00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 2: Here's shits, your.

3
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,039
Speaker 1: Source of information and analysis to help you win your

00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:16,160
fantasy hockey league.

5
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 3: Block of hot a step hit on staylock blocks.

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: Here's your hosts, Jesse sovi here and Victor Nuno.

7
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 2: Fantasy Hockey Live once again. Jesse Severe Nuno of Daber Hockey,

8
00:00:28,839 --> 00:00:31,960
Victor Nuno of McKean's and many places. How are you

9
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,000
doing today, buddy.

10
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,679
Speaker 3: They're awesome, Jesse. Yeah, good, good to be with you

11
00:00:35,719 --> 00:00:39,039
again and excited for some more good discussion here. How

12
00:00:39,079 --> 00:00:39,759
are you, my friend?

13
00:00:40,439 --> 00:00:43,719
Speaker 2: I'm good. I'm good. Back in the saddle talking a

14
00:00:43,719 --> 00:00:47,119
little bit of fantasy hockey prospect business, a little dynasty

15
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,759
business today, so we will. We will get to that.

16
00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:53,159
But I don't know, Victor, are there any other things

17
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,439
on your mind? What's going on in California life? Are

18
00:00:55,439 --> 00:00:57,280
you getting this cold snap that everybody else is.

19
00:00:59,119 --> 00:01:02,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had some different weather. It's certainly not the

20
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,640
Snowmageddon or any of this. I saw a picture of

21
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,599
the airport in Toronto the other day that was bonkers. No,

22
00:01:08,719 --> 00:01:11,400
we're not like that, but it was. It was colder

23
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,079
than usual. It was in the thirties for a good

24
00:01:14,079 --> 00:01:16,879
part of the day, which is unusual for January and California.

25
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,159
But then it flipped today and it started raining and

26
00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:22,519
warmed up. But all in all, I remember, I'm reminded

27
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,640
often of friends that I have, especially that play disc golf,

28
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,439
or do you like to do things outside that you

29
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,920
just can't do for four to five months out of

30
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,480
the year, and no matter how bad the weather is here,

31
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,680
I can do that pretty much if I just tolerate

32
00:01:35,719 --> 00:01:37,959
a little bit of colder, wetness.

33
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:39,159
Speaker 1: So it's all ye.

34
00:01:40,719 --> 00:01:43,239
Speaker 2: I'm not familiar with disc golf. I've never played it.

35
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,040
I did throw a frisbee once as a kid, but

36
00:01:46,239 --> 00:01:48,239
I'm not familiar with the disc golf, and imagine the

37
00:01:48,239 --> 00:01:51,519
frisbee is insulting to the disc golf community. But I

38
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,040
wonder if you come up and you play in below

39
00:01:54,159 --> 00:01:56,799
zero conditions like here, maybe the disc would fly better.

40
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,200
Maybe you should try it like ten below like it

41
00:01:59,239 --> 00:02:01,840
is here. Just go throw that disc, see what happens.

42
00:02:02,519 --> 00:02:04,079
Speaker 1: I have played when I live in Michigan.

43
00:02:04,319 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 3: I played with foot and a half of snow on

44
00:02:05,879 --> 00:02:08,560
the ground and it was twenty five degrees. I will

45
00:02:08,599 --> 00:02:11,240
play in any any weather, I'm not a fair weather

46
00:02:11,439 --> 00:02:13,039
kind of disc golfer. In fact, I went on a

47
00:02:13,039 --> 00:02:15,560
trip to Massachusetts a couple of years ago and it

48
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,000
was snowing and just bleak, and the family stayed in

49
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,639
the car and said, you're crazy, And I went out

50
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,400
and played. I will do it doesn't matter to me.

51
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,400
But yeah, it's a good time.

52
00:02:25,319 --> 00:02:28,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Victor, we should probably get to the mute.

53
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:40,919
So right after this, we're coming back to talk project. Today, Victor,

54
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,599
we're doing another Scalps tout. We're going to talk about

55
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,599
another few players that are coming up in dynasty hockey

56
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,360
leagues people ought to know about, and it's going to

57
00:02:50,439 --> 00:02:54,199
start with Cole McKinney. He is a two way centerman

58
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,280
who was originally from Chicago. We drafted by the San

59
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,280
Jose Sharks, having a decent year moving up from the

60
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,080
national team development program to the NCAA University of Michigan.

61
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,159
He's in middle six minutes, scoring about half a point

62
00:03:07,159 --> 00:03:09,159
per game. But unless you think that that means he's

63
00:03:09,199 --> 00:03:12,280
not so good, Michigan is freaking loaded. I went, I

64
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:15,639
didn't realize how good Michigan has been this year. Best wins,

65
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,680
best record in the NCAAA at press time, thirteen wins,

66
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,639
three losses, two overtime wins. Pretty good. He also played

67
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,080
a depth role at the World Juniors for Team USA.

68
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,120
FHL scout Jeremy has this to say about Cole McKinney.

69
00:03:30,199 --> 00:03:33,759
He is a average skater. There's nothing wrong with this skating,

70
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,680
but Jeremy doesn't see him to be a burner at

71
00:03:36,719 --> 00:03:40,520
the NHL level. Passing and handley surprisingly good handles, not

72
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,479
going to wow you, but can make the easy play

73
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,919
whenever needed. McKinney has an above average shot, although Jeremy'd

74
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,960
like to see him take it more, averaging under two

75
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,280
shots per game at Michigan. The IQ, though, where Cole

76
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,240
McKinney shines both offensively and defensively, seems to be in

77
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,879
the right positions all the time. It does make the

78
00:03:57,919 --> 00:04:00,639
rest of his game look a bit pedestrian. He rarely

79
00:04:00,759 --> 00:04:03,680
has to make an impressive play. He keeps it simple.

80
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,919
Above average on the four check. A strong guy, but

81
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,879
not a physical one necessarily. Jeremy'd like to see him

82
00:04:09,879 --> 00:04:11,840
throw around that six to three body a little bit

83
00:04:11,919 --> 00:04:16,800
more pressure is closing down time and space is there. Defensively,

84
00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:19,839
McKinney should be strong, should be able to take touch

85
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,199
matchups in penalty kill time. So the best asset was

86
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,279
that Hockey Iq plays a mature pro style game. Should

87
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,360
be a candidate for one of the quickest guys from

88
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,639
his class to earn a call up. The biggest concern

89
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,800
offensive upside, and Jeremy does see more than a forty

90
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,879
point player here got the makings of a good career

91
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,959
NHL or, but probably not top six. So the top

92
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,199
tier was middle six complimentary score like a two C

93
00:04:44,399 --> 00:04:48,199
type role where he benefits from deployment with other Shark's

94
00:04:48,439 --> 00:04:51,560
top prospects, but the median outcome something more like a

95
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,439
bottom six matchup center. He's got so great a defensive

96
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,639
mindset and effort he could find a home in a

97
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,680
bottom especially if he can hone his face off and

98
00:05:02,959 --> 00:05:07,480
penalty kill skills. Stylistic comparable a less gifted Matty Beneers.

99
00:05:07,879 --> 00:05:11,120
So look how that transition went and lower your expectations.

100
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,519
In the Mason Black NHL ranking Pole, he goes up

101
00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:18,759
against Dimitri Buchelnikoff of the KHL right now and he's

102
00:05:18,759 --> 00:05:22,519
scoring just fine over in the K and bachell Nikoff

103
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:28,000
wins the pole seventy two to twenty eight. He is McKinney,

104
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,000
that is, is crounced in this matchup, and keeping in

105
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,199
mind that jell On Nakoff is about three years further

106
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,399
down three and a half years further down the funnel

107
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,439
than McKinney is San Jos. He's been really drafting well lately. Actually,

108
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,759
if you look at their second round picks even he's

109
00:05:44,759 --> 00:05:48,040
been very good. But I guess I'm wondering, Victor, is

110
00:05:48,079 --> 00:05:51,879
Cole McKinney better than Dmitri Bukeilnikoff and will he become

111
00:05:51,879 --> 00:05:52,879
a dynasty factor?

112
00:05:54,759 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 3: I think that for the NHL team that they played for.

113
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,680
I think the Sharks will be happier with McKinney as

114
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,639
a center. He still profiles at the center. He did

115
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,439
take a really nice step this year and looks great

116
00:06:08,439 --> 00:06:11,040
in Michigan. But like you said, everyone looks great right now,

117
00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:13,079
so it's hard to say. But he looks like he

118
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,160
could be a serviceable bottom six piece for the Sharks,

119
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,480
and those types of players centers who can move the

120
00:06:19,519 --> 00:06:23,040
puck and transition are pretty valuable. But I'm not sure

121
00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:25,560
that he's going to be a better fantasy asset. Looking

122
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,680
at the two, it's really impressive what Pukonnikov has done,

123
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,040
especially he's a bit undersized at five ten one seventy.

124
00:06:33,399 --> 00:06:35,839
He's now twenty two, and he's also he was extremely

125
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,000
young for that draft year when he was drafted in

126
00:06:39,079 --> 00:06:42,639
twenty twenty two, and ever since then, he basically went

127
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,839
right into the KHL or played mostly against men for

128
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,480
years after that and has been pretty stellar in the KHL.

129
00:06:48,519 --> 00:06:51,120
He's injured right now, so maybe that works in your

130
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,519
favor if you're trying to acquire him. But wingers often

131
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,439
it's easier for them to slide into the lineup than centers,

132
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,480
and so that might help him. But Detroit also has

133
00:06:59,519 --> 00:07:01,560
a lot of other guys. Both of these guys I

134
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,160
have rated in the six which means just above average,

135
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,279
with bi Kollikoff having a little bit of a higher

136
00:07:07,639 --> 00:07:10,040
percent of getting there six point four or five versus

137
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,560
six point two to one for McKinney and by. Kolakoff

138
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,600
has looked really good in a lot of transition data,

139
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:16,920
but some of his other underlying play driving metrics haven't

140
00:07:16,959 --> 00:07:19,079
been as good. For a smaller guy, you like to

141
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,920
see his compete, his puck battles won and loose puck recovery.

142
00:07:21,959 --> 00:07:24,560
That's all really good, but he doesn't really bash, so

143
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,199
you're not going to be getting a whole lot of that.

144
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,879
Not that McKinney does either, because he doesn't, but some

145
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,920
of his underlying play driving metrics have looked a.

146
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:31,639
Speaker 1: Little bit better.

147
00:07:32,079 --> 00:07:35,199
Speaker 3: So between the two, I think that Mukolikoff is probably

148
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,519
the better fantasy asset and McKinney's probably the better real

149
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,519
life asset. Look at the hockey prospecting between the two,

150
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,199
it's still be Kolnikoff who graduated the model I think

151
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,839
it was last year and just twelve percent chance of

152
00:07:46,879 --> 00:07:49,240
being a star, where it's six for McKinney. So you know,

153
00:07:49,279 --> 00:07:53,519
both of these guys are probably not like major factors

154
00:07:53,519 --> 00:07:56,560
in any deal. But if I had McKinny, I would

155
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,639
trade him for becol Lakoff straight up for a in

156
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,560
a fan league, as he has a little bit more

157
00:08:01,639 --> 00:08:02,240
upside I.

158
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,959
Speaker 2: Think tremendous next to Victor Jager Fergus I was wondering

159
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,160
when we get back to this guy, the red haired

160
00:08:09,279 --> 00:08:13,079
dynamo of the Seattle Kraken. He has effectively doubled his

161
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,639
scoring rate from year one to year two in the

162
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,639
AHL and at Press time, Fercus was leading the AHL

163
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,839
Coachella Valley Firebirds in scoring, and he's now listed at

164
00:08:23,839 --> 00:08:26,639
five eleven, which seems pretty significant for a guy who

165
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,040
I remembered we talked about this guy like I swear,

166
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,559
like twenty times in the twenty twenty two draft year

167
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,960
when he went, because he's a favorite late pick, and

168
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,039
then he's been a little bit under the radar. It

169
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:39,840
feels like to me, we haven't talked a ton about him,

170
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,039
but I remember at the time the size concerns were

171
00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:44,600
a big thing. Now in the episodes we talked about

172
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,480
he's still five to ten, So who knows if five

173
00:08:47,519 --> 00:08:50,080
to eleven is just the generous measurement that you give

174
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,919
a pro athlete. But he has really improved. He's really

175
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,399
picking it up, and that has been the question whether

176
00:08:57,519 --> 00:09:00,879
a slight fella is gonna be able to score at

177
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,559
the higher levels. It seems like he is. Austin Kelly

178
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,559
has this to say about Jagger Furcus of the Seattle Kraken,

179
00:09:08,919 --> 00:09:12,240
and that is skating. Fercus is a strong skater with

180
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:18,080
good mobility and quickness. He is not a high end skater,

181
00:09:18,159 --> 00:09:20,519
but moves well, especially while handling the puck that he

182
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,440
shows the most speed passing and handling, and pressed is

183
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,759
a highly effective playmaker. Does well generating offense, carrying the

184
00:09:26,759 --> 00:09:30,240
puck in transition, does well activating building on the offense,

185
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,000
and good puck accuracy. For shooting, He's got a lightning

186
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,159
quick point shot that can release from just about anywhere.

187
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,320
The speed of Fercus's shot looks to be one of

188
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,000
the fastest in the AHL based on how quickly he

189
00:09:42,039 --> 00:09:46,200
gets it off. Furcus also has an accurate slap shot

190
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,720
from distance and as a shooter does well anticipating where

191
00:09:49,879 --> 00:09:53,840
to be to score. Fairly smart player who reads plays well,

192
00:09:53,879 --> 00:09:56,320
and it's an area that could see him make the

193
00:09:56,399 --> 00:09:59,480
NHL despite not being the biggest guy. Also makes some

194
00:09:59,519 --> 00:10:03,320
good men awareness and good decisions with the puck. The

195
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,200
defense is a work in progress for Furcus, an undersized

196
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,120
winger lacks much of a physical edge while not having

197
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,559
much muscle to be able to throw his weight around.

198
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,960
Not the most mature defender yet may need to work

199
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,840
at least another year in the AHL to work on

200
00:10:15,879 --> 00:10:18,840
that side of his game. So the best asset was

201
00:10:18,919 --> 00:10:21,720
being a creative puck moving winner who does very well

202
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,679
at generating offense. As a finisher, consistently translated his ability

203
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,639
to be a point getter from the CHL to the AHL,

204
00:10:29,279 --> 00:10:33,519
and the biggest concern undersized mostly focused on the offensive side.

205
00:10:33,799 --> 00:10:36,159
That's going to be a question translating to a full

206
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,159
time NHL or concern of whether Focus is an NHL

207
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,679
or type prospect or a top end AHL guy. The

208
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,080
way Furcus play does not appear to be suitable for

209
00:10:45,159 --> 00:10:47,879
a fourth line role, so is a depth option. It's

210
00:10:47,919 --> 00:10:52,240
hard to see him succeed. A top tier outcome top

211
00:10:52,279 --> 00:10:56,279
six forward, power play two possible fifty to sixty point guy,

212
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,639
and the justification because he can play those time minutes.

213
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,600
His highly effective shot playmaking IQ have translated well to

214
00:11:04,639 --> 00:11:08,559
the pros and needs clear advanced creativity. The median outcome

215
00:11:08,639 --> 00:11:13,039
middle six twenty five to thirty five point winger. That's

216
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,480
because he could slide in as the third line winger.

217
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,360
It's become a bit more top nine or bust than

218
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,440
top six or AHL in the past. Clear offensive tools

219
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,480
to succeed, but it depends on how much he can

220
00:11:23,519 --> 00:11:27,120
add on the defensive end and work out clear comparison

221
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,840
with Braden point that you hear and not just because

222
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,440
they're both formerly of the Moose Jaw Warriors, but both

223
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,919
are creative, undersized forwards who can produce it as a

224
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,720
goal scorer or playmaker and have a strong hockey IQ.

225
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,919
He could potentially be a better value version of Points

226
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:48,799
Selwich if he can make the NHL on two and

227
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,559
he's up in the Mason Black NHL King Rank poll

228
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,639
against a Meal Hemy and a mel Heman. Mentioned again,

229
00:11:55,759 --> 00:11:58,600
Emil has been coming back this month after the World Juniors.

230
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,799
Feel like his might be up a little bit just

231
00:12:01,879 --> 00:12:05,799
from the attention that Finland got at World Junior's. It

232
00:12:05,919 --> 00:12:08,399
was finally backing up where he was taken in the

233
00:12:08,399 --> 00:12:11,919
first round in the NHL draft in twenty twenty four

234
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,759
and in rookie drafts. I know I took him. He's

235
00:12:14,799 --> 00:12:17,600
also a more recent pick than Fercus. Maybe people are

236
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,200
remembering Jagger's first or his slow first year in the

237
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,360
A oh, if I didn't mention, Fercus won this poll

238
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,879
fifty five to forty five percent. So Fircus comes out ahead,

239
00:12:27,879 --> 00:12:30,960
but maybe not as as ahead as I would have expected.

240
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,200
Is this the right call Fercus versus Hemming? Furcus over Heming?

241
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,039
And is this margin about what you expect? Victor?

242
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would take Fercus here, and yes, we had

243
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,279
talked about him seemingly a million times, so that seems accurate.

244
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,919
The interesting thing about him is that we always liked him,

245
00:12:49,919 --> 00:12:51,600
and yes he had the undersized thing, and he had

246
00:12:51,639 --> 00:12:54,279
a really good shot. The thing is he's really evolved

247
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,600
since just being a bit of a one trick pony.

248
00:12:56,799 --> 00:13:02,000
His creativity and playmaking has improved considerably, and after his

249
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,080
first AHL season last year, which was decent just a

250
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,759
little bit over a half point per game, so not

251
00:13:07,799 --> 00:13:11,360
a terrible transition, showed some promise This year. He's been

252
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,799
pretty much at a point per game for Coachella Valley.

253
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,360
Surprise actually that he hasn't gotten a call up for

254
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,720
Seattle with as good as he's been and how much

255
00:13:19,759 --> 00:13:22,879
they need a scorer and he can do that. So

256
00:13:23,639 --> 00:13:26,080
I think that he might get a shot pretty soon.

257
00:13:26,879 --> 00:13:29,440
And we always talk about the funnel, and he's really

258
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,519
close obviously being potentially called up in any moment. That's

259
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,200
something that you want to hear, especially if you're in

260
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,919
a competitive window. You want those guys on your team

261
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,159
that can just slide in right away if that fits

262
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,360
your window. I do think that Heming might have slightly

263
00:13:45,399 --> 00:13:48,200
more upside if he puts it all together. What we've

264
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,159
seen from him has been decent his OHL time.

265
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:53,399
Speaker 1: He's also on a.

266
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,159
Speaker 3: Stacked team, that Barry Colts team that looks they look

267
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,360
like a pretty good team, and he's been really good

268
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,759
so far there. So I like to see that. And

269
00:14:01,799 --> 00:14:04,639
he was fine at the World Juniors. He hasn't He's

270
00:14:04,639 --> 00:14:06,440
not the kind of guy that is taking over a

271
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,919
tournament or anything like that, and so that's a little

272
00:14:09,919 --> 00:14:14,960
bit important to know. But his shot is dangerous people respective.

273
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,200
I also saw a lot more playmaking from Hemming and

274
00:14:17,279 --> 00:14:20,679
a lot more control and nuanced to his play. But

275
00:14:20,759 --> 00:14:24,039
the thing is, like, both these guys are gonna the

276
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,720
coach is gonna want to see a little bit more

277
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,879
defensive effort in a little bit more two way play

278
00:14:27,919 --> 00:14:29,799
to give them the opportunity, and both of them kind

279
00:14:29,799 --> 00:14:32,200
of struggle with that. I think Fergus actually struggles more

280
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,919
than Heming does, and so that's something that he's really

281
00:14:34,919 --> 00:14:36,399
going to have to work even more on.

282
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,159
Speaker 1: But he has been.

283
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,399
Speaker 3: He actually Fergus has developed more of a peripheral coverage

284
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,279
in the AHL, which is really suring to see. His

285
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,720
blocks and hits have been substantially better. Than they were

286
00:14:46,759 --> 00:14:50,240
in junior. He's up to seventy six percent tile for

287
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,000
blocks and seventy second percentile for hits, which is pretty awesome.

288
00:14:54,279 --> 00:14:56,919
Heming is also a pretty good basher. I think these

289
00:14:56,919 --> 00:14:59,720
guys are pretty even, which makes sense the hockey prospecting

290
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,720
between the two, Furcus being a couple of years older.

291
00:15:04,759 --> 00:15:06,960
He graduated the model at five percent chance of being

292
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,279
a star, and Hemming is right there at four percent

293
00:15:09,399 --> 00:15:11,639
chance of being a star. So they're both lower end guys.

294
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,240
But I think Furcus is plus stock up because of

295
00:15:15,279 --> 00:15:18,360
his recent AHL play, and I think that matters just

296
00:15:18,399 --> 00:15:21,600
about more than anything in my book, especially when you're

297
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,919
still relatively young, and Fercus being still twenty one, he

298
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,559
won't her own twenty two until end of very end

299
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,399
of April, so I think this is a really good

300
00:15:30,399 --> 00:15:32,279
feather in his cap, and I would not be surprised

301
00:15:32,279 --> 00:15:34,279
if he made it onto the Kraken soon. It had

302
00:15:34,279 --> 00:15:37,480
a bit of an impact because that's exactly the kind

303
00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:38,720
of player that the kra can need.

304
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, I'm excited. If anything, it makes me

305
00:15:44,159 --> 00:15:47,600
feel like Emil Heming is pretty good. I didn't really

306
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,240
expect him to be in the neighborhood of what Furcus

307
00:15:50,279 --> 00:15:53,480
has become. There was a guy, Victor. This reminded me,

308
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,639
Furcus just keeps scoring and people don't necessarily want to

309
00:15:56,679 --> 00:16:00,720
respect that. It's it's chievable higher levels. You remember a

310
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,600
guy named Chris Carter in football, Victor, You ever heard

311
00:16:03,639 --> 00:16:07,799
of Chris Carter? Yeah, he was a Philadelphia Eagle back

312
00:16:07,799 --> 00:16:11,440
in the eighties and was excellent. He scored a lot

313
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,960
for them, and he got just summarily released one day

314
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,320
and the coach said all he does is score touchdowns,

315
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,120
and he said it dismissively. Well, you know what, guy,

316
00:16:21,519 --> 00:16:24,879
what is this? He just scores touchdowns? And then the

317
00:16:25,919 --> 00:16:28,320
Minnesota Vikings picked him up and he went onto a

318
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,559
Hall of Fame career, three times leading in the NFL

319
00:16:30,639 --> 00:16:33,480
in scoring touchdowns. Turns out that's a good thing. If

320
00:16:33,519 --> 00:16:36,679
all Fercus does is score, then that might not be

321
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,320
so bad, especially parts fantasy people. Anyway, I don't know

322
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,320
where I went, but that's where I went. William Harcoff,

323
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,759
That's where I'm going to go. William Horcoff. He's not

324
00:16:46,799 --> 00:16:49,279
only on that aforementioned an Arbert powerhouse. A lot of

325
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,360
Michigan talk today. By the way, He's also, unlike Kinney,

326
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,360
he's also among the leaders and teams scoring. Jayden parn

327
00:16:56,679 --> 00:16:59,440
Michael Hage are up with him. They all, by the way,

328
00:16:59,559 --> 00:17:04,319
trail an undrafted twenty four year old senior captain named t. J. Hughes.

329
00:17:04,799 --> 00:17:08,319
Did you know the leader undrafted twenty four year old TJ.

330
00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:12,000
Hughes is the leading scorer unless you wonder it's not

331
00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:16,440
another Hughes just because he's in Michigan. This guy's from Ontario,

332
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,599
I believe. But anyway, all right, I'm way off on

333
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,279
a limb here. William Horcoff University of Michigan. That's where

334
00:17:21,279 --> 00:17:24,119
we've been. He wrapped the US at the World Juniors

335
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,319
as well, and he was drafted last year in the

336
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,440
first round after Ben Kendall. Kyle Dubas shut the rest

337
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,000
of us up with Ben Kendall. So maybe we got

338
00:17:33,039 --> 00:17:36,119
to start respecting what Pittsburgh's doing. It's they're not like

339
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,400
the old Penguins in terms of their drafting, which of

340
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,759
course was caused by the fact that they drafted late

341
00:17:40,839 --> 00:17:43,160
a lot too. But Kauf was the second pick of

342
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,119
the first round this year and he's burning it up

343
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,480
at Michigan. Patrick has this to say, about William Horcoff

344
00:17:49,799 --> 00:17:53,599
of the Penns an average level of skating, neither special

345
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,720
nor a liability. This is an area he could afford

346
00:17:56,799 --> 00:17:59,960
to improve a little bit. Overall, the passing in hand

347
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:04,000
are okay, but not skills that really stand out. There

348
00:18:04,039 --> 00:18:07,039
are times when his passing shows touch, but other times

349
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,240
it is off the mark. Will's fast and accurate from

350
00:18:11,279 --> 00:18:13,640
mid range for shooting could pick corners when he has

351
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,519
a little time in close. He shows good hands and

352
00:18:16,599 --> 00:18:20,160
confined holes. IQ generally in motion to be in good

353
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,640
position for a pass or a shot, and at times

354
00:18:22,799 --> 00:18:25,400
is in the right place. At other times the play

355
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,960
goes by him. He does show poise in his play

356
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,240
with the engagement. Will is often in on the forour check. However,

357
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,839
in my viewings he had a low success rate in

358
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:39,000
by my I mean Patrick's in winning board battles. Horcoff

359
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,279
is committed to two hundred foot games, so he skates

360
00:18:42,319 --> 00:18:46,480
back hard commits to his defensive assignment. The biggest asset

361
00:18:46,519 --> 00:18:49,160
for Horcoff for the purposes of his likely future role

362
00:18:49,279 --> 00:18:52,759
is that physicality and compete. The biggest concern the pucking

363
00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:55,119
and lin of playmaking could use a lot of work.

364
00:18:56,119 --> 00:19:00,119
The top tier outcome possibly middle six with power or

365
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,200
play too type of situation. That's because he has a

366
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,920
decent game, and Patrick thinks he can improve in a

367
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,359
few areas. He could get some line two time and

368
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,680
be an asset on the power play. But the media

369
00:19:11,759 --> 00:19:15,799
outcomes probably bottom six. His game is sullid enough in

370
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,160
the aspects that are important for this role that there's

371
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,920
a lower level role at a high likelihood for Horcoff.

372
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,160
The stylistic comparison comparable. Let's go with Loss and Krause here.

373
00:19:26,519 --> 00:19:28,200
He could be a scorer that as bash or a

374
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,559
third liner that scores. But Patrick notes that even though

375
00:19:31,559 --> 00:19:33,880
the listed his center, he played a lot of wing

376
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,359
in the games that he watched. Long story short, We're

377
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,440
going to put him up in the NHL ranking poll

378
00:19:39,519 --> 00:19:43,960
against Lyndon Lakovich of the Washington Capitals, and Horkoff comes

379
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,000
out ahead in this pole fifty nine to forty one percent. Appropriately,

380
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,599
we've got Pittsburgh versus Washington because that's apparently what always

381
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,359
is going to happen, and in fact, they were drafted

382
00:19:54,519 --> 00:19:57,319
in the same round of the same draft. Lakovich went

383
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,440
three picks later than Horkoff did. Do you agree that

384
00:20:01,559 --> 00:20:05,519
Horcoff is, by a margin of eighteen percent, the better

385
00:20:05,559 --> 00:20:07,240
prospect of this duo.

386
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 3: I do not agree with this poll, and I understand why.

387
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:17,640
Horcoff has had an incredible NCAA season and certainly has

388
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,279
put some doubt into some of the naysayers.

389
00:20:20,319 --> 00:20:21,079
Speaker 1: I was certainly one.

390
00:20:21,039 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 3: Of those that and I'd said at the time I

391
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,640
didn't really think he was much more than a bottom sixer,

392
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,559
and he has been pretty awesome at Michigan. But as

393
00:20:29,559 --> 00:20:31,720
you said, the whole team is pretty awesome, and I

394
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,920
think you really have to consider that when you're looking

395
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,640
at some of these numbers, the team influence can be massive,

396
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,319
and you don't want to just go based on that.

397
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,279
I think if you switch positions between Horcoff and lack

398
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,400
Lackovich would be putting up even more points. Quite frankly,

399
00:20:47,799 --> 00:20:51,200
I think he has more offensive upside right now. The

400
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,359
team that he's on hasn't. I don't think that they're

401
00:20:55,400 --> 00:21:00,000
doing it. They're certainly not dumbing the league as miss

402
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:05,000
is in the NCAA right now. The Warriors are going

403
00:21:05,039 --> 00:21:07,039
through a bit of it right now. They were a

404
00:21:07,079 --> 00:21:10,519
really strong team and now a little bit less, and

405
00:21:10,599 --> 00:21:13,279
so I think that's something that you have to think

406
00:21:13,319 --> 00:21:17,480
about and keep in mind in the context of these

407
00:21:17,519 --> 00:21:21,359
two players. I have the Musjah Warriors here fourth in

408
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,480
the Eastern Conference East Division, whereas a couple of seasons

409
00:21:24,519 --> 00:21:28,000
ago they were they were thinking the Memorial Cup. I'm

410
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,680
trying to remember, they were one of the better teams

411
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,400
in the WHL, that's for sure. So definitely stocked down

412
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,079
for the whole team, which is affecting Lakovic, and so

413
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,759
you have to really consider that he has been He

414
00:21:39,799 --> 00:21:42,400
has more scoring upside, though, I think than Horkoff is

415
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,200
the bottom line. He's a very creative player. You look

416
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,400
at some of his underlying stats too. Even just looking

417
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,000
at that, a lot of it is way better than Horcoff's,

418
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,640
from his transition data to puck battles one and the passing,

419
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,440
the creativity, the shooting, all of it's better. The only

420
00:21:58,519 --> 00:22:01,440
thing that Horcoff really has as the bash is better.

421
00:22:01,519 --> 00:22:05,039
But they're pretty similar ninety fifth percentile to eighty ninth percentile,

422
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:06,920
so it's not like it's that much different. Both these

423
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,759
guys are going to give you a strong Perferle floor,

424
00:22:08,759 --> 00:22:12,519
which is great. It is probably true though, that Lakovich

425
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,400
is more likely to be a center, so that may

426
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,640
or may not hurt him. I could see both these

427
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,319
guys sliding into the wing, though I really don't think

428
00:22:19,319 --> 00:22:21,759
Horkoff is a center, which might help him play a

429
00:22:21,799 --> 00:22:24,680
little higher in the lineup when the time comes. So

430
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,279
they're similar. Lakovich has double the star potential and hockey

431
00:22:29,319 --> 00:22:32,319
prospecting that Horcoff does, and that's after a huge increase

432
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,039
for Horcoff from three to seven percent and Lakovich being

433
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,359
roughly stagnant around fifteen percent. Yeah, I definitely Lakovich better here,

434
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:41,799
and I think a lot of people are just looking

435
00:22:41,839 --> 00:22:45,559
at the high pnhale, which is based on his incredible

436
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,799
Michigan season. And the other thing to mention is that Horkoff.

437
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: We talked about it before.

438
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 3: But he's been He was one of the most disappointing

439
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,519
players on that team USA. They looked at him as

440
00:22:56,599 --> 00:22:59,519
someone who could help really carry this team. He was

441
00:22:59,559 --> 00:23:02,160
one of the top NCAA scorer. Then he just really

442
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,359
didn't do much in that whole tournament, and so that

443
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,079
was pretty disappointing to see that. But yeah, all in all,

444
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,680
for one, I trust Washington's drafting over Pittsburgh. They have

445
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,079
a much better track record over many years, and so

446
00:23:15,599 --> 00:23:18,160
that is a feather and Lackovich has happened. I think

447
00:23:18,279 --> 00:23:21,799
just the upside for each of these players. It's just

448
00:23:21,839 --> 00:23:22,759
better for Lackovich.

449
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,039
Speaker 2: Well, if you like Washington's drafting, that's going to be

450
00:23:25,039 --> 00:23:27,920
put to the test as well with this next one.

451
00:23:28,319 --> 00:23:31,920
Andrew Kristaal who we loved going in the second round

452
00:23:32,519 --> 00:23:36,279
last year, and of course Washington also got Cole Hudson

453
00:23:36,319 --> 00:23:39,839
in the second round of a recent draft. Christal, though

454
00:23:40,079 --> 00:23:44,000
destroyed the dub last year seventy two points in twenty

455
00:23:44,039 --> 00:23:46,279
nine games for the Spokane Chiefs. I guess that's why

456
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,839
you get drafted. And for the Hershey Bears. Not bad

457
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,079
for the young man. He's twenty one now, by the way,

458
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:56,319
but twenty five points in thirty games in the a

459
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,720
very good for somebody just debuting there. NHL Fantasy Hockey

460
00:24:01,799 --> 00:24:05,079
Life scout to Patrick is back to talk about Andrew Kristall.

461
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,079
The skating continues to improve for Christal. The form is

462
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,000
a lot better mechanically, with some signs of some old

463
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,480
skating quirks. He's still not on the fast He's still

464
00:24:14,519 --> 00:24:16,599
not the fastest, but is able to break out on

465
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,839
the odd two on one finds himself with less time

466
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,599
in the AHL, but it is still adapt with his

467
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:27,319
handling and makes very intelligent in on target passes. Christall's

468
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,119
shooting he's still got a quality one timer and risk shot,

469
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,400
but he's not having as much success against better goalies

470
00:24:32,559 --> 00:24:35,880
and will have to refine a shot further. Christal has

471
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,920
a high hockey IQ. However, it appears he's still adapting

472
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,039
to some of the aspects of the AHL. The pace

473
00:24:42,039 --> 00:24:44,559
of play gives him less time to process. For checking,

474
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,799
active in the offensive zone, trying to keep trying to

475
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,359
chase that puck, get poke checks, keep the puck cycling

476
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,599
around the defense. Back checking signifies a better commitment to defense.

477
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,279
He gets back, he covers his man, so the best

478
00:24:58,319 --> 00:25:02,839
asset that hockey IQ and the biggest concern. The overall

479
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,240
defensive game still needs some improvement. Even though he's showing

480
00:25:06,319 --> 00:25:09,640
a commitment top tier outcome. Patrick thinks it could be

481
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,319
as high as line one power play one. He's shown

482
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,680
a commitment to improving the rest of his game. The

483
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,000
skill set remains and is serving himsel War in the AHL.

484
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,400
He can be very valuable for Washington. The media outcome

485
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,160
here is something more like middle six around powerplay two,

486
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,200
improved skating and points in the AHL point toward him

487
00:25:29,279 --> 00:25:32,240
realistically being at least an NHL or in a lesser role,

488
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:36,920
even if his development stalls stylistic comparable. When Patrick scouted

489
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,599
Christal last time, he said Nick Gelers. This time he's

490
00:25:40,599 --> 00:25:43,559
going to go toward Jake Gnsel, and Kristall goes up

491
00:25:43,599 --> 00:25:48,599
against Alexander Darowski in this poll, who was also drafted.

492
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,160
I should say Kristall was drafted in twenty twenty three,

493
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,880
so he's had a couple of years to adjust here.

494
00:25:53,039 --> 00:25:57,200
But Jorovsky was drafted last year, also early second round,

495
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:02,440
and he wins this pole quite handily, seventy to thirty percent.

496
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,480
Djerrovsky over Kristal, and Drovsky's over tearing it up in

497
00:26:06,559 --> 00:26:08,599
the K which should probably even a little bit better

498
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,440
than the A. But I guess it surprises me. Maybe

499
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,559
we just haven't talked as much about Drovsky as I've

500
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,240
we talked about Kristal the year he was drafted, and

501
00:26:18,319 --> 00:26:20,079
he's a little bit out of sight, out of mind

502
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:24,200
for me over in Russia this year. Has Kristal slipped?

503
00:26:24,319 --> 00:26:27,319
Did the voter slipped or did Drovsky just slip by me,

504
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:28,640
Victor what's going on here?

505
00:26:28,839 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 3: All of those things might be able to be true.

506
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:35,559
Speaker 2: Actually, let's just stipulate that I've slipped and then everything

507
00:26:35,599 --> 00:26:36,680
else worked from there, all.

508
00:26:36,599 --> 00:26:39,799
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, yeah, that's a given, all right. Yeah. So

509
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,640
we have talked about Kristal for.

510
00:26:42,559 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 3: A while and one of the things that I've been

511
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,480
most interested in watching him is how is he going

512
00:26:46,559 --> 00:26:51,160
to adjust to the more competitive, bigger, faster, stronger hockey

513
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,319
in the AHL. And I think so far, so good.

514
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,039
He actually rely has done thirty two points. I think

515
00:26:56,039 --> 00:26:57,559
you got to give him earn his cap for that

516
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,640
because there were a lot of people I was definitely

517
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,000
one going to work out at least points wise are good.

518
00:27:04,079 --> 00:27:06,319
Some of his underlying numbers aren't so good. We have

519
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,359
incomplete data on his AHL times, so we see some

520
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,319
not of good numbers for net expected goals and fenwick,

521
00:27:13,799 --> 00:27:15,799
but don't really have a lot of the other transition

522
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:17,880
or puck battle data.

523
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 1: So hard to say exactly.

524
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 3: But he is creating a lot of offense, he's generating

525
00:27:23,519 --> 00:27:25,920
scoring chances, he's making a lot of good plays, and

526
00:27:26,039 --> 00:27:28,440
his bash has actually been decent too, which a little

527
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,119
bit of a worry with Cristal that he was going

528
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,920
to just be a very perferal light kind of guy,

529
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,200
but he's been pretty good. Zerowski though, on the other hand,

530
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,960
this guy has just been pretty incredible from the moment

531
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,559
he stepped onto the ice this season. There were definitely

532
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,559
I don't think anyone necessarily saw this coming. I think

533
00:27:47,599 --> 00:27:51,160
you saw some strong play in the NHL last year

534
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,480
and that's really all we had to go on, and

535
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,359
he was There were people thinking myself included that he

536
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,240
seemed like a pretty good later bet, but I don't

537
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,599
think anyone saw him being nearly a point per game

538
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,680
player in the KHL in his second draft plus one season,

539
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,799
So that is super impressive that he's doing it that young.

540
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,119
He's still eighteen and he's got thirty five points in

541
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:15,799
forty one games. And it's not just that, but you

542
00:28:15,799 --> 00:28:18,160
look at his underlying numbers, and his play driving numbers

543
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:23,440
are incredible, especially when he carries in or out. That's

544
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,880
been really good. His puck battles one has been great.

545
00:28:26,319 --> 00:28:28,880
He's got decent size at six', one a little light

546
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,279
at one sixty, three but he's very competitive on and

547
00:28:32,279 --> 00:28:35,400
off the. Puck his play driving is insane at eighty six,

548
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,319
percent his net expected goals is super. High everything is

549
00:28:39,319 --> 00:28:41,960
looking really great under the hood For, zarovski and that

550
00:28:42,079 --> 00:28:44,720
makes you think that he can not only, continue but

551
00:28:44,839 --> 00:28:48,240
maybe even push to be to do, more because, again

552
00:28:48,319 --> 00:28:52,119
eighteen years old in THE. Khl So i'm gonna Say,

553
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,599
zorovski BUT i don't want it to sound Like i'm

554
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,759
unimpressed with What christal has, done BECAUSE i still.

555
00:28:57,759 --> 00:28:59,279
Speaker 1: THINK i think he's proved a lot this.

556
00:28:59,359 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 3: YEAR i think it's been a really big year for,

557
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,680
him AND i think the fact that he's showing that,

558
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,599
NO i can hang with these good, players and he

559
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,079
was also pretty impressive at camp at The capitol's, CAMP

560
00:29:09,119 --> 00:29:10,720
i think there was a chance he was close to

561
00:29:10,759 --> 00:29:12,640
making it. There but the team is just so good

562
00:29:12,759 --> 00:29:14,119
THAT i guess they haven't been as good.

563
00:29:14,039 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: As they were last.

564
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,799
Speaker 3: Year but the team's pretty, competitive so it's hard for

565
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:18,359
him to make it on the. Team but, Yeah i'm

566
00:29:18,359 --> 00:29:20,319
going to Take, zorowski BUT i would actually like to

567
00:29:20,359 --> 00:29:22,680
have either of these. Guys and it might be one

568
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,359
of those things too that if you're closer to being

569
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,799
if you're a competitive, team you might actually Want christaal

570
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,799
because he is going to BE nhl, ready or at

571
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,960
least get called up a little bit sooner Than, zarovski

572
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,559
and so that that's often an important factor in these.

573
00:29:37,599 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: Things so he's.

574
00:29:38,799 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 3: Under contract in THE khl until twenty twenty, seven so

575
00:29:43,119 --> 00:29:45,880
he can't start until the twenty seven to twenty eight,

576
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,000
season so that might be a. Factor If zarowski fits

577
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,799
your competitive, window then CERTAINLY i would prefer, him but

578
00:29:53,119 --> 00:29:56,240
that's several seasons from, now so you might, actually if

579
00:29:56,279 --> 00:29:58,680
you're more, competitive you might trade him For, krystal which

580
00:29:58,680 --> 00:29:59,920
wouldn't be Too.

581
00:30:00,279 --> 00:30:04,839
Speaker 2: Yeah of, course he'll only when you're talking about he

582
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,279
could come out at twenty twenty, seven he'll be twenty

583
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,680
at that, time he's still that's going to be aggressive

584
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,319
to push him up to THE. Nhl but, yeah if

585
00:30:14,319 --> 00:30:18,000
he continues to escalate at that, pace he is already

586
00:30:18,039 --> 00:30:20,720
looking pretty darn. Good and some of these comps are, Amazing.

587
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,480
Victor let's go to the. Next Justin carboneau of The

588
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,559
Saint Louis. Blues this Was Saint louis's one bite at

589
00:30:27,599 --> 00:30:29,759
The apple last. Year in the first four. Rounds he

590
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,440
was taken it nineteen in the first, round and Then

591
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,960
Saint louis they traded away everything after. That doesn't have

592
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,519
video game numbers in the queue like he did last,

593
00:30:38,559 --> 00:30:41,960
year and we expect that in THE. Qum here's the

594
00:30:42,039 --> 00:30:44,880
level of EXPECTATION i put on the. Queue this guy's

595
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,680
got forty five points and thirty one, games and SOMEHOW

596
00:30:47,759 --> 00:30:50,359
i don't feel like that's enough for a guy who's

597
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,039
blown through THE. Qmghl MAYBE i just need to settle.

598
00:30:53,079 --> 00:30:56,359
Down doesn't quite fit the stereotype of A blues. Draftee

599
00:30:56,359 --> 00:30:57,880
you can correct me If i'm wrong, There but in

600
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,960
terms of, physicality that's not like The lee thing with.

601
00:31:01,039 --> 00:31:03,200
Him it's he's plenty to. Of he should be a

602
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,240
contributor to the next really good Playoff blues, team but

603
00:31:07,319 --> 00:31:08,599
he's more scoring.

604
00:31:08,319 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: Playmaker type of.

605
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 2: Guy Mike, MEYER fhl scout says this about justin Carbon

606
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,480
oonne's scouting. Report in the part That mike watched to

607
00:31:17,599 --> 00:31:20,240
the Games mike, watch he showed functional pace but limited,

608
00:31:20,279 --> 00:31:25,039
separation low inner slot. Access he remained involved throughout the

609
00:31:25,039 --> 00:31:27,640
workload with a lot of touches per game and a

610
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,119
lot OF tom and, ice but lacked the burst consistently

611
00:31:30,279 --> 00:31:35,039
beat defenders. Passing his touches were high but his ability

612
00:31:35,119 --> 00:31:37,960
to convert them into dangerous plays dipped a little. Bit

613
00:31:38,279 --> 00:31:41,640
handlin was clean but, conservative with fewer slat feeds and

614
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,920
more perimeter touches than. Usual for, shooting the shot volume

615
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,680
remained strong seven shots a, game but high danger chances.

616
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:53,200
Creator he was active but perimeter, heavy generating a little meaningful,

617
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,839
threat and THE iq anticipation was evident in the first two,

618
00:31:56,839 --> 00:31:59,960
games but his offensive reads were more cautious than, usual

619
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,279
well forced fewer plays, inside lost seven pucks a, game

620
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:09,000
rarely cut into the slot for. Checking remained active with

621
00:32:09,279 --> 00:32:12,640
twelve puck battles per, game but his win rate dropped

622
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,279
to thirty five, percent well below his season forty five

623
00:32:15,319 --> 00:32:19,279
percent in the games That mike was. Watching defensive, habits

624
00:32:19,319 --> 00:32:23,720
though held up well lots of, takeaways block, shots no panic,

625
00:32:23,759 --> 00:32:28,200
penalties lines very well with his positive defensive metrics for the.

626
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:33,319
Season The HOCKEY, iq, then or the best, asset was

627
00:32:33,359 --> 00:32:36,279
still his involvement with the touches per game and the

628
00:32:36,319 --> 00:32:40,079
consistent defensive engagement even when the offense wasn't so, great

629
00:32:40,519 --> 00:32:43,799
and the biggest concern inability to get inside generate meaningful

630
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,799
danger when he's not. Assertive his game becomes really perimeter.

631
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,160
Heavy top tier outcome here That mike Sees Justin carboneau

632
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:55,319
having is a LEGITIMATE Nhl top six complementary. Winger that's

633
00:32:55,319 --> 00:32:58,960
because he maintains high involvement every, night produces offense through

634
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,680
timing and volume red than. Streakiness this aligns WITH Nhl

635
00:33:02,759 --> 00:33:07,519
top six complimentary wingers who elevate play through, pace, retrievals and.

636
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:12,160
Reliability the median, outcome let's call it AN nhl middle six.

637
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,400
Winger that's because he's got strong, involvement but he lacks

638
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,400
a singular dynamic tool and the shot is effective but

639
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,079
not overpowering handling his clean but not, creative but his,

640
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,039
motor his, reads and his defensive habits make him a

641
00:33:26,039 --> 00:33:30,599
SAFE nhl floor the stylistic. Comparable mike will Say Alex

642
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:36,039
killorn Or Tyler, bertuzzi and he, Yeah so those are

643
00:33:36,039 --> 00:33:39,519
two guys That mike thinks this Su Justin carbonet could.

644
00:33:39,559 --> 00:33:42,839
Resemble he goes up in THE nhl ranking poll Against Carter,

645
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,839
bear who is drafted six picks in front of him

646
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:51,759
by The Detroit Red. Wings Carter bear loses this. Matchup

647
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,680
Justin carboneau comes out of head sixty two to thirty eight.

648
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,839
Percent carboos Pass bear in this comp which isn't surprising

649
00:33:58,839 --> 00:34:02,200
because Whenever Steve eiserman takes a non defenseman in the first,

650
00:34:02,319 --> 00:34:05,000
round it turns out to be a pretty slow. Burn

651
00:34:04,599 --> 00:34:08,320
in The detroit years, anyway there's but a lot of.

652
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,920
Them some of them, anyway have turned out to do.

653
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:15,039
Something but, Anyway Justin carboneau drafted. Later but is it

654
00:34:15,199 --> 00:34:19,159
Correct victor that sixty two to thirty eight percent is

655
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:20,679
the right margin for him to win this?

656
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 1: THING i think he has more.

657
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,039
Speaker 3: Upside he was definitely the player as the draft was

658
00:34:26,079 --> 00:34:28,039
going on THAT i was just banging the table, Saying

659
00:34:28,119 --> 00:34:30,320
who's going to Take Justin? Carboneau BECAUSE i think he

660
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,880
was a fringe top ten. Asset certainly in fantasy ranked much.

661
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,280
Higher but in real, life wingers who are speedy and

662
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:40,159
score and don't do anything but, score As jesse pointed

663
00:34:40,159 --> 00:34:43,440
out Future hall Of, famer perhaps that is something that

664
00:34:43,519 --> 00:34:47,639
coaches often struggle with and organizations because those are the

665
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,519
easiest thing to. Find skilled wingers who are maybe a

666
00:34:50,519 --> 00:34:55,400
little undersized and aren't super. Tough so that's. Understandable i'm

667
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,519
actually writing About bear for the McKeen stockwatch and so

668
00:34:58,599 --> 00:35:00,519
that may he may come up on a future. Episode

669
00:35:00,559 --> 00:35:03,559
but he's actually someone THAT i would consider buying on

670
00:35:04,039 --> 00:35:08,400
just in general because he had that injury last season

671
00:35:08,559 --> 00:35:13,119
and that really affected him and he has just gotten back,

672
00:35:13,159 --> 00:35:16,880
to WHAT i would, say playing like, himself and he

673
00:35:17,039 --> 00:35:20,199
is a very, strong competitive type of. Player AND i

674
00:35:20,199 --> 00:35:23,519
believe it was an achilles. Injury, yeah he tore his

675
00:35:23,559 --> 00:35:26,119
right achilles back In march due To Escape.

676
00:35:26,159 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 1: Blade scary.

677
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 3: Injury those soft tissue, injuries especially with a with such

678
00:35:31,039 --> 00:35:34,039
an important tendon like an, achilles takes a really long.

679
00:35:34,079 --> 00:35:36,320
Time and even when you're, back you're not really fully.

680
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,480
Back you don't feel like. Yourself and SO i think

681
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,960
one thing to say is That Carter beear may be

682
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,559
someone that you are interested in acquiring because he maybe

683
00:35:46,559 --> 00:35:49,760
hasn't lived up to his full potential. Yet and he

684
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,159
does bash a, lot and so that's something that you're

685
00:35:52,199 --> 00:35:54,719
gonna love is the bash is huge and lots of,

686
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,760
hits lots of, shots maybe not as many. Blocks but

687
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,559
what's interesting about this is that the bash Between carboneau

688
00:36:00,639 --> 00:36:03,320
And bear at least and these micro stats on The

689
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,039
Fantasy Hockey Life skater card are pretty similar and that's

690
00:36:06,119 --> 00:36:10,000
Because carboneaux shoots a ton and he also blocks a fair,

691
00:36:10,039 --> 00:36:13,039
amount which is surprising for a skilled forward as he,

692
00:36:13,159 --> 00:36:17,119
is and so he ends up being similar To Carter.

693
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,000
Bear Although bear will certainly have more, Hits carboneau is

694
00:36:21,039 --> 00:36:23,440
not really a. Hitter you pointed to the maybe not

695
00:36:23,519 --> 00:36:26,079
being the most, physical AND i think that's. ACCURATE i

696
00:36:26,079 --> 00:36:28,679
think The blues had one first round, pick and of

697
00:36:28,679 --> 00:36:32,079
all the teams that had one pick after, ten twelve

698
00:36:32,159 --> 00:36:34,280
or fifteen something like, that they were the ones who

699
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:35,639
hit it out of the park the. Most SO i

700
00:36:35,639 --> 00:36:39,199
definitely Like. Carboneau the hockey prospecting is actually similar between the.

701
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,320
TWO i think part of that is the que gets

702
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:45,320
a little lowered because of the video game numbers that

703
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,199
can go up. There But he's at fourteen percent And

704
00:36:47,199 --> 00:36:49,760
Carter bear's at twenty one, percent So bear is still

705
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,400
a little bit higher out of the. DUB i would

706
00:36:52,519 --> 00:36:55,119
like prefer CAR i would Prefer carboneau. HERE i have

707
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:56,880
met a seven point four to. FOUR i Have carter

708
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,840
bar at a six point seven, Seven SO i just

709
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,400
think the upside is higher For. CARBONEAU i think that

710
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,719
he has a pretty good chance of hitting. It you're

711
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,920
right that the numbers have been a little bit less

712
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,159
impressive this. YEAR i think that part of that is team,

713
00:37:08,159 --> 00:37:11,000
effect AND i think he's also it seems like he

714
00:37:11,079 --> 00:37:13,679
got the message From Saint louis that they want him

715
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,239
to round out the rest of the. Game, yeah we

716
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,480
know you can, score what else can you. Do let's

717
00:37:17,519 --> 00:37:19,440
look at the rest of your game and your off

718
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,840
put game and your defensive habits and all, that and

719
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:23,760
that has been. BETTER i think that will still never

720
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:28,920
be his strong, suit but that will be interesting to.

721
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,599
Follow so, YEAH i definitely agree here That carboneau is

722
00:37:32,599 --> 00:37:34,199
the one that you. Want but put a plug in

723
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,519
For bear and maybe check in on there whoever manages,

724
00:37:37,559 --> 00:37:39,760
them because he might be someone that you can get

725
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,519
for a discount based on his performance so far this.

726
00:37:42,599 --> 00:37:47,599
Speaker 2: YEAR i like a, Discount. VICTOR i like a. Discount,

727
00:37:48,039 --> 00:37:51,079

00:37:51,079 --> 00:37:52,639
Players we're going to take a break and come back

729
00:37:52,679 --> 00:37:53,559

00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,679
Speaker 2: Victor we're. Back but before we get on to the next,

740
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,920
segment perhaps we had to mention to people cool things

741
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,400
that we have in store for them if they decided

742
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:34,800
to join the.

743
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:39,519
Speaker 3: Patreon, yeah great opportunity to join the patreon to get

744
00:38:39,519 --> 00:38:43,679
a bunch of bonus. Content we a little bit later

745
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,559
getting to the update than, usual BUT i did update

746
00:38:46,599 --> 00:38:49,079
all my ranks after The World juniors and we should

747
00:38:49,159 --> 00:38:52,320
be having a big website update coming hopefully by the

748
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,360
time you read. THIS i know that we talked about

749
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,360
by The olympics at the very, latest which we're pretty

750
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:57,719
close To.

751
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:58,519
Speaker 1: Jesse it's.

752
00:38:58,559 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 3: Happening olympics are, coming so that's something to look. At

753
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,760
updated skater, cards, ranks, tiers all.

754
00:39:05,639 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 1: The team by.

755
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 3: TEAM i went team by team and updated all the

756
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,079
players within a team. Roster it's something THAT i try

757
00:39:12,079 --> 00:39:15,440
not to make too many in season changes because sometimes

758
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,559
the production can be, fleeting but sometimes players really change

759
00:39:19,039 --> 00:39:23,639
their whole trajectory based on one. Season that is something

760
00:39:23,679 --> 00:39:26,079
to think, about and this is the time you want

761
00:39:26,119 --> 00:39:28,159
to make. Decisions you're coming up to trade deadline and

762
00:39:28,199 --> 00:39:30,840

Speaker 2: Life next on our show right, Now, Victor i'm going

770
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,119
to do a little THING i call persons of. Interest,

771
00:39:50,599 --> 00:39:52,800
victor these are persons of interest here at the trade.

772
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,679
DEADLINE I am going to talk about a couple of

773
00:39:55,679 --> 00:39:59,039
players WHO i guess they're on my, mind either because

774
00:39:59,079 --> 00:40:02,119
they've been involved IN aid talks That i've been involved,

775
00:40:02,119 --> 00:40:04,800
with Or i'm just observing what's going on some of these.

776
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,960
Guys people will see, people how people react to. THIS

777
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,280
i just wanted to talk about some guys who maybe

778
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:18,000
are good, bye maybe good. Sell but, anyway the first

779
00:40:18,119 --> 00:40:20,840
of these, Players Dougie. Hamilton it's time to just have

780
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,599
a little talk About Douggie. Hamilton he's been on my.

781
00:40:23,639 --> 00:40:25,440
MIND i traded him away in a league last. Week

782
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,920
there'll be an upcoming episode Of tidy takes where you

783
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,360
might hear a little bit more on. That you AND, I,

784
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,599
victor we Love. Dougie we've always Loved dougie because he just.

785
00:40:33,679 --> 00:40:38,039
Produces he doesn't necessarily even need the, minutes and he's

786
00:40:38,119 --> 00:40:41,559
just been productive for years and. Years his power play

787
00:40:41,559 --> 00:40:43,960
tom On ice is way down this year right because

788
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,360
Of Luke. Hughes he's on the worst scoring pace of

789
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,840
his career nineteen points in forty seven games right. Now

790
00:40:51,559 --> 00:40:55,119
but the guy who traded For dougie for me pointed

791
00:40:55,119 --> 00:40:58,159
out a couple of very interesting. Things one is It

792
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,360
i'll tell you the one that he pointed, out and

793
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,239
then there's a couple THAT i noticed that the one

794
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,960
he pointed. Out eleven of those nineteen points have come

795
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:08,639
in his last nine. Games he's on a consecutive nine

796
00:41:08,639 --> 00:41:12,440
game scoring streak right. Now so it looks Like january

797
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,840
has been much kinder to him than the first part

798
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,519
of the year. Did he's not missing games, People Dougie.

799
00:41:18,519 --> 00:41:21,119
Hamilton that's usually the rap on him is that he

800
00:41:21,199 --> 00:41:22,960
misses a big section of the. SEASON i want to

801
00:41:23,039 --> 00:41:26,280
jinx it because not like the season's over, here but

802
00:41:26,519 --> 00:41:29,159
he's missed at least eighteen games in five of the

803
00:41:29,199 --> 00:41:32,599
last seven. Seasons he's only missed five games this, year

804
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:36,000
so we could get a relatively Full dougy, season which

805
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:40,639
usually means good. Things he gets just enough bash to

806
00:41:40,679 --> 00:41:44,280
compliment that scoring in the last thirty. Days as it

807
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,400
was pointed out to, me he's a top ten defenseman in,

808
00:41:46,519 --> 00:41:50,480
tidy which given the overall arc Of Dougie hamilton's season

809
00:41:50,519 --> 00:41:53,679
and frankly the overall arc Of New jersey, season that

810
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,119
surprised me to. SEE i guess a nine game scoring streak.

811
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:57,519
Speaker 1: Will do that for.

812
00:41:57,559 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 2: You and there's also just the buzz in the background

813
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,719
that With New jersey kind of in trouble right, now

814
00:42:05,199 --> 00:42:09,079
he could get. Traded. Obviously Luke, hughes AS i mentioned,

815
00:42:09,119 --> 00:42:12,159
before is a big part of. This Luke hughes getting

816
00:42:12,199 --> 00:42:13,800
the power Play tom AND i was being a future

817
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,320
as long as he doesn't get booed by The jersey,

818
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:20,800
fans is probably Making dougie a little more. Redundant Because

819
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,000
dougie's in there to provide the powerplay support and some

820
00:42:24,039 --> 00:42:27,880
of those. Things one would imagine that if it was worked,

821
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:29,920
out AND i Think, HAMILTON i think he's got a

822
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,519
no trade. Clause i'm not entirely, Sure but, anyway it

823
00:42:32,559 --> 00:42:35,039
would be difficult to get him, traded given the, contract

824
00:42:35,119 --> 00:42:38,280
given the, age given the somewhat lack of production this.

825
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,000
Year but if he did get traded somewhere where he

826
00:42:41,079 --> 00:42:43,639
got that big power play roll, BACK i have to

827
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,480
think that a Healthy Dougie hamilton would be even more

828
00:42:46,519 --> 00:42:50,039
productive than he is right. Now SO i think That

829
00:42:50,159 --> 00:42:55,239
hamilton is a sneaky buye for some. People and YET

830
00:42:55,679 --> 00:42:59,840
i don't feel bad about trading him because the decline

831
00:43:00,039 --> 00:43:02,679
could be, real and given the, AGE i was in

832
00:43:02,679 --> 00:43:06,480
a rebuilding situation. Anyway so what do you, Think, victor

833
00:43:06,559 --> 00:43:08,519
what's S Douggie? Hamilton is he a person of interest

834
00:43:08,559 --> 00:43:10,760
to you in one way or another right? Now and

835
00:43:11,039 --> 00:43:11,639
what do you think about?

836
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:14,280
Speaker 1: Him you're right that we've always Loved.

837
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 3: DOUGIE i love defenseman like him who don't need the

838
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,400
power play to be. Productive AND i think that's a

839
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:25,000
good point, here because he doesn't necessarily need. That so

840
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,800
if he goes somewhere, else if he gets, traded you

841
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,480
want to make sure that all his production isn't gonna dry.

842
00:43:30,599 --> 00:43:31,960
Up if he goes to a team where someone else

843
00:43:32,119 --> 00:43:34,159
is running the power play and he's not gonna get

844
00:43:34,159 --> 00:43:36,360
any sniff of. It and that's the thing is that

845
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:40,079
it doesn't matter With, dougie like he's gonna get his

846
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:44,360
production regardless of whether he's on the power. Play so

847
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,360
far this season he has ten power play. Points he

848
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,800
had seasons where he was in double digits. Consistently he

849
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,159
had a twenty eight power play points season that was

850
00:43:52,199 --> 00:43:54,239
by far as. HIGH i think he's been in a

851
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,280
bit of a lull the last few, seasons especially With

852
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:57,880
luke ques getting more and more of a role in.

853
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:03,280
Tumonemach but it's not necessary for. Him he's a really

854
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,719
good even strength, producer and looking at some of his

855
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,760
underlying numbers is pretty. INTERESTING i know he was aligned

856
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:12,519
for a while, there but he is the number one

857
00:44:12,639 --> 00:44:15,159
defenseman On New jersey right now in terms of expected goal,

858
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,800
differential which some people might not. Realize Brendon dillon also really.

859
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:23,039
Good Luke hughes actually is the, worst and so that's

860
00:44:23,039 --> 00:44:25,840
a whole other conversation what they're gonna do with. Him

861
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,360
it seems if they really want to be competitive and

862
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:29,880
if they think they're going to make the, playoffs it

863
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,840
seems like they should Keep, dougie and especially With hughes's

864
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,320
injury right, now BUT i don't know what's going to happen.

865
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,800
There BUT i agree with YOU i Have he's definitely

866
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,199
an interest to me BECAUSE i have him in a few,

867
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,599
leagues and the league are common league Where i'm in

868
00:44:43,599 --> 00:44:46,519
the playoffs right. Now he picked up perfect time to

869
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:50,039
start to be relevant and good again BECAUSE i definitely

870
00:44:50,039 --> 00:44:53,360
need him there even Though i'm the number two. Seed

871
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:54,960
you never really know what's going to happen in the,

872
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:56,840
playoffs SO i need him to do, that AND i

873
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,400
feel confident AND i WOULD i personally would not want

874
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,719
to trade. HIM i THINK i would rather acquire, him

875
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,559
OR i would rather keep him if you're in a competitive,

876
00:45:03,559 --> 00:45:07,480
window just because his underlying, numbers AS i, said look.

877
00:45:07,519 --> 00:45:10,079
Good his defensive metrics have been better Than i've ever

878
00:45:10,079 --> 00:45:13,079
seen in his whole. Career this, year his offensive metrics

879
00:45:13,159 --> 00:45:15,960
have been well above, average but getting a bit.

880
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:17,280
Speaker 1: Unlucky in terms of.

881
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,559
Speaker 3: THAT i think the whole team has been a little

882
00:45:19,599 --> 00:45:22,239
maligned except for the more recent streak as you. Mentioned so,

883
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,760
Yeah i'm definitely interested In dougie AND i love the

884
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,000
play driving and like you mentioned In, tidy he's been

885
00:45:28,039 --> 00:45:31,480
one of the best. Defensemen SO i think he probably

886
00:45:31,519 --> 00:45:36,000
gets a little even or maybe slightly stocked down if

887
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,800
he goes to a more competitive. Team BUT i think

888
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,760
it's a good idea to acquire. Him it's, not AS

889
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:43,760
i mentioned other, defensemen where you go to a new

890
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:45,760
team and then all of a sudden you get more

891
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:47,400
of a depth role than you don't get to run

892
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,679
the power, play and your whole production goes. DOWN i

893
00:45:49,679 --> 00:45:51,440
think that's not going to be as likely For.

894
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: Hamilton, yes, sir, yes.

895
00:45:53,519 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 2: Sir the next, fella and this is a little bit

896
00:45:57,920 --> 00:45:59,400
out of character for the other. One some of these

897
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:05,400
other guys are having potentially sneaky good. Seasons this guy

898
00:46:05,519 --> 00:46:09,039
is having an unsneaky bad, season and so he's a

899
00:46:09,079 --> 00:46:14,079
bit more of a by low. Potentially Kent johnson HOPING

900
00:46:14,159 --> 00:46:17,280
i can transact a trade Involving Kent johnson before this,

901
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,199
airs because then the it'll ruin. It IF i, don't

902
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,000
the price will go up ten. Times i've been looking

903
00:46:23,119 --> 00:46:25,639
At kent all, year mostly because his coach wasn't or

904
00:46:25,639 --> 00:46:29,480
at least not. Favorably Dean evanson was down to playing

905
00:46:29,519 --> 00:46:33,039
him under ten minutes a game on. Occasion Rick bonas

906
00:46:33,079 --> 00:46:36,519
of course come Into, columbus and he's been a bit more.

907
00:46:36,519 --> 00:46:38,679
Forgiving he's tried to Use Kent johnson a bit. More

908
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,960
johnson is not heated up yet by any, means But

909
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,239
i'm a little bit more optimistic he. Can he's just

910
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,519
not scoring this. Year he's back closer to the power

911
00:46:47,519 --> 00:46:49,400
play tom On ice he had early in the, year

912
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,199
which is a good. Sign give him the opportunity to

913
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,440
play with some of those bigger players In, columbus and

914
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,280
Obviously columbus is in a rebuilding, mode so they should

915
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,000
give him another. Chance they should keep trying to make

916
00:47:01,039 --> 00:47:05,760
their young guys. Work this is whether it's For columbus

917
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:09,679
or even for whether it's your fantasy Team columbus or

918
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,119
somebody That columbus trades him. To this is a second

919
00:47:12,199 --> 00:47:15,519
draft bi low type. GUY i feel like his weak

920
00:47:15,599 --> 00:47:18,320
tidy points are not going to help a winning team this. Year,

921
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,079
yeah he's got like two points something points in, tidy

922
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,639
and anybody who's playing tidy knows you better at least

923
00:47:24,679 --> 00:47:26,800
see a four at the beginning of that number if

924
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,920
he's going to be a regular. Contributor otherwise he's riding

925
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,840
down there and you're holding on to him against the

926
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:38,199
competitive aspirations of your. TEAM i dare say you could

927
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,760
get one hundred and fifty percent of his scoring just

928
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,199
from the waiver wire. Alone if you can get him

929
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,679
from a team that's really trying to compete now and

930
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:49,119
give him somebody who's a little bit, older who's producing,

931
00:47:49,199 --> 00:47:52,519
Now Kent johnson's value may be suppressed enough by his

932
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:56,639
just garbage season that you could pull it. OFF i don't, Know,

933
00:47:56,719 --> 00:48:00,360
victor is your interest In Kent johnson flagging That Michigan

934
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:04,119
wolverine who's Somehow maybe he's just depressed having to be

935
00:48:04,159 --> 00:48:06,800
In ohio state territory as A Michigan wolverine and it'll

936
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:08,960
never he'll never get over. It but what are you

937
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:10,280
thinking About Kent johnson these?

938
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 3: DAYS i must SAY i don't really think About Ken

939
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,880
johnson very. Much he hasn't really warranted me thinking about.

940
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:19,840
Him he did have that strong season last, year AND

941
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:23,440
i did write about him previously talking about how he

942
00:48:23,519 --> 00:48:25,800
had so much, skill and he's definitely this kind of

943
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:29,679
guy who you want to have interest in because he

944
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:33,079
certainly has the potential to be a near point per game.

945
00:48:33,079 --> 00:48:36,719
Player sixty nine point pace last season was pretty. GREAT

946
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,199
i think a lot of people were hoping he could replicate.

947
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:44,000
That there were definitely some high percentages there that we

948
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,800
weren't sure we're going to necessarily, continue but there was

949
00:48:48,559 --> 00:48:53,119
some like the high secondary as sistraate that. Season on

950
00:48:53,159 --> 00:48:55,719
the other, hand right, now you just have to look

951
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:57,840
at what he's doing right, now and he Has he's

952
00:48:58,119 --> 00:49:00,280
eighth percentile for offense.

953
00:49:01,599 --> 00:49:03,280
Speaker 1: In the ENTIRE. Nhl that's.

954
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:08,360
Speaker 3: Awful, defensively he's actually been better closer to, average which

955
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:11,320
he wasn't so good defensively. Before but just looking at

956
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:16,440
his expected GOALS p sixty In columbus right, now he

957
00:49:16,559 --> 00:49:19,800
is literally the. Worst the guys that he's worse Than Isaac,

958
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:25,320
Lunderstrom Brendan, Gone, Sack Aston, Reese Danton. Heinen come, on

959
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,280
these names are not guys you should be associated. With

960
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:32,679
do you think you're a? Scorer SO i still think

961
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:36,000
That Ken johnson has. Talent, certainly that's not like it.

962
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,159
Evaporates it might just be a confidence saying maybe he

963
00:49:38,199 --> 00:49:40,840
needs to be coached. DIFFERENTLY i don't. Know he's at

964
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,239
two hundred and forty EIGHT nhl games. Played he should

965
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:46,880
be what he is right. NOW i think that IF

966
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:50,400
i were a rebuilding team AND i wanted to take

967
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:54,320
a chance on rostering him while he figures it out

968
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:55,840
over the next year and a. Half THAT i think

969
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,360
THAT i would be okay with, that BUT i wouldn't

970
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:02,119
be selling off a premium asset to get. Him So

971
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,880
i'm pretty low On Ken. JOHNSON i think THAT i

972
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:08,440
wouldn't be surprised if he got back to a sixty

973
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:11,440
five ish point pace in the, future But i'm not

974
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:14,880
willing to throw down a huge asset to get, him

975
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:15,519
if that makes.

976
00:50:15,559 --> 00:50:21,320
Speaker 2: Sense, yeah, okay that's so much for that next, Guy.

977
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,440
Victor AND i don't know if some of you are

978
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:27,800
just listening to redraft podcasts a lot in addition to

979
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,840
this to compliment and. Offset so some of these guys

980
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:34,320
who are really, hot just other people may be paying

981
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,320
attention to. Me i'm playing the dynasty. Game i'm not

982
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:40,039
really looking at day to day. Results i'm trying to

983
00:50:40,039 --> 00:50:43,519
build for the long, term So i'm not necessarily watching

984
00:50:43,639 --> 00:50:46,239
the day to. Day But ryan, O'Reilly this is what

985
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:49,639
old man's strength looks, like. Folks Ryan O'Reilly's bumping up

986
00:50:49,639 --> 00:50:52,960
against point per game scoring this, year the only other

987
00:50:53,119 --> 00:50:56,320
year of his seventeen seasons in THE nhl he scored

988
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:58,760
like that was in THE covid shortened year that he

989
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,599
was basically in a point per game pace at thirty

990
00:51:01,639 --> 00:51:03,639
four as he is right. Now he might still get

991
00:51:03,679 --> 00:51:06,519
a few years of a production, in but he would

992
00:51:06,559 --> 00:51:10,599
be a piece who is the right guy to sell

993
00:51:10,679 --> 00:51:14,199
high to a win now team and a trade away

994
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,079
from a. Rebuilder this is exactly the type of GUY

995
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:19,280
i think you're trying to move at this time of

996
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,719
year and should be changing teams to help somebody in

997
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,960
a championship. Run in, O'Reilly nashville has been getting hot,

998
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:29,239
again which is not SOMETHING i expected to. Say or

999
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:33,239
they've been more respectable lately than it looked like they

1000
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:36,000
were going to be earlier this SEASON i. Could i'm

1001
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,400
not bringing Up Steven stampcos as a separate man of

1002
00:51:38,679 --> 00:51:42,360
person of interest, today But ryan O'Reilly is somebody who

1003
00:51:42,519 --> 00:51:45,119
has my attention right. Now, victor what do you think

1004
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:48,800
Of ryan O'Reilly In dynasty right? Now and is he

1005
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:50,840
a guy who you would be willing to pay the

1006
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:51,840
price for and a win now?

1007
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:52,159
Speaker 1: Build?

1008
00:51:52,679 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 3: Yeah WHAT i think about him is very confusing because

1009
00:51:56,039 --> 00:51:59,199
this hasn't really. Happened as you, mentioned this is not

1010
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:02,639
really his mo usually he's a sixty to seventy ish

1011
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:07,039
kind of point. Guy even in his best seasons before

1012
00:52:07,079 --> 00:52:09,039
this was a seventy seven point pace a bit of an.

1013
00:52:09,079 --> 00:52:12,679
Outlier there are some things that are some red flags.

1014
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:16,559
Here he's shooting almost double his career, average so that's

1015
00:52:16,639 --> 00:52:21,039
important to. Note he does have a the rest of

1016
00:52:21,039 --> 00:52:24,880
his numbers actually point to maybe deserving a little bit.

1017
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:28,840
More HIS pdo is slightly, high his some of his points,

1018
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,639
participations especially on the power, play are a little bit.

1019
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:34,880
High but then he also has a really low secondary

1020
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:39,599
assist rate and has some other indicators that that maybe

1021
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:43,960
this is. Sustainable the whole thing just feels unsustainable, Though

1022
00:52:44,559 --> 00:52:47,119
and what's really interesting is That Ryan orroiley usually thought

1023
00:52:47,119 --> 00:52:49,679
of as a very strong defensive, center two way kind of.

1024
00:52:49,679 --> 00:52:53,159
Guy his defensive metrics have been awful this. Season maybe

1025
00:52:53,199 --> 00:52:55,920
he is just phoning it in for, OFFENSE i don't,

1026
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:59,719
know but he's sixteenth percentile for, defense which is just

1027
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:02,239
because as WHEN i watch him, TOO i don't really

1028
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:04,079
get that sense, either and.

1029
00:53:04,039 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 1: He's never really been that.

1030
00:53:05,039 --> 00:53:08,679
Speaker 3: Guy but he's eighty seven percentile for offense and not good,

1031
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:12,639
defensively and even on The predators he's middle of the

1032
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:17,079
pack for corsi against his net expected. Goals he's middle,

1033
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,800
high middle of the, Pack so it's weird how he

1034
00:53:21,039 --> 00:53:25,400
is impacting the team and definitely scoring a. Lot i'm

1035
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:27,880
just a little confused because this doesn't really fit his

1036
00:53:28,039 --> 00:53:30,039
mo and some of these numbers seem a little. Wonky

1037
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:33,159
all that being, SAID i think he is the kind

1038
00:53:33,159 --> 00:53:36,440
of guy you would want to. Acquire the team has

1039
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:38,559
a lot to play. For they're sniffing around the playoffs.

1040
00:53:38,559 --> 00:53:41,480
STILL i think there definitely could still be some movement in.

1041
00:53:41,599 --> 00:53:44,159
There four points out as the time of this, recording

1042
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:48,119
so anything's. Possible but it sounds like they'll still be

1043
00:53:48,119 --> 00:53:50,559
pushing towards the playoff spot and he will be an

1044
00:53:50,559 --> 00:53:52,639
important part of. That and it seems like they've gotten

1045
00:53:52,639 --> 00:53:55,679
more scoring. Going so, yeah he's someone that if you're

1046
00:53:55,679 --> 00:53:58,880
a winning out team probably would be interested, in and

1047
00:53:59,079 --> 00:54:02,480
especially if you count perperal, stats especially if you count face.

1048
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,320
Speaker 1: Off within and that's a no brainer because he's really

1049
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:04,679
good at.

1050
00:54:04,679 --> 00:54:07,840
Speaker 3: That his hits haven't been as, good but he blocks

1051
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:11,000
a decent amount for, forwards so that part's pretty. Decent

1052
00:54:11,039 --> 00:54:13,960
it's really the face offs where he's a really important.

1053
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:18,920
Factor there so, Yeah Ryan, riley, confusing but probably a

1054
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:20,559
good guy to target if you're a win now.

1055
00:54:20,639 --> 00:54:23,760
Speaker 2: Team hey, MAN i don't mind. Confusing confusing makes the

1056
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:28,079
world go. Round next, up we've got Brock. Faber victor

1057
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:31,719
Brock faber is somebody WHO i did not expect to

1058
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:35,239
be talking about In. JANUARY i remember when he came.

1059
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:39,119
Up he was he had just a fabulous rookie, season

1060
00:54:39,679 --> 00:54:41,559
AND i think we even talked about him at the.

1061
00:54:41,559 --> 00:54:44,719
Time AND i don't want to misquote you, here BUT

1062
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:46,960
i thought that what we talked about was he was

1063
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,119
going to be more important in real life than fantasy

1064
00:54:49,599 --> 00:54:52,000
over the long, term and very. Much look in the

1065
00:54:52,079 --> 00:54:54,079
last couple of, years like that's where it was going

1066
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,880
twenty Five tom on, ice plenty of, blocks plenty of

1067
00:54:57,920 --> 00:54:59,599
what you get when you're just on the ice that,

1068
00:54:59,679 --> 00:55:02,519
long but not your. Score and then on top of,

1069
00:55:02,559 --> 00:55:05,039
that Then Quinn hughes goes. There And Quinn hughes has

1070
00:55:05,079 --> 00:55:08,880
been just. Fine he's been scoring like. Gangbusters but Brock,

1071
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:12,880
faber he's doing real well. Too he has been racking

1072
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,519
up fantasy. Stats if you haven't noticed eleven points in

1073
00:55:15,599 --> 00:55:18,760
Twelve january, games it might be as much an indicator

1074
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,000
of what happens when you're on the ice for the

1075
00:55:21,039 --> 00:55:23,840
red hot Wild the puck might bounce off you and

1076
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:26,679
suddenly you get a second assist because they discore a.

1077
00:55:26,679 --> 00:55:31,000
Lot but knowing that Brock faber can score like this

1078
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:35,199
and be actually one of the top scorers In tidy

1079
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,199
for the last, MONTH i think he's at least top.

1080
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:40,800
Twenty that he can do that With Quinn hughes's playing

1081
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:44,199
man advantage in Brock fabor not just tells me that

1082
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:46,880
there's a chance That faber could make a difference In

1083
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:50,760
dynasty playoffs this, year and therefore might be somebody others

1084
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:53,079
are thinking long, Term, nah this is not going to

1085
00:55:53,119 --> 00:55:56,199
be a, guy and yeah you can't might not be

1086
00:55:56,239 --> 00:56:00,679
a sustainable hot streak. Forever but my, goodness something's happening

1087
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:04,519
here right, Now. Victor is there any way that you

1088
00:56:04,599 --> 00:56:07,639
would up your bid a little bit on Brock faber

1089
00:56:08,599 --> 00:56:12,559
just given the outstanding run that he is, On or

1090
00:56:12,679 --> 00:56:16,280
are you going to or are you somebody thinks this

1091
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:19,239
is not going to. Last this Is Quinn. Hughes Brock

1092
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:22,320
faber is not going to. Score let's not get overboard

1093
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:24,400
because you're gonna have to pay a premium with the

1094
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:25,679
young age next to his.

1095
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:29,480
Speaker 3: Name interesting, questions AND i think you did characterize my

1096
00:56:29,519 --> 00:56:32,280
position pretty. ACCURATELY i always thought of him as a

1097
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:35,360
better real life player than fantasy. Asset he was a

1098
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:39,440
really strong play driver and defensive sort of, player and

1099
00:56:39,519 --> 00:56:42,119
so that was always something that we thought of. Him and,

1100
00:56:42,199 --> 00:56:44,880
yeah that first season did seem like a bit of an.

1101
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:48,280
OUTLIER i didn't think we'd see him regress so hard

1102
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:50,920
the following season to just a thirty point pace player

1103
00:56:51,679 --> 00:56:54,400
and then rebound all the way back up to over

1104
00:56:54,639 --> 00:56:57,360
like he's pacing right now for a career high forty

1105
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:00,639
nine point. PACE i think what's, interesting, too is that

1106
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:04,519
his defensive metrics this season have been very, muted their

1107
00:57:04,679 --> 00:57:08,480
average forty ninth percentile for. Defense what's crazy is his

1108
00:57:08,599 --> 00:57:13,039
expected offense is. Insane he's a ninety second percentile offensive,

1109
00:57:13,119 --> 00:57:16,199
driver which just doesn't really make sense with the narrative

1110
00:57:16,199 --> 00:57:18,480
and what you think of. Him and even on the

1111
00:57:18,519 --> 00:57:23,400
wild his expected goal differential is right Behind Quinn hughes really,

1112
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:26,400
good but his corsi against is one of the worst

1113
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:29,880
on the, team which doesn't really make, sense and his

1114
00:57:30,239 --> 00:57:34,599
expected goals against per sixty is also average to below,

1115
00:57:34,639 --> 00:57:37,360
Average so none of this really makes.

1116
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:37,719
Speaker 1: Sense With.

1117
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,159
Speaker 3: Fabor you mentioned him pairing With, hughes and that is

1118
00:57:40,159 --> 00:57:45,840
a pretty dynamic, pairing but his production actually Preceded, hughes

1119
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:47,719
and a lot of people thought Once hughes gets, here

1120
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:49,960
he's not gonna be able to score as, much not

1121
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:50,480
going to keep it.

1122
00:57:50,559 --> 00:57:52,280
Speaker 1: Up but he, has and so that's.

1123
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:55,559
Speaker 3: WEIRD i definitely still think of him more AS i

1124
00:57:55,559 --> 00:57:57,719
don't think on your fantasy team you Want Brock favor

1125
00:57:57,760 --> 00:57:59,960
to be your number one defenseman or even your number.

1126
00:58:00,119 --> 00:58:02,880
Two as a three, four depending on how many slots you,

1127
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:06,519
have that could be very. Valuable and that's HOW i

1128
00:58:06,559 --> 00:58:08,559
have him on a couple of teams right, now and

1129
00:58:08,679 --> 00:58:10,559
he's killing it and exceeding.

1130
00:58:10,599 --> 00:58:13,639
Speaker 1: Expectations SO i like. THAT i think it will.

1131
00:58:13,719 --> 00:58:17,039
Speaker 3: CONTINUE i Think minnesota is clearly showing that one of

1132
00:58:17,079 --> 00:58:18,440
the best teams in the league right, now and a

1133
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:20,119
lot of it comes from that back end.

1134
00:58:20,519 --> 00:58:23,559
Speaker 1: And him playing With, hughes he's gonna just look into.

1135
00:58:23,599 --> 00:58:26,039
Speaker 3: Points but also you see them kind of trading off chances,

1136
00:58:26,079 --> 00:58:28,840
Too like it isn't All. Hughes Sometimes favor will jump

1137
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:31,960
up and he's been pretty productive and is not really

1138
00:58:32,119 --> 00:58:35,280
entirely based On hughes being. THERE i think that it's

1139
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:38,960
really interesting that he's been able to re establish himself

1140
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,960
as a as an offensive, player AND i would have

1141
00:58:42,039 --> 00:58:42,599
interested with.

1142
00:58:42,679 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 1: HIM i was just looking up on hockey.

1143
00:58:46,119 --> 00:58:49,519
Speaker 3: Viz The with Or Without you With faber and With Quinn,

1144
00:58:49,599 --> 00:58:52,199
hughes because that's a lot of the narrative and essentially

1145
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:56,679
it's right smack in the, middle meaning it's not really

1146
00:58:56,719 --> 00:59:00,840
helping that. Much in, fact Without hughes he's slightly, worse

1147
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,719
But i'm not sure it's really significant at. All so,

1148
00:59:04,679 --> 00:59:08,880
basically according to a lot of these, metrics the impact

1149
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:11,679
of playing With hughes hasn't really Affected favor's, value and

1150
00:59:11,719 --> 00:59:13,239
he was pretty strong before.

1151
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:14,480
Speaker 1: That so if you.

1152
00:59:14,519 --> 00:59:16,519
Speaker 3: Believe all, that and if you believe it will, CONTINUE

1153
00:59:16,559 --> 00:59:18,760
i think at worst it's not going to hurt, him

1154
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:20,920
and most likely it's going to help him more than

1155
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:25,800
it has. Already so, YEAH i am, also AS i mentioned,

1156
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:28,679
previously confused a little bit about this, one just based

1157
00:59:28,679 --> 00:59:30,840
on what we saw originally and then last season and

1158
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:32,480
then now this. Season it just seems like a bit

1159
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:35,119
of a rollercoaster And i'm not sure exactly what to

1160
00:59:35,159 --> 00:59:38,000
think Of. Favor BUT i think one thing's for sure

1161
00:59:38,039 --> 00:59:40,000
is he's going to continue to get big. Minutes he's

1162
00:59:40,039 --> 00:59:42,159
going to continue to get. Opportunities he's going to play

1163
00:59:42,159 --> 00:59:45,079
with some of the best players On, minnesota And i'd

1164
00:59:45,079 --> 00:59:48,039
be interested in certainly in having him and probably in

1165
00:59:48,079 --> 00:59:50,320
acquiring him, too as long AS i have some other

1166
00:59:50,519 --> 00:59:52,280
top end defenseman in front of. HIM i don't want

1167
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:54,800
him to be my number one or number, two but beyond,

1168
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:56,480
that he could provide you tremendous.

1169
00:59:56,559 --> 00:59:57,920
Speaker 1: Depths so, Yeah i'm pretty into Brock.

1170
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:02,039
Speaker 2: Favor like every crime proced dural you've ever, Watched, victor

1171
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:04,679
persons of interest are supposed to confuse you a little.

1172
01:00:04,719 --> 01:00:06,960
Bit we'll, see we'll see who done it in the.

1173
01:00:07,079 --> 01:00:10,440
End the last one of these persons of INTEREST i

1174
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:13,800
wanted to bring up to You Victor Josh. MANSON i

1175
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:16,320
listened a couple months. AGO i don't know if you

1176
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:19,119
listened To Dimitri philipovitch and THE pdo. Cast they like

1177
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:22,679
had half an episode just dedicated To Josh manson and

1178
01:00:22,719 --> 01:00:24,920
how much they enjoyed the way he played out there

1179
01:00:25,039 --> 01:00:27,400
because he does fun things on the. Ice he bashes

1180
01:00:27,679 --> 01:00:31,280
like a, madman which we love around. Here still in

1181
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:34,360
line for one of his best scoring seasons this. Year

1182
01:00:34,559 --> 01:00:38,000
he plays out there Beside Brent, burns which probably is

1183
01:00:38,039 --> 01:00:41,360
a somewhat offensive. Role that's a good. Thing entertainment, points

1184
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:44,320
fantasy points could make him a nice deep, target and

1185
01:00:44,599 --> 01:00:47,679
of course you just never. KNOW a lower down defenseman

1186
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:51,679
on The Colorado avalanche is a suspicious factor because you

1187
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:55,119
know that there Are There's Sam, gerard There's kill. Mccarr

1188
01:00:55,159 --> 01:00:58,400
there's a lot of defensemen making that thing. Happen the

1189
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:01,960
guy who really hasn't had an amazing offensive years since

1190
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:05,519
he was In anaheim years. Ago to do, this is

1191
01:01:05,559 --> 01:01:09,400
it sustainable or? Not BUT i don't know why. Not

1192
01:01:09,519 --> 01:01:12,480
at this point he's having an excellent. Season he might

1193
01:01:12,519 --> 01:01:14,639
be a good win now guy because he's that middle

1194
01:01:14,679 --> 01:01:16,760
age later middle age when people might be starting to

1195
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:19,039
try to sell on. Him what do you think About

1196
01:01:19,119 --> 01:01:19,760
Josh Manson?

1197
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:24,559
Speaker 3: Victor, YEAH i remember after The cup that they had

1198
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:27,880
there was a lot of discourse, Around, wow he's just

1199
01:01:28,039 --> 01:01:31,519
he's really, struggled and he. Did he was had some

1200
01:01:31,599 --> 01:01:34,880
rough times in, there but it seems like he's figured

1201
01:01:35,239 --> 01:01:37,679
settled into his role a little bit more.

1202
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:39,599
Speaker 1: And he's been.

1203
01:01:39,639 --> 01:01:42,239
Speaker 3: AWESOME i was looking at his numbers right, now he's

1204
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:47,400
ninetieth percentile overall and hockey involving, hockey eighty ninth percentile for,

1205
01:01:47,639 --> 01:01:51,440
defense and ninety second percentile for, offense which just doesn't

1206
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:54,800
really make. Sense he's points, wise he's a little bit

1207
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:57,119
better than his career, average but he's been in that

1208
01:01:57,559 --> 01:01:59,599
thirty ish point. Range he's a little bit above that right,

1209
01:01:59,639 --> 01:02:02,400
now four. Points but he's not someone that you really

1210
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:05,760
expect to do that, much although his numbers would suggest.

1211
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:08,760
Otherwise maybe we should be expecting more from him. OFFENSIVELY

1212
01:02:09,199 --> 01:02:12,480
i don't. Know looking at the, numbers he does have

1213
01:02:12,719 --> 01:02:18,280
a lot of expected goals four and, actually really these

1214
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:21,079
numbers are just confusing all Around jesse because the expected

1215
01:02:21,079 --> 01:02:24,400
goals four for sixty for defenseman on The carler avalanche

1216
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:27,239
kill mccarr is number, six which just doesn't make any

1217
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:28,960
sense at. All maybe it's just one of those things

1218
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:32,119
where the metrics don't track the things that he do

1219
01:02:32,159 --> 01:02:35,000
because he's just a freak and can create offense out of.

1220
01:02:35,039 --> 01:02:37,800
Nothing that's the narrative That i'm going to tell myself

1221
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:41,599
because it Has Sam, Lensky Devontaeve's Brent, Burns JACK. A

1222
01:02:41,719 --> 01:02:45,039
khan And Josh manson just ahead Of kill, mccarr which is.

1223
01:02:45,119 --> 01:02:49,400
Hilarious but one thing that is interesting is that the

1224
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:53,239
defensive metrics are out of this world For Josh. Manson

1225
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:56,880
his corsi against is incredible at negative two point, five

1226
01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:58,519
four best on the team by, far one of the

1227
01:02:58,519 --> 01:03:00,480
best in the, league and his net ex to goal

1228
01:03:00,519 --> 01:03:03,639
differential is incredible as, well right there With Sam, lensky

1229
01:03:03,679 --> 01:03:07,519
who offers a little bit more. Offense, Yeah i'm definitely Into.

1230
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:10,960
Manson his, periffs as you, mentioned are just outstanding as.

1231
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:14,840
Well he's encroaching on three hits per, game which is just,

1232
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:17,920
bananas and his blocks are really good as, well closer

1233
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,239
to one point. Five he doesn't shoot that. Much you'll

1234
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:24,000
tolerate that based on his strong other. Periffs and he's

1235
01:03:24,039 --> 01:03:26,320
on the best team in the, league so he's going

1236
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:28,199
to look into assist every now and, then even if

1237
01:03:28,239 --> 01:03:31,960
he doesn't provide raven if he doesn't necessarily deserve it

1238
01:03:32,039 --> 01:03:33,719
or create it as. Much, YEAH i think that there's

1239
01:03:33,719 --> 01:03:35,599
a good reason to be Into Josh. Manson he's a

1240
01:03:35,639 --> 01:03:38,320
perfect win now trade target, too because he's a little bit.

1241
01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:40,119
Older how much longer is he going to? Play how

1242
01:03:40,159 --> 01:03:41,480
much longer he's going to play at this, LEVEL i

1243
01:03:41,519 --> 01:03:43,679
think is an important question that we don't. Know BUT

1244
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:46,159
i think there's a lot to be said for guys

1245
01:03:46,159 --> 01:03:48,960
who just fits super well in a, system and he

1246
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:51,239
fits really well in this. SYSTEM cad is an awesome,

1247
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:55,719
team and you're not getting kill mccarr unless you're sending

1248
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:58,920
the most amazing. Assets But Josh manson could be a

1249
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:01,599
really important, piece a depth piece for your, team AND

1250
01:04:01,639 --> 01:04:02,280
i think it's a great.

1251
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 2: Target, jesse, Tremendous. Victor that's all the persons of INTEREST i.

1252
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:10,000
