Examen du repêchage d’entrée dans la LNH 2022 pour le Seattle Kraken!



Le repêchage 2022 de la LNH était le repêchage de Shane Wright, ou l’avait été jusqu’à ces dernières heures. À la fin, il tombe jusqu’au 4e choix et directement dans les genoux du Seattle Kraken. Le Seattle Kraken a également fait un certain nombre d’autres choix, alors voici un aperçu de chacun d’eux!

  1. I still can't believe Seattle got shane Wright I also can't believe he dropped down to the kraken

  2. Think we might get lucky and get three or four making it to the nhl level out of this class

  3. While not bad #35 pick onwards, was pretty disappointed Sea wasn't much more aggressive trading up in the draft, especially back into the 1 R considering several of names available within reasonable enough trade up cost reach (like Kemell #17 & Miroshnichenko #20, etc), similarly with largely adding undersized prospects (granted seemed a bit bigger portion of potentially better guys were sub 6'0" & sub 180 lbs), not really doing much to address 2nd most important position (to Center) with usually 2nd longest development timeline (goalie being 1st longest) in badly needed potential top 4 caliber D man whether O gifted, 2 way, shut down D or very solid D physical/enforcer types, not really drafting any bit higher risk but with legit high upside O abilities guys (Firkus prob qualifies, but nobody else, plenty of RU who'd fit the bill), and lastly, not taking at least 1 chance on the upside & potential good to great value of RU players this draft… I get there's some significant uncertainty & concerns with geopolitical stuff on top of usual RU factor, but with amount of picks we had and several of opportunities we had, I thought it was a mistake to not take chance on at least 1-2 of the RU players this draft.

    The last gripe I have, is drafting Finnish G N Kokko as high as they did, he seems like an OK G prospect with decent potential and comes from a Finnish org kinda known for goalies, but 2 R was fair bit too high, nobody had him projected higher than 4 Round, many seemed to have him 5 Round or later (even some undrafted) and there were definitely some seemingly better, higher upside potential & talent, intriguing (especially the higher O potential guys) prospects still available when Sea drafted Kokko (whom I have little doubt they could've gotten at #91 3 Round or quite probably even early 4 R around #100)… Which I think would've offered Sea much more upside potential & quality to prospect pool & still gotten "their guy" at Goalie a bit further down.

  4. All teams have their question marks when it comes to draft selections, but I like what SEA has done.

    – Firkus Circus is a first-round talent in my book. Exciting talent prospect but needs to bulk up.

    – Nyman is your typical 2nd round power forward pick. If successful, he'll be a solid top-9 who can use his size and good hands to shield the puck and maintain possession. He also has a great shot. But his floor is not NHL-level.

    – Goyette: think Jeff Carter. Fluid but average skater, good skill level, defence and decision making to improve. Good value choice.

    – Ty Nelson at that spot is a no-brainer. "But he's small" lol, he doesn't shy away from physicality. In fact, he'll have to learn to tone it down sometimes (a bit too impulsive). He also has an appreciable amount of offensive upside to unlock.

    – Tyson Jugnauth is very intriguing one. He's very comfortable in the O-zone – plays possession-based hockey, always looking to make a play, has the patience to do it. Now there is uncertainty due to the low level of competition he has played.

    – Tucker Robertson is a good choice. He doesn't have a lot of upside and lacks creativity – but he has a quick release, good hockey IQ and as a bonus he scored 8 SHG lol. I saw a good comparison for him: Darren Helm.

    – Kyle Jackson is fine too – rewarding him for his season and I guess for being Ty Nelson's teammate lol

    For the other players, I don't have much on (or at least, confident enough to put it out there). I also think there was better players available, but I'm not a scout loll

  5. When I was a kid, they used to call what happened for the Kraken pick "slop luck." I really don't care what it's called. I am just plain delighted. GO KRAKEN!

  6. Great run down, drafts got me excited for the new season shame it's so far off 😮‍💨

  7. Ty Nelson is considered shorter, but I wouldn't consider 198lbs to be small. The kid could easily reach 6'0 and 210lbs. Like people have said, maybe another Ryan Ellis type player.

  8. Yeah I think Wright was passed on because the other teams thought their picks have a better chance to be a superstar (or in the Devils case, really needed defense), but if he's "merely" a really, really good player that would be peachy. I really liked the Ferkus pick as well, and the Kokko goalie actually looks like a worthwhile gamble with all their second rounders, though there were some good defenseman they left hanging that could've been useful considering their forward prospect depth, but still a fun wild draft almost comparable to this year's MLB draft as well.

    Seattle 2026 all-sports championship run hype train here we go.

  9. Getting Shane was great of course, but I really like some of our second and third round selections.: Jagger Firkus, Ty Nelson, David Goyette in particular are going to be awesome additions that look like draft steals in the long run if their development goes well.
