](https://theathletic.com/4553117/2023/06/13/nhl-draft-2023-scouts-executives-reports-observations/) ** Qui est le n° 2 de la WHL ? Je présume que le numéro 1 (Connor Bedard) n’est pas à débattre !** Exécutif 1 : « Danielson. Il a tellement de choses pour lui. C’est un grand patineur, la taille au milieu, il a de l’adresse, un sens du hockey, il joue dans les deux sens. Il pourrait être une meilleure version de patinage d’Anton Lundell. Dépisteur 2 : « Danielson a un chemin facile pour devenir l’un des meilleurs centres à deux trios de la LNH. Il patine très bien, il est intelligent, il compétitionne, il a la taille de la LNH. Les gens dorment sur lui. Exécutif 3 : « Danielson a beaucoup de LNH en lui, une tonne d’avantages entre sa taille, son coup de patin et ses habiletés. Il n’avait pas autant autour de lui que les autres meilleurs gars, mais il aurait marqué beaucoup de points dans une autre équipe. Scout 4: «Je penche Danielson. Il ressemble sans aucun doute à un centre de la LNH, un gars qui va jouer longtemps et être très bon pour vous. Je ne peux pas m’asseoir ici et vous promettre de gros totaux de points, peut-être qu’ils viennent, peut-être pas, mais vous pouvez le choisir et dormir tranquille. Exécutif 5 : « C’est entre Danielson et Honzek pour moi. Je penche Danielson à cause de la position. Les deux ont des corps et des capacités de patinage de la LNH, produisent de l’attaque et sont des gars à double sens.

Solid choice
I am down with this shit. Now do Honzek at 17.
I’m not happy or sad
Just sort of…
*Meh*
YzerGod cooking
W pick
Stevie don’t miss
Is this good? When will Danielson actually play?
I’m huffing copium like a motherfucker
Edit: he compares himself to Cozens. I’ll be over the fucking moon if he comes even remotely close to that.
I’m gonna flesh out my comment. I’m totally okay with this pick. I trust Yzerman and Draper completely and I believe they’re building a team that will dominate come playoff time.
Not knocking the pick, but why wouldn’t we just trade down?
I don’t like this
Disappointed but I have to trust Yzerman
Love a toolsy right shot center. Not sure I take him over Dvorsky or Perreault but hey I trust Stevie.
I am whelmed. Not a bad pick but I wanted Moore.
Not my pick but uhh they’ve drafted well so far under Yzerman so I’ll believe.
Wings need offense. Dude may have some of that but it’s not as proven as some of these guys around him. Not thrilled.
I like it. I don’t know if I would have taken him at 9, but he’s basically Canadian Dvorsky. Great shot, hell to play against, a center, and basically what the team needs. I think he’s our 2C within a year or so, and Kasper is our 3C. That’s not too bad for center depth, in my opinion.
Interesting that he said the best part of his game is skating
Trust the Yzerplan
Tell me how to feel.
I’m meh about it. It’s how I felt about Kasper. I think it’ll work out.
Now make 17 really count
That was a pick out of left field
I feel like I’m a lot higher on the guy than most Red Wings Fans, but if nothing else, picking Danielson here makes me feel a lot better about a potential Debrincat trade. You NEED size and compete, he brings both. If you have it you can afford the luxury of a one timer merchant like Debrincat.
18 and born in 04, that’s what pisses me off
I trust Yzerman with my life.
Last time I said ‘WTF’ with a wings pick it was Moritz Seider. Trust the Yzerplan.
So glad they skipped Dvorsky for the vanilla choice /s
Would have preferred Dvorsky, but I will trust Yzerman. Just hope they go forward again at 17.
Great pick. Gives us center depth and another right-handed prospect. Put Danielson on a better team and he pops off offensively. He has the speed and the shot to be a threat. Let alone his responsible defensive game.
I was a little surprised but we all had this reaction with Seider. Trust Stevie Y. If he likes him then I like him
Passing on Dvorsky for Danielson? I don’t get it but I’ll go with it
Yzerman and his team have been scouting players for tonight for the last couple of years, so stop thinking for even a fraction of a second that you know better.
And this is why I ignore all the mock drafts and other pre-draft speculation. Welcome to Detroit Nate.
Right shot center
Sold
Good sized right handed center who plays a defensively responsible 200 foot game and has untapped offensive potential. I’m totally happy with this pick. We need centers.
He’s right handed. We finally have a right handed center for Faceoffs.
Let’s goo! 🔥
Not my top pick but I’m OK with it. The biggest thing I wanted was a forward who can carry the puck and gain the zone. I think Danielson has a chance at becoming that.
Say what you want about him, but Pronman had him as the 7th best player, comped him to Elias Lindholm, and had this as his scouting report.
Analysis
Danielson is a well-rounded center who has a lot of NHL traits. He’s a big body who skates and competes well, which when combined with his offensive touch, allows him to be effective in a lot of situations. He has an excellent stick, and is able to beat defenders with skill at NHL speeds often. He makes a lot of plays with pace but also shows the vision and shot threat to run a power play off the edge. Danielson is a competitive two-way center who wins a good share of puck battles and can kill penalties. He looks like a potential high-in-the-lineup all-situations center in the NHL.
Also that Athletic is worth it for hockey content.
Two huge defensemen and two two-way centers who are bastards to play against. This is what you want in the playoffs, IMO. If Kasper and Danielson can round out their offensive games, this is a blueprint for lots of success. My excitement for the pick was initially very much on the charts, but I think I see what they are going for.
I’m not overly excited about this pick, but…..the last time the wings actually took the prospect I really wanted at the spot they picked, it was Zadina.
I’ve given up judging these picks based on my feeling.
Glad Steve got his guy and I hope it works out for us.
For anyone wondering Pronman has him as his 7th ranked prospect
Here’s a screen cap of our Danielson pick: [https://streamable.com/3myq5h](https://streamable.com/3myq5h)
Big center with strong traits and a 200 foot game. Maybe not a game breaker but a really solid pick.

Nate Danielson, C, Brandon-WHL
My first comparable for Danielson in this draft process was Dylan Cozens. I’ve since walked that back and changed it to Elias Lindholm just because of the frame differences, but there was a logical reason for that choice.
I saw two right-handed centers who skate and compete well and have good size and played in the WHL and similar statistical profiles in their draft years. Without telling you who’s who, here is the production of Cozens or Danielson in their draft leadup in the WHL.
Player 1:
Draft Year: 68 GP 33 G 78 pts
Draft Year -1: 53 GP 23 G 57 pts
Player 2:
Draft Year: 68 GP 34 G 84 pts
Draft Year -1: 57 GP 22 G 53 pts
Cozens is a little bigger and was a few months younger going into the draft, and has emerged as a young star in the league. I don’t think Danielson will be as good as him. But I don’t think it’s unreasonable to suggest he could become an excellent NHL center and I think knocks on his production are a little over the top. I flat-out disagree with the many assertions I hear that Danielson lacks offense. When I’ve watched him the last two-three years I’ve seen high-end skill and a player who can make skilled plays at pace. I don’t think he’s going to be this massive scorer, but I see good NHL offense to justify a high pick.
I mean can you confidently say any of Yzermans first round picks for the Red Wings have missed yet?
I simply just accept every pick he makes and will express disappointment if there is any after a couple years. I have no disappointments so far.
Note to future me:
In case I was stupid about this pick, haha
But as for the moment. I have no strong feelings one way or another. Was hoping for something outside the realm of safe “defensively responsible, two-way” player, but it is what it is.
Dvorsky and Moore are left handed…we needed right handed. Good pick Stevie Y!
Anyone from Red Deer, AB is ready to fuck.
Gritty net presence.
Him and kasper are going to be annoying af to play against.
