jammer2 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Yep, the jammster took the Nestea plunge and signed up with McKeen's hockey. One of the very best sites on the internet at projecting young future stars. Which means hockeyforums has signed up....lol. They rank each league month by month leading up to the draft. We are gonna get some top notch information here guys. Should be fun to see how who rockets up the charts each month. Here is the November installment for the OHL..... http://www.mckeenshockey.com/prospect-editorials/youngblood-november-ohl-rankings-2015-nhl-draft/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Didn't like seeing Strome so far down but when they explained the 2a,b,c,d thing it made more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilldoc Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Just read through the top 10. Seems to me if the Flyers can just land in top 5 of draft, they will still be able to draft and impact player. Sounds like there are some very talented players here. Like I menitoned above, I'm going to enjoy reading this up to the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 @pilldoc A top 5 pick would likely give us either a great 1-2 punch down the middle (Giroux plus McDavid/Eichel/Strome/Zacha) or another bluechip defenceman (Hanifan/Kylington). Either way it would improve this team huge. Down the road we may end up with a surplus, if we're lucky, at center or D, but considering those two positions are the most valuable commodities in the NHL (never understood how little goalies get valued) thats a great position to be in. Either position could be dealt for that winger we need, and it should be at an upsell (a better winger should carry same value as a slightly lesser C or D.

fishbulb Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 @canuck... I guess I've always rationalized the goalie 'value' thing like this: A 'top' prospect d-man or forward that doesn't quite reach their potential always has the ability to become a more defensive specialist, pk specialist, 3rd liner, or 5/6 dman. A top goalie prospect that doesn't reach their potential usually won't be good enough to stick in the league. There are just more options to 'salvage' value from a dman or forward that doesn't quite pan out... a goalie that doesn't develop is basically a waste of a pick for a team.

flyercanuck Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I agree when it comes to prospects...and I wouldn't waste a 1st round pick on a goalie...they're too hard to evaluate where they'll end up. But even veteran goalies don't carry as much value as a defenceman or a centre. Look at trades, salaries. Rarely is a goalie the teams highest paid player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammer2 Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 For the first time, Scott Wheeler, who writes for McKeen's is releasing his top draft picks for various leagues. He attends home games for Gatineau of the QMJHL and Ottawa 67's of the OHL. http://www.mckeenshockey.com/uncategorized/wheelers-top-60-prospects-ranking-2015-nhl-draft/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammer2 Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Slowly but surely, the draft is starting to become clear. A big part of this is the World Junior Championships. It gives you the ability to cross reference some of the prospects, see them head to head etc. One thing that became clear to me was the wonderful skating and all round vision of American prospect Brandon Carlo. I've seen him ranked from #17 all the way down to #42. If a wicked talent like Carlo is not even listed in the top half of the upcoming draft, well....you can see why they call it one of the best ever. Personally, I think Carlo moves up into 11-15 slots eventually. I was *really* impressed with his play for team USA, ditto for Werenski of Michigan. Maybe I did not watch him carefully enough, but Noah Hanfin just looked "meh"...there was no electric "WOW" factor, which is kinda what I was expecting. I thought Cam Fowler looked much more dynamic during his tourny a few years back, but like I said, maybe I just did not watch him close enough.

hf101 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I wouldn't mind Travis Konecny falling to the Flyers. The speed and a quick wrist shot is something the Flyers need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilldoc Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 yup..I just agreed with you i the other thread. His one goal tonight came off such a quick shot I know the goalie had noo time to react...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Konecny had a great game. He got off to a bad start this year and really fell in the rankings. But he's back to playing well and had a chance to showcase that last night. A little on the small side but highly skilled. Looked like Team Cherry could have used some Mackenzie Blackwood last night.
