I still have faith in Podz. He may have been sent down, but the kid is 21. Lets see when he is 24 or a year later.
- VANTEL

If you look down the list of picks from that year, he's still a good pick where they took him as of now. As you said, plenty of time to develop, kid has a good work ethic.

Which means in three years they won't be able to afford them.

I am fine with that. Not a big fan of BPA, as most of those lists are made by analytics people who love small, soft flashy wingers..

Late bloomer who's rapidly improving year to year, bodes well for his development curve.

Same. I still expect him to be a solid middle 6 power winger.

Just for conversation purposes, you know the Coyotes franchise has had 11 picks in the top three rounds of the past two NHL drafts. You have to go all the way back six NHL drafts 2017-2022 to count that many picks in the top three rounds for the Canucks. The more you look at the draft the more you realize how bad the Canucks organization is at utilizing the draft.

2024 the Coyotes have THREE 2nd round picks and FOUR 3rd round picks, man they'd better hit on some of these picks for that brand spankin new arena in Tempe!

Oh sweet they built it already? Oh, no, that's just concept art of a project that hasn't got all the green lights yet and who knows when will actually be finished... good thing the Coyotes aren't even selling out their 5000 seat arena, I'm sure their huge following will flock to the new arena

Sign him cheap long term and watch his blossom at 26 like all power forwards.

Man it would've been nice to finish a few spots lower last year and grab Korchinski or Mintyukov

Would like to see Briesbois for 20 games.
- VANTEL


For some reason, they don't like him, even though Bruce was hoping to see him again. You either have to be small and soft, or a heavy hitter, nothing in between.
Players like Bergeron or Tanev would have never made it with this group.

Why does Van need a late 1st for a 20 year old? @Nucker.

Not that he doesn't look like a good pick up, but why spend a 1st on an over ager? Could probably get him in the 3rd or 4th round.

Or even taken Pickering or Bischel, who needs defensemen, when you have Quinn Hughes?

I wasn't the one suggesting getting an extra 1st to take him, but I wouldn't let him get past the 2nd round.

Americans support a winning team in most major sports leagues. If all this drafting pays off for the Yotes they’re gonna have a heckuva club at some point. When/if they do, people will support them. Unlike Canadian markets you where you get 18,000 people to a crap team 41 games a year, America only cheers for winners.

I think some team will likely draft him in the late 1st/early 2nd. He’s not a typical older draft prospect if you read about his history and how rapidly he’s improving year to year.

He was given a C rating. I'd say that was generous.
