,079
these guys are taking him out to dinner like every night,

387
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,160
basically picking up because they watched him in his prime

388
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,359
when he was like with the maple Leafs and Flyers

389
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:40,960
and all those guys, and they're asking about, oh, what

390
00:20:41,079 --> 00:20:42,440
was it like to play with this guy and that

391
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,480
guy and whatever. So they become close. So then they

392
00:20:45,559 --> 00:20:47,599
get on the ice and they start practicing and they

393
00:20:47,599 --> 00:20:51,480
start doing stuff, and James Van Reims basically says, comes

394
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,000
over and tells a couple of people like, how come

395
00:20:55,039 --> 00:20:57,759
people aren't talking more about Kent Johnson. This dude's gonna

396
00:20:57,759 --> 00:21:00,680
score like eighty or ninety points. This year, he's amazing,

397
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,079
and it's because he didn't have that great of a

398
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,119
season the year before. I mean, that's why he ended

399
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:06,759
up with the contract that he got. It was a

400
00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:09,599
prove it contract because he struggled a little bit in

401
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,680
that in his second full year or whatever it was,

402
00:21:11,799 --> 00:21:14,799
or third or whatever with the ELC. But it was

403
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:19,640
twenty three twenty four. Kent dedicated himself in the previous

404
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,519
so last summer to getting a little bigger, a little stronger,

405
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,440
and he also got with a skating more of a

406
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,359
power skating coach and a trainer who really added some

407
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,359
speed into his game. I think the biggest thing that

408
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,240
he was missing was some explosiveness. Always had the hot hands,

409
00:21:34,279 --> 00:21:38,799
had great eyes, great vision, passing, just play making ability,

410
00:21:38,839 --> 00:21:41,359
shot all that he had, all that stuff, he just

411
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,079
seemed like he got swallowed up a lot on the

412
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,920
ice skating. And last year he comes in and it

413
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,519
was a night and day like you saw him get nice. Oh,

414
00:21:50,559 --> 00:21:53,160
the guy can actually get free now, like he's got

415
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,240
his own. And when this guy gets free, you're in

416
00:21:56,319 --> 00:21:59,599
big trouble. If he gets in your defensive zone and

417
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,160
he's hitting, attacking, like the pockets that aren't defended, you're

418
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,279
in massive trouble. It's probably going into the net. That's

419
00:22:06,319 --> 00:22:09,240
how good he is. I will say this, And you

420
00:22:09,279 --> 00:22:11,880
have to look at his season also last year, he

421
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,000
had a great preseason. His preseason was incredibles, maybe one

422
00:22:15,039 --> 00:22:17,519
of the best preseasons I've ever seen. And I'm like,

423
00:22:18,079 --> 00:22:20,440
this dude is gonna have eighty or ninety points this year.

424
00:22:20,799 --> 00:22:22,519
And then he gets like into the third game, and

425
00:22:22,519 --> 00:22:24,920
they start off the regular season pretty well. First couple

426
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,400
of games. You're like, Oh, he's carrying it over. And

427
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,519
then like in game three, he has a freak collision

428
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,279
with somebody on the team, might have been I can't

429
00:22:33,279 --> 00:22:35,119
remember which one it was, but it's one of his

430
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:40,240
own teammates, falls backwards and screws up his shoulder again

431
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,880
like in the third game, and you're like, oh, here

432
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,119
we go. Because he ended the previous season with a

433
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,759
shoulder injury that required surgery has twenty three, twenty four,

434
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,240
So now you're starting this next one and you're like,

435
00:22:51,279 --> 00:22:53,079
oh my god, if he has to have surgery again,

436
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,960
this is not good. He was able to rehab this

437
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,079
one and he came back after I think he missed

438
00:22:58,079 --> 00:23:02,079
fourteen games so those numbers you mentioned that he had,

439
00:23:03,279 --> 00:23:05,119
you may want to look at his points per game

440
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,759
and try and figure out the difference. If he had

441
00:23:07,759 --> 00:23:11,200
played those fourteen games, he's gonna have even higher numbers

442
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,160
than what he had it in those So if he again,

443
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,920
if he can stay healthy, it's a big kind of

444
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,039
theme with the Blue Jackets to stay healthy. But it's

445
00:23:19,079 --> 00:23:22,319
funny people around here, like Blue Jackets fans, they really

446
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,240
wanted Marner to hit the open market and then have

447
00:23:25,319 --> 00:23:26,960
the Jackets because we have a ton of they have

448
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,119
a ton of cap space here the Jackets do, and

449
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,000
they wanted the Jackets to make a massive run at

450
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,440
Mitch Marner just throw them so much money has to

451
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,000
think about it or whatever. And I kept saying that

452
00:23:38,039 --> 00:23:41,720
all along. I'm like, I'll say it right now. I

453
00:23:41,759 --> 00:23:46,319
think they have Mitch Marner in development right now. Like

454
00:23:46,519 --> 00:23:49,000
he's not Mitch Marner right now, Like he's not one

455
00:23:49,079 --> 00:23:51,440
hundred point player yet. Nobody is until they get a

456
00:23:51,519 --> 00:23:54,480
hundred points. But if you look at Ken Johnson and

457
00:23:54,519 --> 00:23:58,000
you look at Mitch Marner, they are exactly the same size.

458
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,720
They're six foot point eighty, but they're Marner was drafted

459
00:24:01,759 --> 00:24:06,519
fourth overall Johnson was fifth overall. Marner likes to score goals,

460
00:24:06,519 --> 00:24:08,559
but he's more of a playmaker as well, and he

461
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,880
likes to play in his off hand on the wing.

462
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,599
Ken Johnson can score goals as a playmaker, likes to

463
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,200
play on the off side on the wing. He likes

464
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,160
to play on the right wing with the left hand shot,

465
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,200
kind of like Patrick Kaynes. And you look at some

466
00:24:22,279 --> 00:24:23,960
of the goals he scored and some of the things

467
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,240
he's set up. He has a very good chance of

468
00:24:27,279 --> 00:24:31,160
being this team's Mitch Marner. And that's I don't say

469
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,920
that lightly because I know how good Marner is. But

470
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,839
Marner's twenty seven years old and he's twenty seven to

471
00:24:36,839 --> 00:24:40,519
twenty eight, and Ken Johnson's like twenty two. So it's

472
00:24:40,559 --> 00:24:44,599
like a young, developing Marner type. And if they can

473
00:24:45,279 --> 00:24:47,640
he's just like Marchenko. I think he had a big

474
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,559
breakout last year. I think there's more in there as well.

475
00:24:50,839 --> 00:24:51,920
For Ken Johnson.

476
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,799
Speaker 4: We're not getting Mitch Marner. We have Mitch Marner and

477
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:56,480
home kids.

478
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 3: That makes sense, all.

479
00:24:58,319 --> 00:25:00,839
Speaker 4: Right, dude, we got to hit a couple of these pros.

480
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,839
Boone Jenner, you've already mentioned him. Another guy whose season

481
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,720
was wrecked by injury, his shoulder injury in the preseason

482
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,799
the gaben surgery. Came back seven assists in his first

483
00:25:10,799 --> 00:25:14,039
four games. He always shoots and hits. He is a

484
00:25:14,079 --> 00:25:16,759
great leader for the team. Still only thirty three seems

485
00:25:16,799 --> 00:25:18,400
like he had to be older. I've long been a

486
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,799
fan of this guy's physicality and his production. Is he

487
00:25:22,839 --> 00:25:24,519
going to be able to come back for big minutes

488
00:25:24,519 --> 00:25:26,680
in production and is he going to be a top

489
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,680
six winger for the team, Brian, I.

490
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 2: Have no doubt with Boone that he'll be physically ready.

491
00:25:32,079 --> 00:25:34,960
Like this guy puts in all the work that you

492
00:25:35,039 --> 00:25:39,119
need to do. There's no concerns at all about him

493
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,680
not putting in work and getting ready and getting his

494
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,759
body ready and everything. The problem is he has had

495
00:25:44,839 --> 00:25:47,039
so many Some of them are fluke injuries, some of

496
00:25:47,079 --> 00:25:49,440
them are just like hockey injuries. But he's had a

497
00:25:49,599 --> 00:25:51,799
lot of injuries the last few years that have really

498
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,319
limited him. You go back even three years, right, I

499
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,599
go back to his year thirty early age thirty season.

500
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,440
I think he would have had thirty goals that season,

501
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,720
but he ends up with an injury that cuts his

502
00:26:03,759 --> 00:26:05,920
season short. Like he's had a couple of seasons in

503
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,839
the past few where he was on pace to score

504
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:13,240
thirty goals and injuries cut it short. And so then

505
00:26:13,319 --> 00:26:16,400
last year he comes in and was in a practice.

506
00:26:16,559 --> 00:26:19,359
It was it was the last practice before the regular

507
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,920
season started, really and they're doing like a small area

508
00:26:24,039 --> 00:26:27,519
game and he gets his pins taken out, just going

509
00:26:27,559 --> 00:26:30,839
for a puck and slides awkwardly into the boards and

510
00:26:30,839 --> 00:26:32,519
you heard the thump, and I was like, oh boy,

511
00:26:32,559 --> 00:26:34,680
this isn't good. And he got up and left the

512
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,079
ice immediately, and it was like he tores Labraham. So

513
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,519
he had to have shoulder surgery and he missed all

514
00:26:40,559 --> 00:26:44,279
the way up until March first basically, or it was

515
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,240
late February, but that's almost all of the seasons. Like

516
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,480
it was a miracle. It felt like a miracle he

517
00:26:50,519 --> 00:26:53,200
could even come back and do what he ended up

518
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,880
doing last season. But for the most part, they did,

519
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,000
like you mentioned all those goals they scored, they set

520
00:26:59,039 --> 00:27:02,000
a franchise record goals. They didn't even have Boone Jenner

521
00:27:02,079 --> 00:27:04,759
for most of the season when they're top six, which

522
00:27:04,799 --> 00:27:09,480
is incredible. That's another one. So no line A, no Gadrow,

523
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:14,119
no Boone Jenner, Ken Johnson misses the first month, Dmitri

524
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,960
Verankov misses the first month he had a shoulder injury

525
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:21,519
as well. Those are four like massive offensive producing players

526
00:27:21,519 --> 00:27:24,799
for this team, and they still were rolling with goals,

527
00:27:25,079 --> 00:27:28,480
Like they were still scoring enough goals. It gets back

528
00:27:28,519 --> 00:27:31,000
to what you're talking about with defense and goaltending for

529
00:27:31,039 --> 00:27:34,400
them this year as a team. But you're focusing more

530
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,400
on Jenner. Yeah, he's thirty three. That's crept up on

531
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,720
us a little bit there as far as the age goes.

532
00:27:40,759 --> 00:27:44,359
But he's in great shape and he just plays a

533
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,079
hard game. If you're coach in NHL, you have to

534
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,279
love this guy because he was just a He is

535
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,920
a relentless four checker, and he can win faceoffs, and

536
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,559
he plays around the net, so he is not afraid

537
00:27:56,599 --> 00:27:58,079
to play around there, and he cleans up a lot

538
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,920
of loose change. So I think if he's healthy for

539
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,119
a full year, I would pencil him in for at

540
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,119
least twenty goals, if not twenty five, which could help

541
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:08,079
this team quite a bit.

542
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 4: And the Blue Jackets have won the lottery. They got

543
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,640
Dan close a couple of times, and Adam Fantillier the

544
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,720
fruits of one of those times. He is on the

545
00:28:18,839 --> 00:28:22,160
rise in terms of overall but it's not to say

546
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,200
that this season didn't have some bumps. Specifically a thirty

547
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:29,240
two goal, twenty two assists, fifty four point campaign in

548
00:28:29,319 --> 00:28:32,759
eighty two games. That's amazing. That's some great stuff. Thirty

549
00:28:32,799 --> 00:28:36,119
two goals for a twenty year old. The advanced metrics

550
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,400
didn't like him quite so much in terms of the

551
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,920
impact on and off ice in the aforementioned end of

552
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,519
your win streak, though seven goals in the final six

553
00:28:45,559 --> 00:28:48,079
games from Adam Pantilly. He was simply on fire at

554
00:28:48,079 --> 00:28:50,359
the end of the year. He hits, he shoots, his

555
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,519
ice time is certainly not maxed out, still under seventeen

556
00:28:53,519 --> 00:28:56,319
and a half minutes. What do you see of Adam Fantillion?

557
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,319
What are you anticipating the next step to be?

558
00:29:00,039 --> 00:29:02,119
Speaker 2: You go back to his draft year and we talked

559
00:29:02,119 --> 00:29:06,039
about it extensively about how there was like there's like

560
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,799
five prospects who were thought to be like real impact

561
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,319
players in the future, and there was three in particular

562
00:29:11,799 --> 00:29:14,000
that we're gonna go one, two, three in some order,

563
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,400
and we all knew Bar was gonna go first. So

564
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,880
then it was a matter of whether Leo Carlson or

565
00:29:19,079 --> 00:29:22,359
Adam Fantilli was gonna go second, And from all the

566
00:29:22,359 --> 00:29:24,759
way up until about the day before the draft, everyone

567
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,000
just penciled Fantillion going second to the Ducks, and then

568
00:29:28,039 --> 00:29:30,480
the Jackets probably would have gotten either Carlson or Will

569
00:29:30,559 --> 00:29:33,799
Smith in many other drafts, Like if you take either

570
00:29:33,839 --> 00:29:36,240
one of those guys out, you put them in another draft,

571
00:29:36,519 --> 00:29:39,480
they're like the hands down number one overall pick. There

572
00:29:39,519 --> 00:29:42,440
are certain drafts out there where if Adam Fantilli wasn't

573
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,279
in that crowded group, he's a number one overall pick.

574
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,880
So when he fell to the Jackets at three, and

575
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,200
there's a really cool video here where they had a

576
00:29:52,319 --> 00:29:55,480
watch party for the draft and everything, and when he fell,

577
00:29:56,119 --> 00:29:58,359
Blue Jackets fans are there was all many of them

578
00:29:58,359 --> 00:30:00,720
at a bar and they're watching and and they just

579
00:30:01,039 --> 00:30:04,720
go nuts because they know they're getting Adam Fantili and

580
00:30:05,119 --> 00:30:08,160
they feel like Adam Fantilly is every bit the number

581
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,240
one overall pick that a lot of people are in

582
00:30:11,319 --> 00:30:15,400
most years. So he can and here's the thing, and

583
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,359
he fits the part from a his approach to the

584
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,799
game and his self confidence and everything. He feels like

585
00:30:21,799 --> 00:30:24,119
a he sounds like a number one overall pick. He's

586
00:30:24,119 --> 00:30:27,359
a guy who's really confident in his game. You're never

587
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,880
going to shake that guy's confidence in his game, which

588
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,319
I think is a huge asset.

589
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:32,559
Speaker 3: But like that.

590
00:30:32,519 --> 00:30:34,839
Speaker 2: First season, he missed the whole second half of the

591
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,119
year because he had a laceration on is a big

592
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,680
deep cut in his calf, kind of a freak injury.

593
00:30:41,079 --> 00:30:42,880
So I think he came in last year and he's like,

594
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,400
I just want to play all eighty two games and

595
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,880
get better, And that's exactly what he did. And you're right.

596
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,400
He turned it on at the end and scored like

597
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,960
seven git goals in the last ten games. He was

598
00:30:56,319 --> 00:30:58,960
amazing in those games. I thought it was a real

599
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,240
eye opening moment. There was one moment. There was one shift.

600
00:31:01,279 --> 00:31:04,519
There's a national television game is an afternoon game. I

601
00:31:04,559 --> 00:31:08,799
believe it was against the Capitals on a Saturday, and

602
00:31:09,599 --> 00:31:11,839
the kid's name is blanking on me. He was the

603
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,880
guy that the Capital's brought up. They he's a high

604
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:19,039
draft pick for them and they brought him in. Anyway,

605
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:23,319
this kid was playing Fantili basically runs him over in

606
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,680
his own defensive end on a very legal clean check,

607
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,319
just blasts him right in the slot, steals the puck,

608
00:31:30,799 --> 00:31:33,200
sends it the other way, rushes down to the other

609
00:31:33,279 --> 00:31:34,880
end of the ice, and scores a goal at the

610
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,559
other end of the ice. And I remember Ray Ferraro

611
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,480
was watching, He's that's like a career defining shift. Like

612
00:31:40,599 --> 00:31:43,759
right there, that's what you get from Adam Fantili. You

613
00:31:43,839 --> 00:31:48,039
get toughness, a physical play, a guy who's not afraid

614
00:31:48,079 --> 00:31:51,759
to mix it up, a little bit, incredible skater, and

615
00:31:51,839 --> 00:31:53,799
then you also throw in the fact he's got a

616
00:31:53,839 --> 00:31:56,640
good shot and he can make plays as well, pass

617
00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,559
the puck and create havoc around the net. This guy's yeah,

618
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,920
I think it's sky high potential. I really do. And

619
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,359
I've said that about Johnson and Martenko. This team is

620
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,599
loaded with young talent, and he is right near at

621
00:32:09,599 --> 00:32:11,440
the top with those other two guys.

622
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about one of the other Russians.

623
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,559
Dmitri of Ronkov. Already mentioned him a couple of times.

624
00:32:16,599 --> 00:32:19,640
He is was another surprising player this season. He got

625
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,079
three more minutes of time on ice and increase his

626
00:32:23,119 --> 00:32:25,839
points from thirty seven to fifty two. There were definitely

627
00:32:26,039 --> 00:32:29,359
streaks that he was going and really being very valuable

628
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,200
when he isn't scoring. He is providing some nice bash

629
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,279
three points seventy four per game, which is nice. Ranks

630
00:32:35,319 --> 00:32:37,559
him two hundred and eighty ninth. One issue is that

631
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,839
his defense isn't great. He's ranked just fourteenth percentile according

632
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,799
to Evolving Hockey, so that's not great. But his offense

633
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,319
is eighty six percentile. So, Brian, do you think Ronkov

634
00:32:47,359 --> 00:32:49,200
can increase his point totals or does he need to

635
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:50,680
focus more on his defensive game.

636
00:32:51,039 --> 00:32:52,839
Speaker 2: I think he can. I think you can do both.

637
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,359
But we're gonna find out. Like when they get to camp,

638
00:32:57,599 --> 00:32:59,759
we'll see on the first day if he's in, if

639
00:32:59,759 --> 00:33:03,200
he's about two hundred and twenty five pounds, maybe two

640
00:33:03,359 --> 00:33:06,400
thirty at the most, between two twenty and two thirty,

641
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,200
you're gonna see. You're gonna see a really big season

642
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,359
out of Dmitri Varankov if he can maintain that weight

643
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,839
and everything. His problem is it creedy. We're just gonna

644
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,880
say what it is. Like his weight creeps up over

645
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,039
the season sometimes and if he gets up in the

646
00:33:22,039 --> 00:33:24,720
two forty range, two forty five something like that.

647
00:33:24,759 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 3: He's a big dude.

648
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 2: He's six y five, almost sixty six. He's massive, Like

649
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,400
when he put him on skates and you're standing next

650
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,880
to him, you're like, oh my god, this guy is huge.

651
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,319
That's the first thing everyone says. Like when Dean Everson

652
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,799
first saw him, he's like, who is that? Who's that guy?

653
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,640
When it was like d Maitri Varankov. But he doesn't

654
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,720
get a chance to play like a guy who's six'

655
00:33:45,799 --> 00:33:49,359
five two forty or like a big power forward because

656
00:33:49,599 --> 00:33:53,319
when he's at those increased weights and it's affecting his

657
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,200
cardio and everything else as far as beyond stay in the,

658
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,720
ice he's just not able to keep up enough in

659
00:33:59,759 --> 00:34:02,200
stay ahead of the game enough to see the hit

660
00:34:02,319 --> 00:34:04,440
and just go Do he's, behind just a little bit,

661
00:34:04,519 --> 00:34:07,440
behind a few steps, behind and then he's not able

662
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,360
to really throw his weight around and smash people and

663
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,119
stuff like. THAT i think if he's at two twenty

664
00:34:13,199 --> 00:34:16,039
five two two twenty two twenty five and he's six'

665
00:34:16,199 --> 00:34:19,199
five and he's, muscled out you're gonna see a guy

666
00:34:19,199 --> 00:34:22,440
who has, More snarl like he's got some snarl, In

667
00:34:22,519 --> 00:34:24,760
him like. He's not he's got a lot, of skill

668
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,760
he loves to play with skill and all that kind.

669
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,079
Of stuff but that guy will mix it up if.

670
00:34:29,079 --> 00:34:31,239
You look if when you watch when we watched him In,

671
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,719
the kh'll he mixed it up quite. A bit he

672
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,320
got into some fights and he would throw his weight

673
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,760
around and then have to defend himself and stuff. Like

674
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,440
that we haven't seen that much here because he really

675
00:34:41,519 --> 00:34:45,480
hasn't been in positions to be like a true, body

676
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,760
banging power forward type. Of guy if he comes in,

677
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,480
BETTER shape i. Think that and he's on a prove. It,

678
00:34:52,519 --> 00:34:55,000
contract now he did get a. Nice raise he's at

679
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:59,280
four point one two five million, per year but it's

680
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,239
more of a prove. It contract it's only, two years

681
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:06,199
so like he'll HAVE one rfa year left and at

682
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,760
that point you're looking at your long. Term contract so

683
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,800
if you want to have some really good numbers and

684
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:15,400
everything to go take into, those negotiations it's time to

685
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,960
work on the body a little bit. At MORE and

686
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,840
i think that. He will so that's. The caveat if

687
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,280
he comes in pretty, good condition he could increase his

688
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,400
POINTS and i do think his defense will get better.

689
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,119
As Well, all.

690
00:35:29,079 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 4: Right we're gonna do a real quick hit on three more.

691
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,159
Depth forwards we can't cover them all, in Depth but

692
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,400
i'm going to ask you to rank him in terms

693
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:41,199
of their production, next year You, Goor Chinnikov, Cole cyllinger

694
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,800
Luca Del bell blues who you go? Best There brian.

695
00:35:45,599 --> 00:35:49,599
Speaker 2: Nikoff just yesterday came out through his agent and basically

696
00:35:49,599 --> 00:35:53,159
said he wants to, Be traded so he didn't really

697
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,119
He and everson had a little bit of it falling out,

698
00:35:57,159 --> 00:36:00,000
per se but basically he was scratched after a return life,

699
00:36:00,039 --> 00:36:02,039
last YEAR and i think he just was looking for

700
00:36:02,119 --> 00:36:05,079
a start. Over point but whether they can actually find

701
00:36:05,119 --> 00:36:08,039
a Trade That don WALDEL the gm will sign off

702
00:36:08,079 --> 00:36:10,000
on that's going to be remain to. Be seen so if,

703
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,679
HE'S here i would pick him out of. Those three

704
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,400
as far as just sheer pure, talent goes he's got

705
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,559
a risk shot that approaches ninety eight miles, an hour which,

706
00:36:20,599 --> 00:36:23,719
is incredible and his one timer's well over, one hundred

707
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,800
so like he can really shoot. The puck but as

708
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,480
far As The blue, JACKETS go i think you're Looking

709
00:36:30,519 --> 00:36:32,960
At cole, Cylinger right i'd put him. Up there because

710
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,880
of the trade Request, For chinnikov I'd Go. Cole cylinger

711
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:41,480
the Only thing cole has left to. REALLY master i

712
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,559
guess AT the nhl level is scoring more goals and

713
00:36:45,599 --> 00:36:47,760
he has to figure. It out like he got drafted

714
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,039
twelfth overall and the biggest reason was he had a

715
00:36:51,039 --> 00:36:54,440
great shot and he was just beating goalies left and right.

716
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,360
And junior but he comes up TO the nhl and

717
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,800
it's just not working at some point for. WHATEVER reason

718
00:37:00,039 --> 00:37:01,880
i don't know if he's still got a, great shot

719
00:37:02,079 --> 00:37:04,280
but he's got to either hone it in and not

720
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,920
miss the net so much or he has shown some

721
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,280
a lot of comparisons to like A Young. Boone jenner

722
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,239
he plays a Lot. Like boone he's Built, like boone

723
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,039
scores around. The net if you look at the little

724
00:37:17,039 --> 00:37:20,639
play by play charts where It's Goal, boone jenner most

725
00:37:20,679 --> 00:37:23,320
often it's like from two feet or, three feet like

726
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,280
he's right there on. THE doorstep I think cole can

727
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,719
be that kind of guy if he just makes his mind.

728
00:37:28,599 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 3: Up to be.

729
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 2: That GUY so i think he's got. Some ceiling and

730
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,119
then the Who's the, i'm sorry who's the? Third one?

731
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:35,840
He said luca Del.

732
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 4: Bell, blues oh.

733
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 2: You, KNOW what I. Like luca he played really well

734
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,960
in fifteen games. LAST year i think he can stick at.

735
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,039
Center too it's just a matter. Of depth they Brought In,

736
00:37:45,159 --> 00:37:48,480
charlie coyle who's. A veteran he's gonna play a third

737
00:37:48,519 --> 00:37:51,800
line and then they Also Signed eastach lundstrom to be

738
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,760
the fourth. Line center so if They want luca to stay,

739
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,159
at center there's really not a carved out spot for him.

740
00:37:58,199 --> 00:38:00,679
Right NOW but i do like, his talent like. His

741
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,440
size he's got a really good shot. And done he's

742
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:07,199
a confident. Kid too, but Yeah so i'd rank him just. Talent, Wise,

743
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:08,599
Chinnikov Cylinger.

744
00:38:09,039 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 4: Dell bell, all right let's go to the blue line

745
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,400
and talk about the star defenseman of, This Team. ZACH

746
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,880
warensky i, Admit SOMEHOW brian i lost the faith Briefly

747
00:38:20,039 --> 00:38:23,800
In zak wwarinsky that. Injury year i'm. AN idiot i

748
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,760
take it. All Back zak warnsky is now your reigning

749
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,119
minutes champ IN the nhl twenty one hundred and sixty.

750
00:38:30,119 --> 00:38:32,920
Six total that's more than one hundred more than Second place.

751
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,880
Keal mccarr, my lord this was his year he passed

752
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,119
point per game for the. First time he's had a

753
00:38:39,159 --> 00:38:42,679
major climb late in. His twenties still listed as. Twenty seven,

754
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,400
last year he Was the norris, runner up and if

755
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,480
he lived in a moment that did Not have cale

756
00:38:47,519 --> 00:38:50,119
mccarr in, his prime he should Have A norris trophy.

757
00:38:50,199 --> 00:38:53,519
Right now got lots, of shots lots, of blocks not that.

758
00:38:53,639 --> 00:38:56,320
Many Hits Is zach warnsky's great?

759
00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 2: Season REPLICABLE so i might be the only among voters

760
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,960
FOR the phawa who Voted For zach wrensky As The

761
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,320
norris champion As the, norris winner and everyone else said

762
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,320
It's a. Homer pick but here's. THE thing i got

763
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,239
to see him every, single game and there's just so

764
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,000
much that goes. Into, IT now i put him up.

765
00:39:16,039 --> 00:39:21,239
THERE ahead i fully realize mccarr's season, Was ridiculous like

766
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:25,280
it was a ridiculous. Offensive number i'm not that stupid

767
00:39:24,599 --> 00:39:28,079
TO say i didn't, notice THAT but i Did put

768
00:39:28,199 --> 00:39:31,360
zach up there for the minutes that's a heck of

769
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,480
a lot of minutes more than the second. Place guy

770
00:39:34,679 --> 00:39:38,000
like he's handling a massive workload on a night to.

771
00:39:38,119 --> 00:39:41,360
Night basis and he also played In The four nations

772
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,280
tournament and Led The Four nations tournament in scoring all

773
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,719
players with six assists and played a bunch of, minutes

774
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,119
there so his legs were burning at the end of,

775
00:39:51,159 --> 00:39:52,960
the year and he ended up going Into The world

776
00:39:53,039 --> 00:39:55,599
championships and HELPING the us win gold for the first

777
00:39:55,599 --> 00:39:59,119
time of ninety years or something At The World. Men's

778
00:39:59,119 --> 00:40:03,000
worlds is? It replicable HERE'S why i think. IT is i,

779
00:40:03,159 --> 00:40:06,800
IN fact i think that he could actually be better

780
00:40:07,519 --> 00:40:10,840
if they could somehow even lessen his minutes a, little

781
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,800
bit take a little bit of load off of the

782
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,159
burning of his legs and lungs. And everything maybe back

783
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,079
him off thirty seconds per game or something like or whatever,

784
00:40:19,119 --> 00:40:22,559
it is and then have him even fresher when he's.

785
00:40:22,599 --> 00:40:25,239
Out there it's hard to do because coaches who end

786
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,159
up coaching him are, JUST like i want him on

787
00:40:27,199 --> 00:40:29,239
the ice like all, the time that's how good. He

788
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,960
IS but i think it's reab replicable because what one

789
00:40:33,039 --> 00:40:35,599
thing that he really did last, year STATISTICALLY and i

790
00:40:35,639 --> 00:40:38,880
know you guys, love stats is if you look at

791
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:44,039
his shots and his, shot attempts they were career highs

792
00:40:44,119 --> 00:40:47,159
last year by quite. A bit they Were very he

793
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,920
basically said it after the, first game like he was

794
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:53,079
in we Were, IN colorado, i think Or maybe minnesota

795
00:40:53,199 --> 00:40:56,559
to start, the season and he, Basically said i'm making

796
00:40:56,599 --> 00:40:58,440
more of an effort to shoot the puck. This year

797
00:40:58,559 --> 00:41:00,320
i'm gonna shoot. The puck i'm going to get it,

798
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,039
on net getting. IT through I think i have a.

799
00:41:03,079 --> 00:41:06,079
Good shot and he also changed his stick LIKE he

800
00:41:06,159 --> 00:41:08,480
i think he put a little more whippiness in it

801
00:41:09,159 --> 00:41:12,039
and got a little a few more miles per hour

802
00:41:12,159 --> 00:41:15,599
maybe on it, as well and, Just decided i'm gonna shoot.

803
00:41:15,599 --> 00:41:17,519
The puck we're going to. Do it and so he

804
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,440
set career highs in. Those numbers and then if you

805
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,800
look at, his percentage his, SHOOTING percentage i think his

806
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:27,440
percentage was close to what he. Usually does but with

807
00:41:27,559 --> 00:41:30,719
a higher volume, of shots there's, more goals there's more

808
00:41:31,039 --> 00:41:34,599
assists created and things, like that and he's not going to.

809
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,719
CHANGE that i don't think that's going to change just

810
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,119
because it's a. NEW year i think he's he realized

811
00:41:40,159 --> 00:41:43,360
that really worked, for HIM and i think he's going

812
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,480
to continue, doing it but as long as he's not

813
00:41:45,519 --> 00:41:48,719
going to four shots that. Aren't THERE but i think

814
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,920
he realized that there were a lot of shots that

815
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,519
he was passing up and he decided to take those

816
00:41:54,519 --> 00:41:57,480
shots instead and just see where, it led and it

817
00:41:57,559 --> 00:41:59,679
led to one of the, best season the best season

818
00:41:59,679 --> 00:42:00,400
in his career.

819
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:04,679
Speaker 3: So far, all right let's talk about the, Young Guy.

820
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:08,519
Denton mitaichak he played TWENTY seven, ahl games and he

821
00:42:08,599 --> 00:42:10,760
was nearly a point per game. Down there when he

822
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,119
was IN. The nhl his offensive impact was a, little

823
00:42:13,199 --> 00:42:15,559
less but he was still able to be roughly average

824
00:42:15,599 --> 00:42:17,719
at both ends of, the ice which is pretty impressive

825
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:21,639
for your first taste OF sustained. Nhl, Action, so brian

826
00:42:21,679 --> 00:42:23,679
what do you think next season Holds, For miteichak because

827
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,360
he's going to be able to improve his. Point totally

828
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,280
he had a twenty four. POINT pace i think the

829
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,280
upside is certainly more. THAN that i would agree with.

830
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,760
Speaker 2: You completely he is a, little undersized so now the

831
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,960
big trend is draft six foot five or taller defenseman

832
00:42:38,119 --> 00:42:41,159
because The border panthers have won and you got to

833
00:42:41,199 --> 00:42:44,400
defend him and all. That stuff denton's only about five ten. Five,

834
00:42:44,519 --> 00:42:48,239
ELEVEN however i feel like he's a really, smooth skater

835
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,519
especially in the, offensive zone walking the, blue line things.

836
00:42:51,559 --> 00:42:54,360
Like that this is a guy Who if warnsky did,

837
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,679
GO down i would not be surprised if they put

838
00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:00,239
him right at the top and make him the power

839
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:04,320
play quarterback Over prover, off either and they might Start

840
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,960
with provooff because he's got. More EXPERIENCE but i would

841
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,559
not be surprised To See denton mattachuk running a top

842
00:43:10,599 --> 00:43:12,639
power play at some point in his career because he's

843
00:43:12,679 --> 00:43:15,079
got that type of ability and if that's, gonna happen

844
00:43:15,159 --> 00:43:17,599
the points are going to. Go UP and i think

845
00:43:17,639 --> 00:43:20,480
that's why AT the ahl level he's like their number one,

846
00:43:20,519 --> 00:43:23,400
defenseman BASICALLY so i think at that level he's running their,

847
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:26,079
power play and so he's getting more power, play time,

848
00:43:26,159 --> 00:43:29,760
more minutes, more points, more assists that kind of stuffs a,

849
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,039
slick passer and he's got a sneaky good shot, as

850
00:43:33,039 --> 00:43:36,320
well And HE what i really Like about DENTON is

851
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:40,559
i Feel like denton has a really good feel for

852
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:44,840
win to pinch down into offensive positions and win not

853
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,960
to for a, Young guy like a lot of dudes

854
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,719
just don't have that feel until they're in the, league

855
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,559
three four or. FIVE years i feel like he's got

856
00:43:53,559 --> 00:43:58,199
that already and that's huge because he kind of add,

857
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,000
some offense but you also don't want to do it

858
00:44:00,079 --> 00:44:03,000
at the behest of. Your DEFENSE and i think that

859
00:44:03,079 --> 00:44:05,800
he's a pretty good two way. Defensive option he's never

860
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,360
going to be like a shutdown type. Of guy he

861
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:12,880
doesn't skate with the kind of speed Explosiveness as calee.

862
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,559
Mccar does but he's not a. Bad skater he's a.

863
00:44:15,559 --> 00:44:18,679
Good skater he's more smooth and can really move in

864
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,360
all directions and that helps. Him defend he's got a,

865
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:25,400
great stick so he's a good stick defender, and HE like,

866
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,360
i said he can get pucked through. As well, and

867
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,800
honestly they think so much. OF him i think when

868
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:33,440
we start this season. He will he ended the season

869
00:44:33,519 --> 00:44:36,920
as like their three to four defenseman on the. Left

870
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:40,079
side he was on that Second pairing and actually that

871
00:44:40,199 --> 00:44:42,280
was the reason they were looking for a Right handed

872
00:44:42,599 --> 00:44:46,519
Provooff because steverson fell out. Of favor he's. A righty

873
00:44:46,679 --> 00:44:50,039
he was scratched the last. Seven Games good branson's not

874
00:44:50,079 --> 00:44:53,559
really a top. Four defenseman he's. Right handed they weren't

875
00:44:53,559 --> 00:44:55,760
going to, do that so they ended up playing Him

876
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,079
with provoff And pro raff can play the. Other side

877
00:44:58,119 --> 00:45:00,079
it's just a little wonky when you're a left he

878
00:45:00,159 --> 00:45:03,159
play on the right side as. A defenseman so they

879
00:45:03,199 --> 00:45:05,199
were kind of looking, and, saying hey can we find

880
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,400
a right handed veteran who's going to handle the top

881
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,840
four minutes to Play with denton because we're not going

882
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,559
To move, denton over but They want denton to play

883
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,920
those top, four MINUTES which i found. Is interesting now

884
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,440
he's young right and. Young defenseman we know it's not

885
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:26,079
always a linear. Development curve sometimes you can take little.

886
00:45:26,079 --> 00:45:29,079
Steps back so if he were to end up playing With, good,

887
00:45:29,119 --> 00:45:32,000
branson say and the, third pairing he's still going to

888
00:45:32,039 --> 00:45:34,440
get power play minutes in the second power. Play unit

889
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,679
but if that were, the case they could theoretically balance

890
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,480
out their lefty. Righty thing if Let's say steverson has a,

891
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,719
better year then you Would have Provooff and severson as

892
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,480
your second pairing like a kind of a veteran's, up

893
00:45:47,519 --> 00:45:51,199
there And then Mattaichuck and gadbrandson would be on the.

894
00:45:51,199 --> 00:45:52,719
Third pairing but that's.

895
00:45:52,519 --> 00:45:53,039
Speaker 3: Just me kind.

896
00:45:53,079 --> 00:45:55,320
Speaker 2: Of spitballing at the end of, the year it Was

897
00:45:55,440 --> 00:46:00,719
solidly mattaichuck as your second defense pairing left side And

898
00:46:01,119 --> 00:46:02,679
provo off your second pairing. Right.

899
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 3: Side nice that's some great insights on. Those two let's

900
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:10,280
move on to. The Goalies The blue jackets were ranked

901
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:13,559
twenty fifth and expected goals per sixty and they conceded

902
00:46:13,599 --> 00:46:17,599
the twenty fifth number actual goals. Per Sixty now tarsov

903
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,360
was part of that equation and he's no longer on,

904
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,159
the team so we'll Focus on Elvis And. Jet Greeves,

905
00:46:23,159 --> 00:46:26,480
so elvis his numbers were a bit. More neutral his

906
00:46:26,559 --> 00:46:29,440
goal save above expected In. Delta fenwick he was able

907
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:34,320
to Keep The, delta fenwick say percentage neutral compared. To

908
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,639
expective that's at. Least reasonable he wasn't well. Below that

909
00:46:38,159 --> 00:46:41,000
he's in the fourth year of a five point four million.

910
00:46:41,039 --> 00:46:45,679
Dollar deal And then grieves he had some excellent times

911
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,800
in the net and just his eleven starts eleven almost

912
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,840
twelve goals save above expected And A delta fenwick of

913
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:54,880
two point five. To three those are pretty ridiculous numbers

914
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:58,000
in a small. Sample size so it sounds like they're

915
00:46:58,039 --> 00:47:00,840
pretty confident that he can carry the. Backup low but

916
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:02,199
what do you think the split. Will be do you

917
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:05,079
think it'll be like sixty forty Or will grieves get

918
00:47:05,159 --> 00:47:06,639
a lot less? Than that what do you think we

919
00:47:06,639 --> 00:47:08,199
should expect from the net Here.

920
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:14,079
Speaker 2: In columbus that's interesting because like, Last, YEAR tarasoft i

921
00:47:14,119 --> 00:47:16,760
think it was technically his second season as, a backup

922
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,880
but like he was more used to playing, more, often

923
00:47:20,159 --> 00:47:24,280
right and like he had a couple struggles early ON

924
00:47:24,559 --> 00:47:27,719
and i think lost the confidence of the coaching staff a,

925
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,679
little bit like early and because, of that they were

926
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,159
trying to stay competitive. And everything they just Kept rolling

927
00:47:33,159 --> 00:47:36,159
Elvis out and when, that happened it, was fine except

928
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,559
for whenever they had to go back to, tarasof now

929
00:47:38,599 --> 00:47:41,639
he was, completely rusty was, not ready and then he'd

930
00:47:41,679 --> 00:47:43,119
come in and give up a bunch of goals.

931
00:47:43,159 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 3: And stuff and at.

932
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:45,320
Speaker 2: One point they had to send him back TO the

933
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,920
ahl on a conditioning assignment just to get him some

934
00:47:48,039 --> 00:47:50,440
work and get a couple of games under his belt

935
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,639
to get the rust offs and then bring him back.

936
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,360
To play and actually it worked because he was much

937
00:47:55,400 --> 00:48:00,800
better AFTER the. Ahl Assignment, JACK greaves i he was.

938
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:04,000
So impressive like in the last they won six games

939
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,159
in a row at the end. Of season five of,

940
00:48:06,159 --> 00:48:08,559
those games the last five Games Was jack greeves was

941
00:48:08,559 --> 00:48:10,760
the starter in all five, of them and he was

942
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,360
an emergency fill In because elvis ended up getting, A

943
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:16,719
concussion like he won the first of those, six games got,

944
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:19,679
A concussion like, IN practice i think or something like

945
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:23,800
the next day they had to make an, emergency Recall

946
00:48:24,079 --> 00:48:26,880
get jet back Up to columbus and just throw him

947
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:29,519
right in. The net and he ends up like pitching

948
00:48:29,559 --> 00:48:32,920
TWO shutouts i think in the last five games and

949
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:36,800
winning five, straight GAMES and i think his goals against

950
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:40,320
was like one seventy five and his say percentage was

951
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,559
like nine to seventy or something. Like that it was an,

952
00:48:42,599 --> 00:48:46,159
insane stretch like he was crazy and it was none

953
00:48:46,199 --> 00:48:48,760
of it felt out. Of place he's not the. Biggest guy,

954
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:52,880
in fact he's, pretty small but goalie smaller goalies. Are

955
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:56,320
Starting he sorrow's led. The Charge just terkin's not the

956
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,480
biggest guy in. The world he's, not small but he's not,

957
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:02,079
huge either so that you're starting to see more of

958
00:49:02,119 --> 00:49:06,480
these kind of they're not average size. For goalies we

959
00:49:06,519 --> 00:49:08,360
went through a stretch there where if he weren't, six'

960
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,760
five they weren't even, looking at you and six four,

961
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,159
Sixty five whatever if you weren't that, type of goalie

962
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:16,159
you weren't even. Getting a Sniff and now jet is

963
00:49:16,159 --> 00:49:18,800
probably think he's listed A six foot i'd be surprised

964
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:22,280
if he's five. Ten five Eleven i'm sorry he's probably

965
00:49:22,559 --> 00:49:26,880
five eleven ish close, to six foot but not the biggest.

966
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:30,519
For a goalie but he's got an, Incredible glove hand

967
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:34,400
like his glove, Side Is ridiculous like i've Seen He

968
00:49:34,519 --> 00:49:37,519
had alex ovechkin shaking his head and looking, at the

969
00:49:37,639 --> 00:49:41,239
rafters like when We. Were in washington oveskin thought he

970
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:43,559
had him. DEAD to rights, i was like here comes

971
00:49:43,599 --> 00:49:46,800
another one and fired at him with wide open and

972
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:50,119
It's just like jet just, like gloved, it held it

973
00:49:50,199 --> 00:49:51,440
got a whistle and threw it.

974
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 3: On the ice.

975
00:49:52,199 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 2: No BIG problem, so i think what's? Gonna HAPPEN here Is?

976
00:49:56,519 --> 00:49:58,800
I think jet they they look at this is The

977
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:01,280
time for jet to be here for the first time

978
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:05,639
as a FULL time. LIKE nhl player i bet you

979
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,679
he's going in is like the backup guy, to start

980
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:10,920
out Because you got elvis and his contract and. All

981
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:14,320
that stuff it would not surprise me If he outplays

982
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,880
elvis though at some point and takes over the starter's

983
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:21,039
role for at. Least a Stretch as for elvis two

984
00:50:21,119 --> 00:50:24,400
years left on a five point four million dollar av,

985
00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:28,880
Contract per YEAR like when i looked at his, STATS

986
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:30,920
last year i thought you could break it down INTO

987
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:34,440
two things i thought he was pretty good five on five.

988
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:38,599
And even strength once it went to a, short handed

989
00:50:38,639 --> 00:50:43,800
situation it was really a. Struggle for him and what's,

990
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:45,360
the old saying if you want to have a, good

991
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:48,159
penalty killer your goalie has to be your. Best penalty

992
00:50:48,199 --> 00:50:51,719
killer he struggled on the penalty, kill last year and,

993
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,679
that's just it just. What it is if you look,

994
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:57,800
at the numbers most of his struggles came when they were,

995
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,920
four on five or most goalies struggle and it's three

996
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,599
on five or three on. Five or whatever but four

997
00:51:03,639 --> 00:51:06,079
on five. He really struggled and, FIVE on five i

998
00:51:06,079 --> 00:51:08,760
thought he was slightly. Better than average so what they,

999
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:13,239
need from him he needs to be better than slightly,

1000
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:16,599
better than average, but even strength and he needs to

1001
00:51:16,639 --> 00:51:19,880
improve that. Penalty kill percentage he needs to be better at.

1002
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:21,599
The PENALTY kill and i think if they can get

1003
00:51:21,599 --> 00:51:24,800
some improvements from him in those two areas and then

1004
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:28,199
you have jet, backing them up there's definitely. Room for

1005
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:32,599
improvement there quite a bit of. Room for improvement but if,

1006
00:51:32,639 --> 00:51:35,239
they get it they're gonna. HAVE enough goals i think

1007
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:38,039
they're going to. Score enough goals it's just a matter

1008
00:51:38,079 --> 00:51:40,039
of keeping it out of your net enough to get.

1009
00:51:40,079 --> 00:51:43,239
Speaker 4: To, the playoffs well this has been great Information About, The.

1036
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:04,599
one of my, favorite PROSPECT goalies, And i know i'm

1037
00:53:04,599 --> 00:53:06,400
pretty sure you have a Saft Spot for sergey.

1038
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 5: Ivanoff as well he.

1039
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:11,559
Speaker 3: Is a six point zero maybe a one hundred and

1040
00:53:11,559 --> 00:53:13,960
fifty seven pound drafted in the fifth round back in.

1041
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:17,320
Twenty twenty two he just FINISHED his second Khl season

1042
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:20,039
with socin it. WENT pretty well i would like to,

1043
00:53:20,079 --> 00:53:22,119
see this too because he came up In The scott.

1044
00:53:22,199 --> 00:53:25,960
Saint pete system he did PLAY IN the vhl mhl

1045
00:53:26,079 --> 00:53:28,119
and then a couple of GAMES in the khl Last

1046
00:53:28,119 --> 00:53:33,079
Season for saint pete before Being Loan to admiral vladivostok

1047
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,519
and led. Really good Numbers, and THEN sochi who i

1048
00:53:36,519 --> 00:53:38,920
don't think is as good, as a team he ended

1049
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:40,760
up having pretty good numbers with. Them as well so

1050
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:44,079
we saw two different systems success at a. Very high

1051
00:53:44,119 --> 00:53:48,159
level that's got to pretend Pretty. Good for ivanoff looking at,

1052
00:53:48,159 --> 00:53:51,239
his hockey prospecting it's like a straight upward shot of

1053
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:54,039
equivalency from thirty seven to forty two to sixty two,

1054
00:53:54,079 --> 00:53:56,679
to eighty three and he's got.

1055
00:53:56,559 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 5: Some, pretty good commps a.

1056
00:53:57,480 --> 00:53:58,840
Speaker 3: Bunch of them one of them that he looks a

1057
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:02,360
Lot Alike, is ille stepsanoff who you know has had

1058
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:04,079
an UP and, down nhl career BUT is.

1059
00:54:04,119 --> 00:54:06,840
Speaker 5: An nhl goalie so kat what he instincts Tell, Us about.

1060
00:54:06,679 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 1: Ivanov he's a lot of fun to watch because he

1061
00:54:10,559 --> 00:54:12,920
is a much smaller goaltender and He is, a russian

1062
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:17,280
goaltender and, based on that you would expect him to

1063
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:22,800
be really active, and really aggressive and he. Stays REALLY

1064
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:25,280
controlled and i think we talked about that last year

1065
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:29,719
because he IS someone who i really enjoy watching because

1066
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:32,639
he's a smaller goaltender and he has just so much discipline.

1067
00:54:32,639 --> 00:54:37,079
In His game and i'm excited to see what he

1068
00:54:37,119 --> 00:54:40,519
Can Do for saint, pete this year just because that's A.

1069
00:54:40,559 --> 00:54:45,159
Powerhouse in russia that's when IT comes. TO khl teams

1070
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,679
i think it's not not a very well kept secret

1071
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:52,000
THAT not all khl teams are created equal and not

1072
00:54:52,039 --> 00:54:55,920
all of them receive equal. Resources And funding and hasochi

1073
00:54:56,039 --> 00:54:59,719
is a, really Good Team but SAINT pete alongside csk

1074
00:55:00,039 --> 00:55:02,480
scour the two like those are the, two Big bads

1075
00:55:02,639 --> 00:55:09,079
and i'm excited to see, how he performs given how

1076
00:55:09,079 --> 00:55:14,039
good his numbers, were last year PLAYING a full khl

1077
00:55:14,159 --> 00:55:17,360
season for one of the two best teams, in THE

1078
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:22,400
league and i want to see if he's able to

1079
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:26,199
negotiate Coming Over to NORTH america because i would love

1080
00:55:26,199 --> 00:55:29,280
to see That For, the BLUE jackets who i think

1081
00:55:30,199 --> 00:55:32,159
we are at the Point With the blue jackets where

1082
00:55:32,159 --> 00:55:37,760
they need they almost need like a full reset, on

1083
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:43,199
their goaltending just because of it's a team that has

1084
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:44,880
gone through a lot of sadness in the last, couple

1085
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,679
OF years and i think that having some fresh blood

1086
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:51,199
who has been doing a really good job overseas and

1087
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:57,159
not within their System Here in north america will be

1088
00:55:57,239 --> 00:55:57,880
a good thing.

1089
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:01,280
Speaker 6: For that team so he's looking like he's got all.

1090
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:04,119
Speaker 1: The right stuff he's looking like he's got, really good

1091
00:56:04,639 --> 00:56:07,280
technique he's looking like he's. Able to adapt he's played

1092
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:09,159
on TWO different kh al teams in the, last two

1093
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:14,119
years which is not him. Being shuffled around it's more

1094
00:56:15,119 --> 00:56:17,719
to him being loaned out to teams.

1095
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 6: That are going to be able to give him the

1096
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:20,039
playing time.

1097
00:56:20,039 --> 00:56:23,280
Speaker 1: That he needs so he's getting, appearances in, net getting

1098
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:24,920
reps and now we get.

1099
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:27,519
Speaker 6: To see if that's someone who's going to be able.

1100
00:56:27,559 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 5: To, Come over yeah i'm really.

1101
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:33,119
Speaker 3: EXCITED for him i also am very sad That They

1102
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:36,519
traded DANIELLE tarasov because i thought he could have been

1103
00:56:36,559 --> 00:56:38,599
a really good solution for.

1104
00:56:38,639 --> 00:56:41,599
Speaker 5: Them a net but maybe they're making.

1105
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:44,679
Speaker 3: Waves Way, for JAED greaves which i know we've talked about.

1106
00:56:44,679 --> 00:56:46,400
In the past we're not going through this year because

1107
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:48,079
he's going to BE. In the nhl it's going to,

1108
00:56:48,079 --> 00:56:51,159
be THEIR backup and i really hope all the.

1109
00:56:51,199 --> 00:56:52,079
Speaker 5: Best To.

1110
00:56:52,159 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 6: Him thank god to speak to him should.

1111
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:56,760
Speaker 3: Be really fun we do have one more guy, to

1112
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:59,360
talk about and this guy also, will be interesting and

1113
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:01,840
they certainly have for. All their decisions they certainly have

1114
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:03,960
a much better prospect goaliepool.

1115
00:57:03,559 --> 00:57:06,280
Speaker 5: Than other teams so they got that. Going For Them but.

1116
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:07,880
Speaker 3: Evan gardner is the other one we're going. To talk

1117
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:09,880
about he's, a six foot one hundred and seventy six

1118
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:13,800
pound goalie drafted last draft twenty twenty four in, the

1119
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:17,039
second round as a lot of goalies who Went early

1120
00:57:17,239 --> 00:57:20,599
were he just FINISHED his second whl Season For the

1121
00:57:20,639 --> 00:57:24,079
saskatoon blades and he had a little bit better numbers

1122
00:57:24,159 --> 00:57:26,480
last season. NINE twenty seven i think the team overall

1123
00:57:26,559 --> 00:57:28,599
was a, little bit better but nine to eleven this

1124
00:57:28,679 --> 00:57:32,840
past season as. A safe percentage and he's, a bit young,

1125
00:57:33,159 --> 00:57:35,480
not super young but he won't Be, twenty until JANUARY

1126
00:57:35,559 --> 00:57:38,039
which means i don't think he can BE. In the

1127
00:57:38,239 --> 00:57:41,119
ahl although he DID get one ahl Game with the

1128
00:57:41,239 --> 00:57:44,400
monsters after, his junior season which they're. Allowed to do

1129
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:46,679
it did not, go super well but he still got

1130
00:57:46,719 --> 00:57:49,719
a long. Runway of development he is covering in that

1131
00:57:49,719 --> 00:57:51,920
twenty five percent chance OF, being in nhlr so he

1132
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:55,159
has a LOT of. Very Meh comps corey hirsch is

1133
00:57:55,199 --> 00:57:58,679
one WHO was a whl guy back drafted a, long

1134
00:57:58,719 --> 00:58:00,920
time ago back. IN ninety one. I don't know maybe,

1135
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:02,760
that's his upside or. Maybe there's more you're going to tell.

1136
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:05,280
Us a cat what do your instincts Tell. Us about gardner.

1137
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:07,719
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what. HE can do i think

1138
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:12,800
he's still so young, at this point especially compared to

1139
00:58:13,639 --> 00:58:16,800
a lot of the other prospect. Goaltenders right now when

1140
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:20,199
we look at Especially within, the columbus system they.

1141
00:58:20,079 --> 00:58:23,119
Speaker 6: Have had a lot of older guys.

1142
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:26,119
Speaker 1: IN their system i think, he LOOKS good but i

1143
00:58:26,199 --> 00:58:31,320
think he looks LIKE a. Textbook whl goaltender where he,

1144
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:36,360
plays really, crisp clean angles doesn't, get too excited doesn't.

1145
00:58:36,039 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 6: Get drawn out of his.

1146
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:40,880
Speaker 1: Net too often but we haven't really gotten a chance

1147
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:44,559
to see what he can do in, those desperate moments

1148
00:58:44,599 --> 00:58:47,719
so we don't necessarily know what his creative. Side looks

1149
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:49,920
LIKE he and i do, share A birthday which i

1150
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,079
thought was REALLY exciting when, i SAW that until i

1151
00:58:52,159 --> 00:58:56,440
realized just which one OF my birthdays i celebrated when,

1152
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:58,199
he was born and that made.

1153
00:58:58,239 --> 00:58:59,039
Speaker 6: Me really sad.

1154
00:58:59,199 --> 00:59:02,079
Speaker 1: BUT that's okay i could, Be his, Mom it's, FINE

1155
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:04,599
but yeah i think the fact that he was able

1156
00:59:04,639 --> 00:59:08,079
to GET a single hl game and just to get

1157
00:59:08,079 --> 00:59:10,159
a taste of what he needs to add, INTO his

1158
00:59:10,239 --> 00:59:12,880
game i think it didn't go super well because he's

1159
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:16,519
been playing such, a rigid game which works really well in,

1160
00:59:16,559 --> 00:59:19,880
a controlled environment ESPECIALLY. IN the whl i think it

1161
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:22,920
does not work super well once YOU hit the hl

1162
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:26,480
and you get, that unmitigated chaos and it showed that's

1163
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,199
when some of his weaknesses started. TO pop out i

1164
00:59:29,199 --> 00:59:33,599
did notice when looking. At, his comps obviously he's still

1165
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:36,079
young enough and we have so little data for him

1166
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:39,199
that we don't, know FOR sure but i Do See

1167
00:59:39,199 --> 00:59:41,960
that joel blanquist is one of.

1168
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:45,679
Speaker 6: The potential, comps, in there which AS much As I.

1169
00:59:45,599 --> 00:59:49,039
Speaker 1: Love COREY hirsch and i consider him, A good Front

1170
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:55,199
i think blonquist is probably at this point a much

1171
00:59:55,199 --> 00:59:56,480
more Reassuring Comp for.

1172
00:59:56,519 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 6: Blue jackets fans No.

1173
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:03,320
Speaker 1: OFFENSE to corey i think this, is A project though

1174
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:07,119
i don't Think he's unless columbus.

1175
01:00:06,639 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 6: Really changes their strategy in the next.

1176
01:00:09,119 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 1: YEAR or two i don't think we're likely to even

1177
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:17,559
consider seeing HIM at the nhl level, for three years,

1178
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:22,599
maybe even four which, at that point in three years

1179
01:00:22,599 --> 01:00:24,719
from now he sall only, be twenty two and four

1180
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,079
years from no he'd, be twenty three so that's about

1181
01:00:27,159 --> 01:00:30,079
when we would want to, See him anyway so not,

1182
01:00:30,159 --> 01:00:33,760
a bad thing just he's, still really young AND he's

1183
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:38,599
still i think he needs to get pushed off the

1184
01:00:38,719 --> 01:00:40,480
edge of the pool into the deep end a couple

1185
01:00:40,519 --> 01:00:44,239
more times in order to really figure out what he

1186
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,679
needs to loosen up on in his game. A, little bit.

1187
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:50,119
Speaker 3: Yeah for. Sure sounds good thanks so much for giving

1188
01:00:50,199 --> 01:00:53,199
us your Instincts On The columbus, blue jackets, goalies.

1189
01:00:53,480 --> 01:01:12,440
Speaker 4: Of course will be back right. After this dig The

1190
01:01:12,599 --> 01:01:16,639
Gynasty Did. Columbus, Blue, jackets addition victor this is your

1191
01:01:16,719 --> 01:01:21,280
number twelve system and the no brainer has no brain

1192
01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:23,159
in his way all the way from last year to

1193
01:01:23,199 --> 01:01:25,519
this year with. Very little update, who is, It.

1194
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:27,639
Speaker 3: That's Right Jessey.

1195
01:01:27,679 --> 01:01:31,239
Speaker 7: It's caden linstrom and as, People Probably, know caden linstrom

1196
01:01:31,239 --> 01:01:33,960
who was drafted fourth overall back in, twenty twenty four

1197
01:01:34,719 --> 01:01:37,360
played four games all, of this season so we didn't

1198
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:40,800
really learn. A whole lot, he was, injured and frankly

1199
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:44,519
it was a pretty important theme throughout this year's draft

1200
01:01:44,639 --> 01:01:48,000
is people not wanting to have another incense like this

1201
01:01:48,079 --> 01:01:51,599
because even though hopefully everything will Be fine with linstrom his,

1202
01:01:51,679 --> 01:01:54,199
career moving forward but the reality is that he lost

1203
01:01:54,239 --> 01:01:56,760
an entire year of development, this past year which is

1204
01:01:57,039 --> 01:01:59,760
really important as an eighteen. Nineteen year old so he

1205
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:02,400
did play four games in the playoffs from medicine had he.

1206
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:05,360
Had four points he looked pretty good frankly during. Those

1207
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:07,840
four games but it's just such a small Sample size

1208
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:10,519
that i'm not sure we can say a whole lot

1209
01:02:10,559 --> 01:02:14,280
different about him, this time around other than he remains

1210
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:16,880
a top Prospect in. The columbus system he, remains, a

1211
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:21,199
big powerful physical forward who can if everything breaks, right

1212
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:26,119
be incredible and that's hopefully. Still the case he is

1213
01:02:26,719 --> 01:02:29,880
this upcoming season GRADUATING from the whl and GOING to

1214
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:33,960
the ncaa who has a pretty incredible freshman class and all,

1215
01:02:34,039 --> 01:02:36,760
star freshman class and hopefully we'll be able to. Do

1216
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:38,719
great things but it will be a steep learning curve

1217
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:42,719
after missing a big part of the previous season and

1218
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:45,079
all of this SEASON, in a whl he just hasn't played.

1219
01:02:45,079 --> 01:02:48,440
Speaker 3: That many games he's played UNDER one, hundred whl games

1220
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:51,920
and that's just frankly not enough to really get him

1221
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:53,000
to where he. Needs to go so it'll be a

1222
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:56,000
steep learning curve, of A college But i'm sure i'll.

1223
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 7: Make the most of it and we'll learn a. Lot from,

1224
01:02:57,480 --> 01:03:01,280
him AS such my fhl layer card didn't change for him.

1225
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:03,000
THIS last year i just kept him where he was seven.

1226
01:03:03,039 --> 01:03:04,920
POINT two three i don't see any reason.

1227
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 2: To.

1228
01:03:05,079 --> 01:03:07,360
Speaker 7: CHANGE that still i think he has a, lot of

1229
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:09,119
upside but don't really know.

1230
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:11,599
Speaker 3: How likely it is because of all the things. We

1231
01:03:11,719 --> 01:03:14,199
just mentioned but we can learn a little Bit more

1232
01:03:14,239 --> 01:03:16,679
about WINSTON from Our. Fhl scout, Jesse.

1233
01:03:17,599 --> 01:03:20,559
Speaker 4: That's right VICTOR and Our fhl scout jeremy had, This

1234
01:03:20,639 --> 01:03:23,480
to say lindstrom is an effortless skater that's slow in

1235
01:03:23,559 --> 01:03:26,000
the first step as many, big guys are but he

1236
01:03:26,039 --> 01:03:28,880
breezes through the neutral Zone with these he also has

1237
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:31,760
good edgework and is strong, on his skates a major plus.

1238
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:35,119
At his size linstrom's a good. Passer and stickhandler his

1239
01:03:35,239 --> 01:03:37,599
wide reach allows him to get around opponents. With ease

1240
01:03:38,239 --> 01:03:40,719
shooting jeremy didn't see a lot, of the shot but

1241
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:43,400
his accuracy seemed to be a little rusty in the games.

1242
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:46,639
That he watched if he dials in that he's taking shots,

1243
01:03:46,679 --> 01:03:52,239
FROM dangerous areas iq always. In, dangerous positions offensively, defense

1244
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:56,280
wasn't bad but definitely was not. His calling Card good

1245
01:03:56,280 --> 01:04:00,440
for checker very constantly applied pressure threat to, take the

1246
01:04:00,519 --> 01:04:03,320
body but was careful not to throw himself out of

1247
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:07,679
position going for. A big hit the defense was fine for.

1248
01:04:07,719 --> 01:04:09,760
A young center was able to use his long reach

1249
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:12,559
to dis rough passes, or lift sticks but was definitely more.

1250
01:04:12,639 --> 01:04:17,159
Oriented to, offense, best asset then was just the general ability. To,

1251
01:04:17,199 --> 01:04:20,800
create chaos size speed and skill are a nice, recipe

1252
01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:23,519
for success and the biggest obvious is can be. The

1253
01:04:23,559 --> 01:04:26,719
injury history it's, been well advertised but one point five

1254
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:29,480
years of loss development is going to, hurt Any, prospect

1255
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:32,480
and jeremy like the, rest of us hopes to, see a.

1256
01:04:32,519 --> 01:04:36,039
Full healthy season the top tier outcome still a top

1257
01:04:36,079 --> 01:04:39,599
Line Center perennial All star per jeremy because he's got

1258
01:04:39,639 --> 01:04:41,639
the makings of the top of, the league's center a,

1259
01:04:41,639 --> 01:04:44,960
lot of. Tools very raw the media outcome middle six

1260
01:04:45,039 --> 01:04:48,360
secondary score, because the, size the smarts and the offensive

1261
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:50,840
talent are there to stick around. For a while the

1262
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:53,760
offense doesn't fully. Come to fruition teams will value his

1263
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:59,239
speed and physicality in other Roles stylistic, comparable barkov's offense but.

1264
01:04:59,519 --> 01:05:03,679
Not his, Events and overall jeremy wants to see him

1265
01:05:03,679 --> 01:05:05,800
have a Big Year at michigan. State next year big

1266
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:08,960
ten is some, really good competition and it will have him,

1267
01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:14,239
playing against. Older bigger Competition Our Ultimate Lord Stanley Tidy

1268
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:18,079
Champion Financial rankking mason black put out the poll two

1269
01:05:18,159 --> 01:05:22,000
guys from up in last, Year's Rookie draft Berkeley Catton.

1270
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:26,599
And kaden lynched berkeley parlayed that additional year of production

1271
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:29,719
into A win over linstrum in this poll fifty seven to. Forty,

1272
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:33,800
Three percent victor, What say you I'm definitely.

1273
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:36,519
Speaker 3: TAKING cadden here i really.

1274
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 7: Like his season, And his progression and maybe this is

1275
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:43,119
more having To do with cadden showing and improving and

1276
01:05:43,199 --> 01:05:46,320
building on, his Next Steps whereas kayden linstrom just didn't have.

1277
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:50,760
The opportunity to but You gotta love. Kenn's increased production

1278
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:52,599
he went from one hundred and sixteen points in sixty

1279
01:05:52,599 --> 01:05:54,639
Eight games for spokane last year to one hundred and

1280
01:05:54,719 --> 01:05:57,800
nine and fifty seven this year as the CAPTAIN of,

1281
01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:00,480
the whl team and he was over to points per

1282
01:06:00,519 --> 01:06:03,760
game in the. Playoffs as well Just all around STUNN

1283
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:05,960
and yet i do worry a little bit about The,

1284
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:08,440
deeps WITH katten but i think he's just so strong

1285
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:11,079
and SPECIAL offensively that i think he. Can get there

1286
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:13,400
one of The things that i'm a little Worried about

1287
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:17,480
with catten is that he's just beyond the BIRTHDATE. For

1288
01:06:17,519 --> 01:06:19,320
THE ahl and i know that they DID, update their

1289
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:22,440
cba but unfortunately this is going to be. Effective next

1290
01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:24,800
season so they have an exception clause IN the new

1291
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:29,039
cba where a team can put one player in their

1292
01:06:29,079 --> 01:06:31,800
prospect POOL in the ahl under the, age of twenty

1293
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:34,400
but that's not Going to, help Cadden unfortunately so i'm

1294
01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:35,960
curious to see what they're. Going to do there's really

1295
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:36,519
nothing left for.

1296
01:06:36,559 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 3: Him to DO at.

1297
01:06:37,039 --> 01:06:39,559
Speaker 7: The whl level maybe They do with cadden what They

1298
01:06:39,559 --> 01:06:41,119
Did with shane wright a couple, of years ago and

1299
01:06:41,199 --> 01:06:43,159
keep him on the team but send him down for

1300
01:06:43,239 --> 01:06:45,599
a conditioning assignment and could stretch out his time with

1301
01:06:45,679 --> 01:06:48,480
the team and GIVE him some ahl time until he

1302
01:06:48,519 --> 01:06:49,119
goes Back To.

1303
01:06:49,159 --> 01:06:52,280
Speaker 3: The world juniors so it'll be, INTERESTING to see. I think,

1304
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:54,480
THAT but anyways i like HIM better and i think

1305
01:06:54,519 --> 01:06:56,960
that he's come along, a little Bit and hopefully linstrom.

1306
01:06:57,039 --> 01:06:59,480
Can get there but, As of Now i'm taking instrom

1307
01:07:00,079 --> 01:07:04,880
And what's touching looking at the hockey prospecting, between the

1308
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:06,360
two they both have.

1309
01:07:06,719 --> 01:07:10,280
Speaker 7: Really High percentages but cadden went from sixty to fifty

1310
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:12,039
five percent, being a star so he's still. A Bit,

1311
01:07:12,119 --> 01:07:14,599
higher and byron like a, lot of people just kept

1312
01:07:14,599 --> 01:07:16,880
his percentage The Same, for katin linstrom so he's still at,

1313
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:21,199
thirty four percent and So. Definitely lean's cadden here LOOKING

1314
01:07:21,239 --> 01:07:23,679
at my, fhl Player, card for cadden there's just a

1315
01:07:23,679 --> 01:07:27,199
whole lot of green everywhere. On this card he drives.

1316
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:30,559
Play really well his transition game is really good except

1317
01:07:30,599 --> 01:07:33,280
for his, dump in entries but a lot of strong

1318
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:35,760
players refuse to dump in because they'd rather carry it

1319
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:37,119
in or, pass it in so you can't hold. That

1320
01:07:37,159 --> 01:07:40,079
Against him berkeley catton's pims aren't going, to be great

1321
01:07:40,079 --> 01:07:43,679
but overall his bash should be, seventy eight percentile mostly related.

1322
01:07:43,719 --> 01:07:46,239
To his shots he's a little bit below average for

1323
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:48,360
blocks and very. Low for him definitely a little weaker,

1324
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:50,280
on that end but, other than, that the scoring. The

1325
01:07:50,559 --> 01:07:53,280
expected goals you got to check OUT these new. Fhl

1326
01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:55,840
player cards they're pretty, cool and updated and there's, two

1327
01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:58,239
different versions so if you like the linear bargraph you.

1328
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 3: Can use that if you, like the boxes you can

1329
01:08:00,159 --> 01:08:04,119
use that huge update that we just, Underwent this offseason so.

1330
01:08:04,199 --> 01:08:07,039
Check those out back to some Other Comps, for caden

1331
01:08:07,079 --> 01:08:10,960
linstrom there's. SOME reasonable ones i think certainly the bark

1332
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:15,320
off without the. Defense is interesting the one that looks

1333
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:18,119
the most similar to me on Hockey Prospecting, is matt

1334
01:08:18,159 --> 01:08:22,920
dushane who certainly became, a star producer but definitely more offense,

1335
01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:27,319
and LESS defense and i think that Probably resonates with listrom,

1336
01:08:27,319 --> 01:08:29,399
a Little bit and i'm not sure that the offense

1337
01:08:29,399 --> 01:08:31,199
will be, quite that good but he certainly has a

1338
01:08:31,239 --> 01:08:32,800
potential to be and has the potential to have.

1339
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:35,960
Speaker 7: More bash chess so. That's pretty exciting that's your no

1340
01:08:36,039 --> 01:08:38,079
Brainer For The. Columbus blue Jackets.

1341
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:40,560
Speaker 4: And who victor is our? Need to know.

1342
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:46,279
Speaker 3: Our need To Know. Is luca morelli so this is.

1343
01:08:46,319 --> 01:08:51,159
Speaker 7: AN interesting one i like doing these because sometimes there's

1344
01:08:51,279 --> 01:08:53,399
some guys that just aren't, as WELL known and i

1345
01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:56,479
think it's really helpful to dig into. Some of these

1346
01:08:56,520 --> 01:08:58,600
so he is the twenty twenty, fourth third rounder, eighty

1347
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:02,680
sixth overall sixty two. Hundred five pounds he's a right

1348
01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:08,199
shot d. Pretty late birthdate he's a or. Sorry early

1349
01:09:08,239 --> 01:09:10,319
Birthdate he's, in october fourth or just a couple of

1350
01:09:10,359 --> 01:09:13,600
years before being eligible for, the previous draft and he's BEEN,

1351
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:17,319
in the ohl increasing his scoring. Year by year this

1352
01:09:17,359 --> 01:09:20,000
past season he had seventy points in, sixty seven games

1353
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:22,479
seventy four points sixty seven Games For the oshawa generals

1354
01:09:23,159 --> 01:09:27,680
and overall looking, really strong there including a pretty. Amazing

1355
01:09:27,840 --> 01:09:30,760
playoff run because, of his.

1356
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:32,199
Speaker 3: Age he will Be.

1357
01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:35,920
Speaker 7: Twenty, on october fourth so he will be able to

1358
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:37,680
BE in the Ahl of the cleveland monsters and that'll

1359
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:41,039
be good. For his Development Looking at mitch brown's Tracking Data,

1360
01:09:41,039 --> 01:09:45,359
for luca morelli overall really solid, seventy fifth percentiles offenses,

1361
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:48,840
ninety third percentile, transitions forty seven and, defense since fiftieth so.

1362
01:09:48,920 --> 01:09:52,319
Definitely more offensive his expected gold and primary assists are.

1363
01:09:52,359 --> 01:09:55,439
Both really high slot passes chopper sixty all. That's really

1364
01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:57,960
good his transition game is really good, in some areas

1365
01:09:58,079 --> 01:10:01,600
kind of lacking and controlled relative, entries and exits so that's.

1366
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:05,560
A little unfortunate and his entry prevention is also a

1367
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:07,479
little bit lower and also not the, most physical guy

1368
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:09,960
which you can SEE on the. Fhl player card his

1369
01:10:10,119 --> 01:10:13,760
hits are. Just twentieth, percentile, his shots though are one

1370
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:16,000
hundred percent of on is expecting, bills and points as,

1371
01:10:16,039 --> 01:10:18,399
you might imagine. Are really good his, blocks are averaged

1372
01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:20,880
so his bass should be slightly above average when you.

1373
01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:23,399
Combine all those let's hear a little Bit More about

1374
01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:25,720
LUCA morelli From Fhl Scout jesse.

1375
01:10:27,119 --> 01:10:30,399
Speaker 4: Victor jeremy's, Back he says marilli is a skater with

1376
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:33,880
surprising burst. For his size usually relies, on his positioning

1377
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:36,199
but he can turn on the. Jets when needed he

1378
01:10:36,399 --> 01:10:39,319
is a confident puck handler who just makes. The simple

1379
01:10:39,359 --> 01:10:42,520
play doesn't get fancy on, the power play cool and collected.

1380
01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:46,560
Even under pressure the passing is. Always on point jeremy

1381
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:50,039
was particularly impressed with the ability of making soft passes

1382
01:10:50,119 --> 01:10:53,279
and tight spaces that. Teammates could handle he also seems

1383
01:10:53,319 --> 01:10:55,640
to be a prime passer to tee up, a one

1384
01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:59,119
timer helps When you have, seneke taking those though shooting

1385
01:10:59,399 --> 01:11:01,800
doesn't have a, booming point shot but as a good

1386
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:04,960
snapbris shot more kin. To a forward he's also good

1387
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:08,079
at taking little sifters to, get pucks through although he

1388
01:11:08,239 --> 01:11:12,079
usually looks for. A PASS. First the iq jeremy REALLY

1389
01:11:12,279 --> 01:11:14,920
likes that iq on both ends. Of the, puck sturdy defender,

1390
01:11:15,279 --> 01:11:18,800
but fullized vision always looking back door even when it

1391
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:23,079
looks like he's in prime, shooting position himself often setting up. Tap,

1392
01:11:23,159 --> 01:11:27,000
In goals defense jeremy didn't see enough defense to be,

1393
01:11:27,079 --> 01:11:31,079
one percent confident but he thought he. Looked above average shouldn't,

1394
01:11:31,119 --> 01:11:34,840
hurt you anyway but probably leans more to, an offensive

1395
01:11:35,119 --> 01:11:39,079
role so the best. Asset was vision, In another universe

1396
01:11:39,159 --> 01:11:41,560
jeremy wonders if he could have developed. As a centiment

1397
01:11:42,039 --> 01:11:45,279
biggest concern seems almost too. Nonchalant at times hard to

1398
01:11:45,319 --> 01:11:47,880
tell if that's because he's, dominating his level, which he

1399
01:11:48,039 --> 01:11:51,920
is or because there's. A motor concern, top tier, outcome

1400
01:11:52,159 --> 01:11:56,560
top line top, power play defenceman but. Not necessarily elite

1401
01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:58,720
that might be a bit of a stretch even for a,

1402
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:01,720
top Tier outcome but jeremy thinks he could develop nicely

1403
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:04,039
into a guy you want. Feeding your stars odds are

1404
01:12:04,119 --> 01:12:06,399
he'll be the second to the fourth defender, on a

1405
01:12:06,479 --> 01:12:11,439
team fiftieth, percentile median outcome STEADY bottom four d jack.

1406
01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:14,239
Of all trades everything, looks good enough but probably won't

1407
01:12:14,279 --> 01:12:16,159
ever be the best defenseman on his team or the

1408
01:12:16,199 --> 01:12:19,199
best prospect. In the pipeline may take some injuries. To

1409
01:12:19,239 --> 01:12:25,159
get Opportunities Stylistic, comparable rasmus anderson, boring but effective and

1410
01:12:25,359 --> 01:12:28,039
his final thoughts actually wonders if his past Irrelevance, As

1411
01:12:28,079 --> 01:12:31,840
a jackson Lacomb or brock. Faber type path obviously those

1412
01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:34,920
guys BOTH, went In caa but jeremy could see him

1413
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:36,520
being the next man up for a few years and

1414
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:39,640
then suddenly just being an effective twenty plus minute guy

1415
01:12:40,039 --> 01:12:43,199
with power play time after someone misses time and he

1416
01:12:43,319 --> 01:12:47,199
never lets go of. That ROSTER spot The Nhl ranking

1417
01:12:47,239 --> 01:12:50,960
Mason Black put luca Morelli up Against leo salin WALLENIUS

1418
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:55,920
as a, d Men matchup and morelli wins this one

1419
01:12:56,039 --> 01:12:59,560
victor sixty three. To thirty seven what do you SAY

1420
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:01,960
for the Cbj. Versus, The shark.

1421
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:07,119
Speaker 7: Yeah i'm definitely GONNA take this cbj. Than this, one but,

1422
01:13:07,279 --> 01:13:10,520
really you know he's. Looking REALLY good and i mentioned

1423
01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:13,439
some of his underlying Stats to MISS brown the. Fhl

1424
01:13:13,479 --> 01:13:17,600
player cards there's definitely some really, strong numbers there and

1425
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:19,119
it is true.

1426
01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:19,960
Speaker 3: That he's playing in a little bit of.

1427
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:23,359
Speaker 7: A Weaker, league selena millennius though he's not a similar

1428
01:13:23,399 --> 01:13:27,039
mold an offensive defenseman that isn't overly dynamic, or exciting

1429
01:13:27,119 --> 01:13:30,800
offensively and a little, bit weaker defensively so you know

1430
01:13:31,239 --> 01:13:34,720
that prototype tends to sometimes have a hard time and

1431
01:13:34,880 --> 01:13:35,880
become more and more wary.

1432
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:39,880
Speaker 3: Of that, prototype, he does though. Have decent size, he's

1433
01:13:39,920 --> 01:13:42,920
six feets so sometimes when they're, five to eleven, five

1434
01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:44,960
to ten that can make, a huge difference but at least.

1435
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:48,960
He's Six foot selena millennius also did play in three

1436
01:13:49,119 --> 01:13:51,720
four different, leagues last year so that was probably also

1437
01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:54,920
didn't help him in some of. His underlying numbers he

1438
01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:58,000
PLAYED in the ja, TWENTY eight games, Shl Sixteen games

1439
01:13:58,079 --> 01:14:01,039
hokiels fenskin FOURTEEN games in, lega seven games so that's

1440
01:14:01,119 --> 01:14:01,319
going to.

1441
01:14:01,359 --> 01:14:03,720
Speaker 7: Make it CHALLENGING but when i LOOK at his, fhl

1442
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:07,199
player card there's a whole lot of red and, yellow

1443
01:14:07,399 --> 01:14:11,000
and purple which. IS not good i guess the purple,

1444
01:14:11,079 --> 01:14:13,239
is a category so, red and burgundy which. Is, not

1445
01:14:13,359 --> 01:14:15,159
good really the only things that were great.

1446
01:14:15,199 --> 01:14:17,439
Speaker 3: With his shots he. Shoots a lot his expected goals

1447
01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:19,520
and goals, were pretty high and so. We're his assists

1448
01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:23,199
but a lot of his, pre shot, passes past, attempts accurate, passes,

1449
01:14:23,319 --> 01:14:28,840
possession takeaways, hits buck battles, one loose, buck recovery breakouts

1450
01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:33,439
and transition game we're all. Pretty pretty awful so all,

1451
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:36,720
THAT to say i would Definitely Rather have, luca MORELLI

1452
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:38,840
here and i think that he can transition to be

1453
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:42,159
A more effective NHLer and we'll see HIM, in THE

1454
01:14:42,199 --> 01:14:42,880
ahl so i like.

1455
01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:45,319
Speaker 7: To see THAT not that i am Completely Down On.

1456
01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:48,079
LEO selene molnius i just think he needs to play

1457
01:14:48,079 --> 01:14:50,399
in one league consistently and then we'll see what, happens

1458
01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:53,680
after that maybe he can, shift some perception but, as

1459
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:58,279
of Now really like morelli. In this pole looking at

1460
01:14:58,359 --> 01:15:01,399
the hockey prospect in, Between the two morelli increased his

1461
01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:03,880
star potential from nine to fifteen Percent in his draft,

1462
01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:07,279
Plus One season selene millennius went from, fifteen to eleven

1463
01:15:07,359 --> 01:15:11,159
so they almost. Reversed positions, there so Yeah Definitely liking

1464
01:15:11,239 --> 01:15:12,359
louca morelli.

1465
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:14,439
Speaker 3: And some other.

1466
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:17,359
Speaker 7: COMPS for, him i mean there's it's really tricky because

1467
01:15:17,399 --> 01:15:19,800
there aren't like the. Most amazing comps there's a whole

1468
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:23,119
lot of guys who didn't make it. Or replacement, levels

1469
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:26,239
you Know There's a zach jones comp here who hasn't

1470
01:15:26,279 --> 01:15:29,800
been able. To Translate It Stefan robodas yannick weber is

1471
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:32,199
a guy who maybe works a little bit just in

1472
01:15:32,359 --> 01:15:33,680
terms OF was an ohl guy.

1473
01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:36,760
Speaker 3: HAD similar Numbers I think locum morelly looks a little bit,

1474
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:38,960
Better than that so hopefully he can Beat that comp

1475
01:15:39,479 --> 01:15:41,640
and then looking At the, j fresh card seven percent

1476
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:44,359
chance of being a star at seventy seventy six percent

1477
01:15:44,439 --> 01:15:46,520
chance OF being an nhl or so At least that

1478
01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:49,000
NHLer part is. Pretty optimistic there.

1479
01:15:49,079 --> 01:15:54,760
Speaker 4: Jesse and victor who is to keep. Your eye on.

1480
01:15:56,399 --> 01:15:58,600
Speaker 7: Keep your Eye On is jordan dume twenty twenty two

1481
01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:01,960
to third round pick. Ninety six Overall he was i'm

1482
01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:03,800
pretty sure he was five nine when. He was drafted

1483
01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:06,319
he's still, five to nine and that's a big part of.

1484
01:16:06,359 --> 01:16:10,960
The narrative Here, unfortunately for dumay, he's a small undersized

1485
01:16:11,039 --> 01:16:13,960
winger who has TRANSITIONED.

1486
01:16:13,960 --> 01:16:15,079
Speaker 3: To the ahl he WAS his.

1487
01:16:15,159 --> 01:16:17,800
Speaker 7: First ahl season he had eleven points in, twenty one

1488
01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:20,560
games including some mid time miss. Due to, injury you

1489
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:21,159
know roughly half.

1490
01:16:21,199 --> 01:16:21,520
Speaker 3: Point per.

1491
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:24,199
Speaker 7: GAMES pretty good i like. To see that looking at his,

1492
01:16:24,279 --> 01:16:26,199
OFFICIAL player card i have him as a five point

1493
01:16:26,239 --> 01:16:28,319
four or five just forty five percent chance of being an.

1494
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:31,039
Average roster player part of it is. Because you look

1495
01:16:31,079 --> 01:16:32,680
when you look at, his underlying numbers a lot of

1496
01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:35,560
them are. Really not great he's struggling. To create offense

1497
01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:38,119
he doesn't really. HIT or block i mean he doesn't

1498
01:16:38,119 --> 01:16:39,800
really hit or shoot very. Much at all he does

1499
01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:41,960
actually block, a fair amount which is kind of confusing for,

1500
01:16:42,079 --> 01:16:44,520
a small guy but his bash is going to. BE

1501
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:47,199
really weak a lot of his play driving. Numbers are

1502
01:16:47,319 --> 01:16:50,399
weak he doesn't really do anything else. Of peripheral value

1503
01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:52,239
so if, he's not scoring he's, not doing much and

1504
01:16:52,359 --> 01:16:53,960
he was scoring a fair amount this YEAR, in the

1505
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:56,680
ahl so we'll see if he. Can improve that he

1506
01:16:56,720 --> 01:16:57,840
did struggle at times though.

1507
01:16:57,880 --> 01:16:59,880
Speaker 3: In the league let's hear a little Bit more About

1508
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:03,279
jordan d May from. A, Victil, Scout Jessie Yeah.

1509
01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:05,800
Speaker 4: Victor jordan dumay i've been rooting for him for. A

1510
01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:09,800
long time jeremy has. This to say the skating, is

1511
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:13,479
high end both. Fast and quick jeremy worries about his strength.

1512
01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:15,640
On the skates didn't see we get much of a

1513
01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:17,760
chance to see, that from him but, at his size

1514
01:17:18,119 --> 01:17:21,199
wouldn't be surprised if. That's an issue passing and handling

1515
01:17:21,279 --> 01:17:26,000
good hands and tight and. Passing is adequate shot is the,

1516
01:17:26,119 --> 01:17:28,600
best asset though shooting on the rush or. From any

1517
01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:32,000
angle he's got IT. Covered the iq the offensive instincts,

1518
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:34,920
are very good constantly getting too dangerous areas, of the

1519
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,800
ice and is a. Leader in transition this may have

1520
01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:41,279
some negative effect on, his, defensive game though For checking

1521
01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:45,199
a harrying four checker who uses his speed and tenacity

1522
01:17:45,319 --> 01:17:48,560
to hound defenseman. AND win battles i think he'll, be Very.

1523
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:51,600
Valuable says jeremy, in the corners if he can, make

1524
01:17:51,640 --> 01:17:54,560
the show the defense leaves a bit, to be desired

1525
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:57,600
though often waving his ticket guys going past him or.

1526
01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:00,279
Not manning up he also likes to fly. His own

1527
01:18:00,319 --> 01:18:02,399
early if he can, team those habits he'll be able

1528
01:18:02,479 --> 01:18:05,359
to stay on. The ice more the best asset then

1529
01:18:05,439 --> 01:18:08,439
the shot thinks he can be a, high end finisher

1530
01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:14,319
especially in combination. With his speed the biggest concern lack.

1531
01:18:14,399 --> 01:18:17,279
Of impact defensively really a straight line player looking. For

1532
01:18:17,399 --> 01:18:21,560
fast Breaks from, what jeremy's seen top tier, outcome toppling winger,

1533
01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:25,760
top line winger, but not elite maybe needs, a sheltered

1534
01:18:26,199 --> 01:18:29,199
role and that's because he's got the hands and the

1535
01:18:29,279 --> 01:18:32,159
speed and the instincts to be a. Constant scoring threat

1536
01:18:33,159 --> 01:18:36,279
the median, Outcome. Really great ahler if he can't round,

1537
01:18:36,319 --> 01:18:39,279
out his game he's gonna see deployment and Team Changes

1538
01:18:39,319 --> 01:18:42,720
like Daniel Sprong Or alex Barry Bulet. Or chris bork

1539
01:18:43,159 --> 01:18:47,880
stylistic Comparable Going with cam, Atkinson and overall jeremy says

1540
01:18:47,880 --> 01:18:49,720
he's struggling to find a player of his stature and

1541
01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:54,600
skill set Who succeeded every comparabowle was either well more

1542
01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:57,079
well rounded OR had, that it factor like he's not

1543
01:18:57,159 --> 01:19:00,239
as Offensively Gifted as Cole kawfield Or alex the rink

1544
01:19:00,279 --> 01:19:03,560
it as Well Rounded as Brad Marshawan. Or jonathan marcias

1545
01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:07,279
so Not Even a Logan Stankovin or jonathan drewant just

1546
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:09,800
gonna have a really tough time making it because the

1547
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:13,159
defensive game looked even less engaged this YEAR in the

1548
01:19:13,199 --> 01:19:17,399
ahl than When he watched jeremy watched him TEAR up

1549
01:19:17,399 --> 01:19:22,000
the whl the. Two Years Ago and mason black put

1550
01:19:22,039 --> 01:19:26,239
Out The poll Justin Dumay versus justin pourier Of The,

1551
01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:32,239
drafted Bland hurricanes and Dumay nudges out pourier fifty two to. Forty,

1552
01:19:32,319 --> 01:19:34,199
eight percent victor what, do you.

1553
01:19:34,199 --> 01:19:34,520
Speaker 2: THINK.

1554
01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:40,880
Speaker 7: Oh man i would like to plead the. Fifth, Take,

1555
01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:45,199
NEITHER no seriously i think that both of these guys are.

1556
01:19:45,279 --> 01:19:47,640
GONNA have ischi i think this is a Perfect comp

1557
01:19:47,680 --> 01:19:51,000
by mason because they're. Both, small guys poier in case

1558
01:19:51,079 --> 01:19:53,760
you're now remembering his five to eight he was Drafted

1559
01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:56,000
by the hurricanes in, the fifth round and if he

1560
01:19:56,359 --> 01:19:58,600
WAS six feet i have no doubt he would have

1561
01:19:58,600 --> 01:20:01,520
gone in the first round because he he had awesome numbers.

1562
01:20:01,560 --> 01:20:03,680
In the queue he was well over point per game in.

1563
01:20:03,760 --> 01:20:06,359
His draft season he was well over point per.

1564
01:20:06,399 --> 01:20:06,560
Speaker 2: Game.

1565
01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:09,680
Speaker 7: This season again he's Transferring to The. University of maine

1566
01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:12,479
hopefully that's, good FOR him and i think he's. A

1567
01:20:12,479 --> 01:20:14,720
great player he does have a lot of positives. To

1568
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:16,039
his game he's not a.

1569
01:20:16,199 --> 01:20:20,239
Speaker 3: TOTAL liability defensively i think, he tries hard He's just

1570
01:20:20,399 --> 01:20:23,199
not he's not very physical and he struggles with some,

1571
01:20:23,319 --> 01:20:25,239
of the physicality so a little be interesting to see

1572
01:20:25,239 --> 01:20:26,119
what HAPPENS at.

1573
01:20:26,159 --> 01:20:28,840
Speaker 7: The NAA level but i think both these guys are

1574
01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:31,520
guys that do to their size and their lack of

1575
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:34,039
ability to get to the. INSIDE and, defense i mean

1576
01:20:34,079 --> 01:20:36,600
we've heard some Positives about the maine's game along the

1577
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:37,800
boards in.

1578
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:40,359
Speaker 3: The FORE check but i just think that both of

1579
01:20:40,359 --> 01:20:40,880
these guys are.

1580
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:43,479
Speaker 7: Going TO struggle so I guess if i had to choose,

1581
01:20:43,600 --> 01:20:45,920
ONE of them i Would probably choose prie just because

1582
01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:47,359
of The funnel theory jesse and he.

1583
01:20:47,439 --> 01:20:50,960
Speaker 3: Has not as far along and so maybe he will

1584
01:20:52,439 --> 01:20:54,880
be able to push the limit a. Little bit more

1585
01:20:55,239 --> 01:20:57,119
i'm not sure if five eight or five nine makes.

1586
01:20:57,159 --> 01:20:59,279
The huge difference in terms, of the height they're. Both

1587
01:20:59,319 --> 01:21:01,760
really underside if one was five ten and five nine,

1588
01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:03,680
it might matter or five eleven and five ten. It

1589
01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:06,600
might matter but five eight, And, Five mine unfortunately i'm

1590
01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:09,720
not sure makes too much. Of a, DIFFERENCE so yeah

1591
01:21:09,720 --> 01:21:10,039
i Would.

1592
01:21:10,079 --> 01:21:13,279
Speaker 7: Probably go quarriya looking at the hockey prospecting, between these

1593
01:21:13,319 --> 01:21:17,039
two du may graduated the model this year at twenty

1594
01:21:17,119 --> 01:21:20,840
percent chance of. Being a star parriya went actually down

1595
01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:23,319
BECAUSE of the q scoring be a, little bit undervalued

1596
01:21:23,359 --> 01:21:25,760
went from fifteen. To six percent so he's going to

1597
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:27,760
have to really raise that star potential by having a

1598
01:21:27,840 --> 01:21:30,439
monster in c doblea season or two to really get.

1599
01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:33,600
Speaker 3: Back on track looking at some of the all.

1600
01:21:33,479 --> 01:21:38,840
Speaker 7: Around Numbers, for justin paryer it actually looks pretty reassuring

1601
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:44,439
in terms, of his shots, his expected, goals his, goals

1602
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:47,920
his assists pre shot passes, to the, slot accurate passes

1603
01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:51,199
all these things look really. Good for him in terms of,

1604
01:21:51,279 --> 01:21:53,600
his peripheral coverage he's a little bit above average for,

1605
01:21:53,680 --> 01:21:55,800
blocks and hits. So that's nice and his shots are

1606
01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:58,640
high so his bash is. Actually really good some of

1607
01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:01,039
his play driving is a little bit subparo EVEN for

1608
01:22:01,119 --> 01:22:03,319
the q which is concerning his, fenwick is high but

1609
01:22:03,399 --> 01:22:06,560
his net expected, goals is low and his course and

1610
01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:09,319
puck battles won and loose puck recovery or all just

1611
01:22:09,399 --> 01:22:11,399
a little, bit above average which he would want a.

1612
01:22:11,439 --> 01:22:12,279
Speaker 3: Top prospect to be.

1613
01:22:12,439 --> 01:22:16,479
Speaker 7: Well above average on, The other hand party's transition game,

1614
01:22:16,600 --> 01:22:18,319
is REALLY good so i like.

1615
01:22:18,399 --> 01:22:20,560
Speaker 3: To see that in terms of.

1616
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:25,640
Speaker 7: Some Other Comps, FOR jordan dumay i guess if everything played,

1617
01:22:25,680 --> 01:22:28,159
out really well some of his numbers do look Similar. To,

1618
01:22:28,239 --> 01:22:32,199
gab vallardi vallardi of course had different issues coming up putting,

1619
01:22:32,239 --> 01:22:35,039
the back injury but he's much taller, six foot three

1620
01:22:35,159 --> 01:22:35,840
so he.

1621
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:36,479
Speaker 3: Didn't have to deal.

1622
01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:40,760
Speaker 7: With those concerns but IN terms Of i think jeremy

1623
01:22:40,840 --> 01:22:44,560
laid out the other comps in terms of guys, of

1624
01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:47,239
SIMILAR size and i. Agree with him he doesn't have

1625
01:22:47,399 --> 01:22:51,279
the dynamic offense that some Of The smaller cole Coffield

1626
01:22:51,359 --> 01:22:55,199
Or even Johnny Gudroau had that dumay just doesn't. Quite

1627
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:57,079
get there, but you know maybe he can put it

1628
01:22:57,079 --> 01:22:59,279
all together with a little bit more tenacity and off

1629
01:22:59,359 --> 01:23:02,359
puck and maybe he can be a. Solid MIDDLE sixer

1630
01:23:03,079 --> 01:23:04,640
but i have a little bit less.

1631
01:23:04,680 --> 01:23:05,680
Speaker 3: Faith in that in.

1632
01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:08,520
Speaker 7: Terms Of the, j fresh card also a little less

1633
01:23:08,560 --> 01:23:11,560
faith as we tend to see from him three percent

1634
01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:13,600
chance of, being a star twenty one percent chance of,

1635
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:17,279
being an ntler so as we come to expect a little.

1636
01:23:17,279 --> 01:23:20,359
Speaker 3: Bit more pessimistic that's It For The columbus. Blue jacket's

1637
01:23:20,359 --> 01:23:20,720
stake If.

1638
01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:22,079
