2020 NHL Draft

[Blob Mckenzie]

Tim Stuetzle over Byfield?

He’s rising SKYO. He’s very good. Some say he is the German Patrick Kane. Some worry that Byfield is the next Hugh Jessiman in the making. I didn’t coin this comparison, I’ve read it a few times

Your post on the morning of June 23, 2017 is almost as hilarious as your post on the 17th six days earlier. A fan of Pettersson my ass. Biggest flip flopper evah... maybe go edit that shit Boss

Listen 12 Step, I was merely responding to SKYO regarding Stutzle surpassing Byfield. I will not involve myself in your tangent.

But only I wanted Glass and Vilardi. You had BOTH ahead of Petterson within 8 hours of the draft

Listen Booze, let’s stay focussed on discussing 2020 draft prospects. Is Byfield the next Jessiman?

I can see why you’d want to change the subject

The kid is a giant and I have seen him make some brilliant plays. Reminds me a little of Joe Thornton in the limited viewing I have had so far. Didn't really watch prospects much this year with the Canucks and/or Comets on tap almost every night...

Bob McKenzie's Final Ranking: Lafreniere the surest thing in most uncertain draft year

https://www.tsn.ca/alexis-lafreniere-to ... -1.1488269

1. Alexis Lafreniere
2. Tim Stuetzle
3. Quinton Byfield
4. Jamie Drysdale
5. Cole Perfetti
————-
6. Lucas Raymond
7. Marco Rossi
8. Jake Sanderson
9. Alexander Holtz
10. Jack Quinn

etc..

No Mike Benning in the top three rounds of Bob's consensus list I see.

Promising news

Don’t forget we got JT Miller with the 2020 1st round pick. All is well.

For sure. We won that trade big time, I'm still looking at that third round slot though, old habits die hard

Probably Kings and Ducks planting smokescreens out there aha.

They probably want the next Kopitar or Getzlaf beast center in Byfield.

Sens got a two chances here at #1, #2, #3 picks thanks to the Erik Karlsson trade getting the Sharks 1st and SJ placed last this season in the West.

What a nice haul they got for EK.
(The Ottawa Senators receive the San Jose Sharks 2020 1st round pick (from 1st overall to 6th overall - waits for draft lotto), 2021 2nd round pick, 2019 2nd round pick (# 44 - Jamieson Rees), Dylan DeMelo, Chris Tierney, Rudolfs Balcers and Joshua Norris for Erik Karlsson and Francis Perron.)
Shit imagine they win both #1 and #2? lol

Yeah no

Bob McKenzies pre-draft lists are probably the most legit lists by any of the media scribes. Bob is in tight with the NHL amateur scouting fraternity. His lists are the result of polling his scouting network unlike other lists like Buttons who are his own.

Also Stutzle has been wow’ing the scouts for awhile now, this isn’t something new. Blobbee seems to think I like to pick on Byfield but Byfield hasn’t been impressing as much as he should be. He was a no show at the WJC’s and other tourneys since while Stutzle has been lights out in the same tourneys

ICYMI Bob McKenzie explains the draft lotto:

NHL Draft Lottery will be on Friday June 26.

The Nos. 1, 2 and 3 picks will be up for grabs.

Fifteen teams — the seven who are no longer playing plus 8 more currently identified as Teams A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H — will be in the lottery.

Same lottery odds as prior years.

Teams A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H will be the eight losing teams from the best-of-five play-in or qualifying round but assigning actual teams to the letters will come in a Phase 2 lottery, to be conducted after the qualifying round but before the playoffs.

But wait there's more!

If the winner of the No. 1 pick draw comes from the bottom 7 seven teams (DET, OTT, SJ (belongs to OTT), LA, ANA, NJ, BUF), that team is awarded No. 1. If the winner of the No. 1 pick draw comes from the other 8 teams, the No. 1 pick will be awarded in the Phase 2 lottery.

If the winner of the No. 2 pick draw comes from the bottom 7 seven teams (DET, OTT, SJ (belongs to OTT), LA, ANA, NJ, BUF), that team is awarded No. 2. If the winner of the No. 2 pick draw comes from the other 8 teams, the No. 2 pick will be awarded in the Phase 2 lottery.

If the winner of the No. 3 pick draw comes from the bottom 7 seven teams (DET, OTT, SJ (belongs to OTT), LA, ANA, NJ, BUF), that team is awarded No. 3. If the winner of the No. 3 pick draw comes from the other 8 teams, the No. 3 pick will be awarded in the Phase 2 lottery.

Once the top three picks have been awarded in Phase 1 or Phase 2, the remaining 12 spots will be assigned to the teams that didn’t win a draw and based on inverse order of their regular season points percentage at the time of the pause.

I don’t know about you SKYO but I’m picking them German Patrick Kane - Stutzle 2nd overall. The Hugh Jessiman comparisons to Byfield’s potential to busting is concerning to say the least

[Blob Mckenzie]

Who made comparisons to Hugh Jessiman other than yourself? Pretty weak comparable imho. One guy was an aggressive ham handed winger who was picked way too high and was 19 when he got drafted to boot. The other guy is a big skilled centre who has been ranked top 3 in his draft for two years and is one of the youngest players in the draft. He was near the top of the scoring race in the OHL.

I actually read it somewhere,

Just rampin’ you up, McKoozlez

I could give 2 shits. I just thought it was a poor comparison.

Stutzle seems pretty electric, had success playing with men in the DEL league, albeit it's in Germany - where they are not really known as a hockey superpower as they have never won a international competition, but got silver in 2018 olympics.

While Byfield is indeed one of the youngest players in the top tier of prospects and the entire 1st round, he's almost a full year younger than Lafreniere and about 6-7 months younger than Stutzle, he's just scraping his potential yet, these next couple years he should dominate more and more.

Quinton Byfield is already 6'4, 214lbs, he just needs to add 15lbs of muscle to get to Lindros height/weight in his prime, he could be the Seth Jones of power centers in 2-3 years.
