You guys need to learn how to use a list and labels. No one has time for an hour of discussion on completely hypothetical situations ffs.
I hope that before christmas, you will talk about high end prospect, and after christmas you will go more in the other rounds.
Because to always heard about high end prospect all the year long is very annoying.
Weren't the US unbeaten at U18s? I can't remember how the Canadians did…. maybe check notes.
Thank you for the show! As a Finnish hockey fan I´m really excited about our 2024 draft class. I´m totally fine with a weaker Swedish draft class too 😂 It´s still early, but I think we´ll have two Top 10 picks ( Helenius, Kiviharju ) and two later first rounders ( Hemming, Väisänen ) and one of the best goalie prospects ( Vinni ). Tuomas Suoniemi is also a great prospect to have your eyes on. And so are many other Finnish potential 2nd and 3rd round picks. Matt and Peter were supposed to comment Logan´s Top 5, so I wonder why they said absolutely nothing about Konsta Helenius. They didn´t rank him in Top 5 as Logan, but they didn´t think that he was ranked too high either. Can somebody explain that? I guess they both still thought of him as a Top 10 prospect.
haltunen was said to be going in top-10 a year from now, fell to the 2nd round and finland didnt have any 1st rounders. sweden might have one of those years, but a lot of things can change.
I hope the Flyers land a Top3 draft and ideally win the draft lottery for the 1st time in team history as I would love to land Celebrini, Eiserman & Demidov… Actually, i hope it's a Top2 pick because I fear since this is a deep Defensive draft & the fact that they already risked picking Michkov this year, I truly believe the will feel comfortable picking another Russiann player even though hypothetically that Russian line of Michkov & Demidov can be LETHAL!
Celebrini is a better prospect than Fantilli. Celebrini had 46 goals as a 16 year old in the USHL. Fantilli had 17 goals as a 16 year old in the USHL. Fantilli had 37 goals as a 17 year old in the USHL. They have similar offensive skill sets. They are about equal skaters, both being high end. Fantilli may be a tick faster but Celebrini a more fluid skater with better edges. They have equal shots. Celebrini has a higher hockey IQ and is a better playmaker.
Is 24 weaker than 23 and what 25 is expected to be? 🦥
