Great pick in Bean, I almost took him at 16 but the age thing was a concern for me. Tons of talent tho, and the 'Yotes of Glendale, Scottsdale, Phoenix, or wherever the Hell can afford to be patient for longer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 With the 21st pick of the HF.net first ever Mock Draft the Carolina Hurricanes select from the Russian Ice Hockey Federation select German Rubtstov. Rubtsov is said to be the most talented prospect in out of Russia. He is being coined as the next Pavel Datsyuk and if it were not for the Russian U18 Meldonium scandal Rubtsov may have even gone in the top 10. Dennis Schellenberg - THW -"Rubtsov is a highly-intelligent two-way center and is probably one of the players with the highest Hockey IQ of the entire draft. He possesses a great vision and can really distribute the puck very well. He seems to always be aware of his line mates and is a great setup guy. Rubtsov makes smart decisions with the puck and barely turns the puck over. He is a calm puck carrier and uses his strong puck-handling skills to dance through the neutral zone with speed. His strides are powerful and he is hard to knock off the puck as he is an excellent puck protector and uses his long reach and body to make it nearly impossible to steal the puck. Although he is not an overly physical player, he is hard to knock off his position and can play with a physical edge if needed. He possesses smooth hands and has a good and accurate shot too. However, he is more of a pass first guy and does not shoot the puck very often. Rubtsov understands the game mentally very well and is a leader on the ice. He is a coach’s dream as he combines work ethic, a strong two-way game and smarts. His backcheck is strong and he is very well aware of his defensive responsibilities. He often uses his stick to interfere passes and is excellent when using his active stick work to steal the puck or cut passing lanes. In the neutral zone, he is a pain to play against as he cuts passing lanes with an effective positioning game and is able to prevent a quick transition game by the opponents. Rubtsov is great in anticipating plays and can be used in all game situations." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJgoal Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 With the 23rd pick in the draft, the Florida Panthers are proud to select Rasmus Asplund, Center, Farjestad, Sweden. The Draft Analyst - March 30, 2016 - "Asplund is quick and shifty, using his speed and turning ability to gain time and space. He has a good touch around the net, positioning his stick in the right place and takes a beating to complete a play. His SHL numbers might not show it, but he’s a very good scorer with a quick, accurate shot. Asplund is strong on the puck and can make plays across the ice or diagonally while traveling at a high rate of speed. His work ethic off the ice is excellent, and it shows — he’s a tenacious forechecker and competes every shift from start to finish. Asplund is far from physical, but his excellent work in the faceoff circle coupled with his smarts makes him a perfect fit for the NHL’s puck-possession game."Ryan Kennedy of The Hockey News - January 26, 2016 - "One of Sweden’s better players at the world juniors, Asplund centered the second line with Alexander Nylander (2016) and Dmytro Timashov (Toronto) on his wings. That unit played more like the first line, leading the Tre Kronor in scoring with 21 points in seven games. Coach Rikard Gronborg loved Asplund’s smarts and all-around game and despite being one of the youngest on the squad, Asplund almost made the team last year. The lessons from his late cut before Toronto were important."Mike Morreale of NHL.com December 24, 2015 - "A smooth skater and excellent competitor, Asplund (5-11, 176) has three goals, five points, and a plus-3 rating while averaging 12:43 of ice time for Farjestad in the Swedish Hockey League. He is considered to be more of a finesse player than an aggressive performer; he has 26 shots on goal and 12 hits in 25 games." The Anaheim Ducks @Lunatic are on the clock.

pilldoc Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 The Dallas Stars with the 25th pick in this year’s draft would like to welcome from the Erie Otters, Alex DeBrincat(RW). The Stars recognize the fact that he is on the smallish end for being a NHL player, but what they can’t deny is his ability. He is truly an offensive sparkplug, DeBrincat is so hard to contain in the offensive end. Blink and he’s behind you, or has positioning over you. He’s so elusive. His shot is probably his biggest weapon in the offensive end. Velocity is good, but it’s the release that’s exceptional — on his stick and off it within a flash. With the way the game is played today, there’s most definitely room for a player like Debrincat (just like Johnny Gaudreau). In both of his first two seasons in the OHL he's racked up over 100 points and scored 50 goals in each one. He's known as a talented sniper and very skilled offensively. Russ Bitely, HockeyProspect.com, on The Pipeline Show: You like the intelligence. He scores those goals simply because he knows where to go on the ice. He reads the play well. Obviously, playing with Strome is an added bonus, and last year with McDavid. But he’s smart. He knows where to go. He’s got that offensive instinct. The downplay on him is he’s 5’7. Is he going to be able to handle the rigours of the pros? What you’d like to see more of — not that he’s a bad skater — but you’d like to see a little more explosiveness just to have that pro-level speed. That isn’t out of the question; he can develop it in the years to come. All in all, DeBrincat also has some of the best hands in the draft as well as being one of the best snipers available. Ryan Kennedy of The Hockey News - Feb 2, 2016 – "At some point, you have to stop believing that DeBrincat has “lucked out” with his linemates and accept that there’s a reason coaches always stick him with top guys. The 5-foot-7 sniper has played with Connor McDavid, Dylan Strome and Auston Matthews and it’s because he can find space, wire the puck and thrive with elite players – not everyone can. DeBrincat is well on his way to another 50-goal season and the 2016 draft prospect is doing so with an entirely different type of center Tyler Parchem of Elite Prospects - 2016 – "DeBrincat is a small player with a dynamic skill set. He is a pure sniper, scoring over 50 goals in two straight years in the OHL. He is very undersized, but can be very nasty to play against and shies away from no one. He had to deal with injuries at the 2016 World Junior Championship, but that did not hamper his production when he returned to the OHL. He skates well and is very effective around the net. He is hard to contain for such a small player, and has great chemistry with anyone he plays with."

yave1964 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 With the 26th pick in the first round the Washington Capitals are thrilled that the gigantic LOGAN STANLEY is still there and has fallen into their lap. Stanley is a 6 foot 7 left defense who is still growing his talent into his frame, With an aging defensive core (mostly Orpik and Niskanen) he will have a few years to develop and then find a job waiting for him with open arms. A work in progress from what I have read, but could be a force at both ends of the ice. The Capitals can afford to be patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilldoc Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 Sorry for the delay. With the 28th pick in the HF.net 2016 Mock Draft, the St. Louis Blues choose from the Gatineau Olympiques, Vitali Abramov (LW/RW). Vitali Abramov may be slightly undersized, but he has great speed and tremendous acceleration, allowing him to blow past opponents on the rush. He also has great agility, allowing him to make quick cuts and beat defenders one-on-one. Add in a strong lower body, and low center of gravity and Abramov has the balance and power to be strong on the puck and to fight through checks. For a 5’9″ player, he is surprisingly good in one-on-one battles along the boards. His skating ability and high end skill suggest a prospect that could develop into a top 6 player who could score a lot of points at the NHL level. He's an extremely good skater with good playmaking skills and an excellent sniper. Abramov was named QMJHL Rookie of the Year after scoring 93 points in 63 games. The Blues are looking to add playmakers at wing position. Abramov could be that player. Adding him to a lineup with Fabbri, Schwartz, and Tarasenko, the Blues would certainly have a lot skill at the wing position. Ryan Kennedy, Hockey News: “Tenacious and talented, Abramov has shown no signs of let-up in his rookie ‘Q’ season. The smallish Russian was the league’s third star of the week with seven points in three games for the playoff-clinching Piques." Future Considerations: "The Russian import is a constant threat offensively and makes some impressive plays due to his high skill level. An explosive, well-timed speed burst or change of pace and shifty agility in his feet as well as creative hands make him a slippery forward to check. A skilled playmaker making seeing-eye passes through the tightest of lanes and in perfect time to his teammates. Will shoot the puck when the opportunity presents itself and usually hits his mark when he does but is a natural playmaker first and foremost. Extremely dynamic top line NHL potential." He is ranked at #23 on Craig Button’s final rankings list. Draft Grade = B- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
