Näillä näkymin tuo Byram, Hughes, Kakko, Turcotte -porukka olisi menossa aika varmuudella Draftin TOP4:ssa, joten sen jälkeen pääsemme varailemaan lähes satavarmasti jonkun tästä ryhmästä:
C/RW Dylan Cozens
6'3, shoots Right
C Kirby Dach
6'4, shoots Right
C Trevor Zegras
6'0, shoots Left
RW Vasili Podkolzin
6'1, shoots left
C/LW Peyton Krebs
5'11, shoots Left
Kaikki quotet on https://lastwordonhockey.com/category/nhl-prospects/ sivustolta, johon olen tykästynyt. Tuolla mukavana bonarina aina tuo tyylillinen verrokkipelaaja.
Zegras ja Dach ne ehkä eniten miellyttäisi. Dach rightina enemmän, koska kaikki Detroitin tämän hetken hyökkiprospectit ovat leftejä. Niitä kätisyyksiä on pikkuhiljaa alettava saamaan jostakin. Krebskin kävisi, mutta hänen kohdallaan hyödyttäisi sitten jo treidata alaspäin. Selke-miestä (Cozens) ei tässä tilanteessa tarvita, kun meillä on jo Larkin. Laadukkaat sentterit ajaa wingerien (Podkolzin) edelle tällaisessa tasaisessa tilaneessa.
Ja jos se C Alex Turcotte (5'11, shoots Left) nyt kutoselle tipahtaa, niin siinäkin on toinen Larkin (pelaajatyyppinä). Ei osu oikein tarpeeseen, kun ylivoiman playmaker on se biggest need.
C/RW Dylan Cozens
6'3, shoots Right
Cozens may never challenge for a scoring title, but he will still be able to score enough to be a first line centre. Add in his strong defensive game, and the potential to grow into a Selke calibre centre and he could be a franchise-changing force up the middle. While he has also played the wing in junior (mainly his rookie year), his skating, vision and hockey IQ all suggest his future is at centre. In terms of playing style, he is reminiscent of Ryan Kesler, though this is not a skill-level comparison.
C Kirby Dach
6'4, shoots Right
Dach is close to being NHL ready but might be best off with one more year of junior hockey. There are some improvements that can still be made in terms of adding muscle to his frame, cleaning up his first step and acceleration, and continuing to have confidence in his shot. Those flaws are minor though and should easily be fixed as he matures. Dach could grow to become a top-line NHL centre. His game is reminiscent of Ryan Getzlaf but this is a style comparison only and not one based on talent.
C Trevor Zegras
6'0, shoots Left
Zegras has the potential to be an effective two-way forward in the NHL. He will need some time to develop though. Heading to the NCAA will give him the time to bulk up and get stronger before heading to the pro game. If a team is willing to be patient, they could end up with a very effective player. While he projects as a centre, he has spent time on the wing as well. Zegras’ game is reminiscent of Evgeny Kuznetsov. This is a stylistic comparison though, not one based on talent level.
RW Vasili Podkolzin
6'1, shoots left
Podkolzin is close to being NHL ready but as mentioned above, whatever team drafts him will need to have patience due to his KHL situation. He could be a first line winger in the NHL, using both skill and power to put up points. While this is by no means a talent comparison, his game and style is reminiscent of Rick Nash.
C/LW Peyton Krebs
5'11, shoots Left
Krebs has played both wing and centre at the junior level. With his skating ability, vision, playmaking and defensive ability, he projects well as a centre going to the pro level. The question will be about his strength. Can he add enough muscle to his frame to be able to be effective down low in both ends of the ice? In terms of player comparison, Krebs style is similar to Matthew Barzal, however this is a style comparison only and not one based on skill or ability.
