Thread: Outside the Box Deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rajvinder</b></div><div>One of the great things that Capfriendly did recently was partner with a scouting firm to provide free scouting reports on all players.

Now I'm sure you guys didn't take the time to read the press release but this firm makes millions selling it's scouting reports to NHL teams and offers a more limited free version on this site.

I'd highly encourage you all to navigate to the players names, click their name, and click on their scouting report. It includes amazing things like projecting the role of that player.

If you took the time to use this feature which was inbuilt to raise the quality of discussion on this site instead of people just saying random BS. You'd see that the consensus scout report for Vlasic is that he will be a mid-range 3rd pairing D. The kind of guy you pickup in FA every summer on a League Min deal.

If you looked at Robertson you'd see a higher end 3rd liner as his projections and Timmins is also a higher end 3rd pairing D than Vlasic.

These types of comments from Hawks fans really put this data into perspective: https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/797075</div></div>

lol everyone knows cf has a scouting tool. It wouldve taken you less time to type "I've never watched Alex Vlasic play hockey so I dont know how good he is", since that is clearly the case. Try using some scouting analysis from this season if youre not going to watch the players play https://twitter.com/WallMaz35/status/1749646692033417685

Thread: Mack Celebrini Incoming
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>I would not be opposed to Levshunov, but when I think about who is available and what CHI needs, Demidov and Lindstrom make much more sense. Especially when you consider the depth of RHD in this draft, we should be able to snag a very exciting RD with the TBL pick, another possible 1st if we trade up into the 1st for a third pick, or even with a 2nd round pick. And we still have Murphy for two more years and Jones for 6 more. Crevier has shown flashes and could still turn into a decent third pairing guy, Connor Kelley is having a great senior year and could get an ELC, and Rinzel is looking like the real deal. Plus, we have a few interesting LHD who can play both sides. We don't really need to go out and get a #1D right now. Also, I've watched quite a bit of Levshunov this year, and he is great, but I think there are a lot more holes in his game than his stat line might have us believe. But, again, if they pick him there, I wouldn't be opposed and I totally get it.</div></div>

All good points, I think especially the emergence of Rinzel as a legit guy for both minnesota and usa hockey shows maybe were a bit deeper on RHD than the org would have thought a few months ago. I'd be fine with a high end forward in the top 5 if thats the bpa, Lindstrom and Demidov both look nasty. Should be an interesting draft after Celebrini, its pretty rare theres so little consensus for who should go 2.
