THG the best hockey guy around
Joining my voice, such as it is, to those requesting a video of past comparisons to the stars of today. Who did they compare Ovechkin, Crosby, McDavid, Matthews, et.al. to when they were drafted would be cool.
I didn't comment on the previous video but I enjoyed it! While I disagreed with some of the player comparisons, based on other sources and watching tape myself, it's always fun to hear other peoples' opinions on the draft; presents an opportunity to challenge my own biases.
Would love to get a video about under the radar prospects that you're intrigued by/that you could see becoming favourites if all things pan out ^^
I didn't want to sound critic at your mock.Sorry if you felt that way.Montreal need Star power up front,anyway,to me.
Lots of rumour right now about Mike Matheson in Montreal,if they trade for Necas,it would make sense to draft another D.
If you are drafting position from desperation you are a losing franchise. Winning organizations with history and culture draft BPA. Then they use free agency and farm system to cover “needs.”
My only feedback is that I doubt Iginla lasts long enough to get grabbed by Calgary unless the Flames find a way to move up. If nothing else, Ron Francis/Kraken picks one before them and he's a long-time connoisseur of young up-and-coming centers, but I doubt he's still there when either team picks.
Getting upset over a mock draft is just sad.
Hopefully this redirects some criticism for you:
1.) SJS – Macklin Celebrini
2.) CHI – Artyom Levshunov
3.) ANA – Zeev Buium
4.) CBJ – Cole Eiserman
5.) MTL – Ivan Demidov
6.) UTA – Zayne Parekh
7.) OTT – Sam Dickinson
8.) SEA – Berkly Catton
9.) CGY – Tij Iginla
10.) NJD – Cayden Lindstrom
11.) BUF – Anton Silayev
12.) PHI – Carter Yakemchuck
13.) MIN – Konsta Helenius
14.) SJS – Liam Greentree
15.) DET – Mich. Brandsegg-Nygård
16.) STL – Stian Solberg
I hope Greentree becomes a Lafreniere.
..pre covid viewer supporting T.H.G. and stand on gambling..kudos..but…tedium sets in..but ..thats on me..spelling, pronunciation and other minor glitches……let it go…
hot take: the Hawks will trade down from #2. no idea with who, no idea what the return will be… this is just my personal gut feeling, & it's not exactly something i'm rooting for to happen
reminder that the probability of this actually happening is incredibly slim, but… yeah, just have a nagging feeling
Calgary Flames are a great example of needs changing, two years ago they had a top five d core and now after Hanafin, Tanev and Zadorov are gone you hear how badly they need d prospects.
I hate to make opinionated videos because people seem to believe your opinion of a player or team is fact, and its annoying to deal with
I was SOOOOOOOOOOO very upset that you didn't have the Wild trading up to number 1 to get a center with all that extra collateral that they have sitting around. I expected them top trade Wallerstedt, Gus, Rossi, Faber, and #13 pick for the #1 pick. The trade the #1 pick in for another teams 2,3, and 4 round picks for the next two years. Or some other equally terrible trade move.
The Habs are still not going to draft a D at 5
Literally nobody knows whats going to happen except GMs on draft day. People "complaining" about a mock draft are yelling at clouds.
I enjoyed your draft but you could have made it just a little better by having Yzerman select Eiserman. You were close but… 😉
How dare you go through reports from multiple sources and make your educated opinion about the draft. I have done zero research and I know that your mock draft is complete junk. I can't wait to watch the draft and laugh at how terrible your choice for the Avs at 24 is. My mock draft won't be published because I can't take the criticism yet I can give it to you. I hope the satire of my words comes through the text. THG is great hockey content entertainment. People need to chill.
Shannon, your forgetting they are called MOCK drafts, people are dumb and think it means an invitation to come here and mock you. Not that ever need an invitation, they come anyway like a cockroach.
I enjoyed the video. Those are my favourite types. Just fun debate and comparisons and opinions.
Whenever I see someone draft by position rather then best player available it makes me think of the Canucks taking Olli Juolevi when they could have had Matt Tkachuk.
"people will complain" – a blanket statement for all of the internet
How would you rate the level of draft latent each year with 32 teams?
This draft in particular seems like the hardest one to predict with everything after Celebrini seemingly like a crapshoot. A lot seems to hinge on what direction Chicago goes with their pick as that can set off a chain reaction of picks and it seems to boil down to 2 guys they're choosing between, Demidov or Levshunov, so any mock draft is gonna go in wildly different directions based on what happens with Chicago and you had to pick one. I think they'd lean D this time because next year's draft is thin on D but rich on forwards but also they're probably not too keen to have the core of their offense coming from 2 sub 6 feet tall but I can see why you'd argue they take Demidov.
As a Sharks fan, I'm just blown away you would ASSUME they pick Celebrini at 1st. Wildly baseless claim. (Please give me Celebrini we want this so bad)
I think there's an important distinction in the way Hockey News mag phrases comparables nowadays. They no longer call it comparables, they now call them "best case"s. I have to wonder if Hockey News also took some crap from their own fans for trying to tether a player's upside to the success of a current, established NHLer and the term just might not have sit right.
Lmbo!
Yep you will never win cause couch GM’s (like me) think
They know more than scouts or experts! Yes there are things you say I disagree with but I would never miss judge your dental and work and research.
Mentioned in the video but the 2018 draft talking about Centers going higher than expected was a really good point. Barrett Hayton is fine, but prob not looking like a top 5 pick at this point. And so far he has panned out as the best center at that draft position until you reach down to like Velano at the end of the 1st or Drury in the 2nd. Just doesn't seem like a very good year for Centers. But if those guys just took best player available, there was a string of amazing defenseman in that top 10 range (Quinn Hughes, Dobson, and Bouchard.) Maybe Montreal in that same draft picked Kotkenami over Brady Tkachuk for the same reason.
If people complain with who their team drafts even if they are a highly regarded prospect, there is no way to win with them for mock drafts that don't mean anything. I wish people could just enjoy the speculation!
Mock drafts are unfortunately just dumb and mostly pointless exercises.
I have no complaints about anyone's mock draft… they aren't the actual draft, no need to get upset.
No one has ever had their mock draft survive about the first ten picks… after thirty plus years of drafts… no one knows.
Also, I fully agree, best player available is the best way to draft. You can always trade, and yes, injuries happen.
If Bob McKenzie doesn't get the draft order right. Then there's what actually happens. Does Shannon get the draft order right? As he says. Don't take it seriously. What I think is a good player, others will think different. It's also insanely hard to predict where an 18 year old is going to be 7 years from now.
With centers, there is the thing that you basically have to draft your 1C and 2C.
With D-men, the thing is that you can still draft good ones later in the draft.
With goalies, it feels like you really should draft one in the top 100 every year.
I trust THG's opinion on prospects more than those of some random guy upset in the comments
Keep up the good work. You will never make everyone happy.
People being upset at a MOCK draft is really pathetic! I love to see everyones off the wall takes on the draft that sometimes occasionally happen! Thats what makes it fun!
I remember when the playoffs were no days off on back to back home games and 1 day off when they switched cities (good Ole days )better hockey too
You can’t please all the people all the time, and yesterday all those people were in the comment section.
I did not watch your mock draft episode. That is not meant as a slight on you, as I never read or watch anybody's mock drafts. I guess some people find them entertaining but really, outside of the top 1 or 2 picks, drawing names out of a hat would be just as meaningful. I cannot imagine being upset over someone sharing an opinion.
I don't know what all the belly aching is about. It was a mock draft, performed by a gentleman, for the express purpose of entertainment. It would seem that too many of us fans feel that their team selected the players Shannon assigned. Everybody who got upset should take a step back and get some perspective. Sheesh.
I always appreciate your opinion whether it differs from mine or not. Will be fun to see how your mock draft is compared to the draft itself.
I watched til Detroit. You picked the next forward I had on my list. The only guy you had picked by that point that was lower on my list was Sennecke. I wish I understood what I'm missing with him because you are far from the only one high on him.
I don't understand anyone who would complain about your opinion on something like a Mock Draft. A person can complain about their team picking that person, but not attack you. I love your channel, we don't always agree but I am extremely grateful for the videos you put out. Keep up the great work!
Shannon a Canadian treasure
I don’t watch as often as before… but I couldn’t miss this one
The comment section putting the "mock" into "mock draft". Even for people who spend a great deal of time researching and watching minor league hockey, once drafted they run into injuries, NHL roster logjams, poor development, and life. With drafting a lot of centres, NHL rosters are full of centres who were moved to the wing once they hit the big league.
As always great job Shannon. Keep keeping me in the loop.
Haven't played anything yet but it's THE HOCKEY GUYS MOCK DRAFT, so unless you are The Hockey Guy, you're not relevant!
I get it, and won't get uptight about Shannon's opinion. But with Trevor Connelly's baggage and the Blackhawks' recent scandal, I don't think there's any way in hell that Chicago takes him.
