Love some of these scouting reports... can play on the 4th line... is a hockey player...

Anyway it seems like he was good in the playoffs but so was Fraser Minten last year and he doesn't seem to have progressed much since then.

I read this is he is scoring now, but likely has to the ability to play a grinding role if/when he is no longer the best player on the ice.

the talent deficit posted:

reinbacher and willander are both overreactions to seider imo. teams can't help but pattern match "unknown euro dman playing against men" onto him. simashev probably too but there's the additional "russian enigma" factor to consider with him

Which would be maybe defensible if Willander had played a single second against pros. He stayed in the Swedish junior league all year so as not to lose his amateur status because he's committed to Boston University next year. He rose from being a second round selection to 11th overall almost entirely on the strength of a good medal round in the u18 worlds which uh is never a good way to draft. Don't draft a guy because he had a good three game stretch. Oh well.

Tell me why Ryan Leonard is a good pick. The draft experts like the pick a lot but I’m reading way too much about how his compete level is his defining characteristic and that makes me a little nervous.

RMNB commenters were describing him as a cross between Wilson and Oshie. Here’s a hype video someone linked.

Yeah I watched this and it made me feel better. Really doubt the dirty dangles translate with NHL-level d-men, but being good at speed on the rush, having a good shot and willing to get into dirty areas and hit people seems Oshie-esque.

It sounds like Ottawa couldn't be convinced to take 17th OA with ASP, Moore, Barlow, Perreault, etc. on the board so I don't know what they're gunning for and I don't know who is going to pay it, but it seems unrealistic.

most junior dangles won't translate but if the hands and smarts are there they'll figure out things that will work at the NHL level eventually

Any draft pick outside the top ten is a dice role that has better odds to be total poo poo than a decent hockey player.
