Athletic paywall, but here is the gist of re-ranking the players drafted in 2023
Pronman can be a hit or a miss for me, but I thought the list was interesting.

Player - 2023 position - redraft position
Bedard (duh) - 1-1
Michkov 7-4
Bonk 22-16
Zavragin 144-63
Sotheran 135-82
Ciernik 120-93
Bjarnson 51-114

Missing Barkey 95, Knuble 103 (the list stops at 123)

All in all, 5 players picked higher than they were and 3 players went lower.
Zavragin obvioulsy the highest riser and Bjarnson the biggest drop. They're both goalies, so a wash?
Don't know much about Sotheran.

Obviously too early to tell, but encouraging for future drafts?

After watching game 2, I think we may need a new back up goalie. Nothing I've seen from this guy screams solid net minder.

No biggie 2nd game after playing the night before we didnt look sharp or didnt look like we wanted to stand up to them physically.

First goal was a fluke actually i thought it shouldve been called no goal.
There was a 5-3 goal
An empty net goal
and a couple where he was just left out to dry.

I dont think he is that bad for a back up goalie. Time will tell.

A recent trade proposal (courtesy of PuckPedia’s PuckGM tool) could bolster the Toronto Maple Leafs blue line by acquiring Rasmus Ristolainen from the Philadelphia Flyers. In exchange, Toronto would send Timothy Liljegren, a former...

Risto looks better than ive seen him since we got him.

This would be great for us!!

Denver Barkey is on the list 95-96

Denver Barkey is on the list 95-96

Sunnuva.... thanks for finding that.
He's slotted right around where he was picked, so that means only 2 players lower.

I think Poehling is better than Cates and should be in the line up.
Couts bumped to 3rd line which is about where he should be.



Tippett-Frost-Michkov
Konecny-Luchanko-Foerster
Laughton-Couturier-Brink
Deslauriers-Cates-Hathaway


York-Sanheim
Johnson-Drysdale
Zamula-Ristolainen
Andrae-Poehling

I agree, poehling is a better player, yet since you have him paired on defense with Andrae, let's see how he does.. The other problem with moving coots is he's not as fast wont keep up with Brink and maybe laughton. Still think it sucks Brinks offense is stuck just on a line with 2 non offensive dudes.
