2020 NHL Draft

[Highlander]

Glad it wasn't Harvey Weinstein.

Artur Akhtyamov 2.05 GAA .925 SV% in 103 MHL games
                        0.98 GAA .957 SV% in 4 VHL games

Yarosalv Askarov 2.37 GAA .921 SV% in 31 MHL games
                          2.46 GAA .918 SV% in 20 VHL games

Clearly we got the better goaltending prospect

I'm not gonna lie, this is kind of intriguing.

Tretiak would approve this message.

You'll never guess who Akhtyamov's agent is.

Dan Milstein.  What do I win?

A piece of paper that says "good job" on it. I just threw it outside I'm sure the wind will carry it to you soon.

Maybe it's actually Darren Ferris

In terms of the vaguely Jewish names of the night, Zion Nybeck, just picked by Carolina, is a strong showing. Especially as he's 5'6, 182.

His MHL numbers are very good. Better than Samsonov and Sorokin at the same ages. Not quite as good as Shesterkin though. Russian goalies are weird but if you draft one a year for awhile one is bound to turn out good.

That's like my H/W ratio (pear shaped)

He's stuck behind Timur Bilyalov starting for Ak Bars Kazan.  There were reports of the Leafs interested in looking at him as an undrafted free agent goalie (had a 1.45 GAA .943 SV% last year).

ANTON TIME?

 

[herman]

OKAY William Villeneuve instead

 

[L K]

William Villeneuve at 175 pounds 6'1

We drafted a giant

 

[Kin]

All is forgiven Dubas. High scoring QMJHL defenseman. My heavy heart is soothed.

Actually Poirier's teammate too.

 

[bustaheims]

Multiple reports I read talk about him being under-rated, overlooked, etc. Needs to work on his skating, but, otherwise, seems like a solid pick.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Pronman had him ranked 79th. Went 122nd.

I wonder why Future Considerations has him ranked 50 while everyone else is in the 100s

 

[L K]

Villeneuve was the 2nd overall pick in the 2018 QMJHL draft behind Hendrix Lapierre
