It's possible he turns into a Buchnevich but I wouldn't say it's the likely outcome imo. But like I said in the video, he strikes me as a player that I could move up that list.
Liam Greentree is a big guy with talent. His skating acceleration can be fixed as he gets stronger. I feel like he's hiding in front of everybody's eyes.
So... is this the TOP 10 Goal scorers list in this draft or is this the top 10 goal scoring forwards ? Cause correct me If I'm wrong but I mean Parekh, Yakemchuk... maybe even Buium shouldn't they be in that convo as well ? Parekh has similar goals & number of games played in the same league as Greentree, on a much better team, yes, even more so when they got Beck, yes again, but still ! He's very impressive in goal scoring for a D kid, stands out like a Hutson in a 2022 draft class ahah
I thought about including Parekh and Yakemchuk but decided to go forward only for a couple reasons. First was that there's only 3 defensemen with 20 goals this season, 2 last season and 3 the season before so it's hard to project any defenseman in any draft as one of those 3 20 goals defensemen. Second was that including those 2 defensemen would've brought the list to 9 players where I already had a full scouting report on. I wanted to put out new content, not just a few clips of new players in the honourable mentions. So while Parekh and Yakemchuk are incredible goal scorers, I didn't think they fitted in the list since goal scoring for defenders doesn't really translate as well as for forwards.
Imo, you are vastly underestimating Greentree. In terms of goal scoring, I obviously disagree or I wouldn't have made the video that way. For now, they belong to the same tier for me. If the video was a top 10 playmaker or top 10 overall player, then yeah, but obviously my ranking would be different. But like I said in the Video, Demidov could very well explode and become a Kaprizov type player but that's a hell of a projection to make. It's much easier to project Greentree into a Sean Monahan type of player.
@@bluechipprospect its about technique, its about versatility of shots, its about versatility of finding open ice space, its about creating space for partners and finding open space immideatly after. Its not a problem of Greentree, its more about how higher Demidov is in different aspects of what is better scoring player will make for being better scorer.
@guadanahocjey7299 I agree that there are a plethora of factors that make players into good goal scorers in the NHL. I also agree that Demidov is a superior in almost every aspect. But one is proving it in the MHL on a top 3 team, the other is proving it in the OHL, on a horrible team. Those are 2 very different level of hockey. Greentree is 6'3" 211 pounds according to central scouting, Demidov is 5'11" 181. Demidov could end up the best offensive player in the entire draft but the list isn't just based on potential. I also take into account the probability of those players reaching those numbers. You might disagree with my ranking but I think it's a very fair projection for the goal scoring part of his game.
Background song is a banger! Would LOVE to see the flames draft Iggy and Poirier. They say they want to instill a new culture and core on the team and bringing an Iginla in, and Jeremie's brother Justin would help with that i believe. But really i will be happy with any pick the flames pick in the top 10 as i see 13-15 players in the draft to be really great prospects! Great Vid as always.
I very much disagree 😆 I had him as a potential top 10 candidate before the season started. I even made a video about it. But now I feel like he doesn't do much on the ice. Like what is his role on an NHL team? He has skills but it doesn't translate into anything. The stats aren't great but it match the eye test in most games that I've watched.
I’d have Dickinson and Levshunov before Reinbacher. But he would be in the convo with Parekh, Buium, Silayev … obviously Parekh and Buium might be better offensively but I don’t think they’ll ever reach the defensive stability he can bring to a defensive lineup. So probably 3rd or 4th.
Reinbacher will likely become a better defensive defenseman than Cale Makar but I would still draft Makar instead. Perekh and Buium could become NHL elite offensive defensemen which is why I would draft them before Reinbacher...but I am no draft scouting expert !!!
what do you think of Calgary taking Iggy if they draft at 8. I'm guessing they would leave a higher skill player but his character and how awesome it would be seems worth it
