I love these charts and never know where to find them, thanks for posting.
Teach Catton to play defense and he’s a monster. (easy to say I know) I think he would be a legit pick at 5.
Silayev shouldn’t even sniff the top 5 IMO; if he goes 3rd or 4th it would be fantastic.

Confirms my bias towards Lindstrom and Iginla

Considering these charts only, i’d go with lLidstrom or Senneck. I would also be happy with Demidov haha
KantanaBrigantei
Can we pick two of those players?

In order to help a newbie to analytics….can anyone list current players with comparable stats to Demidov/Lindstrom/Sennecke ?
Jpnator
It kinds of defeat the purpose if everyone and there moms are rated 99-100, no ?

Apparently Chicago likes Levshunov and Colombus really likes Iginla. Im not religious but I will pray that Demidov falls to us at 5.
I just hope that they wouldnt pass on another highly skilled russian. Hes the type of elite talent this team needs if they want to take on the next step.
I like pretty much all the prospects at 5 (although Lindstrom worries me), but from the little Ive seen, none of them have the potential to be a 80-100 pts player like Demidov (maybe Catton or Eiserman but I dont really see it). From what Ive seen he is in the same tier as Celebrini.

If all the Off. players they want are gone, will they take a defense (best available player) or take a forward that is listed below?

Like in the movie draft day…
Tij Ignla no matter what. He’s the total package.
Jean_Guy_Rubberboots
I would pick Iginla.
hab27
Should be Demidov, Lindstrom or Dickinson. I’d also accept Parekh and Iginla
Habsrulz
Demdov or iginla
bcgrappler
I can’t see how lindstrom or dimidov are avaliable.
I’m pretty happy with iginla and if the scouts really think someone like senneke is going ro he great, ok.
We NEED more offence, but if the BPA is a defencemen, we should take him. It would allow us to trade another defensemen (like Harris, Barron, or even Mailloux) for a top-6 foward.

Eiserman’s card is ugly.
Prepared to get downvoted for me the order should be Demidov > Iginla > Lindstrom.
Iggy’s game would complement our squad so well and he is going to be just 17 years old on draft day — lots of runway to add to his frame and even grow an inch or 2. If he can get to 6’2″ or even 6’3″ this kid will be an absolute beast.

It’s Lidstrom who has the back issues right? With all our injuries over the last couple of years that might be a no from Hughes.
I’m torn over who to draft but for some reason I lean towards Tig or Beckett.

I would seriously consider trading Matheson to get another high 1st. Hutson could take his spot on the 1st PP this year and he’s a defensive liability and playing at his peak. Then, draft a high ranked FW and D. Coming out of this draft with Iginla and Dickinson.

This is IMO, one of the most tricky draft class in the NHL.
From 2nd to 4th OA, you don’t know whom they’ll be picking.
EdmundGerber
OK – I’ll bite. Given these charts, why does the consensus pick here seem to be for Demidov, and not Lindstrom?
juliusceasarsalads
Sennecke with some impressive numbers here. I’m not quite sold on him yet but I’m getting there. The highlights on him are nasty too
jo_maka
I think the model clearly favors a certain type of player.

That 18 defense for Cole
For me its not Demidov, its Wholedov.

It is always an interesting read though.
