Corey Pronman's Draft Prospect Ranking out there...
Wright losing his grip on 1-OA...now challenged by Miro The Rusaian winger, Cooley gaining traction.
Savoie drop to 8.
Nemec ranked right behind Jiricek, both RhDs.
I probably spelled everyone's name wrong, so sue me, lol.

Now, Draft Class is being rated as average or below average by a couple reports.

Draft Jiricek at 5 if he is there...he would be your future 1st pairing with Dahlin...more stay at home, punishing Defender.

Tank again '22-'23...and draft your 1C.
Kinda of, slightly serious...mostly kidding, no need to go off the rails.

Tank Command will have to be readjusted. Guess will find out how good Ventura and Co. are.

This could be a good study of how global shut downs effect development both physically and mentally for these kids. I think if they get a year of consistency under them they will thrive again, will they ever have it again? How many NHL organizations will be patient enough if at all to provide that?

How does it help prospects who have just endured covid hockey to join an organization trying to lose? I just see a lot of holes in Terry two times plan and Adams ability to execute it.

Can he beat the NCAA all time single season shutout record holders historical season?

Great guy...that NU team was awesome to watch, mostly because of Greg. But also, it was a new sport at NU so the arena was new, you could sit anywhere. One of the few things I miss about my college years. I believe he went the coaching route after a couple of professional hockey attempts.

Guys I see bounce the most are Lambert and Nemec. No one actually knows where to put these guys. Pronman has been low on Savoie like all season.. most agencies have him like top 4, 5.

Trade the late firsts for players to help now.

So many teams are in cap hell currently.

VGK 1st back to them for Theodore
FLA to Tampa for Cernak

Dahlin/Theodore
Power/Cernak
Pysyk/Joker

He just makes it look so easy! Remember last year when he was a super, total, uber, bust status?

Nope, I don't either.

If those are the types of returns you can get for late first, you absolutely do it. For defenseman particularly, I just don't see either team dealing those players for a late 1st. We got Hagg, a 1st and a 2nd for Risto. Both of these guys are significantly better than him. Don't think that's too light? It's my initial impression, but I'll gladly be wrong lol.
