I love the Red Wings picking Raymond. I was hoping for him or Rossi. I was shocked Rossi and Perfetti fell to 9 and 10 respectively. Sanderson at 5 was kind of surprising as well.
Yea I really just didn’t want them to pick Perfetti, his skating scared me and in a league where skating is becoming even more important it isn’t something to risk. Raymond and Rossi on the other hand are great skaters
Wings Fan here. I thought it was a little sneaky surprise when Drapes said "from Frölunda" and I was floured. This will turn out to be a great player for this organization!!
Sanderson going top be a top 2 shutdown defensemen. Not fun to play against DD. Rossi fell because of size and others were picked because of goal scoring capabilities or defense.... having raymond go #4 changed the dynamic of the draft... was more surprised that Quinn went top 10 and I think the raymond pick is really a reach... Detroit needs D or a C so that was strange... thought drysdale would land their.... also keep in mind that a playmaking center for the past couple of years (unless your mcdavid) kind of are "busts" and dont live up to the hype in the big leagues because your playing against professionals, men, and your life essientlay is on the line... junior hockey is like fun... the nhl is a diffrent animal. I wanted to see the Devils trade down and grab the goalie but I was more surprised that nashville took askarov with saros not showing signs of controlling the #1 spot it makes sense but that's like building your future around your goalie (their going to be on the downfall in a year or 2) so I would of picked up a defensemen or just traded the pick. Nashivile is in a weird spot with cap problems and goalie problems. I think their in alot of trouble next year.... this is what happens when u trade that heart and soul to your team for overrated offensive defensemen (subban Weber)..... I wouldnt say perfetti fell but I didn't like Winnipeg not picking lundell. He will be jordan stall type of player and I dont think the jets need more scoring they need to find the role player. Their also in a weird spot but they have really good goalietending and front office... they do need to address defense and depth over the years they couldnt afford all their great defensemen which is understandable but that's why at drafts u fill in the spots for 3-5 years down the road. I really didnt like the jets pick and I think adding role players are key...
Heck yeah! Now the Rangers got Braden Schneider. He is the type of defenseman that the Rangers desperately needed. Plus, I am pretty sure that the Devils were looking to get him and we snatched him away one pick before their's. So THANKS CALGARY!!!
I am happy with the Hawks getting Lukas Reichel he's good winger. He also, played against the Blackhawks at the beginning of the season when the Hawks started their season in the Europe the Blackhawks and Eisbären Berlin played.
@the machinist because in Germany there is soccer and for a long time nothing else. Hockey is a small sport here. And the German league, DEL, can't even start the season while soccer did 3 weeks ago. Many clubs have major financial issues now. Hard time right now.
Raymond can’t play with the Wings in 20-21 due to his SHL contract and Yzerman said after the draft is that he expects Raymond to play in the SHL this season
That will be perfect for Detroit’s rebuild. Even though he seems NHL ready, he’s going to improve with another season in the SHL getting top line minutes. By the time he comes to Detroit he’s going to be unstoppable. Hopefully we can catch a break in next years defense rich draft.
I don't see any reason in Raymonds development to make him come earlier than 22/23. 9 games in 21/22, sure. But makes no sense to think anyone benefits from putting expectations on him to play a role in NHL that he's hopefullt having this season in SHL with Frolunda. I think Det will be great again but that's 7-9 years from now, if you're impatient you'll just end up like Edm, Fla, Min etc.
I looked him up immediately after the draft, the kids a sniper...he has a wicked shot on the right side. Is he Artemi Panarin? Same mold but not going to say that yet
Fair enough but I think JK not trading down to maximize his assets is just bad management. Heck, even if all he could get is a 5th to drop 10 places, you do it. No one was going to steal that pick.
Franck Bernard the offer has to be there too, it’s not like you can just move it if you feel like it. At that point, if you are that confident about a guy, you may as well guarantee you get him. According to some source( it’s secondhand can’t confirm), JK viewed him as high as a top 10 player. If that’s true, (not saying it is), you would kick yourself possibly missing such a player for a fifth.
I like the Sanderson pick. As a Ottawa fan we have plenty of offensive focused defence, brannstrom chabot Wolanin, now we have the 1 solid shut down defender for the pk and those crucial last few minutes of a close game
Happy the Kings chose Quinton Byfield! Looking forward to who they chose tomorrow! Hoping we get some defensemen with potential. I think we're drafting the star defenseman in 2021.
As a Jets fan, I am over the moon to get Perfetti, and I 100% agree that he's not the 2C solution this year. It will take some time, just like how Scheifele looked like a deer on ice when he played is first hand full of games. From his draft in 2011, it wasn't until the 2015-16 season was where we really started to see they talented player that he was growing into, while building more strength. If I was Perfetti, I'd ask Mark if there's room in his off season training, with Gary Roberts!
Buffalo shocked me as well with selecting Jack Quinn, Columbus also shocked me by selecting Chinakhov. By the way, the only issue with Lucas Raymond and Alexander Holtz is that they both have contracts to remain in Sweden for the 2020-21 season.
They might aswell stay for another year after this one. Then they’ll be able to play the world juniors on home ice and they get even another year to develop. Frölunda is well known for being extremely good at developing players. Erik Karlsson, Dahlin, Klingberg, Lundqvist, Andreas Johnsson, Andersen has all played there and I was just scratching the top
@@dwaynethewokjohnson7773 I have a love hate relationship with Frölunda. Amazing side but they always seem to dominate the champions hockey League and I want more winners for that league. But yeah another season with Frölunda and on their first line. It's a no brainer
Just to explain what Calgary was doing trading down. They likely had 2-3 players let's say Zary, Lapierre and Schneider all very closely ranked (essentailly tied) they talked with the Rangers maybe even asked who they would be taking with their pick and moved down three spots in the hopes that one of those players would be available and picking up a third rounder in the process. When picks 20 and 21 didn't include any of the players in Calgary's group they traded the 22nd pick to drop down to 24 and pick up another third rounder. Calgary likely ended up with the player they wanted or close enough at 19 but managed to pick up two third rounders in the process. Long winded explanation but hope people get the point.
it was a typical NFL move by a shrewd team like the Ravens; doesn't happen as much in other sports but great maneuver by the Flames. Very well explained, Goon.
I think Zary is the worst of the 3. They should’ve taken the first 3rd and then taken the best player. They desperately need a big RW sniper. Foerster was right there.
Sanderson just makes more sense for us as a sens fan, we have defenseman with a lot of upside on the offensive end, plus Jacob Bernard docker happens to be Sandersons d partner currently and we now have both of those prospects
Sanderson is a left shot defenseman. as a sens fan I like this pick and tells me brannstrom is permanently on the right. with brannstrom JBD and Thomson on the right drysdale don't fit on in the lineup. although I like wallander(still available left shot) Sanderson is a solid second par defensiveman. his play style is what Ottawa likes a more well rounded player than the offensive player in drysdale.
I think Sanderson is another player Ottawa needed. A wall of a defenseman who will be a top pairing defenseman with Chabot, so they had to take him over Drysdale with Raymond off the board. To add he already is playing NCAA with Docker and Pinto, so that also could have been enough for the scouts to take a close look at Sanderson, and eventually draft him at 5 with Raymond gone.
Sharks Fan - I’m super happy with our pick. I’ve seen Ozzy play (live) several times, and of course via film, and I think that he is a very solid choice for our organization. A lot of of our fan base thought we would take Noel Gunler at 31, but I think Ozzy is a better fit with the direction that Dougie is going with our forward prospects from this draft. Lots of pieces here to shore up the holes in our less than stellar current pipeline. I’m excited to see Ozzy develop Edit: As a side note, how freaking cool was it to have Alex Trebek announce Ottawa’s pick at the start of the draft, and then have Doug Jr use ASL for our pick to close out the first round.
I don't get why people are surprised with Sanderson. Ottawa has Brannstrom and Chabot already. They don't need Drysdale, they need a D guy like Sanderson. Chris Phillips with talent. Great pick. Also helps he's good friends with current Sens prospects and they'll all be playing together.
For the first 45-60mins I was devastated to not get Asakarov at 13. But after setting feelings aside and looking into Jarvis stats and abilities, he seems like the best fit for the team and definitely the best player available at that position. Excited for his potential! Go Canes Go!
Xerxsion happy not getting Asakarov, and very happy about Jarvis. Won’t be seeing him for awhile needs size and the Rod the bod and Burniston workout regime. As for Asakarov time will tell if he even leaves the KHL. St. Petersburgh owners Gazprom has the deepest pockets in the KHL. I’m quite sure they will be showering him with money to keep him in Russia. GO CANES GO!
I’m a Winterhawks STH so I get to watch Jarvis all the time. He is an amazing kid and his skill is off the chart. Don’t be put off by his size, he is a great fit for Carolina!
Im perssonally not shocked about Sanderson of Drysdale because they do have Chabot and he has a very high offiensive upside while sanderson can be more of the stay at home d man. Kinda like how the Flyers played Provorov and Niskanen together
Sanderson was a good pick for Ottawa and you have to think that he plays for University of North Dakota. People that are unaware is that we have 2 other players that play on that team which are JBD and Shane Pinto. I believe as they were watching their own prospects they saw what this kid can do being i believe the 2nd youngest player on their team. He will be a good reliable stay at home defenseman and doesn't need to be that offensive defenseman. GO SENS GO
I hope not. Another year or 2 if being shit would be very good for the franchise in the long run. Next year should be a Very good year for defensemen. Pick up a guy like Owen powers and then in 2022 go for a high end forward
I love the Justin Barron pick for the Avs, I think he can become a very solid steady defenseman that can chip in offensively. Something we are lacking a little right now
Minnesota has a bunch of prospects now. Potential team for 2021/22 season. Fiala - Rossi - Kaprizov Boldy - Eriksson Ek - Zuccarelo Beckman - Khovanov - Parise Suter - Spurgeon Brodin - Dumba Addison - Soucy Kahkonen And I did not forget about 4th line, you just cant predict it. And we would protect 8 players in expansion draft and loose either Greenway or Kunin
Wow Stützle, Chabot, and Brannstrom driving possession, Sanderson, Greig, and Tkachuk grinding it up. Ottawa is gonna be impossible to play against in the future lol
Treliving could look like a genius after this. Trading down twice to pick up two extra picks only to draft the guy you were going to draft at 19 anyway is next level. That said, it could just as easily blow up in Calgary's face, and there is no way of knowing which it is yet. This is why the draft can be so fun.
as a sens fan Sanderson surprised me (especially with Chabot/Branstrom/Wolanin already Ld) but I was equally perplexed with brady over zadina, pleasantly proved wrong there. hoping for same with Jake.
Going to be fun to see where the top players are in 5 years. As a Swede I’m going say congrats to Detroit and the devils. You’ve got some seriously talented players! Also always cool to see a goalie get picked in the first round.
Funny that Chicago picked Reichel. The Blackhawks played against him and Eisbären Berlin last year in the NHL European tour. Seems like they were impressed
As a CBJ fan, I'm not sure how to feel. Chinakhov put up really good numbers in the MHL and he's had a good start in the KHL, so I think I'll just trust Jarmo on this one.
as a russian, I can say that Chinakhov is doing great at KHL. young kids of his age usually doesn't make it to the KHL unless you name is Kuznetsov or Vasilevksiy. But he made a lot of hype recently, played 21 minutes in a game for a legit contender and was looking awesome.
As an ottawa fan i figure sanderson pick over drysdale is due to chabot. We have the elite offensive upside dman. We dont have a high end defensive monster
Great input on the picks. Can't wait to see which of these players surprises us first. Your thoughts about Chicago is interesting. Ducks Ottawa, Wild did well. Top 2 obvious. Some great names for sure.
I’m not too surprised about Sanderson at #5. Sam Constantino from Sportsnet kept saying that OTT would take him at #5 over on the r/hockey AMA he did a couple of days ago.
Sabres. I would have bet money when 8 came up That Rossi or maybe Perfetti was gonna be announced. Still...Like you said...know one knows anything until several yrs. later with most draft picks.
Sanderson fits the Senator’s team much better than Drysdale would. I see a ton of Sens fans complaining about the pick (I am not one), we do not need any more offensive d-men. Sanderson will provide much needed steadiness on the blue line and let offensive players like Brannstrom develop more.
Well done on that Shakir guy name pronounciation, tatar names are indeed absolutely brutal. Yet what will probably be more important in the future - it's Askárov, with a stress on the second syllable.
These guys are so young. Have to say Buffalo got the guy they needed. A scoring winger than knows how to work. Anaheim had great draft. Rossi and Quinn, well I wonder what their teammates on the 67's are thinking about now.
I'm actually happy to see the Sens take Sanderson. Kind of like the looks of this: Chabot - Bernard-Docker Sanderson - Brannstrom Wolanin - Thomson No complaints from this Sens fan!
Sens fans trust the scouts, a lot of scouts and other draft sites had Sanderson at 5 some at 3. I wouldn't have taken him but we don't watch his games scouts do. They definitely know stuff we don't.
Yep, win for Anaheim getting Drysdale (thank you Ottawa) and Perrault. Number 9 seems to be the sweet spot pick. Last year the Ducks for Trevor Zegras at nine. Another steal at nine in Marco Rossi for the Wild.
After finding out who Yegor Chinakhov is, I'm hyped. The kid absolutely demolished the Russian minors last year, is one of the best forwards on a sketchy Omsk team this year, and isn't afraid to skate through traffic against men. Add that to his wrist shot and hockey IQ both looking excellent, and I can see why Jarmo says CBJ had him as the tenth best player in the draft.
I just watched a few of your old video's about this draft. I have to say you called the ball, first on Sanderson and then on Quinn. You had him at 10 and said Quinn had past Rossi on one of the major scouting services. For as much grief as Buffalo seems to be taking, Quinn caught the eye of the scouts that came to see Rossi.
Chinakhov was eligible for 2019 draft. Not selected. Now he suddenly is 1st rounder. He started the KHL season really well, scored 5 in last 5 games, good skating, great energy, nice shot. Bob Hartley is his coach now and he puts him to the 1st line (some injuries-related). But from nobody to the 1st round in a year (covid one)?! That is really not a compliment for the scouting NHL clubs do on MHL (the youth satellite for KHL).
Chinakov was the most surprising. Jarmo and Ville Siren were very pleased with their pick. Maybe they see a young Panarin. Top 7 were easy but Buffalo surprised me with Quinn too.
Man I trust Jarmo, but that pick was so out of nowhere that I’m slightly questioning it Edit: also apparently one of the NHL’s head scouts had the kid at 28, so not as big of a reach as originally thought.
@@dylanwynkoop4578 Chinakkov grew 2-3 inches in a year. He went from super skilled small kid to a young man in a year with more room for growth, and no doubt the CBJ scouts have done their homework on his personality. CBJ had him in their top 10 in a deep draft year. They must think very highly of his talent level.
I was suprised that rossi and cole was down a bit lower than i thought !! I also think that evan if the nhl 2021 season is crammed or a bit rushed i dont think well get anymore than this season, maybe a 72 gm season !!
Ooh round 1 they absolutely did with Schneider and Lafreniere. I was really hoping he dropped to 28 cause he would have been a real steal that late, but the Rangers definitely did well in Rd1
As a Minnesota fan I vented at my phone screen when NI took Holtz i Was not happy. Then buffalo made a mind boggling choice and Rossi fell into our laps I will take that happily bit of Austrian attacking brings back happy memories. The Columbus pick is a mind boggler but they normally pick well so I'm just going to watch more KHL this year and focus on their pick see how he does
Senators are so set. Such depth on D now. Sanderson is more what they need with Thompson and JBD on the right side. Stuetzle will be on our first line d next season, Sanderson will be on our second pairing in a year from now with JBD. Great draft from the sens
Few things Carolina getting Jarvis is such a W, he’s legit. I’m jealous Montreal got a player I like in Guhle, he’s gonna be a pain in the ass to play against. I like the devils pick of Shakir Mukhamadullin or however you spell it. I’ve noticed he’s had a great start in the KHL as a young dman with big size. Wasn’t shocked he went first round after that start and I’ve read some good things about him since. Jake Sanderson is a REALLY good defenseman, people shouldn’t be too shocked about him. Finally, I’ve noticed more players who play with an edge got taken a bit later within the first round. I have a feeling maybe the bubble playoff hockey played a factor. As the draft went on, less pure skilled players and more chippy two way hockey players started to get taken. Thought that was really cool and maybe those types of players are getting an increase in value.
as a Canes fan, i’m excited for Jarvis. he’s a couple years away from being NHL ready, but he seems like a very creative player who could be fun to watch for a while!
I had no clue who the Devils picked but after reading up on him I didn't hate the pick. He's big and will get bigger and being young and playing in the KHL is impressive. Being young, playing in the KHL, AND putting up points is impressive. Let's hope this is a home run.
K Radz Russian media actually raves about the kid as well. Apparently they’ve been saying he has #1 D upside for a few years now. Obviously no one can guarantee that but with the tools he brings to the table, you never know. I really like what he offers- size, pretty good on breakouts, a hard shot, a little nasty to his game. It’s what you want in a dman, they’re definitely swinging for the fences with this pick That being said, he’s gonna take a little bit of time and the devils can easily afford to stay patient with him. He probably stays in the KHL for next season as well. Can you imagine if he has an unreal season in the khl next year? Start the hype train!
@@centralhockey12 the more I read and watch the more I like the pick. Hopefully the fine folks over there in Russia are right. I'm fine with being patient if he turns into what people say he can.
Love the draft by the Devils. They get two great forward prospects that were pretty safe picks. Then take a long shot at a defenseman that is looking pretty solid. He might be a best in a couple of years.
The kid has 6 points in 14 KHL games, pretty good for 18 years old, not to mention he brings size to a small Devils blueline. I was kind of shocked at first by it, but after doing a little looking into him I don't dislike the pick.
Rakell - Getzlaf - Perrault Jones - Zegras - Silfverberg Milano - Henrique - Heinen Deslaurier - Agozzino - Rowney I'm totally cool with this line up should it happen this season. Excellent draft for the ducks. Maybe Bob Murray hasn't completely lost his way like I, and many other Ducks Fans, have been howling about the past few years lol
I swear to god if BM rushes zegras and Jacob 🤦🏽♂️ We picked up a bunch of old guys for a reason. The prospects need to develop. We don’t want another Fowler situation or a lundestrom situation where they were rushed
My analysis of the draft: - Rangers; great job Lafreniere and Schneider are great picks where they got them. Teams gonna be amazing in 3 years. - Sens: Stutzle great, Sanderson a little risky imo, and a great player in Greig. - Ducks; Great picks as a Kings fan, I’m mad they got Drysdale and Perrault. - Devils; Holtz and Mercer great picks. 3rd pick Shakir is a little risky at 27. - Wild; If Rossi can be what he’s hyped to be.. Minny got the steal. - Jets; Also another great pick. - Preds; I’m surprised they took him. But it does make sense. - Leafs; why? - Kings; My team, I wanted Stutzle but I also like Byfield. If he can be anywhere near his projection (GENO) I’ll shut up about Stutzle.
My dad said that I apparently played in a summer tournament with Perfetti. He was playing a year up during that time. He also told me Perfetti is also a really good lacrosse player (or at least was at the time I don't know if he still plays).
As a German fan I would have loved to see Peterka in Dallas. Would have been good synergy with the Mavs and their tradition of german/european players.
@the machinist Nah, I prefer actually having a German on my favorite team. And no he wasn't drafted, but the chance of the Stars getting him are pretty much non-existent.
I missed the draft yesterday, just checked up on it this morning. But I had a dream that I remembered the draft had happened, so I looked up the results and some Russian I didn't know (Domarov or something) went first overall. And that Lafrenière dropped to 5th to the Calgary Flames. And I was like, "Oh man. Crazy." And then when I woke up I was back in real person land and looked up that Lafrenière was certainly first. :P
As a Devils fan I am plesantly happy with the picks they made, don't know much about Mukhamadullin, but I feel like that was a needed pick as a defenseman and to combat the Rangers picking up Schneider. Ultimately I wanted the Devils to snag Schneider. Stoked for Holtz, he is honestly someone who the Devils need!
I know most draft/prospect videos focus primarily on offense and defense. If I may, an interesting series (at least to me) would be a dive into each teams goalie prospects. I know in Detroit there isn't much that could project to be the next starter at least that I've heard of. Just in case you need more off season content 🤣
Happy with the Devils, got a goal scorer with Holtz who plays wing. 2nd pick Mercer is very good and the 3rd pick was a reach but after the top 3 or 4 D were taken Devils took a big D with a great shot. Devils have no 2nd rd pick so maybe they figured he wasnt going to be on the board by the 3rd rd.
I love the Red Wings picking Raymond. I was hoping for him or Rossi. I was shocked Rossi and Perfetti fell to 9 and 10 respectively. Sanderson at 5 was kind of surprising as well.

Raymond has a ton of upside. He will do great things in this new Red Wings team that Yzerman is building.
I like the Sanderson pick. As a Ottawa fan we have plenty of offensive focused defence, brannstrom chabot Wolanin, now we have the 1 solid shut down defender for the pk and those crucial last few minutes of a close game
Happy the Kings chose Quinton Byfield! Looking forward to who they chose tomorrow! Hoping we get some defensemen with potential. I think we're drafting the star defenseman in 2021.
As a Jets fan, I am over the moon to get Perfetti, and I 100% agree that he's not the 2C solution this year. It will take some time, just like how Scheifele looked like a deer on ice when he played is first hand full of games. From his draft in 2011, it wasn't until the 2015-16 season was where we really started to see they talented player that he was growing into, while building more strength.
If I was Perfetti, I'd ask Mark if there's room in his off season training, with Gary Roberts!
Buffalo shocked me as well with selecting Jack Quinn, Columbus also shocked me by selecting Chinakhov. By the way, the only issue with Lucas Raymond and Alexander Holtz is that they both have contracts to remain in Sweden for the 2020-21 season.
Elias pettersson has entered the chat
That works for Detroit’s rebuilding timeline.
We need another stud D prospect in next years draft.
That’s not a problem they need to develop and that’s a great place to do it
They might aswell stay for another year after this one. Then they’ll be able to play the world juniors on home ice and they get even another year to develop. Frölunda is well known for being extremely good at developing players. Erik Karlsson, Dahlin, Klingberg, Lundqvist, Andreas Johnsson, Andersen has all played there and I was just scratching the top
@@dwaynethewokjohnson7773 I have a love hate relationship with Frölunda. Amazing side but they always seem to dominate the champions hockey League and I want more winners for that league. But yeah another season with Frölunda and on their first line. It's a no brainer
Loving the Bolts strategy here in the first round, really great moves from BriseBois.
Just to explain what Calgary was doing trading down. They likely had 2-3 players let's say Zary, Lapierre and Schneider all very closely ranked (essentailly tied) they talked with the Rangers maybe even asked who they would be taking with their pick and moved down three spots in the hopes that one of those players would be available and picking up a third rounder in the process. When picks 20 and 21 didn't include any of the players in Calgary's group they traded the 22nd pick to drop down to 24 and pick up another third rounder. Calgary likely ended up with the player they wanted or close enough at 19 but managed to pick up two third rounders in the process. Long winded explanation but hope people get the point.
it was a typical NFL move by a shrewd team like the Ravens; doesn't happen as much in other sports but great maneuver by the Flames. Very well explained, Goon.
I think Zary is the worst of the 3. They should’ve taken the first 3rd and then taken the best player. They desperately need a big RW sniper. Foerster was right there.
Sanderson just makes more sense for us as a sens fan, we have defenseman with a lot of upside on the offensive end, plus Jacob Bernard docker happens to be Sandersons d partner currently and we now have both of those prospects
Sanderson is a left shot defenseman. as a sens fan I like this pick and tells me brannstrom is permanently on the right. with brannstrom JBD and Thomson on the right drysdale don't fit on in the lineup. although I like wallander(still available left shot) Sanderson is a solid second par defensiveman. his play style is what Ottawa likes a more well rounded player than the offensive player in drysdale.
Revisiting this video after Neighbours' surge on the Blues this season. Didn't see him becoming this good. THG on point again
I think Sanderson is another player Ottawa needed. A wall of a defenseman who will be a top pairing defenseman with Chabot, so they had to take him over Drysdale with Raymond off the board. To add he already is playing NCAA with Docker and Pinto, so that also could have been enough for the scouts to take a close look at Sanderson, and eventually draft him at 5 with Raymond gone.
THG trending? What a time to be alive
Thank you for your dedication to hockey THG , you are amazing
Sharks Fan - I’m super happy with our pick. I’ve seen Ozzy play (live) several times, and of course via film, and I think that he is a very solid choice for our organization. A lot of of our fan base thought we would take Noel Gunler at 31, but I think Ozzy is a better fit with the direction that Dougie is going with our forward prospects from this draft. Lots of pieces here to shore up the holes in our less than stellar current pipeline. I’m excited to see Ozzy develop
Edit: As a side note, how freaking cool was it to have Alex Trebek announce Ottawa’s pick at the start of the draft, and then have Doug Jr use ASL for our pick to close out the first round.
I don't get why people are surprised with Sanderson. Ottawa has Brannstrom and Chabot already. They don't need Drysdale, they need a D guy like Sanderson. Chris Phillips with talent. Great pick. Also helps he's good friends with current Sens prospects and they'll all be playing together.
Excited to see Bernard-Docker and Jake Sanderson develop together at North Dakota
Rangers killed it. Winnipeg and Minnesota did as well getting great value. Ducks did fantastic as well
Between Jeff Gorton and JD the Ranger brass are looking like geniuses.
For the first 45-60mins I was devastated to not get Asakarov at 13. But after setting feelings aside and looking into Jarvis stats and abilities, he seems like the best fit for the team and definitely the best player available at that position. Excited for his potential! Go Canes Go!
Xerxsion happy not getting Asakarov, and very happy about Jarvis. Won’t be seeing him for awhile needs size and the Rod the bod and Burniston workout regime. As for Asakarov time will tell if he even leaves the KHL. St. Petersburgh owners Gazprom has the deepest pockets in the KHL. I’m quite sure they will be showering him with money to keep him in Russia. GO CANES GO!
I’m a Winterhawks STH so I get to watch Jarvis all the time. He is an amazing kid and his skill is off the chart. Don’t be put off by his size, he is a great fit for Carolina!
Im perssonally not shocked about Sanderson of Drysdale because they do have Chabot and he has a very high offiensive upside while sanderson can be more of the stay at home d man.
Kinda like how the Flyers played Provorov and Niskanen together
Sanderson was a good pick for Ottawa and you have to think that he plays for University of North Dakota. People that are unaware is that we have 2 other players that play on that team which are JBD and Shane Pinto. I believe as they were watching their own prospects they saw what this kid can do being i believe the 2nd youngest player on their team. He will be a good reliable stay at home defenseman and doesn't need to be that offensive defenseman.
GO SENS GO
GO DUCKS!!! Very happy with our first round. If Perreault can bring the compete level, we got quite a steal
Hey man the ducks really had a hell of a draft. Hope you guys make it far this year
I hope not. Another year or 2 if being shit would be very good for the franchise in the long run. Next year should be a Very good year for defensemen. Pick up a guy like Owen powers and then in 2022 go for a high end forward
I love the Justin Barron pick for the Avs, I think he can become a very solid steady defenseman that can chip in offensively. Something we are lacking a little right now
Colorado's top 4 D is shaping up pretty nicely!
Byram Makar
Girard Barron
@@justinshields3819 exactly, honestly if Barron is anywhere near as steady in his zone as erik Johnson is that's a great replacement
Minnesota has a bunch of prospects now.
Potential team for 2021/22 season.
Fiala - Rossi - Kaprizov
Boldy - Eriksson Ek - Zuccarelo
Beckman - Khovanov - Parise
Suter - Spurgeon
Brodin - Dumba
Addison - Soucy
Kahkonen
And I did not forget about 4th line, you just cant predict it. And we would protect 8 players in expansion draft and loose either Greenway or Kunin
You had some foresight on my Blues taking Neighbours well done Shannon
Wow Stützle, Chabot, and Brannstrom driving possession, Sanderson, Greig, and Tkachuk grinding it up. Ottawa is gonna be impossible to play against in the future lol
Sanderson is what Ottawa needs, they dont need offensive backend scoring (drysdale). They have the offence in Chabot.
Drysdale can do both.
@@TheHockeyGuy....Sanderson was the pick to make at 5th that day lol😂
Treliving could look like a genius after this. Trading down twice to pick up two extra picks only to draft the guy you were going to draft at 19 anyway is next level.
That said, it could just as easily blow up in Calgary's face, and there is no way of knowing which it is yet.
This is why the draft can be so fun.
The draft is a gamble we got two more chances for next to nothing
as a sens fan Sanderson surprised me (especially with Chabot/Branstrom/Wolanin already Ld)
but I was equally perplexed with brady over zadina, pleasantly proved wrong there. hoping for same with Jake.
Really like the Ducks 1st round! Looks promising. :)
Going to be fun to see where the top players are in 5 years. As a Swede I’m going say congrats to Detroit and the devils. You’ve got some seriously talented players! Also always cool to see a goalie get picked in the first round.
As someone who was working during I appreciate this breakdown
Barely stalked about Drysdale in Anaheim! With Shattenkirk helping out with Manson, Fowler and Lindholm, the D core in Anaheim is sick
When he changes into a Ducks jersey you know your team did good
Funny that Chicago picked Reichel. The Blackhawks played against him and Eisbären Berlin last year in the NHL European tour.
Seems like they were impressed
As a CBJ fan, I'm not sure how to feel. Chinakhov put up really good numbers in the MHL and he's had a good start in the KHL, so I think I'll just trust Jarmo on this one.
as a russian, I can say that Chinakhov is doing great at KHL. young kids of his age usually doesn't make it to the KHL unless you name is Kuznetsov or Vasilevksiy. But he made a lot of hype recently, played 21 minutes in a game for a legit contender and was looking awesome.
Thanks for the outstanding coverage Shannon, first and only place I’ll go to - wish I could support more.
As an ottawa fan i figure sanderson pick over drysdale is due to chabot. We have the elite offensive upside dman. We dont have a high end defensive monster
Great input on the picks. Can't wait to see which of these players surprises us first. Your thoughts about Chicago is interesting. Ducks Ottawa, Wild did well. Top 2 obvious. Some great names for sure.
As a Sens fans, I'm hoping we take Perterka to start the second. Get some of that IIHF magic with him and Stutzle
It's very possible Detroit take J.J. Perterka. Don't forget we have Seider. It's a shame if we don't draft one of the Germans in this draft.
@@justinshields3819 If Detroit takes Perterka then Ottawa takes Gunler. Both are wins.
Justin Shields whoops
Thought calgary was gonna keep moving down till the second round😂
😂😂
Same
they now have all the draft picks in the 3rd round
@@jeremydanchuk1897 LMAO.....now picking in the 3rd round....Calgary....followed by Calgary aaaand Calgary.
Amazing, we got two third round picks just for moving down 5 spots
I’m not too surprised about Sanderson at #5. Sam Constantino from Sportsnet kept saying that OTT would take him at #5 over on the r/hockey AMA he did a couple of days ago.
What a great draft for Ottawa. Playoff hockey inbound!! Go Sens Go
Sabres. I would have bet money when 8 came up That Rossi or maybe Perfetti was gonna be announced. Still...Like you said...know one knows anything until several yrs. later with most draft picks.
Devils fan here. Love the Holtz pick! Needed a goal scorer.
Good need scoring from the wing. Love the picks for Jersey
Can't wait for Holtz! It sucks he has another year in Sweden cuz of his contract but that just means another year of development
Giantsfan 1986 yeah there’s no rush, it’s a rebuild (again) and I want them to do it correctly this time
Thanks for streaming the draft, as always. It was fun, as it always is. Cheers!
Sanderson fits the Senator’s team much better than Drysdale would. I see a ton of Sens fans complaining about the pick (I am not one), we do not need any more offensive d-men. Sanderson will provide much needed steadiness on the blue line and let offensive players like Brannstrom develop more.
Well done on that Shakir guy name pronounciation, tatar names are indeed absolutely brutal. Yet what will probably be more important in the future - it's Askárov, with a stress on the second syllable.
These guys are so young. Have to say Buffalo got the guy they needed. A scoring winger than knows how to work. Anaheim had great draft. Rossi and Quinn, well I wonder what their teammates on the 67's are thinking about now.
I'm actually happy to see the Sens take Sanderson. Kind of like the looks of this:
Chabot - Bernard-Docker
Sanderson - Brannstrom
Wolanin - Thomson
No complaints from this Sens fan!
Sens fans trust the scouts, a lot of scouts and other draft sites had Sanderson at 5 some at 3. I wouldn't have taken him but we don't watch his games scouts do. They definitely know stuff we don't.
I’ve seen a lot of highlights and plays from Sanderson. He is better than Drysdale
Loser is Pittsburgh. No first round pick and didn’t even make the playoffs.
Good.
MikeVernon Productions Very alright with that. Go habs
@@flatmoontheory Awesome name man 😂
Yep, win for Anaheim getting Drysdale (thank you Ottawa) and Perrault.
Number 9 seems to be the sweet spot pick. Last year the Ducks for Trevor Zegras at nine. Another steal at nine in Marco Rossi for the Wild.
watched the livestream from work so this video really helps clear things up
keep up the good work
Thanks for the stream last night 👌 good coverage as always, over 10k watching are mad good numbers
Great stream, love that it wasn't all about hockey!
Brad treliving killed it for Calgary tonight, knew who he wanted and traded down to get 2 3rds. Great night for the flames
After finding out who Yegor Chinakhov is, I'm hyped. The kid absolutely demolished the Russian minors last year, is one of the best forwards on a sketchy Omsk team this year, and isn't afraid to skate through traffic against men. Add that to his wrist shot and hockey IQ both looking excellent, and I can see why Jarmo says CBJ had him as the tenth best player in the draft.
Happy to see Minnesota finally catching a break. Always get screwed and now get lucky with a #9!
I just watched a few of your old video's about this draft. I have to say you called the ball, first on Sanderson and then on Quinn. You had him at 10 and said Quinn had past Rossi on one of the major scouting services. For as much grief as Buffalo seems to be taking, Quinn caught the eye of the scouts that came to see Rossi.
Chinakhov was eligible for 2019 draft. Not selected. Now he suddenly is 1st rounder. He started the KHL season really well, scored 5 in last 5 games, good skating, great energy, nice shot. Bob Hartley is his coach now and he puts him to the 1st line (some injuries-related). But from nobody to the 1st round in a year (covid one)?! That is really not a compliment for the scouting NHL clubs do on MHL (the youth satellite for KHL).
Chinakov was the most surprising. Jarmo and Ville Siren were very pleased with their pick. Maybe they see a young Panarin. Top 7 were easy but Buffalo surprised me with Quinn too.
Man I trust Jarmo, but that pick was so out of nowhere that I’m slightly questioning it
Edit: also apparently one of the NHL’s head scouts had the kid at 28, so not as big of a reach as originally thought.
@@dylanwynkoop4578 Chinakkov grew 2-3 inches in a year. He went from super skilled small kid to a young man in a year with more room for growth, and no doubt the CBJ scouts have done their homework on his personality. CBJ had him in their top 10 in a deep draft year. They must think very highly of his talent level.
Teigetsu yeah, I’m more confident now that I’ve done more research
I was suprised that rossi and cole was down a bit lower than i thought !! I also think that evan if the nhl 2021 season is crammed or a bit rushed i dont think well get anymore than this season, maybe a 72 gm season !!
Lets be honest the reason the Rangers won the lottery was because they were the only team Shannon thought couldn't get it.
Yeah
I thought it was pretty funny when the rangers slipped between the devils and drafted that player they were hoping for
Ooh round 1 they absolutely did with Schneider and Lafreniere. I was really hoping he dropped to 28 cause he would have been a real steal that late, but the Rangers definitely did well in Rd1
As a Minnesota fan I vented at my phone screen when NI took Holtz i Was not happy.
Then buffalo made a mind boggling choice and Rossi fell into our laps
I will take that happily bit of Austrian attacking brings back happy memories.
The Columbus pick is a mind boggler but they normally pick well so I'm just going to watch more KHL this year and focus on their pick see how he does
The second round looks very promising for Detroit.
Oh yes it does
OMG! Peterka!!?? Slips to 2nd round!!
Peterka or Wallinder
@@ocarinamonkey1708 Why not both?! ...or Torgersson.
NOEL GUNLER
Senators are so set. Such depth on D now. Sanderson is more what they need with Thompson and JBD on the right side. Stuetzle will be on our first line d next season, Sanderson will be on our second pairing in a year from now with JBD. Great draft from the sens
Don't forget the AHL Prospects like Josh Norris and Alex Formenton!
CanadianBad1 Isn’t Stuetzle a fwd 🙄
Few things
Carolina getting Jarvis is such a W, he’s legit.
I’m jealous Montreal got a player I like in Guhle, he’s gonna be a pain in the ass to play against.
I like the devils pick of Shakir Mukhamadullin or however you spell it. I’ve noticed he’s had a great start in the KHL as a young dman with big size. Wasn’t shocked he went first round after that start and I’ve read some good things about him since.
Jake Sanderson is a REALLY good defenseman, people shouldn’t be too shocked about him.
Finally, I’ve noticed more players who play with an edge got taken a bit later within the first round. I have a feeling maybe the bubble playoff hockey played a factor. As the draft went on, less pure skilled players and more chippy two way hockey players started to get taken. Thought that was really cool and maybe those types of players are getting an increase in value.
Zach Hamill go habs. Sounds good. Hope he's good.
as a Canes fan, i’m excited for Jarvis. he’s a couple years away from being NHL ready, but he seems like a very creative player who could be fun to watch for a while!
I had no clue who the Devils picked but after reading up on him I didn't hate the pick. He's big and will get bigger and being young and playing in the KHL is impressive. Being young, playing in the KHL, AND putting up points is impressive. Let's hope this is a home run.
K Radz Russian media actually raves about the kid as well. Apparently they’ve been saying he has #1 D upside for a few years now. Obviously no one can guarantee that but with the tools he brings to the table, you never know. I really like what he offers- size, pretty good on breakouts, a hard shot, a little nasty to his game. It’s what you want in a dman, they’re definitely swinging for the fences with this pick
That being said, he’s gonna take a little bit of time and the devils can easily afford to stay patient with him. He probably stays in the KHL for next season as well. Can you imagine if he has an unreal season in the khl next year? Start the hype train!
@@centralhockey12 the more I read and watch the more I like the pick. Hopefully the fine folks over there in Russia are right. I'm fine with being patient if he turns into what people say he can.
#13 on trending congrats Shannon!
As a sabres fan, I’m devastated that we passed on Rossi & Perfetti 😭 wtf
We got Perfetti (jets fan)🤗
Thank you, Buffalo. Didn’t think Perfetti would drop to ten
Don't worry man, I like perfetti too but quinn should be great
Steven Burness gotta be a thank you to Minnesota for giving away stall
You took jack quinn you better not complain about a thing he is on his way to being a 50 goal a season player would love him to be in Nashville rn.
As a Mn Wild fan, I can say that Rossi was the best possible pick available. I never thought he would fall to us but I’m so incredibly happy..
Sanderson is a great pick for Ottawa
Sharks pick Ozzy Wiesblatt! Look up his family! Awesome story! ❤️

Kartz Stormstool Orca, Ocean, Ozzy, and Oasiz.
@@kartzstormstool861 Nucks fan?
@@swedreamhack5308 no
Love the draft by the Devils. They get two great forward prospects that were pretty safe picks. Then take a long shot at a defenseman that is looking pretty solid. He might be a best in a couple of years.
The kid has 6 points in 14 KHL games, pretty good for 18 years old, not to mention he brings size to a small Devils blueline. I was kind of shocked at first by it, but after doing a little looking into him I don't dislike the pick.
Rakell - Getzlaf - Perrault
Jones - Zegras - Silfverberg
Milano - Henrique - Heinen
Deslaurier - Agozzino - Rowney
I'm totally cool with this line up should it happen this season. Excellent draft for the ducks. Maybe Bob Murray hasn't completely lost his way like I, and many other Ducks Fans, have been howling about the past few years lol
I swear to god if BM rushes zegras and Jacob 🤦🏽♂️ We picked up a bunch of old guys for a reason. The prospects need to develop. We don’t want another Fowler situation or a lundestrom situation where they were rushed
i'm a habs fan can we please make a trade to get Rakell? lol
Well... you got 9 out of 12 correct lol
steel??? terry???
@@retiredcodnerd shoot...totally forgot about comtois, steel, and terry. Now I have no idea how the lines are going to be lol
My analysis of the draft:
- Rangers; great job Lafreniere and Schneider are great picks where they got them. Teams gonna be amazing in 3 years.
- Sens: Stutzle great, Sanderson a little risky imo, and a great player in Greig.
- Ducks; Great picks as a Kings fan, I’m mad they got Drysdale and Perrault.
- Devils; Holtz and Mercer great picks. 3rd pick Shakir is a little risky at 27.
- Wild; If Rossi can be what he’s hyped to be.. Minny got the steal.
- Jets; Also another great pick.
- Preds; I’m surprised they took him. But it does make sense.
- Leafs; why?
- Kings; My team, I wanted Stutzle but I also like Byfield. If he can be anywhere near his projection (GENO) I’ll shut up about Stutzle.
I know nothing about these guys (Except for Laf). I just go ooooooooouuuu i like that NAME haha. Ozzy wiesblatt what a legend :)
dude, excellent job your hockey knowledge is out of this world..."Subscribed"
My dad said that I apparently played in a summer tournament with Perfetti. He was playing a year up during that time. He also told me Perfetti is also a really good lacrosse player (or at least was at the time I don't know if he still plays).
As a German fan I would have loved to see Peterka in Dallas. Would have been good synergy with the Mavs and their tradition of german/european players.
@the machinist Nah, I prefer actually having a German on my favorite team. And no he wasn't drafted, but the chance of the Stars getting him are pretty much non-existent.
I’m very happy with the Flames getting Connor Zary! Also props to tre for getting those 2 3rd round picks too!
I missed the draft yesterday, just checked up on it this morning. But I had a dream that I remembered the draft had happened, so I looked up the results and some Russian I didn't know (Domarov or something) went first overall. And that Lafrenière dropped to 5th to the Calgary Flames. And I was like, "Oh man. Crazy." And then when I woke up I was back in real person land and looked up that Lafrenière was certainly first. :P
Love the pick from NSH. Rinne gets 1-2 years as backup
As a Devils fan I am plesantly happy with the picks they made, don't know much about Mukhamadullin, but I feel like that was a needed pick as a defenseman and to combat the Rangers picking up Schneider. Ultimately I wanted the Devils to snag Schneider. Stoked for Holtz, he is honestly someone who the Devils need!
The commissioner must have been really quite happy about how this draft went, it was the first time he was never booed at the microphone.
Ottawa is going to be scary good in the next few years........
I cannot believe the Leafs had a big, good skating, RHD in their lap and they picked an undersized Russian Winger. I was screaming with rage
I know most draft/prospect videos focus primarily on offense and defense. If I may, an interesting series (at least to me) would be a dive into each teams goalie prospects. I know in Detroit there isn't much that could project to be the next starter at least that I've heard of. Just in case you need more off season content 🤣
Happy with the Devils, got a goal scorer with Holtz who plays wing. 2nd pick Mercer is very good and the 3rd pick was a reach but after the top 3 or 4 D were taken Devils took a big D with a great shot. Devils have no 2nd rd pick so maybe they figured he wasnt going to be on the board by the 3rd rd.
