Someone asked me today why I was so low on Casey Mutryn as 30 of 32 Teams interviewed him. That means Scouts have heard he’s an absolutely bracket case and is a negative. Scout will literally try piss off those types of players to see if they can get them angry.
I did some draft research earlier this season for an ongoing project.
Based on what I saw is Ds picked top 10 become NHLers ~87% of the time and Fs ~93%.
Ds hit “star” levels ~34% of the time where Fs ~40%.
Not that different, at least not enough to avoid them altogether.
@firstlineflair@USMNTnuisance no i appreciate it. i love knowing as much as i can about the context of players. Galvas isn't rated on my list but thats because i only go to top 50, so i tend to prioritize first time eligables. He's a guy i have had an eye on for years and certainly respect highly
@firstlineflair@USMNTnuisance (my take is just that im a massive fan of so many czechs and slovaks this year that "so what". even if he doesn't speak english just go draft novotny and goljier and nemec, they'll translate for him)
@firstlineflair@USMNTnuisance im also not sure where it comes from and it doesn't affect my rating of the player at all, i have just heard the rumor from a few people at the combine
@USMNTnuisance Like one of the big rumors is the main reason he has gotten passed over is that he refuses to learn english. Which i understand why you would avoid that, but as someone who has lived abroad for a long time and dedicated years to learning another language...this shit is hard
@whyhockey exactly! the player i have watched by far the most this year is daxon rudolph, and its because every time i see where he is on other peoples list i need to go back and check to make sure im not missing something. I like different opinions because they keep you honest
@Scottos_ meanwhile im the opposite. I think he has one of the highest cellings in the draft, but im not going to pretend a DEFENSEMAN who i have a compilstion folder on my desktop labeled "albert smits netfront forward clips" is a sure thing
@Scottos_ i mean no argument there, i have had my fair share of disagreements with pete's line of thinking. Im more so just making fun of the way your average twitter fan reacts to these kinds of things

@kevoisthegoat@RyanMaScouting i mean the only thing thats going to stop things for him is injuries (i worry about his brain post hockey). But even after an awful injury and developing POTS he came back this year and didn't lose a step. He's at least got a couple more good years left in him
