Speaker 1: Here's your hosts, Jesse Sevier and Victor Nuno.

6
00:00:24,679 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: Fantasy Hockey Lives back once again, this time with the

7
00:00:28,719 --> 00:00:32,799
man Back is glorious return from Los Angeles, the Fantasy

8
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,960
Hockey Doctor, Victor Nuno.

9
00:00:35,039 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 3: How are you doing, Victor?

10
00:00:37,039 --> 00:00:39,719
Speaker 4: Oh, that was quite the trip, I see. It was fun,

11
00:00:40,119 --> 00:00:43,640
it was hot, It was not as crowded as you

12
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,520
would have liked. The draft was an experience. But I'm

13
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,079
glad to be back. I'm glad to be talking to

14
00:00:48,119 --> 00:00:49,359
you again. How you doing, my friend?

15
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 3: Good? Yeah, I was watching on TV and it seems

16
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,960
to shoot, they looked like their seats I could just

17
00:00:55,039 --> 00:00:57,479
go down and sit forty rows back or something if

18
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,240
I wanted a middle seat or something. That's what it

19
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,399
felt like when I was watching it anyway, But I

20
00:01:01,439 --> 00:01:04,959
don't know if that was accurate. That wasn't media row though,

21
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,280
that would be a fan seating.

22
00:01:06,439 --> 00:01:09,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, there were definitely some open seats, and especially on

23
00:01:09,719 --> 00:01:13,319
day two, it really thinned out and there were quite

24
00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:17,239
quite a bit of open area, and yeah, not as

25
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,400
many fans as you would like, certainly not as many

26
00:01:20,599 --> 00:01:24,359
team and NHL people, but there were certainly. The first

27
00:01:24,439 --> 00:01:27,359
day was so felt pretty lively, especially for the first

28
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,640
hour or two. By about the seventh hour it thinned

29
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:30,319
out quite a bit.

30
00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, listening to podcasts this week, all that's happened

31
00:01:35,159 --> 00:01:38,000
is everybody's just beating on the draft and the presentation

32
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,040
of it. Yeah, the Vegas one was so good, in

33
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,439
this one was so panned. Of course the people, the

34
00:01:43,519 --> 00:01:46,599
journalists going to it did not enjoy these changes, so

35
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,560
that probably helps drive the narrative, but a warranted one, nonetheless,

36
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,280
if you want to talk about that narrative, or frankly,

37
00:01:54,319 --> 00:01:57,519
any narrative that you have about hockey, because free agency

38
00:01:57,599 --> 00:02:01,159
has just struck with a vengeance and we're trying to

39
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,640
If you haven't been as tuned into these prospects and

40
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,040
you're in dynasty, now's the time to learn them all.

41
00:02:07,519 --> 00:02:10,520
You can get in our discord where discussions like this

42
00:02:10,599 --> 00:02:13,879
are going on, and to do that, just to ask

43
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,719
us for the email address Fantasy Hockey Life at gmail

44
00:02:16,759 --> 00:02:19,360
dot com. We'll get you in and you'll be able

45
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,080
to participate yourself. It's free and it's fun and Victor,

46
00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:26,400
in addition to the discord, there are other things that

47
00:02:26,439 --> 00:02:28,840
people can participate in. What are they?

48
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, we have lots of great extra content. Our website

49
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:36,680
has some really cool tools that you can look at.

50
00:02:37,159 --> 00:02:40,759
I've just been working with Brandon, our web guru, and

51
00:02:41,159 --> 00:02:43,919
making all kinds of improvements of the website. You can

52
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,080
sort by different draft years, by different positions. You can

53
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,560
look at puckstud ratings, which are my ratings in terms

54
00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:53,120
of prospect ranks. You can look at bash per sixty

55
00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:55,759
versus points per sixty, which is something really valuable that

56
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,439
we'll talk about later on this episode. So all kinds

57
00:02:58,439 --> 00:03:01,560
of cool stuff and including players cards that track peripheral

58
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,280
participation in peripheral categories for these players. All of that

59
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,960
through Patreon dot com slash Fantasy Hockey Life.

60
00:03:09,719 --> 00:03:17,599
Speaker 3: We'll be right back, Doctor Raft, Victor. We've put out

61
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:21,080
the call to our patrons to tell us what kind

62
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,919
of questions they had about draft and draft prospects, and

63
00:03:24,039 --> 00:03:27,080
boy howdy did they come through. And since you are

64
00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:30,199
fresh off all of this, I think it's time for

65
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,159
us to ask some of these questions. We may intersperse.

66
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,960
You had so many good interviews. Some of them came

67
00:03:36,039 --> 00:03:38,840
up in the last episode. I pasted them in. But

68
00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:42,520
we might also have some interviews from prospects that you

69
00:03:42,919 --> 00:03:45,199
were able to record, or some audio with some of

70
00:03:45,199 --> 00:03:48,919
the prospects you were able to record and intersperse it here.

71
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,360
But we have a long list of questions. Are you ready?

72
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:55,120
Have you hydrated? Are you ready to talk about all

73
00:03:55,159 --> 00:03:56,759
these different prospects one more time?

74
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 5: Here?

75
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,159
Speaker 4: I am rested, hydrated and ready. Let's do it.

76
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,639
Speaker 3: Good, because you're going to do the talking here. I'm

77
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,120
going to this. The format is I read the question,

78
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,599
mispronounced the name, and then Victor gives knowledge. That's all

79
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,040
shows format, but especially today, we're starting though with the

80
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,680
very easiest question of them all. Why is it Michael

81
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,399
Misa over Matthew Shaffer at the top?

82
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:27,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a great question. And I think if you

83
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,759
have the number one overall pick, you might be struggling

84
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,399
with this a little bit, and I think it is

85
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,879
something worth discussing. Not everyone has that luxury, but you

86
00:04:35,959 --> 00:04:38,600
might either be trading for this pick or think about

87
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:42,000
pursuing it. I don't think you can necessarily go wrong,

88
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,680
and I can see the argument for value over replacement.

89
00:04:44,759 --> 00:04:47,720
Taking Matthew Shaffer, Who's going to be awesome. I have

90
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,720
no doubt about that. He is going to be a

91
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,040
number one defenseman. He's going to be your all situations

92
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,199
kind of guy, and that's super valuable. I do think

93
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,000
he has significant offense. I do think he will probably

94
00:05:00,079 --> 00:05:02,360
run the power play, especially now that they traded Dobson,

95
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,279
but it could be keasehaon Ahison, it could be someone else.

96
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,720
You never know. But I do think that Schaeffer is

97
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,360
going to be that guy. But I'm not convinced that

98
00:05:11,439 --> 00:05:15,879
he's super dynamic in terms of offense. Plus he's even

99
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,160
if it does work out really well, I think Schaefer

100
00:05:18,399 --> 00:05:22,319
is an all situations, strong bash fifty ish point guy,

101
00:05:22,399 --> 00:05:26,000
which is valuable, you know, and maybe he maybe there's more,

102
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,199
maybe he's sixty points, but I'm not convinced that he's

103
00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:35,720
like peak Eric Carlson type or frastmus Dealen or something

104
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,279
like that. I don't think he's quite at that level.

105
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,879
And so it comes down to for me, Michael Misa

106
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:47,600
is elite point per game, strong perfs everything like everything

107
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:50,519
you would want, and you're super high upside forward point

108
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,560
per game plus like maybe even ninety two one hundred

109
00:05:53,639 --> 00:05:56,480
kind of guy if it all breaks right. And so

110
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,360
I think that upside is more significant and more substance Anchel,

111
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,079
just in terms of the impact to your team. And

112
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,639
so that's why I would go Misa, especially because he

113
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,319
is a strong two way forward, but also he has

114
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,959
more offense. He has he leans that way. They have Celebrini,

115
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,240
who is already going to be the number one center,

116
00:06:15,319 --> 00:06:18,600
so he can Lisa can focus more on being more offensive.

117
00:06:18,759 --> 00:06:21,160
He will certainly be on that power play for the Sharks,

118
00:06:21,639 --> 00:06:24,759
and I could see the situation where in many ways

119
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,560
I view the situation in San Jose similar to Crosby

120
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,360
and Malkin for the Penguins. So you have I think

121
00:06:32,399 --> 00:06:34,920
Celebrini is more like Crosby, and I think Lisa is

122
00:06:34,959 --> 00:06:37,199
more like Malkin. Now it's not a perfect comparison. I'm

123
00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:38,959
not saying that they're gonna have two Hall of Famers.

124
00:06:38,959 --> 00:06:40,879
It's too early in the career to say anything like that,

125
00:06:41,399 --> 00:06:44,720
but I think it's like that where Malkin was certainly

126
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,439
more of an offensive guy and Crosby is certainly excellent

127
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,560
for points, but more of an all around guy. And

128
00:06:50,639 --> 00:06:53,879
so I think even though one's a number one ones

129
00:06:53,959 --> 00:06:56,800
and number two, they're basically both number one centers essentially,

130
00:06:57,319 --> 00:06:59,600
and they're gonna get tons of minutes and tons of points.

131
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,839
And so I just like that For Mesa. I like

132
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,560
him a little bit more. I think he's more impactful

133
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,639
for your team. But I'm not going to dig my

134
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,759
heels in and say you're wrong for taking Shaeffer, because

135
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,879
I don't think that's the case. I think either decision

136
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,759
is right, and you might base it on your team.

137
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,879
If you're a team that has no good defense and

138
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,000
you have the number one overall pick tick Schaeffer, that's fine,

139
00:07:18,079 --> 00:07:18,800
you'll be fine.

140
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 3: Well, now might be a good opportunity. I'm gonna intersperse

141
00:07:23,079 --> 00:07:28,079
in here, inter interject, inject, whatever it is. Victor, Michael Misa,

142
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,879
Matthew Shaffer. You got good interviews with both of these

143
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,240
guys or good audio discussions with them. So let's hear

144
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,519
right from mister Lisa and then mister Shaffer.

145
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 5: After three year and junior, HOWK team, you feel you're

146
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,600
ready for the next guy form? Yeah, my goal next

147
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,519
year is playing the NHL. I got a big summer

148
00:07:47,519 --> 00:07:50,319
ahead of me. You gotta get stronger, just help myself

149
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,639
on him off the ice. But yeah, it's Michael last year.

150
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,079
Speaker 4: When you look out yourself last year and see Macklin's

151
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,759
labriny go number one, you're here number.

152
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 6: Two with the same team. Does that excite you to

153
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,600
see that guy being a potential player that you're gonna

154
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:01,920
play with.

155
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's a heck of a player.

156
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,959
Speaker 5: Just being lexy watch him this year, learn stuff off

157
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,439
his game, and I'm really excited to meet him in there.

158
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 7: Why do you think you're ready to play in the

159
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,519
NHL next year. I think that's for my game to decide.

160
00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:14,800
I got to prove myself.

161
00:08:14,839 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 5: But I believe when I'm not my best, I'm making

162
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:17,480
guys around me better.

163
00:08:17,519 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 6: I think I played with good offensive ability.

164
00:08:19,519 --> 00:08:20,319
Speaker 7: We'll see what opposite.

165
00:08:20,399 --> 00:08:23,759
Speaker 6: You're a game with John Tavaris, What do you make

166
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:24,160
of us?

167
00:08:24,839 --> 00:08:25,959
Speaker 7: That's pretty incredible.

168
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,399
Speaker 5: He's just one heck of a player, So to be

169
00:08:27,439 --> 00:08:29,920
able to get compared to him, it's pretty cool. I

170
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,039
think I play like him in a way a bit,

171
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:34,799
just offensively, like his puck protection is shot. I can

172
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,360
see myself relating to him a little bit.

173
00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:38,919
Speaker 4: Like you mentioned that your goal is to play in

174
00:08:38,919 --> 00:08:40,879
the NHL next year. What are the next two months

175
00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:44,000
look like for you in terms of giving you yourself

176
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,279
the best chance to do that?

177
00:08:45,399 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 5: I guess yeah. I think just training, making sure my

178
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,639
body is right, got a good condition, because you gotta

179
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,960
be a good condition to play in the NHL, And ultimately,

180
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,320
I think whatever does happen, I'm gonna be ready for

181
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:55,879
me in camp.

182
00:08:55,919 --> 00:08:59,879
Speaker 4: And he mentioned a couple other guys and the truck's organized.

183
00:09:00,159 --> 00:09:03,159
What have they told you about the pro life and

184
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,200
what you need to do to be successful at that level?

185
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 7: That's good question. I just it's like your job basically,

186
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,000
danishell is your job.

187
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,159
Speaker 5: So you gotta just the daily habits you have every day,

188
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,480
coming to the right, going to get better.

189
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 7: Is going to be here?

190
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 5: Should staying, staying longer? Just learning stuff off guys. I

191
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,200
think it's gonna definitely help me.

192
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:19,279
Speaker 7: Is the college route?

193
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:20,519
Speaker 8: I have the question for you?

194
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 4: Is it the NHL or the OHL for you next year?

195
00:09:22,879 --> 00:09:23,159
And year?

196
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,919
Speaker 7: From what you just put your thought process is there right?

197
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 8: Yeah?

198
00:09:26,159 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 9: Yeah?

199
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,759
Speaker 5: My thought process is I want to make Sanada next year.

200
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 4: That's where I had that at Shaffer Silverall Pick to

201
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,080
the Islanders.

202
00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:37,919
Speaker 10: Off Fengratulations now that you're an Islander just you your

203
00:09:38,039 --> 00:09:40,320
thoughts on joining the team, the franchise, and going to

204
00:09:40,399 --> 00:09:43,039
New York. Yeah, it's such an honor, and especially be

205
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,759
the first overall pick and Matthew Darksh's first pick. So

206
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,159
happy for him to get the GM job and very

207
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,879
honored to be his pick. But I've heard so many

208
00:09:49,879 --> 00:09:53,279
great things about the organization, the team, the players. Yeah,

209
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,120
I know more more about really welly There are a

210
00:09:55,159 --> 00:09:57,080
lot of great things at three Leaders, and I heard

211
00:09:57,159 --> 00:09:59,600
they have a great room. They're very skilled players. So

212
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,360
I can't to get there this week and train. I'm

213
00:10:02,519 --> 00:10:04,840
looking forward to it a little too excited today.

214
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:06,799
Speaker 7: And how do you see the job?

215
00:10:06,919 --> 00:10:08,399
Speaker 6: Now you've been drafted.

216
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,399
Speaker 10: Now you're in an islander, right, the big job is

217
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,679
coming up for you. Right, it's only starting. It's only starting.

218
00:10:15,799 --> 00:10:18,039
You're getting drafted. It's a good step in the process,

219
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,000
but it's just starting. And when things like this happen,

220
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,559
it's really good. But I want to go back to

221
00:10:22,639 --> 00:10:24,600
the gym and on the ice and train and work

222
00:10:24,639 --> 00:10:26,320
as start as I can. When this, when the end

223
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,519
of summer comes and the season comes, I'm ready to

224
00:10:28,759 --> 00:10:31,399
play at that NHL level. So now it's great on

225
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,200
enjoy to night obviously, though the work starts smart to

226
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,919
more is a new day drafts over, then you know

227
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,240
you're pretty working telling its work.

228
00:10:37,919 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 6: Number one peak to who much is getting much to required?

229
00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:42,279
What are the Islanders going to.

230
00:10:42,279 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 11: Get at you?

231
00:10:43,399 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 12: Yeah?

232
00:10:43,919 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 10: Obviously on the ice, I think of a lot of

233
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,840
you guys have seen me in my the whole season,

234
00:10:47,879 --> 00:10:50,679
I played only seventeen games. Yeah, obviously the on ice

235
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,639
ability A two A defenseman, I can play in all

236
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,960
three zones, PKPP, whatever the coach you need to play.

237
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,679
But I would be at two eight defenseman. I could

238
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,440
play all around and then off face. Obviously. I like

239
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,759
to get involved in the community, whether it's going to

240
00:11:02,799 --> 00:11:05,159
skate with kids. I'm still seventeen years old. I honestly

241
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,000
still a kid too, just doing that, giving back to

242
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,759
the community, doing a lot of foundations with everything with

243
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,879
my mom. I love doing foundations and I like to

244
00:11:11,919 --> 00:11:15,720
get involved in the community. Electra Yeah, but honestly leave

245
00:11:15,799 --> 00:11:17,399
on and off the ice, so I'm very I love

246
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,440
to talk. So if you're on an interview, I'm probably

247
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,519
talking to you for you think five minutes for maybe

248
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,639
an hours. Yeah, if you're on an India I'll always say,

249
00:11:23,639 --> 00:11:25,600
I do you all talk to you? Yeah, whether I'm

250
00:11:25,639 --> 00:11:27,679
in New York anywhere, you guys do so much and

251
00:11:28,039 --> 00:11:29,279
you guys put a lot of hard work, and I

252
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,159
think that people don't see that side, and we see

253
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,120
it of course with everything to give you this time

254
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:34,679
and it means.

255
00:11:34,519 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 6: A lot love side second, roum the congratulations.

256
00:11:37,759 --> 00:11:39,879
Speaker 10: Just first off, what is your message time on fans

257
00:11:39,919 --> 00:11:41,360
now that you are, you know, how excited are you

258
00:11:41,399 --> 00:11:42,559
going to get someone important to them?

259
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 12: And can go?

260
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,039
Speaker 10: Let's go you can, I'll take away.

261
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:47,279
Speaker 6: It's an honor.

262
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 10: I head all the Aisles fans here before taking pictures

263
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,120
with them. They're amazingly good chance so you can see

264
00:11:54,399 --> 00:11:57,759
how tight knit that group is with the fans to

265
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,679
everyone and they care so much. Which walk behind you

266
00:12:00,879 --> 00:12:03,039
when you're playing at home. So I can't wait to

267
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,080
get started. That's the biggest thing. I can't wait to

268
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,120
get started, and I can't wait for this long journey

269
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:07,399
you got.

270
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,519
Speaker 6: Well take a couple more right side front Rope. I'm Matthew.

271
00:12:10,799 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 9: A lot of rivalries in the mettro including the Rangers,

272
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:14,919
Devils Flyers.

273
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 6: Which team are you the most excited for to play?

274
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,120
A guest and did you have any extensive knowledge on

275
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,559
one of those teams I just listed.

276
00:12:22,879 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 10: I'm saying Rangers. I heard there's a big rivalry, so

277
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,639
I want to I want to play against the Rangers,

278
00:12:27,639 --> 00:12:29,440
and I want to beat them every time we play them,

279
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,000
so I know there's a I know there's a big rivalry.

280
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,480
So yeah, I heard they don't like Rangers fans as much.

281
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,399
So I think getting that extraly wins means a lot.

282
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,080
And let's pers back too. I'm excited. I'm excited to

283
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:40,799
hear about that ride.

284
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 3: The next question, Moose Knuckles asks us curious who guys

285
00:12:46,519 --> 00:12:49,080
think will be some late value picks that have great

286
00:12:49,159 --> 00:12:52,399
fantasy upside but might have some reasons for dropping. He

287
00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:57,120
compares to Riley Height, Andrew Christall, et cetera from past years.

288
00:13:00,039 --> 00:13:02,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a great question. We're all looking for this.

289
00:13:02,759 --> 00:13:05,080
I tell you, we were all talking about this at

290
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,440
the draft, and the reality is that there aren't really

291
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,799
a lot of great options after pick forty five or

292
00:13:12,879 --> 00:13:16,919
so in this draft. They're just it doesn't have the depth.

293
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,320
It doesn't have it doesn't have those Hike Kristals who

294
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,799
went later, who have tremendous upside. I'm going to give

295
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,480
you some names, but these are not anywhere near equivalent

296
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,960
to what we saw in previous drafts, so just keep

297
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,799
that in mind. Temporary expectations is what I would say.

298
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,799
There are some guys with some upside, but they're not

299
00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:39,159
super significant. So Lyndon Lakovich is someone that I like

300
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,919
a lot, and he fell primarily because his feet are

301
00:13:44,039 --> 00:13:47,840
the main issue, and so there's some upside and I

302
00:13:47,919 --> 00:13:50,519
think that he can probably figure it out, but there's

303
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:56,159
gonna be there's gonna be some questions there. And Alexander Zarovsky,

304
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,519
I think he's just really raw. He went to Montreal,

305
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:05,519
Lakovich went to Washington. Zerowsky is really raw but has

306
00:14:05,759 --> 00:14:07,679
a ton of talent. I think that's a great pick

307
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,399
for Montreal. He's someone who we don't know what he's

308
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,159
going to be because he didn't really play in the

309
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,519
kit in the KHL, so he's just toying with MHL guys.

310
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,919
So that could be a really good one. See if

311
00:14:20,919 --> 00:14:26,559
you can translate that to professional ranks. Mateo Nobert is

312
00:14:26,639 --> 00:14:30,519
someone that Vegas took in the fourth and or sorry,

313
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:30,960
the third.

314
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:32,279
Speaker 2: I like him.

315
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,279
Speaker 4: I like a few of these guys I like because

316
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,519
they're really late birthdates, and no Bert is an August

317
00:14:38,559 --> 00:14:41,120
twelfth birthdays. You're talking like a month away from being

318
00:14:41,159 --> 00:14:44,720
available for next year's draft, and so there's a long

319
00:14:44,799 --> 00:14:50,000
runway here for development. His skating is also a bit problematic,

320
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,679
but he certainly has some really good vision and he

321
00:14:54,799 --> 00:14:57,519
sees the ice really well, thinks it really well, and

322
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,879
I think that processing speed can make up for it,

323
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,120
and plus he can improve his skating. So I like

324
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:09,000
no Bird a lot. I also like Ethan Zata Czata.

325
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:17,519
He's another one who I think can improve his upside

326
00:15:17,559 --> 00:15:21,360
a little bit. A lot of these guys have skating issues,

327
00:15:21,399 --> 00:15:24,039
which is both the easiest thing to fix but also

328
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,799
can be really problematic in terms of how much they like,

329
00:15:28,919 --> 00:15:31,039
how much they can actually improve it, and whether that's

330
00:15:31,159 --> 00:15:34,720
eventually a strength. Zata went at the end of the

331
00:15:35,519 --> 00:15:40,879
second to Tampa, so I really like him as well.

332
00:15:41,039 --> 00:15:43,279
He's also a bit of a late birthday, not super late.

333
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,679
He's in I guess late end of May, so he

334
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,679
still has a lot of room to grow and to improve.

335
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,679
A lot of these guys I like to because they're

336
00:15:50,759 --> 00:15:53,639
pretty smart and they can see the ice well, and

337
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:59,320
a lot of that can overcome the difficult skating. William

338
00:15:59,399 --> 00:16:03,960
Moore is another one who the NTDP who's so bad

339
00:16:04,039 --> 00:16:07,480
this year. In fact, no NTDP guys were taking in

340
00:16:07,519 --> 00:16:09,440
the first round for the first time I think ever,

341
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,679
or for a very long time. There were a couple

342
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,919
of guys who played at the NTDP but then moved

343
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,840
to the CHL or NCAA who were taken, but none

344
00:16:17,879 --> 00:16:19,720
of the guys who finished at the NTDP were taken

345
00:16:19,759 --> 00:16:21,919
in the first and then a whole slew of them

346
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,559
win in the second, and so I would look at

347
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,559
those guys as value picks because even though they don't

348
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,080
tend to they're not always the highest upside. I think

349
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,559
the NTDP has a really strong track record of producing

350
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,840
NHLers and they really learned how to play and how

351
00:16:34,879 --> 00:16:38,000
to translate their game even if they're not super high upside.

352
00:16:38,559 --> 00:16:41,080
And will Moore is going to b C and that's

353
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,559
a really good landing spot for him. Boston also took him,

354
00:16:44,559 --> 00:16:46,879
which is fun, so he was really excited about heading

355
00:16:46,919 --> 00:16:50,600
to BC and then also being a Boston draft pick.

356
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,320
So all that's going to work out really well for him.

357
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,519
And I think Moore has some pretty significant upside, but

358
00:16:55,759 --> 00:16:57,879
part of the reason why he wasn't able to fully

359
00:16:57,919 --> 00:17:01,679
translate that was because the team or he didn't have

360
00:17:01,759 --> 00:17:05,720
a lot of quality around him in terms of his teammates.

361
00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:08,480
And so that's something that you could really see improve

362
00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:10,759
in college with some more strength. He's also a tall

363
00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:14,200
and lanky guy. He could definitely use a little bit

364
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,079
more strength and weight training time in the gym. That's

365
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,279
gonna happen. It's got a lot of skill. He sees

366
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:20,480
the ice really well. He definitely needs to work on

367
00:17:20,559 --> 00:17:23,000
his skating again. I think that there's some pretty good

368
00:17:23,079 --> 00:17:25,920
upside there with more Let's see who else said I

369
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,319
write down Tommy Lafrenier. The reason I like Lafrenier is

370
00:17:30,799 --> 00:17:33,000
he is just one of these dog on a bone

371
00:17:33,079 --> 00:17:35,319
kind of guys. He just every shift he gives it

372
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,640
his all. He's super He's a guy you just want

373
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,119
to root for and know. He's not related to Alexis

374
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,839
Lafarnier in case you're wondering, is spelled the same, but

375
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,680
no relation. And he was taken in the third by

376
00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:49,759
Enventon And he's just one of these guys that just

377
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,480
really works hard and has some pretty good hands too.

378
00:17:53,599 --> 00:17:57,000
Like they're not elite, but I think that he can

379
00:17:57,039 --> 00:17:59,839
probably realize a little bit more upside than what he

380
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,599
currently achieved. He has a little bit undersized, but he

381
00:18:04,839 --> 00:18:07,319
just is. He's a gamer, but he's the kind of

382
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,160
guy that's gonna earn tons of ice time a ton

383
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,279
of respects. So I like him. And the last one

384
00:18:11,319 --> 00:18:14,480
is Cole McKinney. So Cole McKinney was drafted by the

385
00:18:14,559 --> 00:18:18,640
Sharks in the end of the second and he has

386
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,319
a bit of an interesting structor. He's one of these

387
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,200
guys who played at the NTDP and had a pretty

388
00:18:24,279 --> 00:18:27,200
decent season. The numbers don't really pop off the page,

389
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,680
but he's a really he's a really smart player. He

390
00:18:29,839 --> 00:18:32,920
has good attention to detail, he's his size is good,

391
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,319
but again he didn't really pop off in terms of points.

392
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,599
And he's going to Michigan next year. So another guy

393
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,559
who can really improve his scoring next season. I would

394
00:18:43,599 --> 00:18:47,519
imagine with a lot of talent around him, And especially

395
00:18:47,559 --> 00:18:50,000
with these college guys, you see them translate off in

396
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,079
and then pop off in their D plus one season,

397
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:53,839
and I could really see that happening with more talent

398
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,519
and more structure and more time in the gym around them.

399
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,759
So those are the guys that I like, Lynn and Lakovich,

400
00:19:00,079 --> 00:19:04,359
Alex Zarowsky, Mateo No Bird, Ethan's at, William Moore, Tommy

401
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,720
Lefrenier and Cole McKinney. That was a lot of names, Jesse.

402
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,279
Speaker 3: And Laikovich. Believe we heard from him where you had

403
00:19:13,319 --> 00:19:16,799
some audio of him on the episode that came out Wednesday.

404
00:19:17,279 --> 00:19:19,359
But here's a little bit from Cole McKinney.

405
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 9: What would be the way to distract your dee for

406
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,240
shirtsmans to know who cooled McKinney Dodkins. Yeah, in six

407
00:19:31,279 --> 00:19:32,920
Swiss Army Knight planning. I can do a bit of

408
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,039
everything and do it very well.

409
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 2: Player.

410
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 6: I can play in all situations and contribute on both

411
00:19:36,799 --> 00:19:37,279
ends of the ice.

412
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 9: Cool You said, I'm spending the last few years in

413
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:41,920
the USHL and what's really helped.

414
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:42,839
Speaker 4: You get into this share today?

415
00:19:43,079 --> 00:19:45,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think my time with the NTDP was phenomenal.

416
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,039
Speaker 9: Obviously, lots of guys if you've been getting drafted from

417
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,000
there and especially in the USHL, like it's such a

418
00:19:50,039 --> 00:19:51,400
fun leak to play in and I had such a

419
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,279
great time there and my little brother will be playing

420
00:19:53,319 --> 00:19:55,599
on the Green Bay Gamblers next year. We attendered there

421
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,359
this fall. And I'm so excited. It's all being around

422
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,079
the USHL for sure for the next couple of seasons.

423
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:00,720
What advice did you give him or what advice do

424
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,839
you have for him right now? Yeah, I think lots

425
00:20:02,839 --> 00:20:04,640
of just keep having fun. Right it's gonna be a

426
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,759
super stressful year. Next year's first year in the NHL.

427
00:20:06,839 --> 00:20:08,559
But I have a couple buddies on that team that

428
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,480
he grew up with too, so I'm super excited for

429
00:20:10,559 --> 00:20:11,799
him and I think will do great.

430
00:20:11,839 --> 00:20:12,759
Speaker 6: I can't wait to see what happens.

431
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 10: I talked about what you did to get physically stronger

432
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,039
this year, like if you put on some good muscle.

433
00:20:16,799 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 4: From like January to the commerce year.

434
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I think the big thing is just

435
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,359
the training. I think GVN is the main thing for me.

436
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,240
It's the program I've been training with and the trainers

437
00:20:25,279 --> 00:20:27,240
there for the past two seasons, and I think over

438
00:20:27,279 --> 00:20:29,359
the past two or three years, I've put on thirty

439
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,319
pounds even upwards of that, and I think they've been

440
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:32,240
such a big help with that.

441
00:20:32,599 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 6: Everyone from Jackson Fry, Bryan.

442
00:20:34,799 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 9: Galvin, Joe Maloney, I mean everyone there, Jason Small, Dailey, like,

443
00:20:38,319 --> 00:20:39,839
everyone was such a huge help there for me and.

444
00:20:39,839 --> 00:20:42,039
Speaker 6: I couldn't thank them enough. How has that changed your game?

445
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean think especially just like you said, with

446
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,720
the physicality part, and that's such a big part of

447
00:20:46,759 --> 00:20:48,839
my game and I was able to really realize that

448
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,160
a lot this year, especially just being stronger on my feet,

449
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:51,759
that sort of thing.

450
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 6: So can you talk about your penalty killing. Yeah, that's

451
00:20:55,039 --> 00:20:56,119
something I take a lot of pride in.

452
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 9: I think for me, I try to find a way

453
00:20:58,039 --> 00:20:59,759
to help my team in any way I can, whether

454
00:20:59,799 --> 00:21:01,799
that's kind of they kill power play four on four

455
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,480
or five on five, whatever. I think that's something I

456
00:21:03,599 --> 00:21:05,200
take a lot of pride in, something I enjoyed.

457
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,279
Speaker 7: Doing a lot. So with the players you looked up

458
00:21:07,319 --> 00:21:08,000
to going.

459
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,599
Speaker 9: Up, yeah, I think the main guy from Muzspatrick Camby

460
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,400
from Chicago. He's the one I always idolized growing up.

461
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,039
And guys that I look at now a lot and

462
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,880
try to emulate my game is Vincent Trocheck, not even

463
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:18,400
years So.

464
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 10: How did you feel you You mentioned the strength aspect,

465
00:21:21,039 --> 00:21:22,920
but did you feel your game grow just in this

466
00:21:23,039 --> 00:21:23,559
past year.

467
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think offensively was the biggest change for me.

468
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 9: I think at the beginning of the year I wasn't

469
00:21:28,279 --> 00:21:29,960
made producing as much, and then the back hal of

470
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,079
the season, I think I really skyrocketed in that category

471
00:21:32,079 --> 00:21:33,680
and I think that was huge for me and was

472
00:21:33,759 --> 00:21:34,559
super fun season.

473
00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 6: I was very happy with the way it went.

474
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,319
Speaker 7: We were leading to like with my career of the Sharks,

475
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,519
maybe had the combine or Yeah.

476
00:21:40,519 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 6: They were great, super nice people. It wasn't too hard

477
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:43,160
on me.

478
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 9: So it was great and I had a great time

479
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:45,759
speaking with all of them, and I'm looking forward to

480
00:21:45,799 --> 00:21:46,319
seeing them soon.

481
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 6: So before it out, but yeah, yeah, I'm super excited.

482
00:21:49,319 --> 00:21:51,319
Speaker 9: I was just there for nine to ten days, so

483
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,279
this last month after the combined, it was great there.

484
00:21:53,319 --> 00:21:55,279
I met all the guys, skated, worked out with them.

485
00:21:55,319 --> 00:21:56,720
So it was a great time and I'm looking forward

486
00:21:56,759 --> 00:21:57,759
to Were.

487
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 7: You debating whether or not to build every day or

488
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:00,440
is it no question you were.

489
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,279
Speaker 6: Gott to compre's no question? Yeah, definitely.

490
00:22:02,559 --> 00:22:02,759
Speaker 4: Yeah.

491
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 9: You mentioned GV and I know there's a lot of

492
00:22:05,079 --> 00:22:07,559
current NHL guys who I guess worked out and escape

493
00:22:07,559 --> 00:22:10,319
there anyone that you would particularly like gravitate tour.

494
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 6: Like person or trainers players that are also there with you. Yeah,

495
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:14,759
I think so.

496
00:22:14,839 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 9: I'm training at the GVM back in Chicago, and there's

497
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,599
lots of guys there. One guy that went yes day

498
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:19,079
record leave.

499
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 1: I mean I did all my.

500
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 6: Combine training with him and stuff and there. It was incredible.

501
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 9: My little brother's able to do that with me too,

502
00:22:24,319 --> 00:22:26,359
and lots of my buddies I grew up playing with

503
00:22:26,519 --> 00:22:28,079
work out there and it's incredible and it's such a

504
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:28,880
great place to get better.

505
00:22:29,039 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 4: Is there someone from Chicago who's put sections out in

506
00:22:31,599 --> 00:22:32,599
and throughout your career like.

507
00:22:32,599 --> 00:22:33,599
Speaker 6: You hockey junior.

508
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,599
Speaker 9: There's lots of guys definitely at the Chicago Mission right.

509
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,759
There's so many great players that come through that organization.

510
00:22:39,079 --> 00:22:43,559
Gay Parole, Carter Slagger, Paul Fisher, Jack Divine like all

511
00:22:43,599 --> 00:22:45,279
those guys are so great to me and whenever I

512
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,160
needed advice on anything, they always there for me and

513
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:48,440
they've been such a big help for me.

514
00:22:48,599 --> 00:22:52,559
Speaker 3: Next question for you, Victor, and this is from Scott Detour,

515
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,839
which is awkward to say, but it's it's a cool name.

516
00:22:56,279 --> 00:23:00,160
Saw you have nest Razil much higher than Will Horcoffe are.

517
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,680
What you think of these big forwards compared to each other,

518
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,599
like those two plus Mason quarterback Mason West purposely leaving

519
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,480
out McQueen and Martina because their top ten type. Any

520
00:23:10,519 --> 00:23:13,640
others that fit the mold? Curious to hear a comparison.

521
00:23:16,079 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, great question. So part of the reason I'm not

522
00:23:19,519 --> 00:23:22,319
really high on Will Horcoff is that I just think

523
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,759
he's a bottom six guy, bottom six all thame, maybe

524
00:23:25,799 --> 00:23:27,960
middle six. I just don't think he has the myths.

525
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,359
He doesn't have the high end skill to really produce points.

526
00:23:31,559 --> 00:23:35,720
He certainly seems like he'll be in NHL or his dad,

527
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:41,279
Sean Horcoff, was there and real chummy with the Pittsburgh

528
00:23:41,319 --> 00:23:43,200
Brass when it had taken him. They I think I

529
00:23:43,319 --> 00:23:48,480
mentioned on Apples and Ginos the other day that they

530
00:23:48,599 --> 00:23:50,839
had his name pre printed on the back of the jersey,

531
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,119
so they everyone knew that they were taking Horcoff with

532
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,200
the Penguins pick. There was no question, or at least

533
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,839
they intended to. So that seemed pretty telegraphed. It seemed

534
00:23:59,839 --> 00:24:02,279
like really liked him. Yeah, I just don't think that

535
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,000
there's a lot of offense there. But he certainly is

536
00:24:05,079 --> 00:24:08,839
a strong defensive forward. He's big, he's tough, he's mean,

537
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,119
he's tough to play against. He's the kind of guy

538
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,640
that you throw out there on your third line, and

539
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,880
you're pretty happy about it as a team. As fantasy GM,

540
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:17,839
I don't think you're going to be excited about that

541
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,880
at all. That's why I'm not super excited about Horcoff. Now.

542
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,440
On the other hand, Nestra Sill is very raw, and

543
00:24:23,559 --> 00:24:26,200
it's very possible that he ends up being absolutely nothing

544
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,720
and he never plays or doesn't really have a significant impact.

545
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:34,079
So I could totally see why these two went right

546
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,200
next to each other. So if you're an NHL team,

547
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,000
you might be any want like for sure NHL or

548
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,279
then Horcoff makes a ton of sense. Just take him.

549
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,200
He's going to play. His dad is going to push

550
00:24:44,279 --> 00:24:46,039
him in the right way and give him the right mentorship,

551
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,400
and he's got that legacy in him. Great, you know

552
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,519
what you're getting with Nestra Sill. You don't. But also

553
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,680
the range of outcomes is much wider, both on the

554
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,920
positive and on the negative. So the funnel theory that

555
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,960
we talk about it is very wide for Nestro Still,

556
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,839
if it all works out right, Nester still could be

557
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,720
an absolute dream. He could be a big time banger.

558
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,279
He could post up in front of the goalie and

559
00:25:09,519 --> 00:25:14,720
just be an absolute nightmare in terms of disrupting, creating

560
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:20,920
space and also finishing around the net like Johann Franzen

561
00:25:21,279 --> 00:25:23,319
back in the day, if you remember that name. So

562
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,799
I think that's why I like Nester stillmore. There's more upside,

563
00:25:26,839 --> 00:25:29,519
but also there's more risk with him. So if you're

564
00:25:29,519 --> 00:25:31,720
willing to be patient and willing to accept those range

565
00:25:31,759 --> 00:25:34,079
of outcomes, then I would take Nestter. Scill If you're

566
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,599
in a really deep league, like a thirty two team

567
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:41,200
league salary cap and just having guys actually play on

568
00:25:41,319 --> 00:25:43,519
a cheap salary is going to be helpful, then take

569
00:25:43,559 --> 00:25:45,920
work off because he's a sure thing he's going to play.

570
00:25:46,799 --> 00:25:50,279
And then Mason West absolutely huge risk. Right, he's the

571
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,400
guy who's high school quarterback. I think you have to

572
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,480
believe him when he says that he actually didn't realize

573
00:25:57,519 --> 00:26:00,559
it was his draft season. And think about back in

574
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,400
time when you were in high school. Not all of

575
00:26:04,519 --> 00:26:06,680
us played, not all of us were captain of both

576
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,759
the hockey and the football team, But just think about

577
00:26:08,799 --> 00:26:11,920
how you were as a junior and what was important

578
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,160
to you at that time. He was a junior in

579
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,599
high school. This last year he's coming into his senior year.

580
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,680
He wasn't really thinking about the draft or any of

581
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,440
these things. He was just excited to win a state

582
00:26:22,559 --> 00:26:25,920
championship in hockey. His football team was competitive. He's really

583
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,200
close with all his buddies, and he wants to go

584
00:26:28,319 --> 00:26:30,640
back and finish the job and win a football championship.

585
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,279
That's what he stayed his goal was, and that's what's

586
00:26:33,279 --> 00:26:37,319
important to him right now. Will his priorities change, certainly

587
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,880
they could change in either direction. Being drafted by Chicago

588
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,920
in the first round I think might help his case

589
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,039
for hockey. I think that they might try to pressure

590
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,960
him into skipping that season of football and coming to

591
00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:49,680
camp and doing all the things that he needs to

592
00:26:49,759 --> 00:26:52,839
do to get better at hockey, but they also might

593
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,440
let him, and personally, I think that there's nothing wrong

594
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,519
with that desire to be with your friends and have

595
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,680
one final football season, because is he ever going to

596
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,519
have that again? Probably not. I know there's also a

597
00:27:03,599 --> 00:27:06,839
risk that he could get nil offers and scholarships to

598
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:11,039
NCAA football teams, and that's certainly within the realm of possibility.

599
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,000
But I think that if I was an NHL team,

600
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,559
I would be a little hesitant. But Chicago, with their

601
00:27:16,599 --> 00:27:19,599
three first round picks and lots of flexibility in their

602
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,359
roster decided to go for it. He has already committed

603
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,599
to playing the USHL after that, and he's committed to

604
00:27:24,599 --> 00:27:28,200
playing at Michigan State the following season, so it does

605
00:27:28,279 --> 00:27:30,720
seem like he has things lined up. I am a

606
00:27:30,759 --> 00:27:34,119
little worried that opponents and football are going to target

607
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,839
him to try to disrupt his career. I heard a

608
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,559
lot of people mention that, and who knows, I think

609
00:27:40,599 --> 00:27:43,160
that probably is true. It's unfortunate, but it's a reality

610
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,480
that they might have to face, and I'm sure the

611
00:27:45,519 --> 00:27:48,880
Blackhawks will be advising him on that. But for fantasy,

612
00:27:49,319 --> 00:27:51,640
I think Mason West is a great risk to take

613
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,960
past twenty because there aren't a whole lot of guys

614
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,480
who could be top line assets in that range, maybe

615
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,559
even after fifteen, because the full depth really thins out.

616
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,400
Mason West is extremely raw, but he's extremely skilled. He's

617
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,559
a big body, he's big, he's physically he's got soft hands,

618
00:28:09,599 --> 00:28:12,519
he can score. He needs to really work on getting

619
00:28:12,559 --> 00:28:15,000
better at hockey, which I'm sure he can do if

620
00:28:15,039 --> 00:28:18,319
he dedicates himself, and the upside is a top line

621
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,279
power forward if that works out, that's awesome, and if

622
00:28:21,319 --> 00:28:24,160
you get that in the teens or twenties, you're pretty

623
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:25,920
happy about it, but you have to be willing to

624
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,160
accept the rest of He also never plays a game

625
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,599
in the NHL, which is very possible.

626
00:28:31,839 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 3: And it's interesting if you go over and look at

627
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,880
the football recruiting stuff on this he's actually classified as

628
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:42,480
a three star prospect, and he's been offered by Miami

629
00:28:42,599 --> 00:28:46,920
of Ohio and South Dakota and Marshall. He did actually

630
00:28:47,079 --> 00:28:51,200
make a visit to Illinois a recruiting visit last fall,

631
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,359
so he's aimed a little bit higher at various points,

632
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,960
but I don't think he's been recruited by any of those,

633
00:28:57,079 --> 00:29:00,759
but anybody who's a baseball fan, and we'll recall a

634
00:29:00,839 --> 00:29:03,640
couple of years ago and Kyler Murray was drafted in

635
00:29:03,759 --> 00:29:05,839
the first round by the Athletics, and he said he

636
00:29:06,039 --> 00:29:09,440
was going to baseball, and then he had a great

637
00:29:09,519 --> 00:29:13,279
season at Oklahoma and he looked around and said, I

638
00:29:13,319 --> 00:29:16,279
could make myself eight hundred thousand dollars for the first

639
00:29:16,319 --> 00:29:18,960
few years as a baseball player and then hope for

640
00:29:19,039 --> 00:29:21,039
the best, or I could go to be a football

641
00:29:21,079 --> 00:29:25,640
player and make well into the nine figures, which Kyler

642
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,880
Murray has, and so that kind of works out. If

643
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,680
you're a great quarterback, your pay is through the roof.

644
00:29:31,839 --> 00:29:35,640
But again, three star quarterback, not sure that is quite

645
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,720
the case unless you're really thinking the nil. But why

646
00:29:38,759 --> 00:29:41,039
don't we hear straight from the horse's mouth because you've

647
00:29:41,039 --> 00:29:43,839
got some great talking. Oh wait, first, Victor, what else

648
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:44,799
do you have to think about that?

649
00:29:46,119 --> 00:29:48,599
Speaker 4: I think that's great insight. And this is where I'm

650
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,960
really glad you know about other sports. I don't know

651
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,880
if enough about the football recruiting and labeling. Do you

652
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,599
think it's possible that after a super strong senior season

653
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,920
that changes for him, that he becomes a four or

654
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,440
five star or whatever there I don't even know what

655
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,799
the ratings are, but that he improves significantly.

656
00:30:06,559 --> 00:30:10,319
Speaker 3: It could happen, But right now, teams tend to be

657
00:30:10,599 --> 00:30:12,799
on guys a little bit earlier than this. If you're

658
00:30:12,839 --> 00:30:15,920
one of the top football prospects, you probably would be

659
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,599
offered by a bigger school by now, unless he's totally

660
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,599
scared them off by talking about going to another sport.

661
00:30:21,599 --> 00:30:23,799
And again, a bird in the hand of being a

662
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,400
first round pick in a professional sport is a whole

663
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,799
lot better than being recruited to Akron and struggling on

664
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,559
maction on Wednesday nights for the next four years. I

665
00:30:34,599 --> 00:30:36,799
don't think the money is necessarily going to be there

666
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,640
for that. So I tend to take him at his

667
00:30:39,759 --> 00:30:44,839
word and think that the football side of things is

668
00:30:45,079 --> 00:30:48,680
probably a little bit probably a little bit overrated as

669
00:30:48,799 --> 00:30:51,200
to what's going on there. Maybe there's other stuff out

670
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,519
there that I don't know about, but just objectively looking

671
00:30:53,559 --> 00:30:56,039
at this as a football fan, no, this is not

672
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:00,640
a guy who is headed for the NFL anytime soon.

673
00:31:01,039 --> 00:31:04,480
That's that's what I would say about that. But yeah,

674
00:31:04,559 --> 00:31:06,319
let's hear from Mason West because you get some good

675
00:31:06,319 --> 00:31:08,960
audio and this question might just come up.

676
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:09,119
Speaker 5: In that.

677
00:31:11,839 --> 00:31:13,359
Speaker 4: Good Payson West Chicago.

678
00:31:15,319 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 12: When it comes to the high school football you mentioned before,

679
00:31:18,279 --> 00:31:20,400
how important is it that you play that one final

680
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,960
season in the fall with the hardest.

681
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 11: It's super important for me to play that season just

682
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,039
because I want to say lord of my teammates. I

683
00:31:26,039 --> 00:31:28,559
think I'm a captain, I'm the football and hockey team.

684
00:31:28,559 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 7: I think it really shows my leadership role.

685
00:31:30,279 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 11: When I really want to play another year of high

686
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,680
school football and have the chance to do something special

687
00:31:33,759 --> 00:31:34,400
my teammates.

688
00:31:34,759 --> 00:31:36,599
Speaker 7: I set goals for the football and hockey career.

689
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,839
Speaker 11: And that's still want to stage football championship in hockey,

690
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,880
and I've been willing to do that in hockey benign

691
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:41,559
football selling.

692
00:31:41,599 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 7: To have the opportunity to do that would be super

693
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:44,359
special with a good group of guys.

694
00:31:45,279 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 12: And does this Jersey scare away any d one football

695
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,759
teams that might think there was still a chance of

696
00:31:50,839 --> 00:31:51,160
getting you.

697
00:31:51,279 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 11: I hope it does, because I want to pursue hockey.

698
00:31:53,079 --> 00:31:55,920
I'm one hundred in on hockey, and yeah, I'm really excited.

699
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,599
Speaker 12: How big a conversation point was that when you were

700
00:31:58,640 --> 00:31:59,720
talking to teams before the.

701
00:31:59,759 --> 00:32:01,519
Speaker 11: Draft it, Yeah, I think that was kind of the

702
00:32:01,559 --> 00:32:04,160
main top because just whether bigger football teams would come

703
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,839
in and stuff and the I guess accountability on really

704
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,319
playing hockey and pursuing hockey. But I meant really clear

705
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,400
that the only goals just trying to win a state championship,

706
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:12,799
and that's the only goal, is to just win a

707
00:32:12,839 --> 00:32:14,920
state championship, be a load of my teammates and then

708
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,400
my community and then head to Fargo after that and

709
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:18,720
get going with hockey.

710
00:32:18,519 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 6: Fans are the same situation, Yeah, dropt like the fourth round.

711
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,359
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're believing in you.

712
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,319
Speaker 6: How well did you know that these panders?

713
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 11: I know him, well, Yeah, we talked four or five

714
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,400
times before committed to Michigan State, and then I'll probably

715
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,680
talk to him after this. But he's a really great guy.

716
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,559
I think he It was nice to really get advice

717
00:32:36,599 --> 00:32:38,200
from someone who went through it. Obviously you can talk

718
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,079
to your parents, you can talk to people from community,

719
00:32:40,119 --> 00:32:41,599
but it's hard to find a guy that kind of

720
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,240
went through the same thing. So it was super cool

721
00:32:43,279 --> 00:32:45,400
to talk to him and meet him and learn about

722
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,400
his process and then have him guide me through a

723
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:48,559
little bit to my process.

724
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,079
Speaker 7: But yeah, he's a really good dude.

725
00:32:50,079 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 11: I'm really thought to when you already knew that you

726
00:32:52,759 --> 00:32:54,519
were gonna definitely Fronsu hockey.

727
00:32:54,559 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 4: It was part of helps Like main Dens, he was.

728
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 7: A little bit a part of that.

729
00:32:58,559 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 11: I think right after I'd chose to pursue hockey, I

730
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,440
called him and then ask him about like the recruiting

731
00:33:02,519 --> 00:33:05,599
process and more about the NHL draft and the combines.

732
00:33:05,599 --> 00:33:07,599
I'm really blessed out of that support system round me,

733
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,400
not just my family, but also keeping a win.

734
00:33:09,359 --> 00:33:13,559
Speaker 6: Through in terms of your development. What happens next year.

735
00:33:13,599 --> 00:33:14,599
Speaker 7: What's your focus when.

736
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 6: You go back to Fargo.

737
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,359
Speaker 11: Yeah, obviously taking a different poach, so you actually want

738
00:33:18,359 --> 00:33:20,839
to a new hockey program and powers performance. So I'll

739
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,119
try to do that two or three times a week

740
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,119
during the football you're and try to skate two or

741
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:24,720
three times a week.

742
00:33:24,759 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 7: Just stay fresh and polished on my edges and be

743
00:33:27,079 --> 00:33:28,599
ready to go for Fargo. I think the biggest thing

744
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,160
form is developing physically. I think it can really be

745
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:32,000
a physical.

746
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 11: Physically dominate people on the ice sing I can't, no way,

747
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:35,519
It's a big thing for that. So I want to

748
00:33:35,519 --> 00:33:37,839
try to gain like ten pounds for the Fargo season,

749
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,200
then bring that into the hockey season, be ready to

750
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,319
go for for Fargo. So I'm taking that different approach

751
00:33:42,359 --> 00:33:44,279
of skating. It's under in the football season and getting

752
00:33:44,279 --> 00:33:46,400
ready and get my body ready and Paul.

753
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 6: Shop what's your biggest strength and pro comparison keep.

754
00:33:49,359 --> 00:33:51,359
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would just say the hockey sense.

755
00:33:51,519 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 6: Obviously.

756
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 7: I really think I don't cheat the game. I think

757
00:33:53,519 --> 00:33:54,200
a lot of printers.

758
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 11: I think I really have a sense for where I

759
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:57,960
need to be on the ice, and I can see

760
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,240
that quarterback in me un scanning and passing. I think

761
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:01,759
I'm a really good passer, so I try to bring

762
00:34:01,839 --> 00:34:04,599
that passing ability from football, maybe throwing Hill Mary's and

763
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,000
not hockey a little bit. I think that's one of

764
00:34:06,039 --> 00:34:07,960
my biggest assets, is just knowing the game and not

765
00:34:08,039 --> 00:34:12,079
really cheating the game at all. I'd say Tate Thompson, Yeah,

766
00:34:12,159 --> 00:34:13,960
I think we both are going we shoot the puck.

767
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,320
I think it's hard to find a player like me,

768
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:17,960
I guess because I think I'm a unique player. I

769
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,559
think I want to be like Tate Thompson, will also

770
00:34:19,559 --> 00:34:21,320
want to be my own player and be unique in

771
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,079
that way and try to do things that a lot

772
00:34:23,119 --> 00:34:24,039
of tall players can't.

773
00:34:24,639 --> 00:34:26,599
Speaker 6: Being a US and Chub guy. And as you look

774
00:34:26,599 --> 00:34:29,960
after your comfort and knowing that Jeff Lashers it does.

775
00:34:30,079 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm really excited to meet him and see what

776
00:34:32,079 --> 00:34:34,239
his path was to get in there, and I'm super

777
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,079
excited to get going. But yeah, for sure, And if

778
00:34:36,119 --> 00:34:38,320
you told yourself a year ago, you'd just sick sharing

779
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:39,719
more for your action for racing.

780
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 6: Because I heard that you didn't even know.

781
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 8: What your draft year.

782
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 11: I did not know it was my draft year at all. Yeah, No,

783
00:34:44,079 --> 00:34:46,039
I did not know my sophomore year. I think I

784
00:34:46,119 --> 00:34:47,840
try to make most of every opportunity when it came

785
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:49,039
up to me. I think it just gave me more

786
00:34:49,079 --> 00:34:51,440
motivation to work hard and achieve my goal and achieved

787
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:51,880
my dreams.

788
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 7: And obviously I did that tonight.

789
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 11: But I think my next dream is to play in

790
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,000
the NHL for a long time and make an impact

791
00:34:57,039 --> 00:34:57,800
for a teams.

792
00:34:57,519 --> 00:35:00,800
Speaker 6: For sure, to crusher shit.

793
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,679
Speaker 7: My plushers the rebuilders trying to celebrates.

794
00:35:04,119 --> 00:35:05,159
Speaker 4: Now you're going to feel fun.

795
00:35:07,039 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 10: Then you realize that.

796
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 7: I'm super excited. I love the hearing the rebuilding, and

797
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,559
I can be maybe a part of that rebuild.

798
00:35:14,679 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 11: So I'm super excited because I really think I'm still

799
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,079
developing as a player and raw as a player. So

800
00:35:18,159 --> 00:35:19,840
u's I really started to focus and tone in on

801
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,880
the hockey and the little things I really can help

802
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,519
me become a better hockey player, but also become a better.

803
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,119
Speaker 7: Like human being overall. I think that's one of the

804
00:35:26,159 --> 00:35:26,639
big things for me.

805
00:35:26,679 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 11: I want to become a better hockey player but also

806
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,920
become a better person in the process. I think obviously

807
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,320
going to Michigan State can help me with that, but

808
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,559
I'm super excited to be a part of that rebuild

809
00:35:34,679 --> 00:35:36,760
as you say, And yeah, I'm pumped.

810
00:35:36,519 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 4: Up, you know to watch this cup round to the

811
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:39,639
can of teas I did.

812
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 12: Yeah.

813
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 7: So it's funny because I was actually a Blackouts fan.

814
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 11: My brother was a Penguins fan, so we went back

815
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,719
and forth a little bit between those two teams. But yeah,

816
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,480
I've always been a Caner fan and a Tays fans. Yeah,

817
00:35:49,519 --> 00:35:53,239
I'm super excited. I don't really know, I've never really

818
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,639
obviously I'm a wild fan, but I think my dad

819
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,280
was from Chicago, so he brought the Bears a little

820
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,519
bit into our household. And the black Yeah, a lot

821
00:36:00,559 --> 00:36:02,199
of Minnesota people don't like it, but I go with

822
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:02,760
it a little bit.

823
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 7: You know.

824
00:36:03,599 --> 00:36:06,119
Speaker 6: Any of the younger players prospects.

825
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 13: I don't know.

826
00:36:08,199 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 11: Obviously I met I just met Ellen, so yeah, it's

827
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:11,920
all new to me. And just try to make most

828
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,119
of the opportunity and meet new guys and so yeah,

829
00:36:14,119 --> 00:36:15,760
I'm super less to be able to be a part

830
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,679
of a great organization. And yeah, and why Michigan State

831
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,000
for in Minnesota, Gay, Yeah, I would say just the

832
00:36:22,039 --> 00:36:23,840
development part for me. As I said before, I'm really

833
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,000
big on development, and they sought out planning for me.

834
00:36:26,119 --> 00:36:28,320
On developing becoming a better hockey player. I think that's

835
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,079
really important for me is I'm still a raw player.

836
00:36:30,159 --> 00:36:31,440
I think I have a lot of aspects of my

837
00:36:31,519 --> 00:36:33,159
game that I can work on, just as that coach

838
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,480
and stef and how I guess, I guess dominant they

839
00:36:35,519 --> 00:36:38,239
are with cruit making players better. As an example, like

840
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,639
the Charlie Strambles who transition to a way better hockey

841
00:36:40,679 --> 00:36:42,559
player in Michigan State, and I feel like I try

842
00:36:42,559 --> 00:36:44,039
to inflate my game after him a little bit and

843
00:36:44,159 --> 00:36:45,800
see myself a little bit like him. So I think

844
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,719
it was cool to see his path and it feels

845
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:49,559
like I can be behind him in those situations.

846
00:36:50,119 --> 00:36:52,199
Speaker 3: Just take a brief break, come back and talk some

847
00:36:52,320 --> 00:37:07,559
more prospects. Next question from Sargant Dolland's Lonely Hearts Club,

848
00:37:08,199 --> 00:37:11,960
Milton Gastron versus Braiden Kotz. What do you like for

849
00:37:12,039 --> 00:37:12,679
these two guys.

850
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm glad to have an easy question after these

851
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,440
hard ones that I think this is easy for me.

852
00:37:20,519 --> 00:37:23,480
It's definitely Braiden Koots and not just because he was

853
00:37:23,559 --> 00:37:26,920
taken much higher, which he was. Actually it was really

854
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:31,320
surprising when Vancouver stepped up to pick. We know that

855
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:36,039
Vancouver has a soft spot for Swedes, and so does Detroit,

856
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,039
and they both passed on Victor Ecklin. I was gassed.

857
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:43,199
I was surprised, But the more I talk to people

858
00:37:43,199 --> 00:37:45,920
about Braiden Coots and the fact that they have a

859
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:50,039
lot of strong scouts in the area for the WHL,

860
00:37:50,119 --> 00:37:51,800
it made a lot of sense that they went Coots

861
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,639
because I'm sure they saw a lot of him in Seattle,

862
00:37:55,679 --> 00:37:57,119
which isn't that far and I'm sure they have a

863
00:37:57,159 --> 00:38:00,760
lot of resources there. And he's just a great, really

864
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,639
strong for checker, really high motor kind of guy that

865
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,960
also has a ton of skill. He's physical, he's heavy.

866
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,079
So much of this draft was influenced by what Florida

867
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,239
just did and back to back Stanley Cups and being

868
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,199
that physical team, and I think Kots fits that profile

869
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,199
of a guy that they don't really have and want

870
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,039
at least right now, and so that makes a lot

871
00:38:20,079 --> 00:38:22,880
of sense. I really like Gastron too. I think he's

872
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,400
a good later pick and I certainly can see a

873
00:38:25,519 --> 00:38:30,480
world where he ends up being a really strong player.

874
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,360
I also like that Washington picked him because they have

875
00:38:35,039 --> 00:38:37,880
been one of the best drafters in the past decade

876
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,320
or so, and so whenever they take someone you should

877
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,559
probably pay attention. The problem with Gastrin is that he's

878
00:38:43,679 --> 00:38:47,119
just very decent at a lot of things. He's very versatile.

879
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,639
He's kind of a jack of all trades, probably more

880
00:38:49,679 --> 00:38:53,039
of a middle to bottom six just any situation kind

881
00:38:53,079 --> 00:38:55,400
of player, but doesn't really have this high end skill

882
00:38:55,679 --> 00:38:58,920
to provide more points, and so Coots is better in

883
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,199
that sense. Plus he has a much higher perferal floor,

884
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,119
So you get the better floor with Coots in terms

885
00:39:03,119 --> 00:39:05,559
of priffs, and you get the better upside. I think

886
00:39:05,639 --> 00:39:07,159
this is an easy when it's Coots all the way,

887
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,000
But I still manage to talk a lot, Jesse. Why

888
00:39:09,079 --> 00:39:09,280
is that.

889
00:39:11,119 --> 00:39:12,760
Speaker 3: Because you're excited, Victor?

890
00:39:13,039 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 2: Yeah?

891
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:17,519
Speaker 3: And why don't we listen to mister Gastrin because he

892
00:39:17,599 --> 00:39:19,639
did have a couple of things to say that you

893
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,519
caught up with to hear about his game?

894
00:39:24,599 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 8: Right now?

895
00:39:26,519 --> 00:39:29,199
Speaker 13: You know, as a young kid when you're first jersey

896
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:33,079
actually it's a Vechkin jersey, and you're growing up and

897
00:39:33,559 --> 00:39:36,159
now be able to play for them, so it's insane.

898
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,599
Speaker 6: Did you get to watch a Veins record breaking gold?

899
00:39:38,679 --> 00:39:42,599
Speaker 13: Yeah? Of course, Unfortunately it was nighttime in Sweden, so

900
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,760
you know you I had to be in bed asleep,

901
00:39:47,079 --> 00:39:49,079
but the next day I woke up bab will.

902
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:53,079
Speaker 7: Fly sharing and everything. Yeah, it's an unbelievable moment. It's

903
00:39:53,159 --> 00:39:53,800
so amazing.

904
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,639
Speaker 4: And with the NHL draft process over, is there like

905
00:39:56,679 --> 00:39:59,199
a huge weight off your shoulders now that you can

906
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,960
just focus on Hote and what comes next to Yeah,

907
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:02,320
I think.

908
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 7: But it's been an amazing year.

909
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,679
Speaker 13: But now when you're finally it's finally over and you

910
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,599
just gotta continue working.

911
00:40:11,119 --> 00:40:12,679
Speaker 6: And that's something I've.

912
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:15,159
Speaker 7: How do you say I want it?

913
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 13: So yeah?

914
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, the indication it was going to be the Capitals, No.

915
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,519
Speaker 6: I actually I haven't. We never know.

916
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:28,079
Speaker 13: Everything can happen in the draft, but now it's been Capitals.

917
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,880
I'm so proud and so excited. Yeah.

918
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 6: Do you think you're playing the center here?

919
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:34,079
Speaker 13: Yeah?

920
00:40:34,119 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 4: I think my.

921
00:40:37,119 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 13: When I'm at my best level playing as a center.

922
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,559
I've played a lot of wing over the years and

923
00:40:42,079 --> 00:40:44,400
I'm really comfortable with that as well.

924
00:40:44,599 --> 00:40:47,079
Speaker 6: But yeah, your playmaking.

925
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's been a part of my game.

926
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 13: Winning a lot of puck battles and winning a lot

927
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:56,079
of pucks and trying to find teammates in open space

928
00:40:56,199 --> 00:40:57,440
and open areas.

929
00:40:57,119 --> 00:41:01,039
Speaker 6: And we think you'll play what wait do you think

930
00:41:01,119 --> 00:41:01,599
your playo?

931
00:41:02,159 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 11: What wait?

932
00:41:03,039 --> 00:41:04,760
Speaker 10: How much do you think your way like in the future?

933
00:41:05,159 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 7: Oh?

934
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 13: Yeah, I don't know how to say it in pounds,

935
00:41:08,039 --> 00:41:14,280
but ninety ninety kilograms maybe more.

936
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:20,079
Speaker 7: I think that's around my weight when I'm playing at

937
00:41:20,119 --> 00:41:20,800
the NHL.

938
00:41:21,519 --> 00:41:23,559
Speaker 6: What's an underrated aspect of your game that you think

939
00:41:23,599 --> 00:41:24,320
goes overlooked?

940
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 7: Oh, that's a hard question.

941
00:41:27,639 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 13: I don't know actually what to answer about that one.

942
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 2: But I don't know.

943
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 7: Actually, Oh, what do you say?

944
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:36,559
Speaker 8: Pass?

945
00:41:36,599 --> 00:41:41,639
Speaker 4: We're playing with Thatch just just joining Caps organizations, especially

946
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,360
knowing a guy like Thatcher you've played there, is that

947
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,719
a player that you would ever looked up to as

948
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,079
a Swede and just knowing his connections to the organization?

949
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 13: Yeah, of course, as you said, he's a Swede and

950
00:41:52,519 --> 00:41:55,679
it's not just a regular Swede. Is a really good

951
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:59,480
suite and I think I've watched him a lot over

952
00:41:59,559 --> 00:42:02,440
the years. Unfortunately has been dealing with injuries over the

953
00:42:02,519 --> 00:42:05,960
last few seasons, but every time I have the chance

954
00:42:06,039 --> 00:42:09,199
to watch him and watch him, I've taken it and

955
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,159
it's been a pleasure.

956
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 11: To watch him.

957
00:42:11,519 --> 00:42:15,559
Speaker 3: From our man, Sergeant Dollan, he had a couple. He

958
00:42:15,639 --> 00:42:19,199
had another comparison Malcolm Spence versus proker Off, and then

959
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,320
he also said he was curious about Lee.

960
00:42:22,519 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, Malcolm Spence versus brokera Off. This is an interesting

961
00:42:27,519 --> 00:42:29,920
one too. I love Malcolm Spence. At the end of

962
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,480
the day first day, we were all sitting there saying,

963
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,960
why didn't someone take Malcolm Spence in the first round?

964
00:42:37,079 --> 00:42:39,280
He seems like a very obvious one. Why didn't they

965
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,599
take Blake Fiddler? Those are the two main names that

966
00:42:41,639 --> 00:42:44,960
everyone was curious about. Fiddler went very early. Spence stuck

967
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,159
around a little longer than he should have. Quite frankly,

968
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:48,639
I thought that he would have been one of the

969
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:50,519
very first names off the board and he was not,

970
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,800
So that was a little disappointing. But yeah, I think

971
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,159
that Spence is going to be the kind of guy

972
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,039
that you just love to have on your team. He's

973
00:42:59,079 --> 00:43:02,719
gonna absolutely be a gamer, He's going to put them

974
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,599
out there in the situation, will probably be a playoff performer. Yeah,

975
00:43:06,639 --> 00:43:08,599
He's just gonna be one of these guys that you love.

976
00:43:08,639 --> 00:43:10,480
And I think he has a little bit more upside

977
00:43:11,119 --> 00:43:13,880
in terms of points and we might be getting credit

978
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,280
for but I think that I'm a little bit cooler

979
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:23,159
on Spence's points up side. So between these two, I

980
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:27,039
probably would take Spence just because he's a safer floor.

981
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:31,679
But pro Koroff is super raw, and the guy has

982
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:35,719
an absolute cannon of a shot, and he's huge, He's

983
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,920
really big. But the thing is we just don't We

984
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,400
don't know because pro Koroff only played in the KHL,

985
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:46,760
and so can he actually score against professional talent? We

986
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:48,480
don't know. Of course, we don't know. They're about Spence either,

987
00:43:48,559 --> 00:43:50,760
but I think OHL is a much stronger league than

988
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:55,639
the NHL. Prokoroff is super physical, though, and so you

989
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,000
got that big body, you got that freight train, you

990
00:43:58,159 --> 00:44:00,920
got that ability to mix it up and to post

991
00:44:01,039 --> 00:44:03,000
up and do things that a lot of players can't do.

992
00:44:03,079 --> 00:44:05,159
And Spence has good size too, but he's not six six.

993
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,519
I think between the two, I think it's a really

994
00:44:08,559 --> 00:44:11,039
tough call. If I was sitting and waiting to draft,

995
00:44:11,119 --> 00:44:13,960
I think it would depend on whether I believed or

996
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:15,960
I wanted to take a risk, because I think pro

997
00:44:16,079 --> 00:44:19,639
Koroff is a has more upside, but it is riskier

998
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:21,440
because he's more raw and we don't really know what

999
00:44:21,519 --> 00:44:25,000
he's going to be, whereas Spence, I feel like he's

1000
00:44:25,159 --> 00:44:27,599
pretty solidly a middle six forward. Will he be a

1001
00:44:27,639 --> 00:44:28,880
second liner or a third liner?

1002
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:29,320
Speaker 13: I don't know.

1003
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 4: Pro Koroff could be probably not a first liner, probably

1004
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,239
a two plus liner like top power play, maybe second

1005
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,159
line kind of guy, but also could just be nothing,

1006
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:41,920
not be an NHLer. So there's a little bit more

1007
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:46,639
risk between the two. Riker Lee is I think the

1008
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,719
other person that was asked about. He's a really interesting

1009
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:55,400
one too. He's super crafty and super super super smart

1010
00:44:56,039 --> 00:44:58,880
in terms of his playmaking. He's a little bit undersized,

1011
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,639
but he just he sees everything so well. He's super

1012
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,199
super high upside in terms of points. But he's a

1013
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,760
small guy that doesn't skate super well. That is typically

1014
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,119
not a good recipe for success, and so that makes

1015
00:45:12,159 --> 00:45:14,480
me a little bit worried. Not to mention the fact

1016
00:45:14,519 --> 00:45:17,480
that he's one of the oldest players in this draft class,

1017
00:45:17,559 --> 00:45:20,519
and so his runway for improvement is a little bit less,

1018
00:45:20,599 --> 00:45:22,800
and so that makes you a little bit worried that

1019
00:45:23,039 --> 00:45:25,679
maybe he's not going to get there. But I do

1020
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:27,960
think that the reason to be a little bit more

1021
00:45:28,039 --> 00:45:28,920
excited about him.

1022
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 11: He did go.

1023
00:45:31,079 --> 00:45:32,320
Speaker 4: He was one of the picks that when I did

1024
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,039
my post draft recap I was a little bit more

1025
00:45:34,039 --> 00:45:37,800
hesitant about him, but he did have a pretty good

1026
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,039
season in the USHL. He is going to Michigan State.

1027
00:45:40,159 --> 00:45:42,920
I like this for the college guys that can slow

1028
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,800
down and put some more weight on. He actually is

1029
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:49,679
at a pretty decent weight five, So I like that

1030
00:45:50,199 --> 00:45:52,159
in terms of his upside. He just really needs to

1031
00:45:52,199 --> 00:45:53,960
work on his skating and his mechanics, and if he

1032
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,840
can improve that, then I think that there's a lot

1033
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,159
to work with there, and if he can with more

1034
00:45:58,199 --> 00:46:00,320
talent around him, I think he can really make something

1035
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,280
of himself. Yeah, I like I think there's potential for Lee.

1036
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:04,960
He has some work to do, but I think he

1037
00:46:05,039 --> 00:46:07,599
can probably get there. So definitely one of the guys

1038
00:46:07,639 --> 00:46:10,559
that if you're looking at later down the list, then

1039
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:11,760
he's so many you should consider.

1040
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,800
Speaker 3: Next question here, Victor the stampeding Stallions in our discord,

1041
00:46:18,679 --> 00:46:22,800
this guy's been reading your rankings. He's been dipping deep

1042
00:46:23,039 --> 00:46:28,280
into the Victor Nugnio puckstud scores because he says this

1043
00:46:28,519 --> 00:46:30,559
is more of a general fantasy question on these draft

1044
00:46:30,599 --> 00:46:32,840
based on the numbers he sees a lot of players

1045
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:36,000
that you've assigned a seven or a six type puckstud

1046
00:46:36,159 --> 00:46:39,719
rating who are rated under fifty percent to even hit

1047
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,840
that rating. How do you think we as fantasy managers

1048
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,960
should differentiate so many players that have similar upside for

1049
00:46:47,039 --> 00:46:49,440
this draft? May be a better way to ask the question,

1050
00:46:49,599 --> 00:46:52,199
he says, is of the players in those two ranges,

1051
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,599
which ones are likely to hit if they improve one

1052
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,199
or two things or break out next year and into

1053
00:46:58,239 --> 00:46:58,679
the future.

1054
00:47:01,159 --> 00:47:04,519
Speaker 4: Yeah. This is Patrick, our co lead scout, So thanks

1055
00:47:04,559 --> 00:47:07,880
Patrick for really digging into our ranks and then thinking

1056
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:12,400
about it. I think it's really it's really tricky to

1057
00:47:12,559 --> 00:47:15,519
sign these percentages sometimes because there's so many factors that

1058
00:47:15,599 --> 00:47:17,400
play into it. But I'm trying to do my best

1059
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:22,079
to give some sense. The sevens that I would bet

1060
00:47:22,159 --> 00:47:25,840
on to be top are the top five and that's

1061
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:27,960
why they're there. The ones that are above fifty percent,

1062
00:47:28,079 --> 00:47:31,280
that's Misa Shae from mar Tonhagen's and O'Brien, so those

1063
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,280
guys have fewer questions. It's really more of just like

1064
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:37,840
how much does the offense translate? After that, we have

1065
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:39,960
Eckland and Frontal that I'm sure are going to be

1066
00:47:40,079 --> 00:47:43,320
NHL Our's. But the question is just the finishing the points.

1067
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:47,239
For Eckland, it's can he finished because he's created a

1068
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,599
lot Victor Ecklin, but he hasn't always finished, and or

1069
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,519
he hasn't always had his teammates finish. And so when

1070
00:47:53,559 --> 00:47:56,960
you're talking about hockeys finskin with not as many games played,

1071
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,880
you lower the number of events, and then you lower

1072
00:47:59,920 --> 00:48:04,039
the individual points participation in that league, and then all

1073
00:48:04,079 --> 00:48:07,159
of a sudden your equivalency looks far worse. So I

1074
00:48:07,199 --> 00:48:09,719
think that's part of with Eckland. He didn't necessarily always

1075
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:11,880
get the finishing around him that he needed, and so

1076
00:48:12,039 --> 00:48:13,880
some of his numbers don't look as well as good.

1077
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,480
For Frondell, it's whether he can play drive enough. Frondelle

1078
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:21,960
really is. People say he's more two way, but he's

1079
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,679
really not. He's really more offensive, and so can he

1080
00:48:25,119 --> 00:48:27,440
push the pace and drive play enough to get the

1081
00:48:27,519 --> 00:48:30,159
offense and get the time on ice? In some ways,

1082
00:48:30,199 --> 00:48:33,639
he's like Mark Shiflee in that way with more bash.

1083
00:48:34,199 --> 00:48:37,239
So I don't know, can he get there? Probably, I'm

1084
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,480
sure he's gonna play. It's just like how much offense

1085
00:48:40,599 --> 00:48:41,719
is he going to be able to.

1086
00:48:43,599 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 7: Create?

1087
00:48:44,079 --> 00:48:47,199
Speaker 4: And will he be good enough defensively to dictate twenty

1088
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,199
plus minutes of time on ice or will he be

1089
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:51,599
more of a fifteen minute time on ice, which is

1090
00:48:51,639 --> 00:48:54,400
a huge difference in your production. So that's my question

1091
00:48:54,519 --> 00:48:57,760
with Frondell McQueen. It's the back. We've talked about the

1092
00:48:57,880 --> 00:48:59,480
back quite a bit. Maybe I don't know if I've

1093
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,039
talked about it enough on this show, but he has

1094
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,440
or he eventually found out he has a pars into

1095
00:49:05,559 --> 00:49:08,800
articularis fracture which has or had that, which is a

1096
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:11,400
weakness of the connection of the front and the back

1097
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:15,280
of the part of the spine of the vertebra. And

1098
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:18,079
sometimes it can certainly be traumatic and hopefully that's all

1099
00:49:18,119 --> 00:49:20,960
it is. But sometimes with bigger players, they might have

1100
00:49:21,159 --> 00:49:23,280
a little bit of ligament to laxity and weakness in

1101
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,719
that area, and that's what can lead to recurrent issues.

1102
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:28,719
And so I haven't seen the medicals that closely, so

1103
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,280
I don't know some of the insider people that told

1104
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:34,320
me that's what it was, I haven't gotten follow up

1105
00:49:34,519 --> 00:49:36,840
information from them, so I'm hoping that I can. But

1106
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,199
that's the concern is that he gets that he has

1107
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:42,800
more of these or that it continues to nag him.

1108
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,760
And so if that were not a question, Roger McQueen

1109
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,440
would probably be the number one or maybe number two

1110
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,360
fantasy asset in this whole draft. But because of that,

1111
00:49:53,559 --> 00:49:57,119
I have him at ten. Ravensburger is a goalie and

1112
00:49:57,280 --> 00:49:59,840
goalies are voodoo and we don't know, so that's why

1113
00:50:00,199 --> 00:50:03,159
he's a little bit lower. Cole Retchnie. It's the feet.

1114
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,719
If he can figure the feed out, then Cole Rechnie

1115
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:09,480
is going to be a star fantasy asset, and I

1116
00:50:09,599 --> 00:50:12,360
think that's pretty likely that he can. But that's why

1117
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:14,360
he's a little lower. And then Mason West we covered

1118
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,000
him in the six is. There are a lot of

1119
00:50:17,039 --> 00:50:19,760
guys that are fifty percent that I'm sure will play.

1120
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:22,119
It's not about not believing in their offense, but it's

1121
00:50:22,199 --> 00:50:24,719
more or sorry, it's not about believing in their ability

1122
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:26,599
to play in the NHL. It's more about their offense.

1123
00:50:26,679 --> 00:50:31,239
And those would include Caleb Dione, Brady Martin, Carter Baer,

1124
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:37,280
Blake Fiddler, Kashawn Hison, Kendall Lakovich, and Limitoff. So all

1125
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:39,159
these guys, it's not it's just a matter of how

1126
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:42,639
much they will their offense translate. I think I feel

1127
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:46,039
most confident with Dione, but the more I kind of

1128
00:50:46,119 --> 00:50:49,239
press people about his upside, it was more like, yeah,

1129
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:53,039
it's probably sixty points fifty to sixty points, which is

1130
00:50:53,159 --> 00:50:54,800
not as exciting, even though he has a ton of

1131
00:50:55,679 --> 00:50:59,440
bash and britty Martin Carter Baer the same way they are.

1132
00:51:00,199 --> 00:51:03,400
They are like in that fifty point player mold Fiddler

1133
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:10,360
might be able to uncover some offense. Aherson might Kindle Knight, Lakovich, Limitov.

1134
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,360
So these are all question marks we covered. Nestrasil, he's

1135
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,599
a little bit lower in the sixes. Jackson Smith. I

1136
00:51:15,679 --> 00:51:17,800
think I might have to move Jackson Smith up because

1137
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:21,079
I really like him. But the issue with Jackson Smith

1138
00:51:21,199 --> 00:51:25,320
is that he still has some not so great plays

1139
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:30,719
with the puck sometimes and creates some to turnovers rushes plays,

1140
00:51:31,039 --> 00:51:34,119
and that is a little bit concerning for me. So

1141
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:37,400
that's going to limit his ability, his opportunity and his

1142
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:40,280
ability to create points if he panics a little too

1143
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:43,599
much with the puck. The panic meters what we sometimes

1144
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:48,000
talk about, and when things got tighter and less space,

1145
00:51:48,119 --> 00:51:50,199
he did a little worse. And so I'm concerned that

1146
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,000
as he moves up the ranks that's going to continue

1147
00:51:52,039 --> 00:51:55,159
to happen. If that does improve, then he's a seven,

1148
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:58,480
maybe even an eight, because he's that good offensively and

1149
00:51:58,599 --> 00:52:01,960
he's great skaters, decent size, all those things are really good.

1150
00:52:02,079 --> 00:52:05,360
So the question marks will erase if he can figure

1151
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,039
that out, and if they don't improve, then he's going

1152
00:52:08,119 --> 00:52:10,920
to be like Cody CC which is not super exciting.

1153
00:52:12,159 --> 00:52:14,480
Malcolm Spence, we talked about him, just the scoring, and

1154
00:52:14,599 --> 00:52:18,599
Cameron Reid is another one that I also feel similarly about.

1155
00:52:19,039 --> 00:52:23,239
If Cameron Reid can play defensively, sound hockey enough and

1156
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:27,159
be a better, good two way guy, then watch out.

1157
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:29,320
That's really the issue with him is can he defend?

1158
00:52:30,639 --> 00:52:31,920
So that's a rundown on those guys.

1159
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:36,280
Speaker 3: Great question, Patrick, Now a little bit of a strategic

1160
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:39,800
question that comes in from Craig. He's also curious with

1161
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:42,519
the low percentage to hit, if it's worthwhile trying to

1162
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:46,599
move twenty twenty five draft picks in the five to

1163
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:49,519
fifteen range to twenty twenty six.

1164
00:52:50,559 --> 00:52:55,559
Speaker 4: Maybe I'm not sure about that. I think that if

1165
00:52:55,599 --> 00:52:58,519
there's a possibility you can get Gavin McKenna, then do it.

1166
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,360
But if you're the five to fifteen range, I'm not

1167
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,280
convinced that it's going to be better next year, and

1168
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:05,280
anyone who says that they know it will be is

1169
00:53:06,519 --> 00:53:08,480
just lying to you, because there's no way to really know.

1170
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:11,559
If you go back and look last year at twenty

1171
00:53:11,599 --> 00:53:16,159
twenty five ranks, there were completely different names and number

1172
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:19,960
and guys in there. Ivan ray Apkin was top five

1173
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:23,440
in this draft, and he went much later, and I've

1174
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,679
been telling people don't even draft him. So I think

1175
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:29,280
that it's too early to know. I think that if

1176
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:33,000
you don't feel confident about your guy, then it might

1177
00:53:33,079 --> 00:53:36,280
be reasonable to punt it to next year, because at

1178
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:39,920
least we don't know. Maybe someone will really rise, and

1179
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:42,159
maybe things will really solidify and there'll be some really

1180
00:53:42,199 --> 00:53:45,119
strong candidates up to pick eight or ten. I think

1181
00:53:45,119 --> 00:53:47,800
there's some pretty good ones in this range in terms

1182
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:49,480
of if you look at my list, some guys it

1183
00:53:49,559 --> 00:53:51,920
went a little bit later that I think would be

1184
00:53:52,039 --> 00:53:56,079
a really strong asset. So I think it's possible. I

1185
00:53:56,159 --> 00:53:58,719
think it's more to answer your question, Craig, I think

1186
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:02,360
it's more after a fifteen that I would really consider

1187
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:06,519
doing that. If it's beyond the fifteen range, then I

1188
00:54:06,559 --> 00:54:08,320
would say definitely punted to next year.

1189
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:13,760
Speaker 3: All right, Next, we've got Sasha, who wants you to

1190
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:16,280
talk about Carter Behar versus Victor Ecklund.

1191
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:20,360
Speaker 4: This is an easy one. The answer is Victor Eckland.

1192
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:21,000
What was the question?

1193
00:54:23,599 --> 00:54:27,880
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, Are these both brothers? Is Carter Bear

1194
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:31,000
related to Ethan? We got all the brothers coming in.

1195
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:33,800
Speaker 4: I don't think he's related to Ethan Bearer, But Victor

1196
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:37,480
Ecklund is a much better asset, I would say. And

1197
00:54:37,519 --> 00:54:40,320
actually the bash between these two is not really very different.

1198
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:42,719
And that's something that if you're picking, if you're interested

1199
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:46,639
in Carter Bear, it's probably because he's a big time basher,

1200
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:49,679
and that is true, Like his bash is outstanding, but

1201
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:53,440
his I don't think his points upside is super high,

1202
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:58,440
whereas with Victor Eckland, the points upside is actually pretty decent.

1203
00:54:58,639 --> 00:55:01,199
He has at least a strong as his brother, who

1204
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:03,239
I think could be a seventy ish point player, and

1205
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:05,679
I think Victor can be at least that high, if

1206
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:08,639
not more. But he also bashes a lot. His bash

1207
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:11,400
is just as good as Carter Bears. Okay, you're talking

1208
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:15,559
about the same peripheral floor. I think they both are

1209
00:55:16,119 --> 00:55:18,960
very high. Motor guys that our coaches are gonna love

1210
00:55:19,039 --> 00:55:22,960
putting out there in any situation. But Victor has more offense,

1211
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:24,320
so go with him.

1212
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 2: All right?

1213
00:55:26,519 --> 00:55:29,679
Speaker 3: An open ended question from the Golden Moose Center discord,

1214
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:33,199
give us Victor some deep cuts who would be good

1215
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,880
in multi cad or bangers leagues? Pick sixty and later.

1216
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 4: All right, I'm not gonna get much into these because

1217
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:42,519
there's a lot of names here, so you're just gonna

1218
00:55:42,559 --> 00:55:44,400
have to look some of these up on your own,

1219
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:47,199
or go to the Fantasy Hockey Life website and if

1220
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:49,800
you're an ultra lifer, look all these up because you

1221
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:51,760
can see all their stats there. But actually, what I

1222
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:53,920
did for this, which is what I was talking about,

1223
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,840
I went to the website and I looked at bash

1224
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:02,960
for sixty plotted against points sixty, and there it was

1225
00:56:03,039 --> 00:56:05,559
really clear to see that top quadrant of guys that

1226
00:56:05,639 --> 00:56:09,039
were above eightieth percentile in both They're not that many.

1227
00:56:09,519 --> 00:56:12,920
There are fourteen of these guys. Actually, if you don't

1228
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:16,199
if you just add in all of Philly's picks, Philly

1229
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:20,000
picked almost exclusively guys that bash. There were two guys

1230
00:56:20,039 --> 00:56:23,159
they did pick that do not bash. That's mass Max

1231
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:27,960
Westerguard and Matthew Guard. So aside from those two, the

1232
00:56:28,039 --> 00:56:31,000
whole plot in that top quadrant of eightieth percentile in

1233
00:56:31,119 --> 00:56:33,679
both was like a whole bunch of Philly logos and

1234
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,840
then a Bun and then a few other teams. Yeah,

1235
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:39,880
so it's pretty clear what they were doing, all right.

1236
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:42,760
So here you go, Emil gout g u I, T. E.

1237
00:56:43,039 --> 00:56:49,719
Cooper Simpson, Melvin navatni Charlie Serrado, Julius Sumpff, Nathan Bem,

1238
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:58,480
Eddie Jenberg, Michael Spur, Servek, Nathan Quinn, Cole McKinney, Roman

1239
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:03,159
letsev Ethan Zata, Wilson Byork, and Jacob Ills was Niak.

1240
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:06,960
A lot of these guys are not super exciting for points,

1241
00:57:07,079 --> 00:57:09,119
but the ones I would say that prop that have

1242
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:12,599
a little bit of upside worth considering a Novotny Nathan

1243
00:57:12,679 --> 00:57:16,599
Bem I really like him, Michael Servak, Cole McKinney I

1244
00:57:16,599 --> 00:57:20,599
already mentioned, and Wilson Wilson or sorry, Ethan Zatta and

1245
00:57:20,679 --> 00:57:23,519
then Jacob Ills wolves Nak is also interesting as well.

1246
00:57:23,639 --> 00:57:26,880
So of those fourteen, there's five that I think are

1247
00:57:27,559 --> 00:57:30,280
strong in addition to bangers to have a little bit

1248
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:31,480
of points up side Jesse.

1249
00:57:32,559 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 3: And Jacob Ills. Wasniak is another one we have a

1250
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:36,039
little audio for.

1251
00:57:36,239 --> 00:57:41,599
Speaker 4: Let's listen to that up Vegas. How would you describe

1252
00:57:41,639 --> 00:57:43,159
your game to Vegas fans you might not have seen

1253
00:57:43,199 --> 00:57:43,519
you play?

1254
00:57:43,639 --> 00:57:46,079
Speaker 8: I would say, yeah, offensive player with a really good

1255
00:57:46,119 --> 00:57:48,039
Shelton And I would say that I have a good

1256
00:57:48,079 --> 00:57:51,519
passing ability and a good hoky IQ too, so I will, Yeah,

1257
00:57:51,559 --> 00:57:53,280
I will be a really offensive player.

1258
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 4: And what do you think you need to work on

1259
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:56,360
most were that uniform full time?

1260
00:57:56,679 --> 00:57:58,639
Speaker 8: I would say, yeah, my two hundred foot game, my

1261
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:00,760
intense level, and that's what I've been working on the

1262
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:02,880
whole season and what I'm going to keep working on too,

1263
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:04,440
So that's what I'm going to improve.

1264
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:08,119
Speaker 4: And yeah I want Jordan.

1265
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:13,079
Speaker 8: Yeah, I've heard about him yet, but I don't really

1266
00:58:13,119 --> 00:58:14,119
know so much about it though.

1267
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:16,599
Speaker 7: Have you ever been a Vegas No?

1268
00:58:16,719 --> 00:58:17,039
Speaker 13: I have not.

1269
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:20,519
Speaker 6: How's the feeling?

1270
00:58:21,119 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 4: What do you feeling right now? It's super fun.

1271
00:58:23,039 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 8: This is what you dreamt though your whole life, so

1272
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:26,880
it's super fun fun to find it will be a pig.

1273
00:58:28,239 --> 00:58:30,159
Speaker 1: What's then underrated aspect of your game that you think

1274
00:58:30,199 --> 00:58:31,039
goes over longter?

1275
00:58:32,239 --> 00:58:32,440
Speaker 4: John?

1276
00:58:33,719 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 7: Good question.

1277
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 8: I think that some people say that I don't have

1278
00:58:38,079 --> 00:58:39,719
a good passing ability and stuff like that, and I

1279
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:41,400
think that, Yeah, I think that I have a really

1280
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:42,199
good passing ability.

1281
00:58:42,639 --> 00:58:42,679
Speaker 9: That.

1282
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:45,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, what's your favorite part of the game, The.

1283
00:58:45,679 --> 00:58:46,639
Speaker 4: Offensive part of the game.

1284
00:58:46,719 --> 00:58:48,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, but I know all the all other parts of

1285
00:58:48,519 --> 00:58:50,280
the game are important, and I want to get better

1286
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,159
at all of them, but I like the offensive part

1287
00:58:52,199 --> 00:58:52,719
of it the most.

1288
00:58:54,719 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 3: With that, we're going to end this first half of

1289
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:02,599
