Re: Draft eligible prospects.....Q&A
Tolvanen! Howz a potential 40 guy slip as far as hes expe ted too?? I jus dont get it. Also if I miss nico/nolan- who my aiming for in terms of pure offenive upside...
Re: Draft eligible prospects.....Q&A
What will be the biggest obstacle for Tolvanen to succeed in the NHL?

A couple of those guys will fit the bill. Plus some surprises and later drafted players Im sure.
Re: Draft eligible prospects.....Q&A
You could argue Tolvanen is the purest goal scorer in the draft. His shot is NHL ready, for sure. But it is his awareness and hockey sense in his own end that isn’t great at times. It's his play without the puck that will drop him in the draft. Not to mention his below showing at the WJC, even though many 17 year olds struggle at this tourny. I see him being drafted in the middle of the first. 12-20 ish.
His vision is "ok", not great. Too one dimensional is a term used by many to describe him.
Most likely going to Boston College next year but his rights are owned by Oshawa who are still trying to snag him.
In a sentence. An elite arsenal of shots but the rest of his game may take a while yet to translate to the NHL.
Pure offensive upside?
I'll have a top 10 list for this coming soon.
Re: Draft eligible prospects.....Q&A
Is Makar the real deal or is the hype overblown at this point? I have the 3rd pick in the league in my signature and am planning on taking Middlestadt but should I be considering Makar?

Re: Draft eligible prospects.....Q&A
Is the hype overblown? No, not really. Makar will be a top 7 pick for sure.
But if you are looking to take a defender at #3, I would take Heiskanen over Makar in a heartbeat.
Re: Draft eligible prospects.....Q&A
Who is most likely to do a Tkachuk? I.e. Not the first One or two picks but likely to step straight in and have an impact next season...
Experience is the teacher of all things.
Re: Draft eligible prospects.....Q&A
So hard to predict.
It would have to be a winger.
Maybe someone like Ratcliffe. At 6'6 and 195lbs he has the size to be an NHLer already.
A lot will depend on organizational depth too.
Re: Draft eligible prospects.....Q&A
One more for you:
I'm toying with the idea of moving Buchnevich for a pick in this year's draft. Which guys from this year's class would you think will be a level or two above Buchnevich in the long run?

Re: Draft eligible prospects.....Q&A
Only Glass, Vilardi, Necas or Mittelstadt...........
Don't think I would trade Buchnevich for any other forward in this draft.
But it depends what you think Buchnevich is. I'm pretty high on him. (60-70 point guy upside with minimal risk)
Re: Draft eligible prospects.....Q&A
From what I've read/heard, Heiskanen is going to be a very good NHL Dman, but limited for fantasy. I'd take Makar over Heiskanen without doubt but I wouldn't take either guy in a fantasy draft in the top 6.

Re: Draft eligible prospects.....Q&A
I hope people in my league take Makar and Im able to draft Heiskanen later. I would be doing cartwheels.
Id even argue that Heiskanen is a better puck mover than Makar. He is one of the safest picks in this draft because he barely makes mistakes. High hockey IQ, good with and without the puck, great skating, vision, etc. Calm and poised his (offensive) ceiling is higher with A LOT less risk than Makar.
In fantasy drafts there is no reason why Heiskanen should fall out of the top 6.
Patrick
Hischier
Glass
Vilardi
Mittelstadt
Heiskanen <---- Worst case scenario in fantasy drafts
Necaas
Pettersson
Makar
-----Something like that.
Re: Draft eligible prospects.....Q&A
Makar is much more dynamic offensively than Heiskanen, and this is coming a from a guy who is very high on Miro.. I've got him #2 overall on my board.
But for fantasy purposes, it's Makar by a decent margin.
