Post your 2023 Prospect Draft Results Here

[Axeman33]

A few interesting names in there. I mean the notoriety that comes with picking that "off the radar" guy is nice but you're so much less likely to get that right that I don't think it's ever worth the risk.

Who do you see as the "off the radar" guys? Just curious.

I'll go edit the post and bold the ones I thought were interesting, either because I think there was much better value to be had or because the name just never came up in my research (both of those in some cases).

Ahh, gotcha. Ya, those guys are European or College signed players that had to go through our draft first before being able to be signed as FAs.

[Dennis]

All those players are on the older side, and of the 5 bolded, Ottawa and Colorado has 2 each. I'm guessing those teams are in win-now mode and would rather draft 26 year old Smejkal and find out if he's an NHLer this fall instead of grabbing a teenager and not finding that out until years down the road.

[stevegamer]

Placeholder for a cap league that just started drafting. It also allows free agents, butI doubt many would get taken. It's my first draft here, and the team I took over hasn't owned a 1st rounder in a long time.

BOLDED picks are mine.
*** Indicates a NHL player who was a FA that got drafted. I think Kartye was a sneaky good pick.

For those with drafts coming in leagues - this is pretty good resource with different ranks & lists. (not mine).
This is from a site called "Sound of Hockey" - it's nice work... CONSOLIDATED list of others.

(After the draft, thought I'd share as prospect drafts are still going to be highly subject to each individual's opinion. I don't really think there are any well-kept secrets left among upside of 1st round type picks.)

Looking back I also found the 2022 list, which seems to be their first one of these.

Yeah - a lot can be learned from consensus lists.
A big trend I'm finding is that there are a LOT of young hockey prospect rankers that are absolutely ga-ga about anybody that looks "fancy", especially when they are small.
And way too many analysts are North American heavy (esp. Michigan-Ontario corridor heavy).

Last year - all the rage was "Frank Nazar this and Frank Nazar that... and Frank Nazar is a top 10 guy..."
This year - all the rage was "Zach Benson this and Zach Benson that... and Zach Benson is a top 10 guy..."

In the NHL - no, no those guys are not #5-#10 overall picks. I don't see how some (prospect rankers) think that they could be.
(Fantasy hockey is a different thing... and these lists, to my knowledge, are NOT "Fantasy Hockey"-centric.)

That said - some of the lists are CLEARLY better than others.
I'll be showing my age... but the "older guys"... the "hockey guys"... are dominating their evals over the new young folk.

I find it amusing how often a player will get knocked down the ranking because of "skating". That has to be the most coachable deficiency in the sport, any player that's willing can easily improve that. Personally I think Suniev is a sleeper. Everyone ran away from him at the draft table because of "skating".

I would agree with this.
I think prospects have to be able to "skate at the NHL level"... but being an elite or inferior skater... doesn't matter a lot - so long as the player can keep pace.
[To be a superduperstar, you have to be great at everything. To be Connor McDavid-level or Jack Hughes-level... it does help with the high-end skating. But one can still be a "star" without the high-end skating.]

Last year people were all about Frank Nazar... and this year it's all about Oliver Moore.
Sure - fantastic - elite skaters - but you still have to get through neutral zone with puck on your stick - and weave through traffic.
I think these kids have no problem burning USHL/USNTDP-opponents at that level.
But I think it's overrated thought to assume that: "top end" skater = "top end" offensive potential.

Vlad Kolyachonok was seen as one of the most elite skaters among D in the 2019 class.
That's not really enough to make it to the NHL.


And inferior skaters have been fine.
Mattias Maccelli isn't a strong skater - but he has great skill.
Arthur Kaliev fell in the 2019 draft on skating concerns... but I really don't think it has hurt him - he gets around fine in NHL.
Matt Boldy wasn't considered a strong skater going into that 2019 draft either. And he's fine.
