2020 Draft Discussion

[Da_Hawks]

Shocked to see Pashin last this long.

Why?

Many lists have him going a lot higher.

I've got one guy i'm really targeting with my 132, if not i may deal down/out

[foofnik]

If not for the size i liked him. Hes just too damn short...

Zion nybeck is only what, 1 inch taller and he went in our second round.

Nybeck is gonna be a stud

[kimmer]

nybeck's overall game is much more complete than pashin is, as he's a very effective penalty killer along with his knack for his offence. nybeck is also massive for his height, weighing in at about 180 lbs with a full frame VS pashin's barely 160 lbs
some argue pashin has a lot better offensive instincts and is "more skilled" but as you know it's not all that's required to succeed in the NHL and he will require a lot more development moving forward to be NHL ready

After the first two rounds, I'll take a shot on the more skilled, less developped player more than a physically fit one with decent skill. But that's just my draft strategy. I like the boom or bust prospects. You can't teach skill, and it's easier to put on weight/strength.

Just a comment on the size since that seems the biggest knock on pashin

[Chuck Norris]

I dont like nybeck at all. I think hes a hard bust. Dont think his game translates along with his size.

[kyuss]

Waiting for a PM to get opened, should get a deal done but it’s been a long wait

[kyuss]

anyways, I'm back home now and I've pretty much made up my mind on the pick. Will give it about 15 more minutes for the reply to come and then make the pick otherwise

[thom54]

uhg Raska, was hoping for him later on.

It's more than him just being smallz but rather a combination of him being small and not a very good skater. Have a hard time seeing his game translate without him both getting stronger and improving his skating a lot.

[kyuss]

it's funny that in an argument over Nybeck and Pashin the one that gets criticized for his skating is Pashin

[Bruyns]

I've read plenty that say his skating is dynamic and a strength which obviously is important at that size.

I dont expect Pashin to be amazing but it was worth the risk at pick 122.

[kyuss]

it looks like FC just released their final rankings

i.e. those in the draft guide were not their final rankings lol

Pashin did stay put at #75 though

will that still be the case when we'll get their final final rankings in September?

[Shoalzie]

Yeah, they officially rebranded as FC Hockey.

[Bruyns]

Abruzzese isnt eligible, too old.

[Da_Hawks]

Abruzzese isnt eligible, too old.

I am sure that everyone here was looking at him. Likely will be going high in the waiver draft.

[Shoalzie]

Correct, no prospects playing in North America over the age of 20 can be drafted.

Apologies that the draft rules were deleted. I can re-post them.

Incorrect, dont draft him.

[Matthew]

We can draft anyone born after January 1st 2000
