7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,839
Live once again. Jesse Severe, Victor Nuno ready to talk

8
00:00:28,879 --> 00:00:30,640
to you about the world of fantasy hockey.

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: How you doing, Victor, I'm doing awesome, Jesse. Yeah, it's

10
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,799
been a fantastic time of just watching so much hockey.

11
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,719
And I don't know if you've ever had a week

12
00:00:39,799 --> 00:00:42,880
like this, but I in my matchup last week, I

13
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,719
felt like I wasn't worthy to roster Logan Cooley. He

14
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,079
dragged my pathetic managing but to a victory and I

15
00:00:52,119 --> 00:00:54,799
really didn't. I really didn't deserve it. But he by

16
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,840
himself basically won me my matchup. I was down by

17
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,320
fifty points at one point on Wednesday and he was

18
00:01:01,359 --> 00:01:04,040
just like hol my beer and just we all know

19
00:01:04,079 --> 00:01:05,280
what he did. I bet he won a lot of

20
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,439
people their weeks, but I feel like I didn't really

21
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:08,000
deserve it.

22
00:01:09,159 --> 00:01:11,719
Speaker 2: How many players you think in fantasy hockey would get you,

23
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,640
Logan Cooley right now, in a trade in your Dynasty

24
00:01:14,719 --> 00:01:19,519
League five, I mean we're getting in territory.

25
00:01:19,719 --> 00:01:22,719
Speaker 1: I would take Dry, I would take McDavid, would take McKinnon,

26
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,840
probably UNEs Celebrini.

27
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 2: You take Celebrini over him? Is that the dividing line.

28
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,079
Speaker 1: That's really close? I think the bash was probably more

29
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,439
with Celebrini, But people are The point you're making, which

30
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,599
is valid, is that Cooley is way up there and

31
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,519
way better than a lot of people are thinking. And

32
00:01:42,719 --> 00:01:44,959
there aren't very many people I would trade for him,

33
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,400
that's for sure. So if you get any of those

34
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,439
names that aren't like top ten in your league and

35
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,480
you can get Koley for that, do it because he's incredible.

36
00:01:54,239 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, outstanding Victor. I also this week I was

37
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,239
watching I forget what they call it, but it's the

38
00:02:01,239 --> 00:02:04,959
deal where they start at a game every twenty minutes

39
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,360
right starting a Yeah, the frenzy, the frozen frenzy. I

40
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,599
love that thing. Man. I don't know about you. I'm

41
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:14,080
a football fan and I turn on the Red Zone

42
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,240
on Sundays and I just it. It's like a drug.

43
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,520
It's just you sit there and fixate and you can't

44
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,719
stop because all you get is the good stuff. For

45
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,360
seven hours, and hockey tried to do that last time.

46
00:02:24,439 --> 00:02:27,120
Unfortunately they did it up against the Blue Jays World Series,

47
00:02:27,159 --> 00:02:29,800
so I'm sure probably nobody was watching it, but it

48
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,560
is one of my favorite things. They only do it

49
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,240
a couple times a year, but I just love when

50
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,039
it's just NonStop the good play. It's hard to do

51
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,960
with hockey because you don't know when the good play

52
00:02:39,039 --> 00:02:41,199
is going to happen, as compared to football, where's you're

53
00:02:41,199 --> 00:02:44,360
getting closed, something's going to happen here. But it's just

54
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:45,360
a beautiful thing. Man.

55
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,039
Speaker 1: I have to say, I hate it, really yeah, I

56
00:02:49,159 --> 00:02:52,319
like like for as someone watching, sure I love it,

57
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,080
but for fantasy it's a nightmare. I want to know

58
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,599
when I need to start my players. Like yesterday, I'm

59
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,000
in the middle of giving an exam and I'm like, oh,

60
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,120
which goalie do I start? It's two thirty in the

61
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,840
afternoon over here on the West Coast, Like it's way

62
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:07,759
too early. And then then the late game started at

63
00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:11,560
what eight o'clock local time, like eleven PM, Like that's

64
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,000
just not I want to have consistent star times, and

65
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,879
quite frankly, if they want to do this, they don't

66
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:19,479
have to have every team playing. They could have a

67
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,439
bunch of team playing and modify the starts. I don't know,

68
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,240
Like for Fantasy, it's a nightmare because this week sucks

69
00:03:25,599 --> 00:03:28,719
for streaming. All the varied star times were like really

70
00:03:28,759 --> 00:03:31,000
hard to figure out which goalies some teams don't announce

71
00:03:31,039 --> 00:03:33,680
their goalies. Was like, I don't even know who to start,

72
00:03:33,759 --> 00:03:38,240
Like some guys like William Kneelander became available four minutes

73
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:39,479
after the start of the game.

74
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:40,439
Speaker 2: What the heck? Man?

75
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,719
Speaker 1: I oh so I didn't get my Kneelander in anyways,

76
00:03:43,719 --> 00:03:46,000
I'm just complaining because it was really hard to manage

77
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,280
for fantasy. But in terms of highlighting the sport and

78
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:51,840
like having tons of hockey on, that was great, but

79
00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:53,479
a little hard to manage my rosters.

80
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 2: There's a comprom for the two things, Victor. One of

81
00:03:56,719 --> 00:03:59,919
them is we could just the thing that I actually

82
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,719
you know, I like watching the NonStop. But the other

83
00:04:02,759 --> 00:04:05,960
thing that I really appreciate is when we don't have

84
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,800
all the games start at the same time, so that

85
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,360
they all hit intermission at the same time. And I'm like, oh,

86
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,960
I could flip between five games right Oh no, none

87
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,840
of them are happening right now. I just got to

88
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:18,120
sit here and watch somebody jabber at me. I can't

89
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,360
flip to the other ESPN station. Eventually those things get better.

90
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,839
But the other thing, Victor, I heard a solution with

91
00:04:23,879 --> 00:04:28,759
your problem, and that is assign the goalie research as

92
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,079
part of the test. Tell your students open up the internet.

93
00:04:32,199 --> 00:04:36,240
I want to know who's starting tonight for the Colorado

94
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,839
Avalanche and that is going to be scored. That's going

95
00:04:38,879 --> 00:04:40,240
to be great. That's going to be part of your

96
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,759
pass and score and find a way to look at

97
00:04:42,759 --> 00:04:45,560
those in real time victory. These things are simple, man,

98
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:46,519
This is what I would do.

99
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,879
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm sure my Dean would not be bothered by

100
00:04:49,879 --> 00:04:50,319
that at all.

101
00:04:52,399 --> 00:04:54,959
Speaker 2: Victor. Also, your dean would not be bothered by joining

102
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,360
our discord, although we probably shouldn't let him in because

103
00:04:57,399 --> 00:04:59,959
it just makes it hard for you. Oh, that was

104
00:05:00,079 --> 00:05:01,879
the best assumption on my part. You can edit that

105
00:05:01,879 --> 00:05:06,439
out the Royal. He Yeah, the Dean probably right now

106
00:05:06,519 --> 00:05:08,879
not going to be joining the discord, but you could.

00:05:21,399 --> 00:05:21,680
got to.

112
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:31,759
Speaker 3: Talk some hockey today, Victor.

113
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: Today is it's follow up. It's similar to what we

114
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,519
did last week, which is we're going to be talking

115
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,120
about some prospects, checking in on some guys who are

116
00:05:41,399 --> 00:05:44,160
drafted and we're waiting for him, and we want to

117
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,879
know what's going on. These people are sitting in your

118
00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:50,519
minor system if you're in a dynasty league, and the

119
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,879
inquiry minds that people want to know what to make

120
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,480
of these guys. And it's based on an article you

121
00:05:55,519 --> 00:05:59,399
write for Dabber Hockey called the Journey Guys with Plenty

122
00:05:59,439 --> 00:06:02,879
to prove it. Tell us what inspires your selections for

123
00:06:02,959 --> 00:06:06,000
this thing? Yeah?

124
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,759
Speaker 1: Thanks, And I got a shout out Timmy, who I

125
00:06:08,959 --> 00:06:12,680
have discussions about these things with and he often helps

126
00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:16,160
with figuring out the names and then I do the writing.

127
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,879
But a lot of it was like, Okay, who was

128
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,279
injured a lot of last year, that's easy. There's some

129
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,399
guys who missed almost the entire season, which we're going

130
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,720
to talk about. Some guys missed most of the season

131
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,759
or all of it. Some guys missed just a small

132
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,480
or a large chunk and that can always affect you,

133
00:06:30,519 --> 00:06:33,160
but it certainly affects you a lot more when you're eighteen,

134
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,600
nineteen twenty than when you're twenty five twenty six and

135
00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:38,959
you're an established player. So that's really important to see

136
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,480
because you never really know exactly how it's going to

137
00:06:42,399 --> 00:06:45,480
affect things, and so that's why it's interesting to write about.

138
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,240
And the other guys are guys who just frankly sucked

139
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,920
last year. They laid an egg. They didn't really pop

140
00:06:51,959 --> 00:06:53,920
off like you thought. They either took a step back

141
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,879
or didn't take a step forward. Maybe they jumped up

142
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,720
into a new, more difficult league than they were ready

143
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,800
for it had a hard time producing. So there are

144
00:07:01,879 --> 00:07:04,480
lots of different scenarios and so a lot of it

145
00:07:04,519 --> 00:07:06,920
is like looking around your leagues and seeing this guy

146
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,480
I don't know what to do with. He didn't really

147
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,519
progress as I would have liked, or this guy took

148
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,199
a really big step back. Depending on what leagues you follow,

149
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,399
you may notice that. So trying to look at the

150
00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:19,319
larger system of what's going on. Who didn't do what

151
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,879
I thought they were going to do, who took a

152
00:07:21,879 --> 00:07:25,920
step back, or who's PNHL regressed or NHL I don't

153
00:07:25,959 --> 00:07:29,480
always look at the the numbers that closely in terms

154
00:07:29,519 --> 00:07:31,399
of what I'm trying to figure out who to talk about,

155
00:07:31,399 --> 00:07:34,720
because a lot of guys drop and it doesn't necessarily

156
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:37,800
mean anything, especially in hockey prospecting, where if you don't

157
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,680
take a huge step forward going from the WHL to

158
00:07:40,759 --> 00:07:44,439
the NCAA or from USHL to n CUBA, if you

159
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,720
don't take a huge step, you're going to go down

160
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,920
in your percentage, and that doesn't necessarily mean that you're stagnating.

161
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,199
So I tend to look at it more holistically and

162
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,639
just say, Okay, who didn't quite do what I thought

163
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,360
they were going to do next last season?

164
00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 2: Fair enough, and so let's start going through those guys.

165
00:08:03,639 --> 00:08:07,040
And we're going to start by the number four overall

166
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,399
pick of the Columbus Blue Jackets back in twenty twenty four,

167
00:08:10,519 --> 00:08:14,839
it is Caden Lindstrom, and talk about guys who were injured.

168
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,839
Linstrom had a back injury, I believe, if I'm reading

169
00:08:18,879 --> 00:08:21,120
the timeline right, it was known at the time of

170
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,800
the draft, but he had a microdisc ectomy in November

171
00:08:24,839 --> 00:08:27,480
twenty twenty four. He certainly didn't play after the spring

172
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,879
before the draft, and this year after having played I

173
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,200
think in the dub before that is in the NCAA

174
00:08:35,879 --> 00:08:39,840
on Sparti squad Michigan State. He's playing with portamartone, Charlie

175
00:08:39,879 --> 00:08:43,600
strammele riker Lee, Shane Vasagi, Trey Augustine and Gold. They

176
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,000
darn near got Gavin McKenna if you recall that recruiting

177
00:08:47,159 --> 00:08:51,840
push between the two Big ten clubs. Anyway, Lendstrom is

178
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,679
off to a little bit of a slow scoring start.

179
00:08:53,759 --> 00:08:56,799
Two point game so far this year is surrounded by

180
00:08:56,799 --> 00:08:59,399
five zero point games at press time, but he's getting

181
00:08:59,399 --> 00:09:02,000
good reviews play. He's working his way back. You got

182
00:09:02,039 --> 00:09:04,879
to give the guy a break where he hadn't played

183
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:09,320
for over a year and he's in a higher level

184
00:09:09,399 --> 00:09:13,440
than he ever played before that. Caden Lenstrom is back

185
00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:17,559
in action. Victor the NHL rank King Mason Blackpole put

186
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,240
him up against Berkeley Catton, who is the hotness right now,

187
00:09:21,759 --> 00:09:26,200
was drafted four spots after Lindstrom in that draft, and

188
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,000
it's almost unfair because Catton's already burning it up for

189
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,960
this team. But he he won this competition seventy nine

190
00:09:35,039 --> 00:09:39,279
to twenty one percent. It's it's really tough, I think

191
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,080
to compare these guys. But I think the question really

192
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,960
is here, has Linstrom's year of injury meant that he

193
00:09:46,039 --> 00:09:49,840
really should be passed by or are we gonna remember

194
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,759
in a few more months that maybe Linstrom went over

195
00:09:52,799 --> 00:09:54,480
Caton for a reason. What do you think of this thing?

196
00:09:54,639 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: Victor great overview there. I definitely still and I think

197
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,279
you have to give him a little bit of a

198
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,960
mulligan there because he just didn't really play last season.

199
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,519
But I do think that's going to affect him more

200
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,120
than most people. As you mentioned too, there definitely was

201
00:10:12,159 --> 00:10:16,200
the injury concern at the draft, and they took him anyways,

202
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,000
and then the worst fears realized with him missing so

203
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,200
much time. So there's a lot of just who knows

204
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,960
about this guy. I don't think we'll really know until

205
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,120
the end of the season how he's really doing, and

206
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,240
even then we're just gonna have more question marks about

207
00:10:31,279 --> 00:10:35,039
him as he moves forward because he missed so much

208
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,639
time and when he maybe isn't producing as much as

209
00:10:38,639 --> 00:10:40,600
we thought. What is that all going to mean? And

210
00:10:40,639 --> 00:10:43,960
we're going to have a hard time deciding what all

211
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,879
this means because of the time. So this I don't

212
00:10:46,879 --> 00:10:49,960
think this these questions are going to go away anytime soon.

213
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,159
I think that we're going to continue to be puzzled

214
00:10:52,159 --> 00:10:53,840
by him for an east another year or two because

215
00:10:53,879 --> 00:10:56,759
he's missed so much time. But we have to say,

216
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,720
you mentioned the time in Michigan State. He's rocking a

217
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,240
six course. His net expected goals is high, he's hitting

218
00:11:03,279 --> 00:11:05,320
everything in sight on two and a half per game.

219
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,399
He's shooting, he's creating chances. In that sense, he looks

220
00:11:08,399 --> 00:11:11,200
good even if the points aren't all there. Michigan State

221
00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:14,600
is a good team and probably good for Winstrom that

222
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,399
McKenna isn't there taking all the spotlight away. Maybe he

223
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,240
can get a little some of that and rebuild his brand.

224
00:11:20,919 --> 00:11:23,600
But I think that the poll in particular, I think

225
00:11:23,639 --> 00:11:26,360
that I would take Catten here for a couple of reasons. One,

226
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:29,039
Catten is playing in the NHL right now. I think

227
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,639
a lot of us were wondering is he going to

228
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,480
make the jump. He's been awesome in the WHL, but

229
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,200
it's a big jump, and he's one of these guys

230
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:42,840
who would not be eligible for the AHL because of

231
00:11:42,879 --> 00:11:45,720
his age. He's just on the other side of being eligible,

232
00:11:45,799 --> 00:11:47,919
so he would have to go back to junior for

233
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,000
another season and light it up even more. And so

234
00:11:51,159 --> 00:11:53,399
that's a tricky spot to be in. And we've seen

235
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,559
them handle the Shane Wright and give him a conditioning assignment.

236
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,720
If you scratch a player for I forget how many

237
00:11:59,799 --> 00:12:01,279
game games in a row, you can send them on

238
00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:03,759
a conditioning assignment. And that's what they did with Shane Wright,

239
00:12:03,759 --> 00:12:05,559
and they did that a couple of times before they

240
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,960
sent him to the World Juniors, and they might do

241
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,240
something similar with Kadden. But right now he's getting top

242
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,240
line left wing deployment, which is great, I still think,

243
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,000
and this is more of an indictment on Seattle and

244
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,919
the Kraken, but I think he's there forward with the

245
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,399
most offensive talent that they have on their team or

246
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,600
anywhere in their system. Even right now, he's the most

247
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,519
creative and offensively gifted guy. So that's great that he's

248
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,200
getting some time, he's getting some points, and I think

249
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,000
the upside is just higher. The main reason you might

250
00:12:35,039 --> 00:12:38,200
still lean Kadden in this discussion, or sorry, Lindstrom in

251
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,559
this discussion, is that Linstrom when he's healthy, has more

252
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,480
bash and he definitely was someone who would hiten block

253
00:12:44,519 --> 00:12:47,679
and shoot a lot more. But because of the back

254
00:12:47,759 --> 00:12:50,759
injuries and the uncertainty and his development curve. I would

255
00:12:50,799 --> 00:12:53,919
definitely take Catten, and I think the points upside is

256
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,639
just so much more, And I think there's just too

257
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,279
many questions with Lindstrom and the fact that Cadden's already

258
00:12:58,759 --> 00:13:02,120
looking not at a in the NHL. I think you

259
00:13:02,159 --> 00:13:04,159
take that certainty all day and you say, oh, I'm

260
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,879
good with this, Jesse, Are you good with that? Or

261
00:13:05,919 --> 00:13:08,960
would you lean maybe a little bit towards Lindstrom because

262
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,720
of the peripheral coverage.

263
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,159
Speaker 2: It's so hard to go against Katon right now. He's

264
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,879
just so hot. And I agree he's probably headed back down.

265
00:13:17,919 --> 00:13:20,080
He could be back down by the time where your

266
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,559
people are hearing this, because he's near in that nine

267
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,679
game total. I think he's going to surpass nine games

268
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,360
by the time people listen to this. But it's so

269
00:13:29,399 --> 00:13:31,759
hard to go against somebody who's already producing like this

270
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,159
in the NHL. But if you got Berkeley, Caden Lenstrom

271
00:13:35,279 --> 00:13:39,679
is just he's out of mind, but don't discount his possibilities.

272
00:13:41,399 --> 00:13:47,159
Next up, Victor Tidjiginla the Utah Mammoth selection. For obvious

273
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,080
genealogical reasons, he was one of the most talked about

274
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,720
players in the twenty twenty four draft, but his season

275
00:13:53,799 --> 00:13:56,879
was also cut short in this case with what sounds

276
00:13:57,039 --> 00:13:59,759
horrible double hip surgery in December. I don't think you

277
00:13:59,799 --> 00:14:02,600
want hip surgeries when you're in hockey. That seems like

278
00:14:02,639 --> 00:14:05,360
a bad thing. He's back in Cologna now, he's got

279
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,600
two goals in an assist in his first two games.

280
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,639
He's flashing that star potential that people were already looking

281
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:16,000
for with him. Mason Black puts him up against Jake O'Brien,

282
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,000
who was a top pick in this year's draft. Two

283
00:14:19,039 --> 00:14:21,919
picks later, we're going it's all cracking versus all injured

284
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,399
guys to start this episode, and he is synonymous with

285
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,200
smarts and skilled, but he also currently leads the OHL

286
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,200
in scoring over two points per game as the captain

287
00:14:33,399 --> 00:14:36,360
of the best team in the OHL, the Branford Bulldogs

288
00:14:36,519 --> 00:14:39,799
eleven zero two at press time, Victor, who you got

289
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,279
between these two? O'Brien once again is the hotness and

290
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,679
Tijiginla was the hotness who's trying to come back to

291
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,200
his former level of production.

292
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is one of those situations where I think

293
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,360
I can speak on the medical part a little bit,

294
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,080
because in general, you're right, and not all hip surgeries

295
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,720
are created equal. He certainly did not have a hit replacement,

296
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,240
which some people might wonder that would be horrible. But

297
00:15:04,399 --> 00:15:07,679
he had what's called femarac tabular impingement, which means that

298
00:15:07,759 --> 00:15:10,559
there's basically the way that the bone is formed is

299
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,679
a little bit more narrow and it as the hip

300
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,600
as the leg bone tries to move around that socket,

301
00:15:16,679 --> 00:15:18,919
it gets pinched a little bit because of the shape

302
00:15:18,919 --> 00:15:22,919
of the socket holding the femuliar head in there, and

303
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,080
so basically they shaved off part of that. That's not

304
00:15:26,159 --> 00:15:29,200
a big deal. I think that it's a it's something,

305
00:15:29,279 --> 00:15:31,879
but it's not something that should really limit his career,

306
00:15:31,919 --> 00:15:34,159
and he should be more mobile, he should be able

307
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,320
to move easier. And I don't think that's going to

308
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,320
be something that's going to be carried forward. It probably

309
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,759
just moved past him. Should not be a recurring injury.

310
00:15:40,759 --> 00:15:42,559
It was a weird sort of anomaly with the shape

311
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,679
of his hip, and that should be taken care of.

312
00:15:44,759 --> 00:15:48,600
So hopefully that's the case and there's nothing more that

313
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,080
is going to come of that. Although I can see

314
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,679
why some people might be injured might be concerned about that.

315
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,000
It is concerning, though, that t hasn't really had a

316
00:15:57,039 --> 00:15:59,919
whole lot of games. He's basically had. He's played two

317
00:16:00,279 --> 00:16:03,000
as we're recording this so far this season, twenty three

318
00:16:03,039 --> 00:16:05,799
games in the past two seasons, and if you add

319
00:16:05,799 --> 00:16:08,960
on his previous WHL experience, he's still under one hundred

320
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,039
for the last three years. That's not great. So we

321
00:16:12,159 --> 00:16:15,159
really just don't know, and I think that's a big concern.

322
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,840
I think with bloodlines and with all the excitement about him,

323
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,240
I think that there's reason to be somewhat excited, but

324
00:16:22,679 --> 00:16:26,559
I could certainly understand the concerns. Jacobrien is a really

325
00:16:26,639 --> 00:16:32,360
interesting prospect. I think people don't really understand quite how

326
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,600
good he is in terms of his upside, and Branford

327
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,759
should be an absolute wagon this year, so it's going

328
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,240
to be great to watch him just destroy the OHL.

329
00:16:40,279 --> 00:16:43,440
He's already well over two points per game. I could

330
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,960
see him realistically maintaining that all season. So I like O'Brien.

331
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,080
The thing about O'Brien is that he just doesn't shoot.

332
00:16:49,159 --> 00:16:50,759
He's one of these guys that's just going to want

333
00:16:50,759 --> 00:16:52,679
to pass it all the way into the net if

334
00:16:52,679 --> 00:16:56,279
he ever scores and so it's mostly going to be assists.

335
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,600
He doesn't really shoot. He does block a fair amount,

336
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,519
but he doesn't hit, so his peripheral coverage should be minimal.

337
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,480
So he's going to be one of these guys that

338
00:17:04,559 --> 00:17:07,039
might be difficult to roster because it's like, unless he's

339
00:17:07,039 --> 00:17:08,839
getting you and assist, what is he doing for you?

340
00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:12,039
I still think the points upside is massive. I think

341
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,240
O'Brien is an eighty to one hundred point guy at

342
00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:17,079
his peak if everything breaks, and so that's pretty exciting.

343
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,599
This krackn are going to need to get some dang

344
00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:22,799
shooters on their team though, in order to make him

345
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,519
be able to finish those plays that he creates. But

346
00:17:25,559 --> 00:17:27,480
I think in this case, I am going to take O'Brien.

347
00:17:27,559 --> 00:17:30,759
It's razor thin, but I think he has more upside

348
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,960
and I think that he's going to have a monster season.

349
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,720
I'm more comfortable with where his projection is at the moment,

350
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,640
so I'm definitely leaning him. And the other thing that

351
00:17:39,799 --> 00:17:43,680
to note about actually both of these guys is they're

352
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,720
both extremely young for their draft class. O'Brien is a

353
00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:50,440
June sixteenth birthday and teaches an August fourth birthday. So

354
00:17:50,519 --> 00:17:53,440
both of these guys have a lot more development to go.

355
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,440
They were really young when they were selected and they're

356
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,039
still really early on in their career. I'm taking O'Brien.

357
00:17:58,079 --> 00:18:00,519
His hockey prospecting is also way higher than nigan Las,

358
00:18:00,839 --> 00:18:04,279
so I think that there's a little bit more reassurance there.

359
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,400
What do you think, Jesse? Did I explain femora acid

360
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,759
tabular impingement? And can you say that after having three beers?

361
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 2: I can't say it now? And I there was a

362
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,160
femero that's all I got, And that means it's ephemeral.

363
00:18:18,319 --> 00:18:19,960
That means it goes away, and that means you to

364
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,480
give better. That's what I heard. Let's move on, Adam.

365
00:18:23,519 --> 00:18:26,759
You're a Check, the second highest drafted player on Brainford.

366
00:18:26,759 --> 00:18:29,480
We're still with the Branford Bulldogs here. You're a Check.

367
00:18:29,519 --> 00:18:32,279
The younger is maybe what we can call him in

368
00:18:32,319 --> 00:18:35,279
honor of the Robertsons. I think I let my vague

369
00:18:35,319 --> 00:18:37,680
sense of letdown over what his older brother is settled

370
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,519
into rub off on my impression of Adam. But the

371
00:18:40,559 --> 00:18:43,880
young Check is thriving offensively eight points in his first

372
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,279
ten games this year in the OHL. He's even managed

373
00:18:47,559 --> 00:18:50,319
five assists in seven games last year for the bronze

374
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,839
winning Checchia squad at the at the World Juniors. Saint

375
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,240
Lewis's once infinite supply of six million dollar defenseman is

376
00:18:58,279 --> 00:19:01,480
slowly slowly running out in the cabinet there. There's only

377
00:19:01,519 --> 00:19:03,039
a couple of years left for all those guys, so

378
00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:05,319
they're going to need defenseman pretty soon. Those guys are

379
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,160
aging out, and so the number sixteen overall pick from

380
00:19:09,279 --> 00:19:13,480
twenty twenty four year check has plenty of opportunity coming

381
00:19:13,599 --> 00:19:17,480
ahead of him in Saint Louis and the NHL Rankking

382
00:19:17,559 --> 00:19:20,880
Pole puts your check up against Liam Bixel of the

383
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,440
Dallas Stars, a guy who was drafted around the same

384
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,039
part the middle part of the round, but two years earlier,

385
00:19:27,319 --> 00:19:29,759
which means he's already the NHL, which means he's putting

386
00:19:29,799 --> 00:19:34,839
up NHL points. And the thing is a Dallas depth

387
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,680
defenseman is not going to have the opportunities that a

388
00:19:38,839 --> 00:19:41,480
potential Saint Louis defenseman could have. If you believe era

389
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,279
a check has the upside to be a power play

390
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,079
type guy. I think Bixel has a bigger is a

391
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,200
lower cap on his production, but the voters didn't think

392
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,759
so because in the Mason Black Pole sixty five point

393
00:19:54,839 --> 00:19:57,839
six for Bixel thirty four point four for Eur a

394
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:03,720
Check almost a two to one decisive victory victor. I'm surprised,

395
00:20:03,759 --> 00:20:08,839
but is that the way you come out on this? Yeah?

396
00:20:09,039 --> 00:20:12,279
Speaker 1: I love, have loved the year Checks. Definitely been a

397
00:20:12,319 --> 00:20:16,720
disappointed with what has happened with David and one of

398
00:20:16,759 --> 00:20:19,440
our good buddies Tom. He and I made a bet

399
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,440
about Nimh and Yearcheck and we were just joking recently

400
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,640
that it's going to take forever to decide who wins

401
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,839
that bet based on how poor they're both producing, although

402
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,240
Neimah has come on strong lately, so definitely tilting that

403
00:20:31,279 --> 00:20:36,480
way right now. But yeah, Adam has unfortunate that he

404
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,799
also had an injury last year at World Juniors which

405
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,519
limited him. He didn't really play that many games for Branford,

406
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,160
and he actually didn't really look that great. Surprisingly, some

407
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,599
of his underlying metrics, like some of his transition game

408
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,559
looked pretty good, some of his puck battles and loose

409
00:20:51,599 --> 00:20:54,160
puck recovery looked okay, but some of his net expected

410
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,200
goals and fenwick look awful. So that makes me a

411
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,680
little concerned. This is a guy who played professionally before

412
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,359
coming to the OHL. You think this would be a

413
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,119
lot easier for him. Maybe not. You're right that he

414
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,400
looks good so far this year, so I think that

415
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,119
I would probably lean him, although this is definitely one

416
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:11,920
of those cases where it depends on what you want,

417
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,920
because Bixel right now is rocking over three hits per game.

418
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,839
He's the kind of guy who just can win you

419
00:21:17,839 --> 00:21:20,720
your league, and he's only playing fourteen minutes a night.

420
00:21:20,799 --> 00:21:23,000
It's not even playing that much. He's just hitting everything,

421
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,160
but that's all he's going to get for you. He

422
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,480
has one assist in ten games. He definitely seems like

423
00:21:27,519 --> 00:21:29,839
a twenty to thirty point kind of guy. I don't

424
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,000
think he's gonna get a lot of points. And when

425
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,000
you look at Bischel's underlying play driving, it's pretty awful,

426
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,000
like he's getting caved in out there. And I know

427
00:21:39,039 --> 00:21:40,960
in the past I have said Bixel, but it was

428
00:21:41,039 --> 00:21:44,799
confirmed by our Dallas Beat writer that he prefers Bischel.

429
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,200
So it's one of those favra farv situations where it

430
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,480
should be Bixel. But if he wants to say at Bischel,

431
00:21:51,559 --> 00:21:54,599
then whatever, then he can decide that, so we'll call

432
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,359
him Bischel. Yeah, I think that if you want the

433
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,720
guy who's producing now and you want that security of

434
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,839
especially in a categories league, he will literally help you

435
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,880
win your hits categories. But I don't know about you, Jesse,

436
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,759
but this is not the kind of guy that I prefer.

437
00:22:08,839 --> 00:22:11,480
I don't prefer these kind of guys who just dominate

438
00:22:11,519 --> 00:22:14,279
one category and are negative in all the rest of

439
00:22:14,319 --> 00:22:16,720
the categories. I probably wouldn't want to roster a guy

440
00:22:16,799 --> 00:22:18,960
like him in a category league, and in a points

441
00:22:19,039 --> 00:22:22,000
league where you get points for all the different categories.

442
00:22:22,279 --> 00:22:24,799
I think he wouldn't be that valuable because all he

443
00:22:24,839 --> 00:22:27,759
does is hit. He doesn't really do a whole lot else.

444
00:22:27,799 --> 00:22:31,920
He's not really scoring. He has two shots in ten

445
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,799
games right now in the NHL. That's it, doesn't pim

446
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,480
So what are you doing out there? So I think

447
00:22:37,519 --> 00:22:40,279
I would lean Yerchek just because there's more potential there,

448
00:22:40,319 --> 00:22:42,240
more and certainty, but more potential. And I think that

449
00:22:42,839 --> 00:22:45,559
if you can play all the games and not get injured,

450
00:22:45,559 --> 00:22:47,519
then I think that there's a little bit more upside there.

451
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,839
Speaker 2: Fair Enough, mister Bischel, we will move on to Andrew

452
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,839
Basha as the next guy we will discuss. He's a

453
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,680
playmaking scorer. Per the scutt In reports to Calgary Flames Prospect.

454
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,079
He graduates from his years in Medicine Hat and this

455
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,599
year plays in the NHL. In the HL, in fact,

456
00:23:07,599 --> 00:23:10,559
he's a Calgary Wrangler. In fact, that means he actually

457
00:23:10,599 --> 00:23:12,880
plays in the Saddle Dome. That must be weird for

458
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,079
the AHL team to be in the same arena as

459
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,440
the NHL team. It's like, maybe guys will just hang

460
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,079
around the locker room sometimes on Flames game days and

461
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,599
see if they just accidentally get put in because the

462
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,640
team doesn't realize that they're not on the right team.

463
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,920
It probably used the same locker room. Heck, I don't

464
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,599
know that, but and Basha was born in Calgary. His

465
00:23:30,599 --> 00:23:32,759
family probably lives across the street. He just looks over

466
00:23:32,799 --> 00:23:34,400
and sees if somebody left the light on in the

467
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,599
locker room. Anyway. Andrew Basha twenty twenty four second rounder.

468
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,119
He scored well enough in his final year at Medicine Hat,

469
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,799
although it had tamped down from eighty five points to

470
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,519
twenty nine points in twenty three games versus eighty five

471
00:23:49,559 --> 00:23:51,839
and sixty three of the year before the culprit and

472
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,759
ankle injury that stole half of his season. Another one

473
00:23:54,799 --> 00:23:57,640
of these injury bug guys. His pro debut, had two

474
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,440
points in his first five games in the AHL. He's

475
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,599
getting his Sea legs back, So Andrew Bosh is on

476
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,839
the road to recovery and moving up. At the same time,

477
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,119
we are comparing him today to Ethan Gautier. The Mason

478
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:16,279
Black Pole had Gotier of the Tampa Bay Lightning against Basha,

479
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,599
and Basha wins this one big time, eighty six point

480
00:24:19,599 --> 00:24:25,160
five to thirteen point five. Little resistance from Gotier versus Bosha.

481
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:26,079
What do you think, Victor?

482
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 1: Definitely Bosha. For me, this one's actually pretty easy. I

483
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:35,079
think I'm surprised that it's I'm not surprised that it's

484
00:24:35,279 --> 00:24:39,680
so desparate. I'm surprised actually that Mason picked this one.

485
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,200
He usually does a really good job, and I think

486
00:24:42,319 --> 00:24:44,720
in theory they are similar in terms of when they

487
00:24:44,759 --> 00:24:47,799
were drafted and sort of their offensive pedigree. That part

488
00:24:47,839 --> 00:24:51,480
makes sense. But Gotier, he's one of these guys that

489
00:24:51,559 --> 00:24:53,880
I always worry about because he looked great in the queue,

490
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,160
he was scoring. He actually regressed. Actually, he was similar

491
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:58,920
for a couple of years, and then he had a

492
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,079
pretty strong last season in the Q, but he's already

493
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,480
mostly twenty that season, and then he transitions to the

494
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,880
AHL and it hasn't gone swimmingly. It's still early, but

495
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,519
he's the kind of guy who I don't think it's

496
00:25:13,559 --> 00:25:16,240
going to transfer necessarily that well, because I think that

497
00:25:16,759 --> 00:25:18,680
scoring was a little easier in the queue, and I'm

498
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,079
not sure I had him rated as a four point

499
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,920
sixty seven just based on I'm not sure that he's

500
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,079
gonna be able to elevate his scoring. His hockey prospecting

501
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,000
is at two percent, so I know the PNHL leaves

502
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,319
are a little bit closer here, although Basha is still

503
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,960
almost twenty points higher. I have Basha much higher at

504
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,240
a six point three five, so I have a lot

505
00:25:38,279 --> 00:25:41,799
more faith in him. His WHL underlying numbers were generally good.

506
00:25:41,839 --> 00:25:43,559
The main negative I would say about him is he

507
00:25:43,559 --> 00:25:45,799
doesn't really hit or block that much. He blocks some,

508
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,319
but he's basically one of these guys who shoots a lot,

509
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,920
and he's really fast and offensively good. I'm not sure

510
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,160
that his defensive metrics are ever going to be great,

511
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,599
but if his offense continues to be good enough, then

512
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,880
I don't think it's gonna matter too much. And so far,

513
00:26:01,799 --> 00:26:05,240
at least in the limited sample of the WHL we've

514
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,799
sorted the AHL, we've seen some pretty good stuff, and

515
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,519
he was someone who stuck around a little bit longer

516
00:26:09,519 --> 00:26:13,160
in camp than we expected. So I think that this

517
00:26:13,319 --> 00:26:16,799
was pretty clearly Basha for me and boydes Calibery need

518
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,200
some intrusion of talent. I think that's also pretty clear.

519
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,480
One thing that's also interesting about Gotier is Tampa also

520
00:26:22,559 --> 00:26:25,039
needs some young players to step up and move into

521
00:26:25,039 --> 00:26:29,559
their lineup, and we have seen several players pass ethan

522
00:26:29,599 --> 00:26:34,720
Gotier recently. Right, we've seen some guys join the NHL

523
00:26:34,799 --> 00:26:37,680
that we didn't necessarily think of as super high prospects

524
00:26:37,759 --> 00:26:41,279
for Tampa. The Connor Geeky was a trade, but we've

525
00:26:41,319 --> 00:26:44,000
seen Gage Gun Salves. We were never that into him.

526
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,319
He had some potential, but wasn't that exciting. Dominic James

527
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,599
Pontus Holmberg like, these are guys who were playing in

528
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,119
the NHL ahead of him, and that I think says

529
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,000
a lot about how the organization views go Tier two,

530
00:26:56,079 --> 00:26:58,000
because if he was really that highly touted, he would

531
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,839
have stepped in already I think or at least gotten

532
00:26:59,839 --> 00:27:02,200
a lot longer look and he hasn't.

533
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, Yeah, Basha is in the right place for

534
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:11,279
a rebuilding team, for getting opportunities as he gets healthier.

535
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,319
I almost think we need a theme song for Kevin

536
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,680
Korchinsky at this point, victory if I could just get

537
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,160
my act together, because we talk about Kortensky a lot.

538
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,920
I think previously on Fantasy Hockey Life we discussed Korchinsky

539
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,920
getting a full year in twenty three twenty four so

540
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,279
that Chicago could claim at a higher level. He was

541
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,839
a guy who couldn't go to the AHL because of

542
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,200
the WHL agreement, so that kept him away from the

543
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,559
Seattle Thunderbirds, where he had nothing left to prove because

544
00:27:36,599 --> 00:27:40,200
in his teens as a nineteen year old, seventy three

545
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,400
points in fifty four games for the WHL Seattle at

546
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:49,359
nineteen as a defenceman, Folks offense was hard to come by.

547
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,839
Though that first year at the United Center fifteen points

548
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,559
in seventy six games, and then last year he was

549
00:27:54,599 --> 00:27:57,160
able to slow roast in Rockford, which is probably what

550
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:01,079
he needed being in the AHL, picking up skills he'd

551
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,400
need for the long term. He was about a half

552
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,880
point per game in also got sixteen games of death

553
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,759
minutes in Chicago. This year, he again starts in Rockford.

554
00:28:10,279 --> 00:28:13,039
Five assists in six games so far. Guys, still only

555
00:28:13,079 --> 00:28:17,079
twenty one, so let's not think that, if anything, he

556
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,319
was rushed early and we might have to talk about

557
00:28:19,599 --> 00:28:23,359
whether that screwed up his development. In the NHL ranking poll,

558
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,319
we put him up against Kristen Luno of the Anaheim Ducks,

559
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:31,160
yet another in the long line of tantalizing Anaheim defensive

560
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,440
prospects who roll through the Duck system and in many

561
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,319
cases have not turned out to be all that we

562
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,000
hope for, except Jackson Lecomb, who came off the top

563
00:28:40,079 --> 00:28:43,680
rope to become what he has become so far. Luno

564
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,240
wins this matchup. He's probably doing a little bit more

565
00:28:47,359 --> 00:28:50,759
at a higher level than Korchinski has done so far,

566
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,599
especially again as a defenseman. Fifty two points at fifty

567
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,759
nine games last year, plus he also made the Ducks.

568
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:03,240
But he wins fifty six to forty four percent. Luno

569
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,920
is the champion there, but Victor, we are a long

570
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,960
time Korchynsky stands here. Are we gonna quadruple down on

571
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,160
Kevin Korchynsky is a post type guy or given to

572
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:14,319
the Luno love.

573
00:29:16,599 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: I don't know that I'm going to align myself as

574
00:29:20,279 --> 00:29:23,319
a longtime Korczinsky believer. I think I've always been a

575
00:29:23,359 --> 00:29:26,720
little with him, So I'll let you stand on that island.

576
00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:29,319
Speaker 2: Well, long time Korchinsky talkers at least.

577
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:34,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, yeah, yeah, we are definitely a longtime Korzensky talkers. Yeah.

578
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,240
I think that this is it's interesting that people both

579
00:29:37,279 --> 00:29:39,480
these guys have been around the block for a while,

580
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,119
and it's interesting to me that there was a relatively

581
00:29:43,319 --> 00:29:46,160
sound victory for Luno, who I don't know that he's

582
00:29:46,359 --> 00:29:49,440
proved anything either when he's now going to be twenty

583
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,359
two this season, he's had a little stint in the NHL,

584
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,119
hasn't really been able to stick and has been in

585
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,319
the AHL. His underlying numbers there haven't looked very good,

586
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,680
so I'm skeptical about him. I think for me, I

587
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,960
would very clearly pick Korchinski, just because he has a

588
00:30:04,039 --> 00:30:07,400
lot more in terms of investment from the team. Being

589
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,720
such a high pick. He has had a couple of

590
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,480
guys past him at this point. With Rinzel live shunoff plastic,

591
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,119
So that isn't great. But the nice thing about that

592
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,039
is that the Blackhawks aren't necessarily trying to win, and

593
00:30:20,079 --> 00:30:22,559
they seem committed to leaving him in the AHL while

594
00:30:22,599 --> 00:30:25,519
he recaptures his game. Last year, they brought him up

595
00:30:25,559 --> 00:30:27,839
and it didn't really help him. After he looked good

596
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,839
in the HL for a bit this season, just leave

597
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,599
him down there the whole season, however long it takes

598
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:37,039
until he really rediscovers his game, his magic, his offensive creativity,

599
00:30:37,079 --> 00:30:39,960
everything that made him good. So I would at this

600
00:30:40,079 --> 00:30:43,960
point lean Korchinski just because of the post type sleeper issue,

601
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,359
and also I don't have too much faith in Luno,

602
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,759
although hey, as if you're someone who can get Luno

603
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,599
for relatively cheap and he may be able to step

604
00:30:53,599 --> 00:30:56,200
into the NHL soon, then that's exciting.

605
00:30:57,799 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 2: The by low Luno, I love it. Let's move on

606
00:31:01,279 --> 00:31:06,200
to Brad Lambert. Talk about a potential guy who was

607
00:31:06,279 --> 00:31:09,720
taking to throw a roller coaster over the years. First

608
00:31:09,759 --> 00:31:11,920
he was supposed to be one of the biggest prospects

609
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,200
in the draft, and then he really dropped down low

610
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,640
and people were not fond of the way that he

611
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,079
looked in his draft year, and then he had that

612
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:25,279
high when he was coming up that first year post draft,

613
00:31:25,359 --> 00:31:28,400
and then it faded again. He split his games last

614
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,880
year halfway between the Jets and the Moose, or that's

615
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,000
this year. Actually he's split between the Jets and the

616
00:31:33,039 --> 00:31:37,200
Moose up there in Winnipeg. No points yet, but last

617
00:31:37,279 --> 00:31:39,960
year he at least averaged half a point for the

618
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,880
Manitoba Moose. This is his third year where he's had

619
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,960
games for the NHL squad and if someone else knows

620
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,839
exactly what he's going to turn out to be, I

621
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,680
would like them to brief me on it. In this

622
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,039
Mason Black NHL ranking poll, he goes up against Colin Potter,

623
00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:00,400
the number thirty two pick of the Calgary Flame in

624
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,480
this past draft, the receiving end of the horns down

625
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:08,240
from Gavin McKenna when McKenna's Penn State team visited Arizona

626
00:32:08,279 --> 00:32:12,680
State and McKenna taunted them a second time, and so

627
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,799
Potter was three years up the funnel from Brad Lambert

628
00:32:15,839 --> 00:32:19,079
at this point. So he's a bit further off. The

629
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:23,000
people have spoken and they are fond of Potter compared

630
00:32:23,039 --> 00:32:28,640
to Lambert sixty forty split on the vote Victor. I

631
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,519
need to know what's the deal with Brad Lambert these days.

632
00:32:33,079 --> 00:32:35,079
Speaker 1: I also would like to know what the deal with

633
00:32:35,119 --> 00:32:37,960
Brad Lambert. I think we all want to know. Also,

634
00:32:38,039 --> 00:32:41,000
I think McKenna did the forks down. Aren't they like

635
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,119
a pitchfork or something?

636
00:32:43,119 --> 00:32:46,519
Speaker 2: Okay, forks down they're basing or not horns down from Texas.

637
00:32:46,519 --> 00:32:47,640
But yeah, Forkstown, you're.

638
00:32:47,599 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, that was amazing when Andrew and kempe did

639
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,240
that recently in the game against the Stars. The horns

640
00:32:54,279 --> 00:32:58,279
down after winn was awesome. Anyways, Yeah, I don't think

641
00:32:58,319 --> 00:32:59,839
any of us know what the heck to make of

642
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,880
Brad Lambert. I think he's been one of the probably

643
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,799
most confusing players out there. It seems to me like

644
00:33:05,839 --> 00:33:08,640
he's done enough to earn a longer look in the NHL,

645
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,119
but he hasn't gotten it, and every time he does

646
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,559
get in the NHL, it hasn't gone particularly well. He

647
00:33:14,599 --> 00:33:16,039
seemed a little out of place. Part of that I

648
00:33:16,039 --> 00:33:18,039
think just might be the Winnipeg Jets or a really

649
00:33:18,039 --> 00:33:20,519
good team, and it's hard to break into a really

650
00:33:20,559 --> 00:33:23,400
good team like that, so I think that's part of it.

651
00:33:23,599 --> 00:33:26,079
I think this really comes down to for me, who

652
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,039
is what's your time frame here? Because if you want

653
00:33:29,039 --> 00:33:31,119
someone who's really close to NHL right on a team

654
00:33:31,119 --> 00:33:34,559
where I'm competitive, and I want guys that could sneak

655
00:33:34,599 --> 00:33:36,599
into the lineup at any moment, I probably would just

656
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,519
take Lambert. But if I could be patient and I

657
00:33:39,599 --> 00:33:42,119
had a little bit more of a long leash here,

658
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,279
I would take Colin Potter because I think that his

659
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,720
upside is probably similar, maybe even more. His hockey prospecting

660
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,119
can certainly higher. At seven percent chance of being a star.

661
00:33:50,799 --> 00:33:53,559
The P and H league between these two is not great,

662
00:33:54,079 --> 00:33:56,400
and part of that is because Colin Potter played his

663
00:33:56,519 --> 00:33:58,960
draft eligible season in the NCAA, which is really hard

664
00:33:59,119 --> 00:34:00,960
league to score. And think that team should be a

665
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,960
little bit better this year. And I think his upside

666
00:34:03,039 --> 00:34:05,880
is pretty great. He's an incredible skater, even if he's

667
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,320
a bit undersized, and I think that he could really

668
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,360
show out at the World Junior this year. He could

669
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,880
be one of their one of their star players. So

670
00:34:13,519 --> 00:34:15,599
I would take Potter if I was more in a

671
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,400
retool rebuild, but I would take Lambert if I wanted

672
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,320
someone a little bit closer to NH.

673
00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 2: Already very good Victor, let's take a brief break, come

674
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:36,320
back and talk some more prospects. There's a weapon that

675
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:36,719
you know.

676
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 1: And miss name on.

677
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 2: It, Victor. We're gonna try talking about this at this

678
00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:51,800
point in the episodia where we get to the next

679
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,760
prospect to tell people what they could get in our patreon.

680
00:34:57,519 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, lots of great stuff in the Patreon. You can

681
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,800
get access to the player cards, which I use to

682
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,159
prep a lot of episodes. It has transition data, play driving,

683
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:09,559
perperal stats, shooting, passing, expected goals, all kinds of great stuff.

684
00:35:09,599 --> 00:35:13,000
And my ranks, which is the puck stud rating one

685
00:35:13,039 --> 00:35:15,960
to ten and a percentage of getting there. All of

686
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,400
that along with some other ranks, tiers and content that

687
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,400
you can only get on the website. And you can

688
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:27,039
get access to patron casts and DM messages and advice

689
00:35:27,079 --> 00:35:29,880
and all that kind of stuff. So definitely check it

690
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,079
out over at Fantasy Hockeylife dot com for the website

691
00:35:33,119 --> 00:35:35,800

00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:36,199
a member.

693
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 2: Next we go to Beckett Seneca. He jumps from the

694
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,480
Ohl to the Anaheim Ducks. This year, he has played

695
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,639
pretty well for the Ducks, finding himself on the scoreesheet

696
00:35:47,679 --> 00:35:50,440
five times in his first eight games. He is a

697
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,800
slide candidate. Very likely by the time you're listening to this,

698
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,360
his day job will be back in Ashawa. I hope

699
00:35:57,519 --> 00:36:00,559
he did not sell his parka toke and no shovel

700
00:36:01,199 --> 00:36:04,679
when he left ashawat But here's hoping he's up against

701
00:36:04,679 --> 00:36:09,119
Frank Naser in the NHL ranking pole, who has absolutely

702
00:36:09,119 --> 00:36:12,960
been on fire for the Blackhawks. When I watch Blackhawks

703
00:36:13,039 --> 00:36:15,679
broadcast lately, it seems like they just talk about him

704
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:19,280
and Bidard in the same breath now and watching their games.

705
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,519
He's he has definitely stepped up and become really good.

706
00:36:23,039 --> 00:36:26,679
Tell me the comparison Victor Naser, who won this poll

707
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:31,159
sixty eight to thirty two over Seneca.

708
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 1: Anyone who's watching the NHL right now, it's hard to

709
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,400
not want any part of Frank Nazer on your team.

710
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,480
He's just looked awesome and yeah, but something we've talked

711
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,440
a little bit. There's been a little discourse about Badard

712
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,760
and the reality is that he's an awesome player, but

713
00:36:48,039 --> 00:36:50,239
he's not I don't really know that he's going to

714
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,639
be a center. He often needs someone to help him

715
00:36:52,639 --> 00:36:55,559
out to drive the play to entry zones like he

716
00:36:55,559 --> 00:36:58,199
he and that's going to be the same concerns with McKenna.

717
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,239
You look at Celebrini, he doesn't need that. He'll do

718
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,519
all that himself. He'll get in the zone, he'll create,

719
00:37:03,559 --> 00:37:06,280
he'll set up, he'll attract pressure. He can shoot, he

720
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,800
can assist, he can do all that. Badard certainly has

721
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,159
had less to work with, and so that's been an issue.

722
00:37:12,159 --> 00:37:14,320
But I know we're talking about Nazar, but the point

723
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:18,039
is Nazar can do all that. He's transitioning, he's scoring,

724
00:37:18,079 --> 00:37:20,440
he's shooting, he's creating, he's helping everyone around him be

725
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,920
a lot better, and there seems to be less of

726
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,000
that from Bdard, which is interesting. So straight up, who

727
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,639
would you want there? It seems wild that you would

728
00:37:28,679 --> 00:37:31,800
even have that discussion before last season or the middle

729
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,920
of last season, Connor Bdard or Frank Nazar. And now

730
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,639
it's it's actually probably still relatively easy, but maybe you're

731
00:37:37,679 --> 00:37:39,280
thinking about it a little bit more. They seem to

732
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,480
be a little bit more even than others might have thought,

733
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,920
So I think that's making you want to lean Bazar Seneca.

734
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,559
I think people were surprised that he made the ducks

735
00:37:48,559 --> 00:37:50,960
and has been he was actually really bad the first

736
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,960
game or two, and then he's really turned it around

737
00:37:53,039 --> 00:37:55,800
and it's figuring it out. So I still like him.

738
00:37:56,039 --> 00:37:59,440
Between the two, I think that there's the hockey prospect

739
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,800
anyways a little bit higher potential for Seneca, but I

740
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,039
think that I would go based on what I've seen

741
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,280
from Nazarre, and I think I would take him. Actually,

742
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,639
I think the upside is super high. The guy has

743
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,119
just been incredible. He went to the Worlds, played against

744
00:38:12,119 --> 00:38:14,840
the best players in the world and stood out. He's

745
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:16,840
already doing it. He's already doing it, and he seems

746
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,159
to be ahead of schedule, ahead of Seneca. Even though

747
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,639
my ranks are right now have Seneca a little bit higher,

748
00:38:21,679 --> 00:38:24,760
but I think based on the next iteration and when

749
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:26,159
I adjust this, I think I'm going to have to

750
00:38:26,159 --> 00:38:28,079
move in Nazarre up a bit, just based on what

751
00:38:28,119 --> 00:38:28,639
he's been doing.

752
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 2: Tariq Parasac of the Washington Capitals demolished Prince George last year.

753
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,119
He's doing so again this year. Last year was he

754
00:38:38,199 --> 00:38:40,760
and Riley Height there were the top two scores on

755
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,079
a playoff team in Prince George. He even got a

756
00:38:44,079 --> 00:38:46,400
game with the Hershey Bears in the AHL and as

757
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,159
I prep this, he has goals in four stree games

758
00:38:50,039 --> 00:38:54,320
back in Prince George. Definite offensive potential the Caps could

759
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:58,039
use from their mid twenty twenty mid first round of

760
00:38:58,039 --> 00:39:02,559
twenty twenty four pick. He's up because yeah, who wins

761
00:39:02,559 --> 00:39:06,320
this one substantially fifty seven to forty three. This is

762
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,480
the two week trend of Parasac or rature that we're

763
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,119
dealing with in the polls. Neieman is further along, two

764
00:39:12,159 --> 00:39:15,599
years further along, thrived with Coachilla Valley last year and

765
00:39:15,679 --> 00:39:19,440
debuted with Seattle Victor what's the deal eyes in Parasak

766
00:39:19,559 --> 00:39:22,039
winning this poll.

767
00:39:22,079 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 1: I think there have long been questions about Parasax, just

768
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,119
about his skating, his off puck play, his compete level.

769
00:39:28,639 --> 00:39:31,559
All those are actually show up a little bit in

770
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,639
the data and the Planet's Hockey Life player card. And

771
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:36,760
it's never been about the points with him. It's about

772
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,960
how all the other things and how he does. And

773
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,760
then last year he actually made he actually regressed a bit,

774
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:46,280
and so that was concerning that his points actually regressed.

775
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,679
So far he's putting that to bed this year, but

776
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,800
I still think that there's some mild concerns there and

777
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,719
Jannie Newman, who Yeah, I mean he's been getting some

778
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,280
decent looks in the NHL. He had, he hads some

779
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,880
peripheral coverage. He's giving you some hits. Doesn't shoot a lot,

780
00:40:01,119 --> 00:40:04,239
but he's his shooting percentage is really high, So there's

781
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,719
a little bit better Perferle floor there. But I think

782
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,199
if you wanted to swing, I think the better swing

783
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,679
is Derek Parasak. I think he has a lot more upside.

784
00:40:12,039 --> 00:40:14,199
But if you want the guy producing now, that's more

785
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,159
of a sure thing because I think Newman sticks around.

786
00:40:16,199 --> 00:40:18,679
I think he's going to be there where he fits

787
00:40:18,679 --> 00:40:22,039
in the lineup, and how Seattle deploys their lineups is

788
00:40:22,079 --> 00:40:25,639
always a bit of a nightmare. I really despise hating owning,

789
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,480
Rostering Krack and players because of that, because they just

790
00:40:28,519 --> 00:40:31,639
want an even top nine or even top all twelve.

791
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,639
That's really challenging. But I think that right now, on

792
00:40:35,679 --> 00:40:38,480
the bright side, he's playing with Right and Schwartz, which

793
00:40:38,519 --> 00:40:41,800
is pretty decent spot. You'd like him to have a

794
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,880
little bit more of better deployment, but it's decent. So

795
00:40:45,159 --> 00:40:48,119
I think if you're happy with decent production now, than

796
00:40:48,159 --> 00:40:49,960
take Newman. But if you want to take a big swing,

797
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,039
then Parasack is a good one to swing on for sure.

798
00:40:54,159 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 2: Trevor Connelly we've talked about also many times on the show.

799
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:02,280
It feels like scoring prodigy, or offensive prodigy at least,

800
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,159
of whom we have often asked, can he do other things?

801
00:41:05,639 --> 00:41:10,039
His production beyond the USHL draft here has never been outstanding,

802
00:41:10,519 --> 00:41:12,840
and he took a bad leg injury over the summer

803
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,519
which delayed his progress this year. Yeah, we've just wondered

804
00:41:16,519 --> 00:41:19,159
a lot I know about Trevor Connolly. And in the

805
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:23,599
NHL ranking poll, he's up against Braden Yeger, who was

806
00:41:23,679 --> 00:41:27,119
the guy who came back for Rutger McGroarty from Pittsburgh

807
00:41:27,159 --> 00:41:31,360
in the big trade last year and the captain of

808
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,559
what turned out to be an underwhelming World Junior's Canada

809
00:41:34,599 --> 00:41:38,119
team just a year ago. But Jeger continues to plug along.

810
00:41:38,159 --> 00:41:40,239
Looks like he'll be a reliable guy. He's in the

811
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,800
AHL and doing his thing. I guess I'm not surprised

812
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,280
to see Yeager win this poll fifty seven to forty three.

813
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,039
But I just don't know what to make of Connolly.

814
00:41:49,079 --> 00:41:51,800
He seems like he's always been this high upside, low

815
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:53,320
floor type guy. What do you think?

816
00:41:56,039 --> 00:42:00,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely agree with this poll. I think I

817
00:42:00,039 --> 00:42:02,519
think actually it should be more skewed. Connelly is such

818
00:42:02,519 --> 00:42:04,000
an interesting guy and I try not to read too

819
00:42:04,039 --> 00:42:06,719
much into this. He had some off ice issues and

820
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,039
he had some sort of trouble fitting in with the

821
00:42:09,039 --> 00:42:11,880
World junior team. But also it's my understanding that he

822
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,199
was advised to stay in the USHL another year and

823
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,719
he went to the NCUBLEA, and then he was advised,

824
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,760
you didn't have the best Ncublea year, you should probably

825
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:21,639
stick around for another year of college, and he decided

826
00:42:21,679 --> 00:42:24,280
he wanted to go to the HL. So it seems

827
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:28,880
like he's also not necessarily taking the best advice in

828
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:30,639
terms of where he should play, and I think it's

829
00:42:30,639 --> 00:42:32,679
showing up in his production. He didn't. I mean, he

830
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,639
had a good USHL season, but I don't think it

831
00:42:35,679 --> 00:42:39,000
would have been bad for him to have another time there.

832
00:42:39,119 --> 00:42:42,920
And his NCUBLEA season was really nothing to write home about.

833
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,519
Thirteen points in twenty three games is fine, but it's

834
00:42:45,599 --> 00:42:49,559
not like amazing top prospect kind of domination. So you'd

835
00:42:49,559 --> 00:42:51,800
think maybe he could stick around for another year and

836
00:42:52,039 --> 00:42:54,920
really dominate. And he went to Henderson had four points

837
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:56,920
in six games, and that's fine. He was a minus

838
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,159
two and his play driving was awful, but hey, at

839
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,079
least he got some point point. It's so far this

840
00:43:01,119 --> 00:43:03,519
season he's been a bit dinged up and hasn't played

841
00:43:03,519 --> 00:43:06,360
a game yet, So I don't know. I just think

842
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,239
that he's the kind of guy that will continue good

843
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,840
opportunities because he has tons of offensive creativity. But I'm

844
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,159
just not sure that it's actually going to fully translate,

845
00:43:14,199 --> 00:43:16,320
and I think he's someone who may be really frustrating

846
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,880
for you to roster all that. To be all that

847
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,920
to say, I definitely would take Yeger. I think maybe

848
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,679
his floor is a little lower, his ceiling is a

849
00:43:24,679 --> 00:43:26,719
little lower, but I think a ceiling is still really high.

850
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,960
His hockey prospecting is still higher than Connolly's, even though

851
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,039
it's a seesawed a bit. But he's still had some

852
00:43:32,079 --> 00:43:36,199
pretty great WHL production last season. And yeah, he's transitioning

853
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,519
to the AHL right now, so that might be a

854
00:43:39,559 --> 00:43:42,239
little bit difficult. But three points in seven games is

855
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:43,960
not bad, and I think that if he can hover

856
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,920
around half point per game, that's a success. And it

857
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,199
may take him another season to get to the NHL,

858
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,039
but I think that he's someone who is going to play.

859
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,000
It's just a matter of how high the upside is.

860
00:43:53,039 --> 00:43:56,039
So I definitely would want Yeger here. He I wish

861
00:43:56,039 --> 00:43:58,079
there was a little bit more Perferble coverage with Yeger.

862
00:43:58,119 --> 00:44:00,920
That's really unfortunate thing. He's like shots and points only

863
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,679
kind of guy. But I think his transition game in

864
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:05,639
his off put game is good enough that he's gonna

865
00:44:05,679 --> 00:44:08,880
warrant long looks and a lot of opportunity to the NHL,

866
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:10,599
which I'm not sure you can say the same about

867
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:12,039
Trevor Connelly, Jesse.

868
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,679
Speaker 2: Victor Matthew Poatraw. Is he gonna end up telling his

869
00:44:17,679 --> 00:44:20,119
grand kids about the fall of twenty twenty three when

870
00:44:20,159 --> 00:44:23,880
Grandpa's somewhat unexpectedly debuted and blew up for the very

871
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:27,440
strong Boston Bruins eleven points in twenty two games that fall.

872
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,360
It was a magical run. Then he was flown to

873
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,559
the World Juniors from the Bruins. Seemed like it was

874
00:44:34,599 --> 00:44:37,400
like the middle of the night air drop of patras

875
00:44:37,679 --> 00:44:39,880
as the missing piece to a Canadian goal that didn't

876
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:41,880
work out. He ended up with the shoulder injury he

877
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,039
prematurely ended that season and basically he's been in Providence

878
00:44:45,599 --> 00:44:49,119
HL most of the time since He's still only twenty one, though,

879
00:44:49,159 --> 00:44:52,639
and he's had NHL success at a younger, much younger

880
00:44:52,679 --> 00:44:56,159
age than he is. He's playing well so far this season,

881
00:44:56,639 --> 00:44:59,079
and you've probably stared at him on the waiver wire

882
00:44:59,119 --> 00:45:01,519
for the last two years in your fantasy leagues, unless

883
00:45:01,559 --> 00:45:03,480
you continue to roster him for a whole year after

884
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:05,440
he went to the AHL, which probably some of you

885
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:09,559
did that as well. But it sure seems like this

886
00:45:10,039 --> 00:45:12,400
is a guy poised to be a post hype sleeper,

887
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,719
a guy who had forty one points in forty games

888
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:19,440
in Providence last year and has shown potential for much more.

889
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,599
But Britain Kots of the Vancouver Canucks, who was just

890
00:45:23,679 --> 00:45:27,519
drafted this past year at number fifteen overall and is

891
00:45:27,679 --> 00:45:32,320
doing his work in the WHL as opposed to the AHL,

892
00:45:32,639 --> 00:45:36,320
wins handily in a poll up against the victor sixty

893
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,239
seven to thirty three percent. Victor. Is this just about

894
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:42,079
the flavor of the month, or has Patra kind of

895
00:45:42,119 --> 00:45:44,480
proven with the max of what he can be while

896
00:45:44,519 --> 00:45:45,199
Kots is not.

897
00:45:48,159 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: Maybe a little calm, a little columb I think it

898
00:45:50,079 --> 00:45:52,119
might be a little bit of both. I think Coots

899
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:56,039
is way better than we thought. I remember at the

900
00:45:56,119 --> 00:45:58,840
draft when they had Victor Ecklin there and how much

901
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,760
the Canuck like Swedes. I thought that they would go

902
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:03,639
that way, but it was very clear that they wanted

903
00:46:03,639 --> 00:46:06,559
a center and he was the last of the what

904
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,119
people thought of as a tier of the centers, and

905
00:46:09,199 --> 00:46:12,840
so that's why he went there. And he definitely, I

906
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,840
remember looking into it, he's got a huge, perferal floor.

907
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:19,199
He didn't show it necessarily in his brief NHL stint,

908
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,280
and it was crazy that he made the Canucks and

909
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,199
played a few games, which was good for him, good

910
00:46:23,199 --> 00:46:25,400
feather in his cap. But the Canucks did the right

911
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,679
thing by sending him back. He held his own a bit.

912
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:30,840
He was definitely a bit underwater a lot of times

913
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,280
in the NHL. But send him back, let him keep

914
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:37,480
his confidence and destroy the WHL, which is what he's doing.

915
00:46:38,079 --> 00:46:40,280
But Kots, Yeah, if you like guys that hit and

916
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,480
block and shot and get face off wins and have

917
00:46:42,599 --> 00:46:45,280
excellent transition, like he's all of that. He might even

918
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:48,480
pim to some extent as well. So definitely a high

919
00:46:48,519 --> 00:46:51,519
floor guy. The ceiling maybe isn't super high, but He's

920
00:46:51,599 --> 00:46:54,719
like an awesome third line center, maybe a second line center,

921
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:58,000
depending on how much offense he shows. So I definitely

922
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,920
would like him, and I don't think that's necessarily indicative

923
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,440
of Wuatra struggles, but I don't think it helps. And

924
00:47:04,559 --> 00:47:08,559
I definitely think that when Matthew Puachra retires, he's going

925
00:47:08,639 --> 00:47:10,719
to talk about how he made the NHL at such

926
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:12,840
a young age to his grandkids, and that was an

927
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,239
incredible feat. But I also feel like the Bruins did

928
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,920
him a disservice because I think they relied on him

929
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:19,760
too much at that time. They put too much on

930
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,320
his plate. They forced him to really change his style

931
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:24,800
and be more careful and be afraid to make mistakes

932
00:47:25,159 --> 00:47:28,679
and not be as creative. And I also just wonder

933
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:30,920
he was ever really that good or they just really

934
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,079
wanted him to be the player that they needed him

935
00:47:33,119 --> 00:47:35,239
to be at that time instead of let him be

936
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,039
who he could be. And I think that's not necessarily fair.

937
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:40,559
I still think that he can be a fine like

938
00:47:40,639 --> 00:47:43,480
bottom sixer, but I actually never really got on board

939
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,599
with the fact that this guy is like amazing. Now.

940
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:48,159
I said, yeah, go get him because he's playing, But

941
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,639
what is the upside there. He's also one of these

942
00:47:50,639 --> 00:47:53,880
guys that doesn't shoot for that much. He doesn't really

943
00:47:54,199 --> 00:47:56,440
do anything else. He doesn't hit, he doesn't block, he

944
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,639
doesn't really do anything like he's just out there. He's

945
00:47:58,679 --> 00:48:01,199
like you're Alex Wenberg type. It just doesn't really do anything.

946
00:48:01,199 --> 00:48:04,639
He might get some assists here and there, but that's

947
00:48:04,679 --> 00:48:07,440
not super exciting in fantasy. So yeah, I definitely would

948
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:10,000
take Coots here, and if I have I think I

949
00:48:10,039 --> 00:48:11,920
do have Pachua in one league where I can just

950
00:48:12,119 --> 00:48:14,559
hold guys for a couple hundred games, and that's probably

951
00:48:14,599 --> 00:48:17,039
what I'll do, and I'll use him while he's miners eligible,

952
00:48:17,079 --> 00:48:18,880
and then when he's not, I'll probably just drop him

953
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,280
because I don't know that he's ever going to be

954
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:22,639
that exciting in fantasy.

955
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:28,840
Speaker 2: Last guy for today Victor Joshua Waw of the Montreal Canadians.

956
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,519
Not only in Montreal Canadians. This guy started in the QMGHL,

957
00:48:32,679 --> 00:48:34,559
then he went to Laval, then he went to Montreal.

958
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,440
His name is Wa for Pete's sake, this is some

959
00:48:37,559 --> 00:48:41,239
serious This is some serious Quebec energy here. I really

960
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,480
want to know more about him because he's been sitting

961
00:48:43,519 --> 00:48:45,840
in my miners for a while in one of my leagues.

962
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,400
His third straight year where he's got some time in

963
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,199
Montreal as well as Laval, and he's just killed in

964
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,639
Laval when he's been down there. It's not like he's small.

965
00:48:54,039 --> 00:48:56,800
He's had a decent impact already when he's been in

966
00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:00,360
the age the NHL over his career, but he hasn't

967
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:04,679
really stuck for permanent time in any way yet. And

968
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:08,280
he's up against Denver Barkie in the NHL ranking poll,

969
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:12,599
former third round pick of the Philadelphia Flyers, who is

970
00:49:12,639 --> 00:49:14,880
also sad at the depths of some of my rosters

971
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,800
I think. And after four years tearing it up with

972
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,639
the London Knights last year as their captain, he is

973
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,840
moving to the AHL as well. Both guys were relatively

974
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:28,599
late draft picks, but Wah is a little bit further back. Oh, Victor,

975
00:49:28,639 --> 00:49:32,000
you're frowning. Did he go to the Why are you frowning?

976
00:49:32,079 --> 00:49:33,800
Speaker 1: Victor? Not because of you? Sorry?

977
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:40,639
Speaker 2: Oh? Okay, the rug Yeah. Josh Joshua Wan Denver Barkie

978
00:49:40,679 --> 00:49:42,440
are up against each other in this poll. It's a

979
00:49:42,679 --> 00:49:46,480
fifty to fifty dead even split for the two. Victor

980
00:49:46,639 --> 00:49:49,760
Explain why versus Barkie. Where do I want to go here?

981
00:49:51,599 --> 00:49:54,079
Speaker 1: I think you want to go whah. And it's funny

982
00:49:54,119 --> 00:49:56,239
that it's a dead even tie. Maybe that's just the

983
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,840
big shoulder shrug from our voters. I don't really know

984
00:49:59,039 --> 00:50:03,280
who to pick. I think that both have some interesting factors.

985
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:05,119
I think people have a lot of people have given

986
00:50:05,159 --> 00:50:07,039
up on Joshua. I have him in a couple of

987
00:50:07,079 --> 00:50:09,440
weeks too, and I've been Yeah, I don't really know

988
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:13,599
what to say either. He definitely, from what I gathered

989
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,760
last two seasons ago, when he played a good number

990
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,559
of games, came to the NHL, came to camp thinking

991
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,119
expecting that he was just going to play, and he

992
00:50:23,599 --> 00:50:25,920
had too many assumptions there. Then he went down to

993
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:29,480
LaVall and he did rEFInd his magic his game there.

994
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,039
So far this season he's only gotten into one game,

995
00:50:32,079 --> 00:50:34,519
but he's been great in Laval. I think this is

996
00:50:35,639 --> 00:50:38,760
both a factor of they need guys in the NHL

997
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:43,079
who are strong play drivers and off puck, and they

998
00:50:43,159 --> 00:50:45,480
want to be a playoff team, and it's a little

999
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,280
bit harder for him to break in at this point

1000
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:48,920
than it was a couple of years ago, when the

1001
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:50,840
expectations were a little bit lower, so I think that's

1002
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:54,519
part of it. I think he is He's not the

1003
00:50:54,559 --> 00:50:56,559
fastest guy, so he's one of these guys who just

1004
00:50:56,599 --> 00:51:00,360
thinks really fast and is really good at playmaking. So

1005
00:51:00,679 --> 00:51:03,159
the question is like, how useful is that right now?

1006
00:51:04,559 --> 00:51:07,079
And I'm not sure that it's fit into exactly what

1007
00:51:07,159 --> 00:51:09,480
they need. So I don't think it's necessarily at this

1008
00:51:09,599 --> 00:51:11,880
point a problem with him. It's more of what they

1009
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,960
need and they haven't really needed his prototype, especially with

1010
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:19,000
Demadov there, so I think it isn't entirely his fault.

1011
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:20,320
But I think that they are going to find a

1012
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:22,159
spot for him, especially if there's an injury. I think

1013
00:51:22,159 --> 00:51:23,400
he's going to come up. I think he's going to

1014
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:25,320
slot in. I think he's going to be productive. So

1015
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:29,400
I definitely still have some faith in Joshua and I

1016
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:32,719
would take him Denver Barkie. He's someone every time you

1017
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:34,880
talk about a player from the Knights, and in particular

1018
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:36,840
in a year where the Knights won the Memorial Cup,

1019
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:39,039
you have to be extremely skeptical because that team was

1020
00:51:39,079 --> 00:51:42,920
absolutely loaded, and I think he benefited from a little

1021
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,639
bit from the environment. I think that he's one of

1022
00:51:45,679 --> 00:51:48,039
these players who's never going to be as good as

1023
00:51:48,039 --> 00:51:49,519
he was in junior. I think that's true for a

1024
00:51:49,559 --> 00:51:51,920
lot of guys, but I think that him in particular,

1025
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,360
he's going to struggle with the transition and he's one

1026
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:56,599
of these energy guys. I think you look at Gavin Brindley,

1027
00:51:57,039 --> 00:51:59,440
I think Denver Barkie could be similar to that. Like

1028
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:03,039
he could get some opportunity, he can play some games,

1029
00:52:03,079 --> 00:52:05,159
but like how high is his upside in fantasy? I

1030
00:52:05,199 --> 00:52:08,079
think it's limited. So I would definitely take Wat just

1031
00:52:08,559 --> 00:52:11,679
for various reasons. He's been there before, he's close, and

1032
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:13,920
also I think his upside is higher. He doesn't have

1033
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,679
the size issues. Certainly, he doesn't skate as well as Barkie,

1034
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:20,000
but I think there's size and there's translatability and scoring

1035
00:52:20,039 --> 00:52:23,760
concerns with Barkie. So I'm going Joshua here, Jesse.

1036
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:27,800
Speaker 2: Very well, Victor. That has been our run through the

1037
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:32,000
guys from the journey over at Dabber. People should follow

1038
00:52:32,039 --> 00:52:34,760
that and check it out. There's no paywall there, right, Victor.

1039
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:38,000
People can check out your thoughts that you're periodically putting

1040
00:52:38,039 --> 00:52:40,239
out there, and if you're a patron, you also can

1041
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:42,280
give Victor some input on guys you'd like to see

1042
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:46,000
covered anything else before we get the close out here today, Victor.

1043
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:49,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely read the journey that's free at Daber Hockey

1044

1045
00:52:53,079 --> 00:52:55,400

1046
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:59,159
want to hear about, different ideas, themes, guys, players, names, whatever,

1047
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:01,599
pass it along. There's a channel in the discord where
