00:00:26,719 --> 00:00:30,359
Speaker 3: We are getting so close, Victor, but today we are

8
00:00:30,359 --> 00:00:33,200
gonna talk one more team. You are the Fantasy Hockey Doctor.

9
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,039
I'm some guy from fan Tracks. How you doing today?

10
00:00:37,119 --> 00:00:40,439
Speaker 2: I am doing awesome, Jesse, some guy from pantracks. How

11
00:00:40,439 --> 00:00:40,880
are you doing?

12
00:00:42,359 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 3: That's right, I'm just some guy. I should have a

13
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,479
shirt that just says I'm some guy. No, Victor, I'm

14
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,520
doing well. It is that time of year, it is

15
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,439
we're close. We are so frigging close to hockey, to

16
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,159
real hockey, Victor. Can you feel it? Can you feel

17
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:58,399
it in your bones out there?

18
00:00:59,759 --> 00:01:03,679
Speaker 2: Definitely? Yeah. Starting to see some prospect action Ohl, some

19
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,359
KHL actions. There's some junior leagues that are getting going

20
00:01:07,879 --> 00:01:10,200
over there in Sweden Finland are starting up. So it's

21
00:01:10,239 --> 00:01:12,799
all getting there. And we're only a couple of weeks

22
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,239
or pretty close actually to training camps. So it's happening.

23
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,200
It's feeling like all the things are happening, Jesse.

24
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,599
Speaker 3: That's right, it's all happening. It's all happening. The buzz

25
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,519
will start. And when the buzz starts, you'll probably see

26
00:01:24,519 --> 00:01:26,959
it over in the Fantasy Hockey Life discord because it's

27
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,920
free and it's got hundreds of hockey fans. I'll talk

28
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,239
about yourselves. There's people there who are setting up leagues

29
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,400
right now. Now's the time of year to find that.

30
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,719
I saw one person in there today saying, Hey, I'd

31
00:01:37,719 --> 00:01:40,760
be willing to jump into an orphan team in a

32
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,599
dynasty league. That's that guy is my dream. I don't

33
00:01:43,599 --> 00:01:46,000
happen to need one any money leagues right now, but

34
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,680
it seems like I'm always looking for somebody in some

35
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,239
kind of league to jump in. And I think that's

36
00:01:51,239 --> 00:01:53,719
not the only one. But more to the point, probably

37
00:01:53,719 --> 00:01:55,920
people are setting up new leagues. You could do that. Heck,

38
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,680
you go in and try to start up a league,

39
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,920
dear listener, you go do itor. If people can get in,

40
00:02:00,959 --> 00:02:03,319
they just have to email us Fantasy Hockey Live at

free discord right.

45
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 2: Absolutely a lot of great bonus content over at patreon

46
00:02:19,479 --> 00:02:21,520
dot com. You can listen to patron Cast, which we're

47
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,879
going to be doing a fun called their Trophy Draft,

48
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,000
which would be great. One of the things that we

49
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,280
didn't mention publicly, but I put together a Guillotine League,

50
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:32,759
which should be super fun, and that's something that I

51
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,360
opened up to all patrons, and there's a cash reward

52
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,520
and I covered the entry We covered the entry league

53
00:02:39,719 --> 00:02:41,520
fee for them, so people get to play in this

54
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:44,319
fun league for free as a patron, and it's if

55
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:46,520
you never play in a Guillotine league, it's really fun. Basically,

56
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,159
the worst team each week gets eliminated, all those players

57
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:50,599
go to free agent, and then the rest of the

58
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,319
teams fight over those players. It sounds super fun. It's

59
00:02:54,319 --> 00:02:57,319
been done in other leagues and other sports, but this

60
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,240
is the first time we're trying it. And of course,

61
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,199
fantracks a lot you to do that allow you to

62
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,560
do all kinds of fun things, so that's fun. We're

63
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,439
drafting for that right now. There's also you can get

64
00:03:06,479 --> 00:03:08,000
on the wait list for the tidy for the Tier

65
00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:10,159

69
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, we'll be right back to talk to our guests.

70
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,039
We welcome to the show. I can't believe he's a

71
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,680
first time guest, but he is one of the He

72
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,280
is one of the elite podcasters in the space right now.

73
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:42,759
He is making all the good stuff over at Apples

74
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,800
and Ginos. It is Nate. How you doing today, Nate.

75
00:03:46,719 --> 00:03:50,719
Speaker 4: I'm doing better now with that intro. It's been a

76
00:03:51,039 --> 00:03:54,280
it's been a good week. We're finally getting into true

77
00:03:54,319 --> 00:03:57,520
fantasy hockey season. We were getting ready for a new

78
00:03:57,759 --> 00:04:00,520
season of NHL Hockey and it couldn't be more excited.

79
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, absolutely, And we're gonna talk about the Maple

80
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,719
Leafs today. Nate. This is this your team? Is this

81
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:07,919
your favorite team?

82
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,159
Speaker 4: This is my favorite team. Unfortunately it has not been

83
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,479
an easy ride. But this is a legacy passed down

84
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,639
from generations before, so I didn't have that much choice

85
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:20,120
in the matter.

86
00:04:20,879 --> 00:04:22,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, I'll try to set it up for

87
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,439
you here, Nate. The Leafs won the Atlantic Division. They

88
00:04:26,439 --> 00:04:29,800
were top five at shooting percentage and say percentage. Last year,

89
00:04:30,199 --> 00:04:33,079
they won the first round very narrowly lost in the

90
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,680
second round, giving the back to Bat champs their closest

91
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,839
series of the playoffs. That they were slightly upset in

92
00:04:39,879 --> 00:04:42,920
the second round, but basically about where their record would

93
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,639
have had them. Naturally, everybody in Toronto reacted very calmly.

94
00:04:46,959 --> 00:04:49,439
The team had a nondescript offseason and everything is going

95
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,720
to pick up right where it left off in October.

96
00:04:51,879 --> 00:04:54,879
Except for losing the twenty eight year old fifth leading

97
00:04:54,959 --> 00:04:58,680
score in the history of an Original six franchise, who

98
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,800
seemed to not like getting docks threatened and so forth

99
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,399
at the end of his time in Toronto. The truth

100
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,399
is actually a side. It's always those few knuckleheads.

101
00:05:07,439 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 2: Really.

102
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,199
Speaker 3: The truth is actually, aside from that, the team is

103
00:05:11,439 --> 00:05:14,920
pretty similar to last year. As the loss of Mitch Marner.

104
00:05:14,959 --> 00:05:17,360
We'll talk about one big ad a little bit later today,

105
00:05:17,399 --> 00:05:20,199
but we're going to talk about all these recurring characters

106
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,839
or returning characters on the team one by one. But

107
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,720
what's the big picture here is the windows still open

108
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:26,800
in the post Marner era.

109
00:05:28,199 --> 00:05:31,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the windows still open. Definitely, on paper,

110
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,519
it looks like a step backwards.

111
00:05:33,519 --> 00:05:33,879
Speaker 2: It's heart.

112
00:05:34,079 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 4: You can't replace a player of Mitch Marner's caliber. On paper,

113
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,120
there's pretty much no way to do it. People are

114
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,160
talking about how they went and spent that money on

115
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,360
three third liners, and they're not too heavy about it

116
00:05:45,399 --> 00:05:48,199
in lease Land a lot of the time. But I

117
00:05:48,199 --> 00:05:52,000
think they were forced into that position by previous decisions

118
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,720
made by management, getting Mitch Marner to this point where

119
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,720
he had to make this decision. Overall, like I do

120
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:58,959
think this season.

121
00:05:59,079 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 2: Was a success.

122
00:06:00,079 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 4: Garubay got the players to buy into the new system

123
00:06:03,319 --> 00:06:07,639
that he had here. It wasn't as an exciting offensive

124
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,279
system as Sheldon Keith had brought in years prior, but

125
00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:13,639
the players really did buy in. I think they reassembled

126
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,160
the defense cores and that was a big reason why

127
00:06:16,199 --> 00:06:18,839
they were able to give to Florida Panthers as much

128
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:23,000
trouble as they were just big, muscly guys who could

129
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,079
take a bit of a beating that the Panthers liked

130
00:06:25,079 --> 00:06:29,079
to bestow on opposing defenses, especially in the playoffs. And

131
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,079
so I think the general plan was a success. And

132
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,399
obviously they're left with not the desirable result in the end.

133
00:06:37,879 --> 00:06:41,000
Looking ahead, I think you have to project a somewhat

134
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,160
of a step backwards, especially for fantasy purposes with Marner

135
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,240
out of town, But that will open some opportunities for

136
00:06:47,319 --> 00:06:50,600
some other players as well.

137
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,439
Speaker 3: Let's start with Austin Matthews. It was an unfortunate year

138
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,079
for Matthews. The injuries nagged at him. That was the

139
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,839
main thing that I saw. I think I recall yet

140
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,319
why to Germany for treatment? At one point he missed

141
00:07:02,319 --> 00:07:06,800
fifteen games all told. Yet somehow seventy eight points in

142
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,040
sixty seven games. Shots per sixty were still top five

143
00:07:10,079 --> 00:07:13,120
in the league. He averages well over a block and

144
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,920
two thirds of a hit per game in our tidy system.

145
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,199
The dinged up Austin Matthews was still seventh in fantasy

146
00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:21,720
points per game. All in all, not a great way

147
00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:25,120
to start his big new contract. But Austin's the captain

148
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,439
of the NHL's premo franchise and he's on a Hall

149
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,879
of Fame trajectory. He should be able to keep up

150
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,959
that success this year if he's healthy. What do you

151
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,360
think about matthew season and is he going to bounce

152
00:07:35,399 --> 00:07:37,279
back and give us that elite season we're looking for.

153
00:07:37,399 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 2: Nate.

154
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the key here is he one hundred

155
00:07:41,279 --> 00:07:44,040
percent healthy for the whole year. I don't know how

156
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,920
you feel about it, but I always feel better when

157
00:07:45,959 --> 00:07:48,920
I hear in the offseason, yeah, he's gonna have surgery

158
00:07:49,079 --> 00:07:51,319
and everything's gonna be fixed, and then he's going to

159
00:07:51,319 --> 00:07:54,480
be one hundred percent ready to go come September. And

160
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,959
the plan for Matthews was just more rest. And that

161
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,560
just felt scary to me to hear that that there

162
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,879
wasn't like some issue that they felt they could fix

163
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,199
and get him back at one hundred percent. It's just

164
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,879
more rest. I'm not a doctor, I'm not claiming to be.

165
00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:10,319
I'll leave that to Victor and the rest of the

166
00:08:10,399 --> 00:08:13,160
doctors that we have out here, but that part is

167
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,319
a little bit scary, and with good reason that being said,

168
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,399
Like even playing through some pretty obvious pain at times,

169
00:08:20,759 --> 00:08:24,800
Matthews did still have a tremendous season, absolutely on that

170
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,639
kind of Hall of Fame trajectory you're talking about. The

171
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,959
big question outside of the injury is what can he

172
00:08:31,079 --> 00:08:34,600
do with Marner out of town? And I honestly don't

173
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,679
think it's going to affect him as much as a

174
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,759
lot of people do. People ask the same question about

175
00:08:39,759 --> 00:08:43,159
Ovechkin when Nicholas Backstrom left, and I think Ovechkin and

176
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,159
Matthews is Matthews. There's a reason that these guys put

177
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,519
the puck in the net as much as they do.

178
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,720
I went a little bit deeper than that. I went

179
00:08:51,759 --> 00:08:54,679
into the five y five time on ice with and

180
00:08:54,759 --> 00:08:58,440
apart from Marner, trying to figure out what Matthews looked

181
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,639
like under the hood when he played with Marner at

182
00:09:00,639 --> 00:09:03,639
five five and when he was away from him, And honestly,

183
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,399
the individual scoring chance is four p sixty slightly better

184
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,799
without Marner on the ice, which is not something you

185
00:09:08,799 --> 00:09:12,679
would have assumed. His shooting percentage was slightly better without

186
00:09:12,759 --> 00:09:15,720
Marner at fivey five as well, also not something you

187
00:09:15,759 --> 00:09:18,759
would have assumed. His shot rate, his actual shots per

188
00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:21,039
sixty did fall a little bit, so he's shooting a

189
00:09:21,039 --> 00:09:23,799
little bit less, but he is being more efficient getting

190
00:09:23,799 --> 00:09:26,919
more high danger shots without Marner over the last three years,

191
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,440
and so I really think that it's a little bit

192
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,879
overblown how much Marner leaving is going to affect Matthews.

193
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,679
I still think he's pretty elite at the end of

194
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,159
the day, and I do have him projected for fifty goals,

195
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,000
one hundred points. I think, honestly, Brubay's effect on this

196
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,600
team is a bigger story for matthews fantasy projection than

197
00:09:46,639 --> 00:09:47,519
Marner leaving town.

198
00:09:51,639 --> 00:09:55,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll just say that as a physician, surgery doesn't

199
00:09:55,879 --> 00:09:59,080
always fix everything right. So sometimes, and I hear what

200
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,080
you're saying. Sometimes it's great when there's a simple, easy solution,

201
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,759
but it isn't always the case, and sometimes things go sideways,

202
00:10:05,759 --> 00:10:08,200
and sometimes you just need to rehab. So the reality

203
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,519
is that we don't really know what's going on. Only

204
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,399
his doctors know. So I agree with you though about

205
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,279
the optimism for Matthews. So I'm excited for that, and

206
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,720
I'm really excited for this next guy because we've been

207
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,120
talking for years about how the Maple Leafs have two

208
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,840
first line right wings and now they only have one.

209
00:10:24,879 --> 00:10:27,320
But it's big Willie time. And he had his fourth

210
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,519
straight eighty plus point season, continuing to put up elite

211
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,399
underlying offensive metrics. He scored a career high forty five

212
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,559
goals despite the decline and his shot volume from three

213
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,360
point nine to three point one shots per game, and

214
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,279
he scored a career high seventeen point seven on percent

215
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,080
of those shots, which that's a little high. That might

216
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,279
come down. But with his low hit and block rates

217
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,720
combined with the decreasing shot volume, his bash went from

218
00:10:47,919 --> 00:10:50,559
went down to three point six to one per game,

219
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,440
which ranked him three hundred and twenty third. He used

220
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,399
to be much better for bash, but as the scoring

221
00:10:54,399 --> 00:10:56,759
has gone up, his bash has got down a little bit.

222
00:10:56,799 --> 00:10:59,600
So obviously we talked about the departure of Marner. I

223
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,960
definitely feel like Nilander can take up a lot of

224
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,559
the slack and get a lot of that scoring. But

225
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,519
I think it depends if he sticks with Tavaras and

226
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,360
move to play with Matthews. I feel like it's gonna

227
00:11:09,519 --> 00:11:11,440
hopefully he gets some time with Matthews. But what do

228
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,399
you think, Natan, what do you think his production is

229
00:11:13,399 --> 00:11:14,159
going to be this season?

230
00:11:15,279 --> 00:11:18,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's definitely possible that he plays with Matthews.

231
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,799
They've tried this combination a few times. Obviously, Marner has

232
00:11:20,799 --> 00:11:23,159
been matthews line mate for the vast majority of the

233
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,960
time that the two have been there together in Toronto,

234
00:11:26,039 --> 00:11:28,240
but they have tried Nelander there and it's always worked.

235
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,600
You're talking about two elite players. You put them together,

236
00:11:30,799 --> 00:11:33,200
they'll they're going to figure it out. So if he

237
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,440
does get that would obviously be a lot better for Kneelander,

238
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,600
a lot worse for Tavars. But either way, Neelander's going

239
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,000
to get his I haven't projected again for forty three goals,

240
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,440
eighty five points, thirty points on the power play. I

241
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,480
think that he's just really consistent in this range. I

242
00:11:49,519 --> 00:11:52,320
don't think that he's going to get some big boost

243
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,840
in terms of the time on ice the power play.

244
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,559
I don't think that's necessarily in the cards here. I

245
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,639
don't think there's a lot more that you can really

246
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,320
ask of a guy at even strength. Just by the

247
00:12:03,399 --> 00:12:06,039
virtue of game flow, you're going to have some short

248
00:12:06,039 --> 00:12:08,840
handed opportunities that Kneelander's just going to be off the ice.

249
00:12:08,879 --> 00:12:11,919
So I don't really see him getting much beyond the

250
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,679
nineteen and a half minutes that I'm projected for. But

251
00:12:14,759 --> 00:12:18,039
you are talking about a guy who is absolutely elite

252
00:12:18,039 --> 00:12:20,879
in everything. We like to look at all the underlying metrics,

253
00:12:20,919 --> 00:12:24,919
the advanced stats, the all three zones, microstats, soon entries

254
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,559
controlled the entry percentages, entries with chances high dangeroussists, whatever

255
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,279
you want to look at. William neelanders absolutely up there

256
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,320
and I feel really confident about eighty five point projection

257
00:12:36,519 --> 00:12:37,840
and always a chance for more.

258
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 3: On to John Tavares, the senior statesman of that former

259
00:12:44,919 --> 00:12:47,600
core four, has signed on for most of the remainder

260
00:12:47,639 --> 00:12:50,679
of his thirties at a fraction of his former salary.

261
00:12:51,039 --> 00:12:53,480
He was still highly productive in twenty four to twenty five.

262
00:12:53,519 --> 00:12:56,000
I feel like John Tavares of anything that has become underrated,

263
00:12:56,039 --> 00:12:58,759
and I don't understand it. He was actually second on

264
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,440
the team and goals above our placement last year, behind

265
00:13:01,799 --> 00:13:04,919
the aforementioned Marner. The advanced stats are a little all

266
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,840
over the place, actually, but he and Neilander continue to

267
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,200
make a good team when they're together. He remains a

268
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,960
mainstay on the top power play. What do you think?

269
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,600
How is JT going to score this year? With whom?

270
00:13:15,799 --> 00:13:17,000
What is your thought on this guy?

271
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 2: Yeah?

272
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 4: I still have Tavarius for a pretty healthy projection thirty

273
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,080
five goals, seventy four points, twenty one of that on

274
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,799
the power play, one hundred and five hits as well,

275
00:13:24,799 --> 00:13:28,120
which is nice for your bangers leagues. I really think

276
00:13:28,159 --> 00:13:31,159
that Tavers does work well with Kneelander at even strength.

277
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,559
I think it's probable that they keep those two together

278
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,759
and let Nys and Matthews be compearing on the top line,

279
00:13:37,159 --> 00:13:39,559
run these duos together, and then try to work in

280
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,879
the third wheel on either side of them. The thing

281
00:13:42,919 --> 00:13:46,360
with Tavares is obviously he's slowing down, he's getting advanced

282
00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:49,559
in age, but it really doesn't seem like the mind

283
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,120
has left him. He's still a really good hockey mind.

284
00:13:53,159 --> 00:13:55,000
He knows where to be, he knows how to play

285
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,519
off ofland Neelander's the guy with the puck on his stick,

286
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,919
and Tavarus is at the end of passes a whole lot,

287
00:14:00,159 --> 00:14:02,559
and he's really good at getting into the right spot.

288
00:14:02,919 --> 00:14:04,600
Going to be a key part of that power play,

289
00:14:04,639 --> 00:14:07,279
perhaps even more so with Marner out of town, they'll

290
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,960
be looking to feed him even more. I do think

291
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,480
that Tavares is in line for another season. I don't

292
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,240
think we've seen a sign yet for him to really

293
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:15,759
fall off.

294
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 2: And the next guy, Matthew Nice, he had a breakout season,

295
00:14:23,039 --> 00:14:26,960
jumping from thirty five to fifty eight points. Increases numbers

296
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,360
across the board, tim and I shots, hits, blocks, he

297
00:14:29,399 --> 00:14:31,879
mostly played on the line with Matthews and Marner, earned

298
00:14:31,879 --> 00:14:33,720
that top that spot on the top power play you

299
00:14:33,759 --> 00:14:36,960
need after the first month of the season. Excellent bash here,

300
00:14:37,639 --> 00:14:40,919
four point seventy nine bash per game, ranking him seventy ninth.

301
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,919
That's a big reason why he was early on noticeable

302
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,480
to fantasy gms. But then the scoring game too, which

303
00:14:46,519 --> 00:14:49,399
is really exciting. So do you think Nice can build

304
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,080
on that season, Nate, and get up till seventy ish

305
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,360
point pace. It certainly seems like he has the opportunity,

306
00:14:54,399 --> 00:14:56,399
but his shooting percentage seems like it might come down

307
00:14:56,399 --> 00:14:56,879
a little bit.

308
00:14:57,919 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's going to be the tough part here is

309
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,080
how much that shooting percentage can we believe nineteen point

310
00:15:03,159 --> 00:15:06,360
one percent last year? That being said, like he only

311
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,720
factored into fifty six percent of the goal scored when

312
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,480
he was on the ice last year, and with another year,

313
00:15:12,519 --> 00:15:14,480
can he take another step in that department? Can he

314
00:15:14,559 --> 00:15:18,080
be one of the more primary play drivers. With Marner

315
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,279
out of town, maybe Nice has the puck on his

316
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,200
stick a little bit more and he and Matthews are

317
00:15:23,279 --> 00:15:26,120
able to work together as that duo on the top line.

318
00:15:26,159 --> 00:15:29,240
I think that's definitely possible skated eighteen and a half

319
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,320
minutes on average last year. I think that might even

320
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,759
go up. I have him projected for just under twenty.

321
00:15:35,159 --> 00:15:37,840
I think that it's reasonable to suggest that he's at

322
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,919
least going to match what he did last year, and

323
00:15:41,159 --> 00:15:43,919
just by virtual volume, with always a chance for more

324
00:15:44,039 --> 00:15:46,000
on the power play, with always a chance for more,

325
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,440
just by virtue of if he is able to sustain

326
00:15:48,519 --> 00:15:49,840
a higher shooting percentage.

327
00:15:53,679 --> 00:15:56,559
Speaker 2: And we got to talk about the newcomer, Mattias Mitchelli.

328
00:15:56,639 --> 00:15:58,480
I've long been a fan of Michelli, even back to

329
00:15:58,519 --> 00:16:03,159
his prospect days. After an early breakout career in Arizona,

330
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,159
the twenty four year old winger had a pretty difficult

331
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,279
season in Utah. He started in the top six, but

332
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,440
struggled to produce before dropping down the lineup and even

333
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,440
getting healthy scratched. Finished with eighteen points of fifty five games,

334
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,840
twenty seven point pace, massive drop off from the two

335
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,440
prior seasons where he averaged at sixty points. The thing

336
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,159
we all know bau Michelli, though, is that he can

337
00:16:21,159 --> 00:16:23,159
be really hard to roster at times because his bash

338
00:16:23,279 --> 00:16:25,399
is just awful one point eight four per game, six

339
00:16:25,559 --> 00:16:27,759
hundred and sixty six hundred and eighty first is where

340
00:16:27,759 --> 00:16:30,440
he ranks in terms of the whole league. That's really

341
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,840
difficult if he's not getting those assists, which he wasn't

342
00:16:33,879 --> 00:16:37,399
for a while last season. He's definitely a playmaker, pass first, second,

343
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,320
third kind of guy, and with his on I shooting

344
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,399
percentage drops, it really hurts him. And that's what happened

345
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,639
last season nine point eight to six point two, which

346
00:16:44,679 --> 00:16:48,679
significantly decreases production, even though his expected goals in ipp

347
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,960
were actually in line with previous seasons, which gives me

348
00:16:51,039 --> 00:16:54,639
tons of optimism. Made both A there's a prime spot

349
00:16:54,639 --> 00:16:56,480
for him in the top six and B. I think

350
00:16:56,639 --> 00:16:58,639
his underlying number suggest that he should be able to

351
00:16:58,679 --> 00:17:01,039
slot right in and get back to it. Sixty is

352
00:17:01,159 --> 00:17:03,519
point pace days. What do you think about that for Mitchelli?

353
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, I honestly think it's well within the range of possibilities.

354
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,839
Mitchelli's underlying metrics all look really good. You don't really

355
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,319
see a fall off there. It really just does seem

356
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,359
like the percentages are what fell off here. So yeah,

357
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,400
I think there's a real chance. I don't think the

358
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,599
Leafs go out and acquire Mittias Mitchelli to play him

359
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,720
down on the third line and try to have him

360
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,920
grind it out either. I think if you're going out

361
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,720
to intentionally acquire Mitthias Mitchelli, you have a plan in

362
00:17:29,759 --> 00:17:31,960
mind for him, and he doesn't have to be the

363
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,920
guy on the Leafs right He can fit in as

364
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,480
that left winger alongside Tavrus an Elander. Maybe they try

365
00:17:37,559 --> 00:17:40,119
him at right wing as the Murner replacement on the

366
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:44,240
top line with Nys and Matthews, and I think either

367
00:17:44,279 --> 00:17:46,960
of those could be a potential fit. The all three

368
00:17:47,039 --> 00:17:51,480
zone stuff for Michelli looks unbelievable rush offense, absolutely top

369
00:17:51,559 --> 00:17:54,680
end of the league' zone entries. It's all their shot assists.

370
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,000
He's doing all that, So I do see a natural

371
00:17:57,039 --> 00:18:01,039
fit as a distributor alongside I'd either a shooter like

372
00:18:01,079 --> 00:18:04,680
Kneelander or a shooter like Matthews. I think that it

373
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,039
makes a lot of sense this acquisition, and he's going

374
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,839
to get a solid chance to prove it because the

375
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,279
Leafs do need to fill out this top six with

376
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,279
Murner out of town. It was already a sore spot

377
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,240
who was going to play that second line left wing

378
00:18:16,279 --> 00:18:19,079
with Tarius Kneelander for much of last year, and so

379
00:18:19,279 --> 00:18:21,680
I think Mitchelli is going to get every opportunity to

380
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,279
be a top six player for the Leafs.

381
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,079
Speaker 3: Now, we're going to give you a pick them of

382
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,279
two more of the more depth forwards on this team.

383
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,799
A couple of guys in hockey middle age. We got

384
00:18:32,839 --> 00:18:36,039
Bobby McMahon and Max Domy. We got the twenty eight

385
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,839
year old McMahon, who who had thirty four points to

386
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,519
seventy four games last year. We've got the thirty year

387
00:18:42,559 --> 00:18:45,759
old Max Domy who has he had some good moments

388
00:18:45,759 --> 00:18:49,039
for those Leaves last year with thirty three points to

389
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,359
seventy four games. Who do you like better of this

390
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:56,200
twosome for scoring purposes? For fantasy purposes.

391
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, for fantasy, I think you go with McMahon. He

392
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,920
was the most common line mate for Tavaris and Lander

393
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,440
last year. He did score twenty goals in seventy four games.

394
00:19:05,559 --> 00:19:07,880
He shoots a fair bit. He is a guy. He's

395
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,960
not much of a playmaker, but he will drive the net.

396
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,960
He will take the shots at the end of the day,

397
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,680
and that's gonna work for fantasy. Also throws the body

398
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,759
a lot more than Max Domi do only had thirty

399
00:19:17,759 --> 00:19:20,079
one hits last year and McMahon had one hundred and

400
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,559
thirty six and not much of a contest there. I

401
00:19:22,559 --> 00:19:25,400
don't think McMahon is like some breakout waiting to happen.

402
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,920
But if he gets that deployment again, then I think

403
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,680
you can expect him to try to approach twenty goals

404
00:19:30,759 --> 00:19:34,000
once again. And so if they're choosing between the two,

405
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,519
I would definitely go McMahon.

406
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,519
Speaker 3: Moving on to the blue line, Nate, We're gonna start,

407
00:19:40,599 --> 00:19:44,160
of course with Morgan Riley. His scoring dip down last year,

408
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,039
down to half a point per game for the first

409
00:19:46,039 --> 00:19:49,519
time since the mid twenty tens. He's into his thirties now.

410
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,680
He played with a few different partners and I'm not

411
00:19:51,799 --> 00:19:54,759
quite sure what happened looking back. He used to apparently

412
00:19:54,799 --> 00:19:57,680
be glued to TJ. Brody in last year was the

413
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,599
first year without that happening, but he dropped down to

414
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,960
six in the team on power play, Tom on Ice.

415
00:20:03,319 --> 00:20:06,960
What I read said Mitch Marner was taking the role

416
00:20:07,079 --> 00:20:10,440
that Riley would sometimes occupy on of course, that rolls

417
00:20:10,519 --> 00:20:12,759
back open up hits and Tom and Ice were both

418
00:20:12,799 --> 00:20:15,680
down for Riley. Surely he's still the centerpiece of this

419
00:20:15,799 --> 00:20:18,480
decor for this team, and thirty one is not old

420
00:20:18,519 --> 00:20:21,079
for a defenseman. Can he get back to sixty? And

421
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:22,880
what's the deal with Morgan Riley?

422
00:20:24,279 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 2: Yeah?

423
00:20:24,519 --> 00:20:28,559
Speaker 4: I don't think sixties in the cards for Riley anymore. Unfortunately.

424
00:20:28,759 --> 00:20:32,000
I think he has just been a pretty awkward fit

425
00:20:32,079 --> 00:20:35,599
with what Craig Berube wants his defenceman to do, and

426
00:20:35,839 --> 00:20:38,319
as a result he saws ice time dropped down pretty

427
00:20:38,319 --> 00:20:41,680
significantly last year in twenty three twenty four. He skated

428
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,240
twenty three minutes forty four seconds average time on ice

429
00:20:44,319 --> 00:20:47,640
last year down to twenty one twenty three and lost

430
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,960
the power play. As you mentioned to Mitch Marner, I

431
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,319
do think the most likely sneero is that he does

432
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,000
get that power play back this year. I don't really

433
00:20:55,039 --> 00:20:59,000
have another strong option to take that over, but it's

434
00:20:59,279 --> 00:21:04,519
worth monitoring how this situation plays out with Berubey. I

435
00:21:04,559 --> 00:21:06,519
think the Leafs are a team that could be in

436
00:21:06,559 --> 00:21:08,880
the market for a power play quarterback throughout the course

437
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,839
of the season, So Riley could start there and not

438
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,799
finish there as he did this past year. That's definitely

439
00:21:15,079 --> 00:21:19,680
a potential possibility. At even strength, the Leafs really relied

440
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,319
on Jake McCabe and Chris tannev to shut down other

441
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,680
team's top lines, and that just naturally led to less

442
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,359
ice time from Morgan Riley. So I haven't projected right

443
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,440
now for forty five points, and that's with a sixteen

444
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,000
and a half power play points the way the numbers

445
00:21:36,039 --> 00:21:38,920
came out in my projections. So some power play time

446
00:21:39,079 --> 00:21:41,920
again for sure. And I think when he's there, he'll

447
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,960
definitely be fantasy relevant. But I'm not convinced that he's

448
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,440
gonna be just stuck there all year. I don't think

449
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,960
we get the sixty point upside anymore. I could see

450
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,960
fifty five points in an upside case, but that's probably

451
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:54,440
the ceiling.

452
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 3: And in terms of fantasy, the other defenseman that comes

453
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,880
into view for us frequently was Ali backman Larson. His

454
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,279
years of wandering seem to have finally ended in Toronto.

455
00:22:07,559 --> 00:22:10,839
He is very consistent year to year. Really, he gets

456
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,160
a smattering of bash, thirty points, good number of minutes.

457
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,039
That's the Oel blueprint since those early days that everybody

458
00:22:18,079 --> 00:22:21,000
remembers in Arizona when maybe he was doing a little

459
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,200
bit more offensively. But what do you think of Eckman

460
00:22:24,279 --> 00:22:27,279
Larson's fit in Toronto, And do you is he going

461
00:22:27,319 --> 00:22:29,240
to be the second best D on the team and

462
00:22:29,599 --> 00:22:33,000
what are you expecting from him.

463
00:22:32,319 --> 00:22:36,839
Speaker 4: For fantasy purposes? Yeah, probably most likely to score the

464
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:41,079
second most points amongst defensemen behind Riley, for sure, he

465
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,480
does okay, and the other stuff like I haven't projected

466
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,920
for one hundred and fourteen shots, one hundred and five hits,

467
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,720
eighty two blocks, so you're getting the per game number

468
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,359
that is like kind of at a baseline level, right

469
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,920
like you're thinking about it. At least with Oel, he's

470
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,960
been really consistent. I think the team really likes him.

471
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,640
But he also is most likely to play on the

472
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,599
third pair to start the season. They do spread out

473
00:23:06,599 --> 00:23:09,599
the minutes pretty evenly at even strength, and he will

474
00:23:09,599 --> 00:23:12,000
probably be on the second power play unit. So I

475
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,480
do think that he has some utility, but probably more

476
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,200
on the back end of his career, in the back

477
00:23:18,279 --> 00:23:20,160
end of his fantasy relevance at this point.

478
00:23:23,519 --> 00:23:25,759
Speaker 2: All right, let's shift over to the goalies now. The

479
00:23:25,759 --> 00:23:29,839
Maple Leafs had the twenty third ranked expected goals against

480
00:23:29,839 --> 00:23:32,880
for sixty but conceided the eighth ranked actual goals, which

481
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,880
means that they were well above expected and that was

482
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,119
true for both of their goalies. Stolars had thirty one

483
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,200
goals save above expected and Joseph Wall had seventeen. And

484
00:23:43,279 --> 00:23:44,920
this was a great season for Stolars. A lot of

485
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,960
people were wondering, how's he going to handle having more work,

486
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,000
playing more games. He did play more games, but just

487
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,000
a little bit more than usual, and that was mostly

488
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,400
because of injury. Though he was excellent until he missed

489
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,440
a couple months with the knee injury. Finished second in

490
00:23:59,519 --> 00:24:03,039
the lead in terms of goals Stale expected high thirty

491
00:24:03,079 --> 00:24:06,319
four games, but the injury in the playoffs was very

492
00:24:06,319 --> 00:24:10,279
controversial against Sam Bennett and that really disrupted his game.

493
00:24:10,519 --> 00:24:12,599
So the question is can you stay healthy for forty

494
00:24:12,599 --> 00:24:14,720
plus games and we'll see what he we can do.

495
00:24:14,839 --> 00:24:17,920
Let's also touch on Wall, who had a good season

496
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,440
leading a team of twenty seven wins and has a

497
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,240
really reasonable contract, also had really positive numbers. He's in

498
00:24:24,279 --> 00:24:26,200
the first year of a three year deal paying him

499
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,559
three point seven million. I think overall we can agree

500
00:24:29,599 --> 00:24:32,400
that this is the right amount of money to pay goalies,

501
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,200
and it's really nice to see them perform of expected.

502
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,680
Those should be good options for your zero G strategy, Nate.

503
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:39,359
I would assume.

504
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, they'll definitely both be in there for sure. Yeah.

505
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,440
I think Stolars did establish himself a little bit as

506
00:24:46,559 --> 00:24:48,279
one a. You saw him get most of the run

507
00:24:48,319 --> 00:24:51,240
in the playoffs before getting injured. But I think the

508
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,559
Leafs do view this as a tandem. I think they

509
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,640
view that as the optimal way to use your goaltenders

510
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,640
show at the course of the season, get two guys

511
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,319
healthy to the playoffs, and then let the hot guy

512
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,240
take over. I think that's the way that we should

513
00:25:04,279 --> 00:25:07,680
anticipate it going this way this season. I should say

514
00:25:08,559 --> 00:25:11,240
I think Stolars will get the opening night's start. I

515
00:25:11,279 --> 00:25:14,079
think he's more likely to get forty five to fifty

516
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,079
starts than wall Is. But I think by and large

517
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,240
they're probably gonna do a one game on one game

518
00:25:20,319 --> 00:25:22,640
off scenario to open the year and then see how

519
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,640
it plays out from there. Goalies, they can change a

520
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,599
lot year to year. Things can happen. It wouldn't be

521
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,759
surprising to see one start to outshine the other and

522
00:25:31,799 --> 00:25:33,480
to get a bit more run in the net. I

523
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,039
don't think anybody would be too surprised by that. But

524
00:25:36,079 --> 00:25:38,759
definitely Stolars has the edge heading into the season.

525
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 3: All right, this has been a tour around the Toronto

526
00:25:45,079 --> 00:25:47,799
Maple Leaves. I imagine everybody within the sound of my

527
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,359
voice knows how to listen to your Golden Tones on

528
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,240
a regular basis, Nate. But if not, remind them how

529
00:25:54,279 --> 00:25:55,440
to find your stuff.

530
00:25:56,839 --> 00:26:00,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, Apple's and Gino's Fantasy Hockey Podcastever you get your

531
00:26:00,599 --> 00:26:03,960
podcasts run on YouTube. If you want to look at

532
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,480
my face, maybe you're probably coming to look at Blake's

533
00:26:06,519 --> 00:26:09,000
face and not mine, but either way, you can come

534
00:26:09,079 --> 00:26:13,240
see us on YouTube. We just released our Fantasy Hockey

535
00:26:13,279 --> 00:26:16,960
Guide this week, first week of September here as we're recording,

536
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,079
so that's definitely out there if you're playing redraft this year.

537
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,200
We got a ton of great information in there. I

538
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,400
had gotten thirty two hundred word article on how to

539
00:26:27,519 --> 00:26:30,920
outdraft your smartest opponent in your league, so you can

540
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:31,960
check that out as well.

541
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 3: Wow, five out of five would recommend Nate's content. I

542
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,079
won't speak to the faces. I have no opinion on

543
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,480
the faces, but Nate's content is top of the line.

544
00:26:41,839 --> 00:26:43,599
Thank you so much for coming on, Nate. This has

545
00:26:43,599 --> 00:26:46,039
been a great talk about the Toronto Maple Leafs.

546
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:47,759
Speaker 4: My pleasure. Thanks guys.

547
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 3: K Wilson that's good fire fat.

548
00:26:56,599 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, long Ques.

549
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 3: Right now, it's your weekly goalie Talk with Kat Silverman,

550
00:27:07,599 --> 00:27:10,240
Kat's Instincts.

551
00:27:09,839 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 2: And once again for Kat's Instincts. With Kat Silverman and

552
00:27:12,279 --> 00:27:15,599
Ben bullmag we're talking Toronto made Beliefs goalies and they

553
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,000
have two, I would say, really solid goalies. We're gonna

554
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,960
start with Archer Aktiamof, the twenty two year old sixty

555
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,759
two hundred and seventy pounds drafted one hundred and sixth

556
00:27:24,839 --> 00:27:27,640
overall back in twenty twenty. This was his first season

557
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,000
in North America playing for the Marleys, and his numbers

558
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,359
were pretty good looking at the hockey prospecting for him,

559
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,759
it's been a pretty steady upward trend, culminating at about

560
00:27:36,839 --> 00:27:39,559
seventy percent chance of being an NHLer, which is pretty

561
00:27:39,559 --> 00:27:42,240
I mean, the list of comc are all pretty much

562
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,599
nhlor slash Hall of Bamers. He looks quite a bit

563
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,480
like Togarask in this model, not necessarily stylistically, but Kay,

564
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,559
what are your instincts tell us about aktiam Off.

565
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 5: I am so excited that this is the actiamisans here.

566
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,759
I'm ready to see him get his shot. I remember

567
00:28:02,039 --> 00:28:06,559
during his draft year, he was technically one of the

568
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,440
highest performing of the twenty twenty draft eligibles. That was

569
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,119
obviously a really weird year for draft eligibles because there

570
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:17,759
were guys who played absolutely no games, and he was

571
00:28:17,839 --> 00:28:22,279
doing a really good job in the MHL at that point.

572
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:27,920
He did a pretty solid job after that of maintaining

573
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:33,279
elite numbers minus his one KHL game in twenty twenty one,

574
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,759
twenty twenty two wasn't his best performance. I think that

575
00:28:36,839 --> 00:28:38,799
can be overlooked at this point, just looking at his

576
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:44,039
numbers across the board. I would love to see what

577
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,640
he can do in an NHL game, just because I

578
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:54,039
think that Toronto's goaltending over the last year or two

579
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:58,119
here has been good, but they've been missing that not

580
00:28:58,279 --> 00:29:03,519
the player that fans can get rabid over, because as

581
00:29:03,559 --> 00:29:06,200
always I cautioned Toronto fans to be nice to their

582
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,160
goaltenders and to calm down.

583
00:29:09,119 --> 00:29:12,559
Speaker 6: But I do think that.

584
00:29:14,599 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 5: He could be their next really fun hype guy, especially

585
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,319
because they have finally moved on from the Matt Murray experiment,

586
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,920
so this year they have a really nice, really nice

587
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,960
opportunity to flesh out their depth chart moving forward.

588
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,039
Speaker 6: I would argue that they were in.

589
00:29:35,559 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 5: I don't want to say that they were in true

590
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:43,599
flux after James Rymer and Jonathan Bernier, but they were.

591
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:50,240
We didn't see consistent confident goaltending depth chart status for

592
00:29:50,359 --> 00:29:54,319
anyone after that point. I think we are there with

593
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:55,119
Joseph Wall.

594
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:56,319
Speaker 6: He is their brick wall.

595
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 5: Anthony Stolars has been really fun to watch take the

596
00:30:03,079 --> 00:30:07,960
reins as a really steady, reassuring presence as a backup.

597
00:30:08,359 --> 00:30:10,559
But he is not a long term solution for them

598
00:30:10,599 --> 00:30:13,319
because I believe, if I remember correctly, he is now

599
00:30:13,359 --> 00:30:16,480
on the wrong side of thirty by a couple years

600
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,279
because he is thirty one, so he will be thirty

601
00:30:19,279 --> 00:30:22,039
two this year. That is not something that looking at

602
00:30:22,079 --> 00:30:23,839
the next three to five years, they want to keep

603
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,680
him forever. I think it's time to let actm off

604
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,519
play a couple games at the NHL level.

605
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,039
Speaker 6: I'm ready for it, Toronto's ready for it.

606
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 5: I need the fans to let him have a couple

607
00:30:34,599 --> 00:30:38,720
bad games, let him shake it off, and I think

608
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,720
he'll be great. And I would love to see a

609
00:30:40,759 --> 00:30:43,440
wool Actamo of tandem, and I think that is what

610
00:30:43,519 --> 00:30:47,960
I asked for last year, and they have come closer

611
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,480
to giving it to me than they have any tandem

612
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,079
I have requested over the last five or six years.

613
00:30:53,079 --> 00:30:55,720
So I think they've finally learned their lesson.

614
00:30:55,519 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 6: Which is nice.

615
00:30:57,119 --> 00:30:59,319
Speaker 2: Indeed, I'm excited to see him in the NHL. And

616
00:31:00,759 --> 00:31:02,799
we'll talk about the next guy too, who I think

617
00:31:02,839 --> 00:31:05,240
also has some pretty good upside at Dennis Hill to

618
00:31:05,319 --> 00:31:08,079
be twenty three years old, six foot seven, two hundred

619
00:31:08,079 --> 00:31:11,279
and twenty three pounds, drafted back in twenty twenty two,

620
00:31:11,279 --> 00:31:14,720
one hundred and twenty second overall. This was his second

621
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,000
HL season. He played fewer games in last season, but

622
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:18,880
part of that was because of the splitting of the

623
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,680
net with Doctamoff than the aforementioned Matt Murray, who is

624
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,160
no longer with the aple Leafs. He's now with the

625
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,319
Crack in the Hill Debest as he's oftener referred to,

626
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,319
did play the most games of that trio and had

627
00:31:30,359 --> 00:31:33,880
better numbers than Actiamoff. Anyways, Matt Murray did have the

628
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:39,119
best numbers of the three, possibly slightly unsurprising looking at

629
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,240
the hockey prospecting for Hill to be, he's trended up

630
00:31:42,279 --> 00:31:44,960
to forty eight percent chance of being in NHL. Er

631
00:31:45,039 --> 00:31:47,079
so he's got some pretty good comps. One of them,

632
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,720
funny is Anthony Stolars. So there you go. Could be

633
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,440
a starter like his teammate. Yeah, what are you easting

634
00:31:53,519 --> 00:31:54,440
to tell us about hi'll Be?

635
00:31:55,400 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 5: I think he's a really fun studying contrast with actem listed.

636
00:32:01,079 --> 00:32:04,440
Akdamov is listed at six' one one sixty eight plays

637
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:09,720
a very, small, aggressive dominant. Game Dennis hildeby is six foot,

638
00:32:09,759 --> 00:32:12,039
seven two hundred and twenty three. POUNDS i think the

639
00:32:12,039 --> 00:32:14,079
two of them need to take all of their roster

640
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,480
photos standing side by. Side they shouldn't be allowed to

641
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:20,359
take them. Alone i'm interested to see where he'll To

642
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,799
be fits into their, lineup just BECAUSE i based on

643
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:29,039
WHAT i like From Joseph wole's game and knowing How

644
00:32:29,079 --> 00:32:31,279
toronto has tended to operate in.

645
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:32,119
Speaker 6: The past with their.

646
00:32:32,119 --> 00:32:35,559
Speaker 5: Defense they tend to like having two goaltenders who play

647
00:32:35,559 --> 00:32:39,720
fairly complimentary styles to one. ANOTHER i would like to

648
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,039
See aktamov And wol as their main tandem moving. Forward

649
00:32:43,119 --> 00:32:45,480
hill To be plays a little bit of a slower

650
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,640
game than the two of, them BUT i think he'll

651
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,359
To be And stolars are comparable. Players it is fun

652
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:58,160
that occasionally we have entire days where we talk about

653
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,920
prospect and we look at the comparables and every comparable

654
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,559
as a player who is five foot ten next one

655
00:33:04,559 --> 00:33:07,480
who is six foot, seven and they play totally different.

656
00:33:07,519 --> 00:33:11,680
Styles AND i feel like most of the ones that

657
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,440
we have been looking at, recently it's like they've cloned each.

658
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,759
Other and because hill To be And stolars are both

659
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,799
big boys who play WHAT i would call quote unquote

660
00:33:21,799 --> 00:33:24,920
big boy, hockey hill To be is not super. Aggressive

661
00:33:25,319 --> 00:33:29,240
he doesn't like to get too fast when he's skating.

662
00:33:29,279 --> 00:33:32,200
Around he just the whole disposition plays a little bit

663
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:33,160
of a more conservative.

664
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 6: GAME i think he looks.

665
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 5: GOOD i notice that he is unsigned as of right

666
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,000
now By. Toronto obviously that is something that is in their.

667
00:33:44,039 --> 00:33:49,319
Control BUT i hope that is something That toronto does

668
00:33:49,359 --> 00:33:53,640
something about fairly, quickly because they're a team that really

669
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,440
likes to wait until the eleventh hour to sign their

670
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:02,759
goaltenders who are pending RFAs and really get into the

671
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:03,680
nitty gritty.

672
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 6: Of negotiations with.

673
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 5: THEM i think if they want hill To be to

674
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:10,519
stick around long term as potentially the third member of

675
00:34:10,519 --> 00:34:12,679
a rotating. CAST i know that wool has had some

676
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,800
injury issues in the, past SO i would love to

677
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,840
see them have that THIRD nhl capable goaltender three or

678
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,360
four years down the. Line so Both hill to be

679
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,880
an acdam. OF i think they should just pay him

680
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:29,519
what he. Wants BUT i don't. KNOW i think it

681
00:34:29,599 --> 00:34:31,679
is a breath of fresh air that we are able

682
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,360
to look at What hill to be an actam of

683
00:34:33,599 --> 00:34:36,599
can do within their depth chart without having to wonder

684
00:34:37,559 --> 00:34:40,679
what The Matt murray situation. IS i thought that dragged

685
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:45,280
on probably two years too, long and it did create

686
00:34:45,519 --> 00:34:48,960
a weird net split situation at THE hl level For

687
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:50,960
actamo Un hill To be last.

688
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 6: YEAR i don't.

689
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 5: KNOW i think it'll be refreshing this year to see

690
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,000
what they're able to do. TOGETHER i would like to

691
00:34:58,039 --> 00:35:00,079
see when they need to call someone up them to

692
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,559
alternate back and, forth give both guys a chance to

693
00:35:02,599 --> 00:35:03,719
play SOME nhl.

694
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 6: Games and then move forward from.

695
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 5: There but IT'S i don't Want toronto fans to get

696
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,880
mad at me If i'm, Wrong but it seems like

697
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:14,559
it is a good time to be a fan Of

698
00:35:14,599 --> 00:35:17,599
Toronto Maple leafs skull, tending AND i Hope i'm.

699
00:35:17,679 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 2: Right that is not a statement that should make anyone.

700
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,039
Speaker 6: MAD i HOPE i am right about.

701
00:35:24,079 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 5: IT i think it would only make them mad If i'm,

702
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:27,760
wrong WHICH i HOPE i am, not.

703
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 2: And kreig If i'm wrong reading between the, lines AND

704
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:32,960
i believe you said this in the, past that you

705
00:35:33,039 --> 00:35:34,920
like up a little bit more Than he'll to be.

706
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 6: Just a little.

707
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 2: Bit, yeah, yeah that's WHAT i, thought perfect.

708
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 6: Though THAT i was going to. Say it is nice

709
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,679
though that they have both in their. System that, is.

710
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,519
Speaker 5: Even THOUGH i like one a little more than the,

711
00:35:47,559 --> 00:35:53,159
other there is not a huge gap in WHAT i

712
00:35:53,199 --> 00:35:56,239
would evaluate both of them as.

713
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 2: It seems like a great place for them to be.

714
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,840

Speaker 3: Drafting we'll be back right after. This Dig it's the

738
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:35,000
dynasty Dig arountoly. Believes, Addition, victor this is the number

739
00:37:35,039 --> 00:37:37,599
thirty system in. Hockey they burn him In, churnham they

740
00:37:37,639 --> 00:37:41,119
bring him up and they're no. Brainer he was the

741
00:37:41,159 --> 00:37:43,960
hot talk of a couple of years ago because first of,

742
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,719
all he hated him and then we loved. Him who

743
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:46,000
is it.

744
00:37:48,199 --> 00:37:51,199
Speaker 2: That would Be Eastern. Colwen, yeah definitely a little surprising

745
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,599
when he went twenty eighth overall in the twenty twenty three,

746
00:37:54,679 --> 00:37:57,440
draft and then after HIS d plus one, season everyone

747
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,159
came around and, said, yeah actually it's pretty. Good five

748
00:38:00,199 --> 00:38:02,639
to eleven and eighty five. Pounds this, season his point

749
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,760
production took a step back from ninety six points and

750
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,679
fifty four games to sixty nine points in forty six,

751
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,199
games but he did add another thirty nine points and

752
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,960
seventeen playoff games en route to The Memorial cup with

753
00:38:13,159 --> 00:38:17,679
The London. Knights he'll be transitioning to professional ranks this

754
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,639
year and most likely he will be playing for The Toronto,

755
00:38:20,639 --> 00:38:23,599
marleys but he will try to make The leafs roster

756
00:38:23,679 --> 00:38:26,400
out of, camp AND i think that there's a reasonable

757
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,119
chance that he at least gets the nine game. Trial

758
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,000
probably not more than, that but you never. Know his

759
00:38:32,159 --> 00:38:35,360
tracking data For Mitch brown looks pretty awesome based on

760
00:38:35,519 --> 00:38:40,400
last season ninety seven rank. Overall his offense and transition

761
00:38:40,519 --> 00:38:42,880
both at ninety five to ninety six percent just look.

762
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,760
Elite his defense ranks only sixty six, percentile so not

763
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,480
quite so. Good definitely some work. There and that's the

764
00:38:49,519 --> 00:38:51,679
concern THAT i would have for, him is that he's

765
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,079
an offensive player whose offense is good but is it

766
00:38:54,119 --> 00:38:56,840
going to fully translate and if it, doesn't what's HIS b?

767
00:38:57,039 --> 00:38:59,840
Game because his defensive game right now isn't all that.

768
00:39:00,079 --> 00:39:03,400
Great but he is looking pretty good so. Far looking

769
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,719
at his fenny Highest Fantasy Hockey Life player, card there's

770
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,559
a lot of green on this. Card most of the

771
00:39:07,599 --> 00:39:10,599
things look, excellent including his, bash which is mostly driven

772
00:39:10,599 --> 00:39:12,519
by his, shots but he actually hits a decent amount

773
00:39:12,559 --> 00:39:16,800
fiftieth percentile for an eighty two percent, bash and overall

774
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:18,920
a lot of his play driving numbers are really. Good

775
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,079
one thing that isn't is his puck battles one and

776
00:39:21,119 --> 00:39:23,400
this is definitely a concern being that he's a little

777
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,280
bit of a smaller player at five eleven point eighty.

778
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:26,760
Five is he going to be able to compete hard

779
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,400
enough and win loose? PUCKS i don't. Know based on

780
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,760
HIS ohl, time there's some concerns, there but his transition

781
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,440
game looks really. Good let's hear a little bit more

782
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,960
About Easton cowan though from OUR fhl, Scout jesse.

783
00:39:41,039 --> 00:39:45,679
Speaker 3: And Easton's cowen is the subject Of chris Our scout's.

787

result he was often seen manning the point On London

knight's power. PLAY a confident puck handler is unafraid to

793
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,639
dangle in and out of, traffic but he will have

794
00:40:22,679 --> 00:40:25,119
to learn better puck management skills at the next, level

795
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,360
as he will often try to do too much instead

796
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:32,760
of opting for the simple. Play callen boasts a strong

797
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,480
risk shot with quick, release but will need to improve

798
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:40,440
on shot, selection minimizing shots from low danger areas his HOCKEY,

break up. Plays also emerged as a dangerous penalty killer

807
00:41:12,119 --> 00:41:14,599
and is routinely counted on to help close out games

808
00:41:15,039 --> 00:41:19,440

where he's been counted on in all. Situations but the

811
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:31,079
biggest concern is the undersize nature Of Eastern, cowen especially

812
00:41:31,079 --> 00:41:33,360
since he's not an a lead. Skater true to his cowboy,

813
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,559
Nickname cowen can be reckless and will need to relieve

814
00:41:36,639 --> 00:41:38,880
himself of his junior habits to gain the trust of

815
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:43,159
coaches at subsequent. Levels the top tier outcome here probably

816
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:47,199
second line offensive, output but energy versatility too in or

817
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,960

toolsy player with GREAT iq drive to succeed benefit from

819
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,639
an extended stay in THE ahl to build strength and

00:41:56,679 --> 00:42:00,400

824
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:15,360

flyers And Eastern cowen wins that one big sixty to

833
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:46,840
forty percent. Victor what do you?

834
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:53,320
Speaker 2: Think, yeah this is. TOUGH i think that both of

835
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:57,480
these guys play for teams of fan bases that are

836
00:42:57,519 --> 00:43:00,920
rabbid and. Passionate so typically my answer might involve take

837
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:02,840
the maple leaf and then sell them to your maple

838
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,639
leaf fan in your, league which could also work for

839
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,039
Your flyer fan. Here BECAUSE i do think these guys are,

840
00:43:08,079 --> 00:43:10,480
SIMILAR i think That cowen probably has a little bit

841
00:43:10,519 --> 00:43:13,840
more offense And luchenko has a little bit better all

842
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:18,119
around slash defense. Game luchenko has a little bit better

843
00:43:18,159 --> 00:43:21,960
staying power in THE, nhl But cowen is probably going

844
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,840
to be here you're more excited about in fantasy if

845
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,719
he can actually translate to the professional, ranks Which i'm

846
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,880
not sure. About SO i probably would Take cowen UNLESS

847
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,280
i was in a league that just valued security and

848
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,280
having guys play even if they're not that, productive THEN

849
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,360
i might Take. Luchenko looking at the hockey prospective between these,

850
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,280
Two luchenko has a thirty percent chance of being a

851
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,519
star And cowen just eleven percent this, season so much.

852
00:43:45,559 --> 00:43:48,639
Better based on HIS ohl, numbers AND i mentioned a

853
00:43:48,679 --> 00:43:51,000
little bit about His Fantasy Hockey life player, card there's

854
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,960
similar positivity, here a little less bash in terms of

855
00:43:55,079 --> 00:43:57,559
the shots are actually really low For, luchenko but the

856
00:43:57,599 --> 00:43:59,639
hits are, better so that's. Interesting it averages out to

857
00:43:59,639 --> 00:44:02,079
be a little worse Than, cowen but a lot of

858
00:44:02,119 --> 00:44:04,480
his transition numbers and play driving are pretty. Good his

859
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,679
puck battles won eighty eightieth PERCENT, tile so that's a bit.

860
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,920
Better looking at some other comps For, cowen not a

861
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:14,119
whole lot of exciting names. Here Patrick bergland is one

862
00:44:14,159 --> 00:44:17,039
who was similar average. Producer that's probably what we're going

863
00:44:17,119 --> 00:44:20,360
to expect From. Cowen the J fresh model just has

864
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,199
n't at three percent chance of being a, star thirty

865
00:44:22,199 --> 00:44:24,000
four percent chance of being AN nhl aer.

866
00:44:24,679 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 3: And victor who is your need to know?

867
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:32,039
Speaker 2: Prospect the need to know Is Noah chadwick twenty, twenty

868
00:44:32,039 --> 00:44:34,719
three hundred and eighty fifth, overall sixty, four two hundred

869
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:38,599
and seven pound defenseman put up his second consecutive season

870
00:44:38,599 --> 00:44:42,400
over fifty, points which was really. Great that was with

871
00:44:42,519 --> 00:44:47,840
The Lethbridge hurricanes OF whl and finished with fifty three

872
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,480
points in sixty six games fourteen points in sixteen playoff.

873
00:44:50,519 --> 00:44:53,880
Games all that was pretty great bow on HIS whl.

874
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,000
Career he'll be playing professionally next. Season looking at HIS

875
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,840
fhl or, sorry his tracking data From Mitch brown ninety

876
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:04,280
first percent for, offense ninety eighth for, transition eighty fifth per.

877
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,760
Defense the thing that really isn't great has expected goals

878
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:09,480
and shots are really, low but the rest of his

879
00:45:09,559 --> 00:45:12,719
numbers are all pretty. Stellar looking at His Fantasy Hockey

880
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:16,719
life player, card his bash is pretty decent sixty seven

881
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,199
percentile not. Great his blocks are actually pretty low for a.

882
00:45:19,199 --> 00:45:22,280
Defenseman his hits are, average his shots are a little

883
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,480
bit above. Average let's hear a little bit more about

884
00:45:25,519 --> 00:45:27,440
noahchadback from our fragil, Scout JESSE.

885
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 3: Afhl Scout chris says this About Noah. Chadwick he's an adequate,

886
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:35,719
skater good lateral mobility for his. Size, however he's going

887
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,039
to need to continue first to increase first step quickness

888
00:45:39,039 --> 00:45:42,280
as he moves up the professional. Ranks an underrated distributor

889
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:46,480
mutinely makes smart plays with the, puck whether he's evading

890
00:45:46,559 --> 00:45:49,119
a four, checker moving the puck up eyes from manning

891
00:45:49,119 --> 00:45:52,559
the point on the top power, Play chadwick demonstrates confidence

892
00:45:52,599 --> 00:45:57,039
and quickly identifying outlets and executing on those. Plays, Shooting

893
00:45:57,159 --> 00:45:59,840
chadwick's a willing shooter with a hard slap shot and,

894
00:46:00,119 --> 00:46:03,599
heavy accurate. Rister he displays good awareness and shot, selection

895
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:07,159
including routinely throwing pucks at the net in traffic to

896
00:46:07,199 --> 00:46:12,679
generate chances THE. Iq chadwick uses his above average hockey

897
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,440
sense to poise to evade four checkers and move the

898
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,480
puck out of the defensive zone to start the. Rush

899
00:46:18,679 --> 00:46:21,559
he regularly makes sound decisions playing with confidence at both

900
00:46:21,639 --> 00:46:23,880
ends of the ice and is counted on in all

901
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:28,599
situations for. Checking he demonstrates good reads in the offensive

902
00:46:28,639 --> 00:46:30,639
zone and will pinch from the blue line when the

903
00:46:30,639 --> 00:46:35,119
opportunity presents. Itself defense a solid defender with good positioning

904
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,519
in the defensive, zone he uses his length effectively to

905
00:46:38,559 --> 00:46:42,039
break up plays through well timed poke. Checks chadwick is

906
00:46:42,079 --> 00:46:45,960
not overtly, physical, however he regularly uses his size to

907
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,280
box out opponents in front of the net and will

908
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,159
throw the body along the boards to separate the opposition

909
00:46:51,199 --> 00:46:55,440
from the. Puck so the best, Asset chadwick doesn't try

910
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:58,880
to play outside of his. Abilities he leverages his skill

911
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,800
set effectively without trying to do too, much displaying a

912
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,480
maturity within his. Game he has a good, base but

913
00:47:04,519 --> 00:47:08,159
will continue to improve all facets of his. Game in,

914
00:47:08,199 --> 00:47:12,440
particular he's going to need to improve initiating physicality and

915
00:47:12,599 --> 00:47:15,360
utilizing his large frame more effectively at the next, level

916
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,280
something he will be expected to do as a player

917
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:21,239
of his size in a bottom pairing. Role the top

918
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:24,719
tier outcome here middle pairing all situation defender size and

919
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:28,480
physicality chips in twenty to thirty. Points that's because he

920
00:47:28,519 --> 00:47:31,639
has a solid all around skill, set size and excellent decision,

921
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:35,800
making but the median outcome seventh Defenceman ahl call up

922
00:47:36,159 --> 00:47:38,880
as a sixth round. Pick the competition stiff. Man the

923
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:42,159
odds are stacked against him despite his solid progression to.

924
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,480
Date but if you want to stylist the comparable for

925
00:47:44,519 --> 00:47:48,400
what he could, Be jake, McCabe solid all around defender with,

926
00:47:48,519 --> 00:47:51,760
size reach and puck moving. Acumen the archetype of a

927
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:55,119
defender of the leafs Now. Covet chadwick will compete for

928
00:47:55,159 --> 00:47:57,280
a spot on The marleys this fall and the least

929
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,679
may have a bottom pairing option in two to three

930
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:04,320
years if he continues on his development. Trajectory final. Thoughts

931
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,599
chadwick was the captain of The Letharge hurricanes this past

932
00:48:07,599 --> 00:48:11,559
season and third on The. Hurricanes was scoring fifty three,

933
00:48:11,639 --> 00:48:13,719
points put up close to a point per game in

934
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,840
the playoffs seven goals in fourteen points in sixteen games

935
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:21,440
which closed out HIS whl, career And Mason black THE

936
00:48:21,559 --> 00:48:25,239
nhl ranking puts up the Poll Noah chadwick Versus jonah

937
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:30,000
Of vyas signing vas signen Oh. Cheapers nobody's allowed to

938
00:48:30,039 --> 00:48:33,280
Pick finns from now one Victor chadwick wins, thankfully SO

939
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,000
i don't have to say the other guy's name a second.

940
00:48:35,039 --> 00:48:37,360
Time sixty eight to thirty two. Percent what do.

941
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:41,519
Speaker 2: You think Univison? IN i think is how you say.

942
00:48:41,559 --> 00:48:45,519
IT i am going to take Vison, in so it's

943
00:48:45,559 --> 00:48:48,559
good THAT i figured out how to say. It BUT

944
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,840
i do think that both these, guys, yeah their depth

945
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:56,239
guys probably not super exciting in terms of fantasy. Option

946
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,559
this is if you're in a really deep, league like

947
00:48:58,599 --> 00:49:00,960
a thirty two team, league you might be deciding between these.

948
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:05,360
Guys otherwise it's probably not even a. Consideration but looking

949
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:09,119
at the transition data and the play, driving vison was

950
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:13,519
much better Than, Chadwick SO i think just FOR nhl

951
00:49:14,039 --> 00:49:16,880
probability and his ability to translate that to THE, Nhl

952
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,079
i'm probably going to go Vison. IN i should. Mention

953
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:22,719
Vison in was drafted twenty twenty, four six round hundred

954
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,119
and seventy fifth. Overall he's a six to zero right

955
00:49:25,119 --> 00:49:28,119
handed d and he was at The university Of Western.

956
00:49:28,199 --> 00:49:34,239
Michigan this year after some W ushl, TIME Weshn, michigan

957
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:36,960
in case you hadn't, heard won THE Ncaa championship and

958
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:40,800
he was a huge reason for. That he was everything for.

959
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:42,960
Them he scored twenty six points in forty two. Games

960
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:46,760
but just, big steadying, presence shut down d all situations

961
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,760
kind of. Guy that's what you're getting in Vison. In

962
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,159
AND i do think that the priffs are probably a

963
00:49:52,199 --> 00:49:54,760
little bit better For, chadwick BUT i think Vison in

964
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:56,719
is going to be a better all around. Defenseman so

965
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,639
depends on what you want their security versus maybe some

966
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:03,480
BAD i Think jake McKay probably a good. Comparable you

967
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,480
can think about. That is that someone who you really

968
00:50:05,519 --> 00:50:07,280
want your, league or is he someone who you, stream

969
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:09,679
or is he someone who's really valuable versus someone who

970
00:50:09,679 --> 00:50:12,440
may not have as many periffs but plays more minutes

971
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,000
and has a little bit better chance to have an

972
00:50:15,039 --> 00:50:18,239
impact on your fantasy. Team so that's why we take

973
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,880
looking at the hockey prospect between the, two that's actually almost.

974
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,000
Identical three percent chance of being a, star thirty two

975
00:50:23,039 --> 00:50:25,840
percent chance of being AN. NHLer they look pretty. Similar

976
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:29,119
some other comps For chadwick in the hockey prospecting, model

977
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:33,039
someone Like Jason demers might be a reasonable. Comp he

978
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:36,840
was never all that exciting in, fantasy but definitely played

979
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:40,960
some minutes and had some streaming impact here there in deeper.

980
00:50:41,039 --> 00:50:43,079
Leagues he played in THE, Nhl so you can say

981
00:50:43,079 --> 00:50:46,320
that looking at The jfresh card For Noah, chadwick one

982
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:48,400
percent chance of being a, star forty one percent chance

983
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,679
of being A NHLer Jesse.

984
00:50:52,559 --> 00:50:56,599
Speaker 3: And who's the need to know, Prospect? Victor it needs

985
00:50:56,599 --> 00:50:58,719
to keep your eye on. Prospect beg your pardon to

986
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:00,480
keep your eye on, Prospect. Victor sure.

987
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 2: To keep your eye on Is William villeneuve twenty one

988
00:51:05,519 --> 00:51:07,920
hundred and twenty second overall pick sixty, two one hundred

989
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:11,760
and eighty seven. Pounds he's a right HANDED d and

990
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:15,239
he was. Playing he's played the last several seasons in

991
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,840
THE ahl With. Toronto marley's had back to back twenty

992
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:19,880
five points in fifty four games and this season forty

993
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:24,519
points in fifty five. Games and looking at His Fantasy

994
00:51:24,519 --> 00:51:27,320
Hockey life player, guard there's some incomplete data, here but

995
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:30,800
he didn't really hit block that. Much his shots are

996
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:33,920
decent and he did have a lot of assists compared

997
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:35,400
to the rest of the. League some of his play

998
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:38,119
driving numbers are pretty, good like His, fenwick and then

999
00:51:38,159 --> 00:51:40,679
we're missing data on some of the. Rest he's definitely

1000
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,519
a little bit. Older he's twenty three Now thursdays in THE,

1001
00:51:43,519 --> 00:51:47,679
ahl close to being the getting to THE, nhl but

1002
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,360
also might just be one of those tweener. Guys so

1003
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:54,199
let's hear FROM ourfhl scout what he thinks and.

1004
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:58,599
Speaker 3: OR fhl Scout chris says this skating has improved since

1005
00:51:58,639 --> 00:52:01,079
he was, drafted but he were means a slightly below

1006
00:52:01,119 --> 00:52:04,280
average skater with a choppy. Stride Villano wave is a

1007
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:08,320
below average handler and, distributor opting for short passes or

1008
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:10,559
rifling the puck up the boards in lieu of heading

1009
00:52:10,639 --> 00:52:13,599
up the. Rush struggles to make plays under. Pressure Villano

1010
00:52:13,599 --> 00:52:17,239
wave raised his shot volume significantly this past. Season, however

1011
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:19,840
both his wrist shot and slapper are both average at.

1012
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:23,360
Best he's a meat and potatoes guy who lacks the

1013
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:27,360
imagination and vision of AN nhl defenders sometimes often defers

1014
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:29,760
the teammates and relies on the short pass game to

1015
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:32,440
advance the puck up the. Ice VILLAN. A wave is

1016
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:35,559
diligent in the defensive, zone boxing out opposing forwards in

1017
00:52:35,559 --> 00:52:38,480
front of the. Net he leverages his stick checks, effectively

1018
00:52:38,519 --> 00:52:42,400
but overalls an average. Defender with room to. Improve Villano

1019
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:46,079
wave works hard on the defensive, zone engages, physically won't

1020
00:52:46,119 --> 00:52:48,760
back down in puck, battles lacks the raw tools AND

1021
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,840
iq to probably be an EVERYDAY nhl player at this

1022
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:55,679
stage of his, development more of a seventh DEFENDER ahl,

1023
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:59,440
tweeer could be an injury. Replacement that's the top tier

1024
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,519
outcome That chris is, seen maybe more likely AN ahl,

1025
00:53:02,639 --> 00:53:05,960
journeyman and that's because his tools In HOCKEY iq will

1026
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,159
limit his ability to make the jump to THE nhl

1027
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:12,760
unless there's a significant change in the developmental. Curve and

1028
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:14,840
despite the lack of depth and the leaf, SYSTEM i

1029
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:17,199
don't See villain A. Wave that, Is chris doesn't See

1030
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:20,360
Villain away being anything more than a depth option for.

1031
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:24,559
Them Mason, black THE nhl Rank, king puts it to the,

1032
00:53:24,599 --> 00:53:29,000
Test Villain away Versus Otto salin of THE La kings

1033
00:53:29,159 --> 00:53:31,559
And villain A. Wave when's this one going? Away seventy

1034
00:53:31,599 --> 00:53:34,920
two to twenty eight, Percent, victor this is the. Test

1035
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:36,440
Is villain A wave the man in this?

1036
00:53:36,679 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 2: COMPARISON i probably would Take villeneuve. HERE i think that

1037
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,719
he probably has a little bit more to. Offer he

1038
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:53,559
is a little bit MORE nhl ready As oto selling

1039
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:57,559
just had a FEW hl. Games on the other, Hand

1040
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:02,079
selen has a little bit more or, runway as he's

1041
00:54:02,079 --> 00:54:04,119
a little bit. Younger, actually now THAT i think about,

1042
00:54:04,119 --> 00:54:06,599
It i'm gonna Take selene because he's earlier in the.

1043
00:54:06,639 --> 00:54:09,800
Funnel Ville neuve is farther down the funnel and he's

1044
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:13,159
had three DECENT hl, seasons But i'm not SURE i

1045
00:54:13,199 --> 00:54:16,920
see him jumping up to be anything more than a depth.

1046
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:20,880
Defenseman so there's more uncertainty With, selene BUT i think

1047
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:24,840
THAT i would rather have that as potential breakout or

1048
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:27,000
hidden offense that we didn't know he. Had he also

1049
00:54:27,119 --> 00:54:30,800
just came over From liga and so that is interesting

1050
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:32,679
to see how he can. Do he had a pretty

1051
00:54:32,679 --> 00:54:35,840
decent last season In liga this past, year twenty points

1052
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:38,400
in fifty six, games so maybe he can translate some

1053
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,239
of that to THE. Ahl their hockey prospecting between the

1054
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:44,880
two looks almost. Identical they graduated the model at three

1055
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,199
percent chance of being a, star both this the move

1056
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:50,920
a couple of years ago And selene this. Year some

1057
00:54:51,079 --> 00:54:55,079
of his Numbers sellen for THE fhl player card also

1058
00:54:55,119 --> 00:54:57,119
don't look great in terms of his transition and play,

1059
00:54:57,199 --> 00:54:59,360
driving but some of those were missing from Ville, neuves

1060
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:01,119
so we don't really know how to compare the. Two

1061
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:04,360
if you're looking for some other comparisons for Ville, Neuve

1062
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:08,599
Thomas hickey is maybe someone that fits the, bill not

1063
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:12,719
someone that's super exciting and fantasy and looking at the j,

1064
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:15,320
freshcard Ville neuve three percent chance of being a, star

1065
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:18,320
thirty six percent chance of being AN nhl. Er that's

1066
00:55:18,519 --> 00:55:20,960
pretty similar to The Hockey prospect team, number which is.

1067
00:55:21,039 --> 00:55:24,480
Interesting that's all we have for The Toronto Maple leafs.
