The over age thing is interesting. I wonder if Dubas and Co. read the studies referenced in the article herman posted in other draft thread, and felt there was some truth to that.

I do quite like the fact they focused on skilled, smart centres and defence. That should basically be the strategy for every draft.

I agree. Centers in junior can always move over and play the wing if needed. Wingers can't just step in as a center if they haven't done it before

Yup, and they're always in demand, which makes them great trade assets, too. You can never have too many guys who can play centre.

Jeff always does the work for me. Click through to see the analytical emphasis the Leafs were angling for. I?d be curious to see some of the picks we bypassed (but that?s not a data table I can snag easily).

Didn't kniw much abiut him until we drafted him but from the highlights, the kid is talented and the youngest kid in the draft seeing hus birthday is in sept. If he turns out to be a player, then moving down to get botg jim and Sandin was worth it. Lets see how he does next year. All in all thi its a crapshoot but I like the Leafs picks. All looj like solid players with a few swing for the fences choices.

Anyone who who saw this coming must be pretty smart and handsome:

Again, if the Leafs go back to a 2015-style of drafting, then a guy like Semyon Der-Arguchintsev seems like somebody they might try to grab in the mid-to-late rounds. Here's a few profiles on him from this week:

https://www.allaboutthejersey.com/2018/6/5/17426782/semyon-der-arguchintsev-2018-nhl-draft-prospect-profile-project-high-end-playmaking-potential-sda

Semyon Der-Arguchintsev is a smaller, playmaking forward currently playing his junior hockey with the OHL?s Peterborough Petes. Der-Arguchintsev was born in Moscow, Russia but has been playing his hockey in Canada since at least the 2014-15 season, coming up through the bantam and midget levels before jumping to CHL major junior in 2016-17. Der-Arguchintsev, who is often referred to as ?SDA? likely due to his mouthful of a name, was born September 15, 2000, which is also known as the cutoff date for the 2018 NHL Draft. That makes Der-Arguchintsev the youngest (or at least tied for the youngest) eligible player likely to be selected in this year?s draft. His Elite Prospects player page has him listed at 5?-10? and 159 pounds, meaning he is definitely on the small side of things.

He seems to be a forgotten talent of this draft class, one who has a much higher ability than what he is given credit for, and could easily end up becoming a big steal for a team willing to bet on the forward's development.

Der-Arguchintsev is a true playmaker. He showcases a great vision of the ice and is constantly seen, with or without possession, looking around and planning ahead to find the best target for his passes, enabling him to set up quick and dangerous scoring chances. He can make one-touch feeds to get the puck through traffic quickly, but is also able to create passing lanes by deceiving defenders just as easily.

Right now, he still needs that space to do his best work. As with almost any draft prospect, SDA needs to gain put on a lot of muscle, the bonus is that he is younger than everyone else, so he?s got more physical maturing to do naturally. His slight frame allows him to be knocked off the puck easily and makes it hard for him to win puck battles along the boards.

You can tell Der-Arguchintsev knows what it will take for him to develop into a professional hockey player. ?You have to learn how to play defence, how to play in the neutral zone and how to play without the puck. Those are all important things. They?re probably more important than putting up points. Yeah, getting points is great but it?s not everything.?

Defensively, Der-Arguchintsev progressed a long way from his rookie campaign. He back checks a lot harder and has learned that there is more to the game than playing with the puck on his stick. He uses his quickness to be disruptive and does a decent enough job of helping his teammates in the defensive zone, despite his size. He finished with one of the better GF%rel on the team this season.
