fawning deference posted:I'll take my goalie prospect, Arturs Silovs. You're 9 rounds too late for that. I'm taking Pascal Vincent as a head coach. He's bilingual, has two first names, appears on lists of likely future coaches thereby potentially making me look smart one day, and it's slightly funny to raid two coaches from what is likely to remain one of the worst teams in the league.

I think I wound up with a really nice prospect pool. Will Smith is my top of the lineup prospect, Moore and Zellweger are both top 20 prospects in the NHL and would hopefully grab top six/top four spots in time, Dvorsky/Kulich are both probably top 40 and possible NHL regulars, and Wood/Miroschnichenko/Pickering are all potential bubble NHL players or better.

The Barons need to raid some horrible systems and since I just drafted a few guys in Guhle/Holloway who are basically NHL players, I'll take some recent draftees in Mikhail Gulyayev and Otto Stenberg. Gulyayev in particular is an interesting prospect. He lit up the MHL and the NHLe (lol) guys love him, but he is a tiny man. Seems like a Seamus Casey type guy (who I won't spoiler as Weaponx is I think the only person who has yet to take a Devil). Here's Pronman:quote:Analysis: Gulyayev has obvious offensive talents as he has clear NHL skating, hands and vision. Gulyayev is a highly intelligent and creative puck-mover and can make tough plays at a quick pace. He creates a lot of controlled exits and entries, he projects to run power plays at higher levels and be a point producer versus men. Due to his size, how well he’ll defend in the NHL will be a question. I’ve seen worse defenders, and with his great skating he should be able to hold up at higher levels even with his slight frame, but it will be a question he will have to answer repeatedly. I see a regular NHL defenseman who will put up points but may need to be used in a specific manner by his coach.

With their last pick, the Atlanta Thrashers use their “coaches can be anyone” clause to pick Euro coach Rikard Grönborg. I will be burning my New Jersey pick for him cuz gently caress em! I’ll post my team and blab about it at some point.

Alright, I had the choice of Derek Ryan (useful but old as poo poo), Connor Brown (would like him back in TO but probably broken), Warren Foegele (meh), and Mississauga guy Ryan McLeod who's a steadily improving bottom 6 C who PKs well and won't complain too much about being healthy scratched all the time, probably. That leaves Tronna with: Svechnikov-MacKinnon-Tuch Verhaeghe*-Hischier-Terry Tatar-Danault-Johnston* Perfetti*-Backlund-Guenther McLeod* Pettersson-McAvoy Dunn*-Cernak Walman*-Brodie** York-Jensen Evangelista*, Greig, Othmann (AHL); Musty, Reinbacher, Willander, whoever Danny Nelson is (overseas/junior/college) Thompson Hofer Wallstedt Head coach: Pascal Vincent Mascot: Leafy the arena-adjacent property developer * Cherry-approved GTA natives ** I don't think the GTA quite encompasses Chatham ONT yet Good: top 6 scoring, plenty of center depth, lots of early 20s forwards likely to hit their peak soon, cap space, defensive depth (picked a lot of minute-munching analytic darlings, some of whom also score at a surprisingly respectable rates 5v5) Bad: no top-tier starter, possibly too many early 20s forwards battling for not enough bottom-6 ice time, not much depth in puck-moving/PP specialist D, no LHD prospects besides York In retrospect I went earlier than most on D who play D. Not that there's any chance of this happening, but I do wonder what the landscape would be like if the NHL and AHL shrank down to the most competitive and profitable 20ish teams each. It'd make AHL hockey more worth watching, anyway. Too bad North American sports can't handle the concept of relegation.

Hartford Whalers final team: Rantanen - Barzal - EKane Kempe - Eriksson Ek - Mangiapane Barbashev - Pavelski - Cooley Cates - Gourde - Luostarinen Extra: Sheary, Blueger Matheson - Fox Slavin - Marino Severson - Zub Extra: DeMelo Swayman Husso Coach: Babcock Prospects: Smith, Zellweger, Moore, Dvorsky, Kulich, Wood, Pickering, Miroschnichenko Really happy with this team, especially if Cooley pans out to be a star player. Strengths: -- Probably the best defense in this draft, especially since nearly every contract is long-term and team-friendly. Dylan DeMelo as a 7th D is pretty drat good. -- Versatile and balanced forwards. I've drafted lots of guys who can play up and down a lineup and fill different kinds of roles. The intention was to roll four deep lines and I think I havw achieved that. Lots of these guys can also play defense/play physical. -- No declining players really. The only true old player I've got is Pavelski, who is on a one-year deal and just had an incredible season. The only really young player I've got as a regular is Cooley. Everyone else is basically within the "middle of career" age bracket. -- This is a really well-managed cap team, with most contracts either team-friendly or expiring when prospects/young players are expected to step up. Right now, only 3 players make more than $6.25m, and other than Rantanen when he gets a raise in 2 years, nobody is in double digits. -- Babcock, potentially. If he has truly reformed his ways, there's no denying his history as one of the best coaches of all-time in terms of success output. -- Very respectable prospect pool. It's not amazing, but it's very good. Will Smith is a high-end prospect, and I have a handful of potential middle of the lineup guys behind him. Zellweger is a top 10 D prospect. Points taken off for no goalie prospect, but forwards and defense are pretty solid. Weaknesses: -- Top-end scoring. It's weak. Other than Rantanen, I have a deep group of good players, but not much game-break. This team probably won't score a lot. -- Goaltending. I love Swayman but he has not yet played with a true starter workload. Husso I like as a backup/possible starter if Swayman is hurt or falters, but behind those two, I was unable to draft a goalie prospect. I think Swayman/Husso is a good duo in general, but there are question marks. -- Babcock, potentially. He could also be a disaster. I would think this team is a playoff team and contender for years to come, with plenty of cap space to add when needed. If Swayman becomes a true good starter, all the better.

I need a younger prospect from Boston's dreadful system so I'll take whatever a Matthew Poitras is.code:While the team in general is young, I like the core of the system with McTavish/Korchinski/Gauthier/Perreault/Wolf. Perhaps it lacks the franchise top end guy that some other GMs were able to draft, but they all project as potential elite players. Probably the biggest concern is the contract situation of Aho/Guentzel. I've got cap space, but those guys are going to need big contracts (and Seider soon too). e: if anyone wants to finish off consensus, please do

I think the biggest issue for you is goaltending. I love me some Wolf but can he jump right in and be a 1A/1B in the NHL? Can Samsonov stay healthy and put up another good season? I love the forwards -- that top six is demonic to play against and I agree the depth is very good. Your D is solid but not spectacular -- the bottom half of the corps is just okay and Werensky/Pelech need to stay healthy.. I also like your prospects. You're right, there's no franchise player there, but Korchinski and Gauthier are potential top 4 / top 6 mainstays and Perreault is a sleeper. If Wolf becomes a stud goalie in a couple of seasons, you're looking good. So, your coach and your forwards are the strength. Good team that could do some damage, it's just that a handful of things would need to go right for you.

Pelech/Roy/Brodin/Larsson have some of the best defensive impacts of any d-men in the NHL, I think they're quite a bit better than just okay. Actually if you swapped Matheson and Slavin I think my 3-6 compares pretty favorably to yours, although of course Slavin/Fox makes your overall unit better. I do think that Wolf is ready to play 25-35 games based on his last two AHL seasons. The Flames were fools not to play him last year imo. He's at the same point of his development that Matt Murray was at in Pittsburgh:   Hopefully he doesn't destroy his body like Murray, but barring injuries I don't see any way he doesn't become a quality starter within the next 1-2 years. The track record is just too good. T-Bone fucked around with this message at 14:23 on Aug 31, 2023 |

I'm surprised about Brodin and Larsson still having great defensive metrics, so yes that makes your defense better. Not much puck-moving/transition game aside from Werenski still. Wolf playing 25-30 games and being pretty good is certainly possible, but that still puts a lot of responsibility on Samsonov, who is injury-prone and no guarantee to be a good starter.

That's fair, the goaltending could definitely implode and I'd agree that I would have liked one more puck mover in there. I do like the defensive style of the D with those forwards though, I think it could be a good suppression, grinding team. e: it's hard to say with any of these teams since we only have 16 drafters, like pretty much every sans-gimmick team (and even some of those) would easily be the best team in the NHL T-Bone fucked around with this message at 14:30 on Aug 31, 2023 |

I think my forward group is pretty excellent and should be for a long time. Maybe my team would struggle a little bit in its first few years in this theoretical league just because it's so young. But the core looks fantastic. I think my defense is pretty solid too. If I have any weakness (apart from youth) it'd be goaltending. I think Hart's a decent goalie and would do fine on a good team but he's not elite yet and may never be. Kuemper is fine for insurance. Sullivan is of course an excellent coach though I don't know if this is the exact kind of team he prefers. This team has some grinding but has a lot of east-west too so Sullivan might have to adapt to coach it. No idea how my prospect pool would pan out. Some decent talent there but it will be a few years before I know how it all pans out Ginette Reno fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Aug 31, 2023 |
