Could you do the next one for the penguins? I’d be interested to hear you take on it. Thank you
Great stuff as usual Will!
With the concerns with Crowder the Capitals have the time to let him develop we don't need him right away.
Will you be doing all the teams or just a select few?
I think what's really worked for the Caps is that they realized they have the development staff to get big guys who either struggle skating or struggle to use their bodies and get them to NHL level at both, so they really can just run the board with the skilled big guys like your Protases.
Not to be critical…but I've watched 2 of these…did ANYONE have a bad draft???
Hi Will, it’s now been 2 years since I started doing my own scouting and ranking and I’m kinda getting the hang of it. I had Lakovic and Gastrin at 7 and 26, so I’m really happy about the caps draft. That being said, I was wondering where you were watching prospects games? You can get 2-3 full games of prospects on YouTube, but I’m guessing you have another site to collect more footage. Keep up the good work, you’re the best in the biz!
