comments from real nhl scouts and nhl executives: https://theathletic.com/3363092/2022/06 ... -analysis/

topics include wright vs. slafkovsky, geekie vs. savoie, kemell vs. lekkerimaki, lambert's issues, kasper, nemec vs. jiricek, third defenseman off the board, korchinski vs. mintyukov, bichsel, mateychuk's issues, usndtp, russian players, etc.

Good read. Really hope Gauthier falls. Doubt Nemec or Jiricek do. Kasper, Nazar & Savoie are all probably on the board. Lekkermaki could easily turn out to be similar to Raymond, but not a fan of picking him. Not sold on Geekie, but if the org is, whatever.

Rated 5th best straight line skater in the EP guide
Ranked 4th for "best motor" in the EP guide
I'd waste a 3-4-5 pick on him

He’s in most top 50 lists. If you can get him after the 2nd round you run to the podium.

you never know how the draft's going to play out, but i'd bet on him going in the second round. he's pretty squarely in that 32-44 range for me.

i'm curious how much he would've produced on a team where he wasn't pushed down to the third line.

Yeah definitely would not consider a 3-4-5 a wasted pick on him. If he’s available there it’d be a steal.

McGoarty & Snugggerud ahead of Gauthier?

With his Michigan story he would definitely be the Holland pick.

yeah, probably. Just looked at those rankings, surprised they have him ranked 16th.
