Chris Peters (@chrismpeters) on X – Only one player in the last 10 years in the USHL had a higher point total in his draft-eligible season than Matvei Gridin’s 83 this year. That was Matt Coronato who had 85

This isn’t a Mark Jankowski type of reach. This draft is deep in the sense that a lot of players in this 25-50 range are very comparable. People can’t expect elite talent when you’re picking this late in the first round. That’s why it’s important to be picking high not praying that later picks all turn into Gaudreau
Gridin also lead his team in scoring, 15 points higher than Boisvert who Chicago took at 18. Coronato played with Sean Farrell who put up 105 points and Josh Doan who put up 70 in his draft year and was older than Gridin at the time he got drafted.

This guy had more points than multiple players selected before him. Don’t understand the hate. Seems like a solid pick
While that will jump around from season to season based on his performance, it gives you a rough estimate on the kind of performance his last season could indicate.

Conroy wants the Flames to score a fuck ton of goals and I’m ready for it bb.

Big, strong skater, very high hockey IQ. Not mad at it over guys like Basha who was playing alongside McKenna and Lindstrom. Our Russian scout might be on to something with this kid.

Wish the kid had a little more enthusiasm though. Hope it was just shock in a good way. Face read disappointed?

Hate to be that guy, but Coronato hasn’t done anything yet, so this doesn’t really prove anything.

Looking at dobber prospects, his PNHLe is exceptionally high based on his last season: https://dobberprospects.com/player/matvei-gridin/
