Thanks for the work you do on these videos. They are some of the best out there in terms of how the commentary and video support each other. Good insights and comparison’s to other prospects.
He will definitely be a dividing line between online scouts. Some have him top 5 (or higher!) who say his off puck and defensive play faults are overblown. I side more with you. It honestly looks like he just doesn't care to do anything but razzle dazzle out there. I'm concerned that if he has a hard time making the offense work, which at this point could be 50/50, he doesn't offer much else. seems like a good, smart kid, hope it works out, but I wouldn't take him earlier than 12-15.
Thanks a lot. I'm supposed to do Buium's video in 2 weeks. I already have a few other reports already made to post before, but Buium's video is going to happen nonetheless.
Excellent, great idea. I notice a lot of prospects rankings have Parekh and Buium in a similar spot or range in the draft. Both seem to have a similar profile. It will be interesting to hear your evaluation of Buium. Merci!
Great video, thanks for doing this. This looks like THE definition of why highlights can't be all that you use when looking at the draft. I'm not some traditionalist that thinks defenseman MUST hit people to make it in the NHL, but the lack of physicality from him combined with him seemingly just never truly applying his stick defensively rings some alarm bells with me. The question for me is does his defense and the way he seems to never really view players using their body as a possibility makes me wonder if there's a compete issue for him, which is truly a red flag if that's the case. Looking forward a lot to the Demidov video
