Hoping to have the book available on iTunes by tomorrow as well First of all great job. A lot of good stuff in there. I couldn't disagree more with Podkolzin at #3 though and I don't think that's such a bold proclamation. I think he's going to fall, and not because he's committed to the KHL for two more years, but because there's just not much to get excited about with his game in comparison to the other top forward prospects a la Zegras, Turcotte, Caufield, etc.. Actually, Podkolzin's most standout trait to me, is a Zach Parise-like tenacity. He works hard to get everywhere he's going on ice. It looks like he's going to run out of steam at points but he never does. He doesn't have that effortless glide on the ice though and I don't think he has the same level elite offensive skills as other top prospect forwards either. At quick glance, the other thing I noticed was Tomasino at #13. Very high. Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At quick glance, the other thing I noticed was Tomasino at #13. Very high. Interesting. I love the offensive tools he has in combination with that tenacity, I'm higher on him than most at this point but he has the hands to score highlight reel goals and is willing to drive in on defenders in order to create chances, but I love how he can be dangerous without having to drive the net either since he can score from the outside with his shot. I personally think his production in Russia (or lack thereof) has been overblown considering his lack of ice time in the VHL, but I also can't blame people for dropping him below guys like Turcotte or Byram. This is a strong top 10 and I've really enjoyed seeing the different debates on who everyone values in each spot. I have Pod at #3 on my board, but I realistically have him mocked at 9th to the Ducks. I love the kid, but he's likely gonna fall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't really take much issue if you had him behind a few other guys - as this is a wide open draft with lots of talent. In terms of best player available though, I just can't put him ahead of Turcotte who is pretty close to a full set of tools, Zegras' playmaking capabilities, Caufield, etc...

Neb00rs Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) Looking back at that mock draft above, I think it's crazy to think that Dach falls to 12. Yikes. That'd be a huge steal for the Wild. I'm not that high on him - I think he could go before or after Cozens, Caulfield, Zegras, and Co. but that combination of size and skill... I can't see him falling past 10. I think his floor is 8.

After that it will pivot to who was better for their career. It's not going to end any time soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
