Welcome to Detroit
Looks like he’s a pass first center with a high motor. Some mocks make this look like a reach, also known as a prototypical Yzerman 2nd round pick.
I’m not gonna pretend I know shit about anyone at this point, hope he works out
Teddy Stiga and John Mustard are still on the board
I like that he’s fast
Great pick. Didn’t see this one coming. Plante was a driver for that US team, really stepped his game up this season. Played on almost every line, and was still a productive playmaker.
Draft rankings do not really mater outside the first round and that’s especially the case this year. People want team to take chances and this kid sounds like he has great play making skill potential.
Seeing people with the birth year of 2006 makes me feel *old* lol
Immediately our highest scoring prospect last season, fwiw.
Here are Pronman’s notes: Plante was one of the better forwards for the U.S. NTDP this season. He’s a highly skilled forward who can make a lot of plays, and brings a strong tempo to his game. He is a very creative playmaker with the puck who can create on the move, at the net and from the perimeter. He’s not that big or physical, but Plante gives a good effort and plays with courage. The debate on him will be as a smaller winger if he’s dynamic enough offensively and a natural enough scorer to be an NHL middle-six wing.
I’m a simple man – I see USNTDP and I’m excited.
A lot better than Min Plante
Brayden Point 2.0?
A man can dream
Wheelers profile, number 76: The first time I watched Max Plante play, I was scouting his older brother, Zam, now a Pittsburgh Penguins prospect and then a star at Hermantown High. Immediately, Max stood out even next to his older brother for his dynamic puckhandling ability and hardworking disposition. Where Zam’s game was about smarts, Max’s was all about working to get the puck and then creating with it (his smarts are also a major asset, though, and funnily enough have become more of his calling card in games against international competition or NCAA opponents where his pace can lack). When I was done the viewing on tape, the pair had toyed with the opposition and I texted a Minnesota-area NHL scout to say this: « That Max Plante is a demon. » A year later, he was predictably named to the national program. But there was a hitch: He was really tiny. So even when he made plays in his U17 year, it always seemed to come with a « but. » Now he has grown a couple of inches and the playmaking has continued, still packaged within that hardworking, well-liked character, which is a favorite of coaches and teammates. He has also clearly worked hard to continue to build a sellable identity as an all-around player and worker when he doesn’t have the puck. He supports well, he plays a team game, and then the skill enters the equation when it should — rather than as his only thing. I’m a fan of the skill level but also the way he plays the game, which has an endearing quality to it. His lack of pace does concern me though, as there are times in games where he just can’t beat his guy or get to his spot fast enough. I could see him surprising some people to become a skilled and determined NHLer (there are many who believe Ziemer will get there for similar reasons). I think there’s a good chance he just tops out as a good college player/mid-level pro, too.
Quietly a great pick. Plante is an elite playmaker who was a late riser on draft boards because he was a late riser in height – he grew a couple of inches over the past year or two. Craig Button ranked him 33rd overall on his final board. He fits the Wings mold of hard working and smart, but he averaged an assist per game all year long and had a brilliant world junior tournament while wearing the A for team USA. I’m really excited for this one.
Fuck ya. Next years cup is ours
