I think he will wind up going #1, too much uncertainty as to when the Russian will come over. Plus he may not be permitted on flights any time soon :wink:

Lots of good talent in WHL as well, should be fun to watch the next year or so.
Keep an eye out for Canadian Fantilli playing in the USHL, he’s tearing up the USHL and already has a power forward body. Calum Ritchie in the OHL is making hay as well as Yager in the WHL who actually has more points than Bedard, but the one super talent people are talking about now is Dvorsky. Definitely a great draft class for sure. I agree about Michkov, that long term contract he signed is concerning

It has to be concerning to the Chef that so many Canadian kids are looking good for the 2023 draft.


And BTW Shane Wright was lights out at the last U18 championships.

But ole Shaner was struggling before they shut this years WJCs down not to mention he’s been struggling in the OHL this season. It’s concerning but I am hopeful.But I must say, Im near damn ready to give up on Lafrenierre, I was hoping for at least Huberdeau like levels out of him but that now looks like a long shot

Lafreniere just turned 20. Huberdeau went back to Junior for a year, then had two pedestrian seasons. In his 21 turning 22 year old season, he got 54 points. Patience, Grasshopper.

Anyone see Bedards goal he scored today. The kids skill is cheeky

Bedard is catching fire lately. On a torrid scoring pace. The kid has got velvety hands, combined with the opportunistic hunting capabilities of a black panther in the Congo and an intellect that your Jake Virtanen’s has no capability nor capacity nor comprehension to understanding. Do not give this kid an inch, he will steal a mile

Did I tell you I’m drafting him 1st overall in 2023?

Hey Vin Tanner, I’m trying to decide on whether I should call you Dan Tanner (Sagets character in Full House) or Dan Tanna (Robert Urich’s character from Vegas). Preference?

Dan Tanner it is Doc! Thanks! To think of it, Vin is a bit of a Bob Saget type

Bedard with the hattrick last night, the kid is on fire. Look out!! Who drafts him in 2023? Buffalo? Ottawa? Arizona?

Personally I think Michkov who goes first, the next coming out of Russia Hockey but Slovakian Dvorsky is a beaut as well as Canadians Fantilli, Yager and Heigt. Yager is having a very good start in the WHL, much better than Bedard. Fantilli could end up being the best Canadian. Bedard needs to pick it up, he’s stinking it up worst than Cuz’s wooly socks.
