Hello and welcome back to Broad Street
0:03
Hockey as we continue our 25 under 25
0:06
discussion here with some of the most
0:08
under the radar Flyers prospects. Some
0:10
of these guys ranked in the 20s here,
0:12
but maybe should be a bit higher. I am
0:15
Ryan Gilbert joined once again with by
0:17
Steve Jacot and Jacob Russell. How we
0:20
doing today, Steve?
0:22
>> I'm doing well. I'm ready to talk about
0:24
some guys that this is the area of the
0:26
top 25 under 25 that I'm probably the
0:29
least familiar about. So, there's going
0:31
to be a lot of talking out of my ass
0:33
today, but it's going to be good talking
0:34
out of my ass.
0:35
>> Yes.
0:36
>> Well, I mean, I'm not going to sit here
0:38
and act like I'm I'm the prospect guru
0:41
that I once was. I don't watch hockey
0:43
for money anymore, thank god.
0:46
I just do it for fun. So, now now now we
0:49
can just get into these guys and again,
0:51
I think it's weird this year
0:53
specifically because a lot of these guys
0:55
I think we're probably ranked in the
0:57
teens
0:58
on some people's boards
1:00
or or at least closer to the early 20s
1:02
rather than than the back half.
1:04
And it's kind of pick your poison this
1:06
year. I think there's a lot of guys who
1:08
you can look at and and project to be a
1:11
bit better than than their ranking is
1:13
and I think we'll we'll see that when we
1:15
start to go through some of the names
1:16
here.
1:17
These guys are underrated. A lot of them
1:18
have either well, all of them either
1:21
have impressed in in the leagues that
1:24
they've played in or or have some pretty
1:25
good draft pedigree. So,
1:27
it's going to be interesting to see
1:28
where where everyone fits in eventually.
1:31
But for right now, yeah.
1:33
>> They're on the list.
1:35
>> Congrats.
1:35
>> Unfortunately for you, Jacob, compared
1:37
to Steve and myself, I believe you are
1:39
the prospect guru of the three here. So,
1:41
you got to be the uh
1:42
>> No doubt about it in my mind.
1:44
>> The burden is heavy.
1:45
>> Yeah, that's a good bet. If only you
1:47
could bet over there at our friends at
1:49
FanDuel there.
1:50
Uh yeah, starting with two guys two guys
1:53
we've seen articles published on Broad
1:55
Street Hockey.com.
1:57
Breck Liski, second round pick this
2:00
year, played in with the Everett
2:01
Silvertips in the WHL. Saw a big
2:04
improvement in the playoffs. He had 17
2:06
points in 18 playoff games. Played with
2:08
Landon Dupont, the you know, consensus
2:11
first overall pick in 2027 and has been
2:14
for a few years now. Yeah, like like
2:17
Jacob said, you know, a lot of a lot of
2:18
people all over the place here. Kurt
2:20
Adam high at 17. I had him at 19. Left
2:24
off a few ballots there. So, a wide
2:26
range on
2:28
Breck Liski who, like I said in the in
2:30
the honor- honorable mention video, go
2:32
check that one out. I think a bit
2:33
disrespectful for the most most recent
2:35
second round pick to be here at 25.
2:38
>> [laughter]
2:39
>> that's cuz his name is Breck. I mean,
2:40
that's a fake name. Nobody's ever heard
2:42
of the name Breck in their life.
2:44
>> Is he a good skater? Is Breck fast?
2:47
>> I don't know, but from what I've heard
2:50
that Well, isn't the skating the issue
2:52
with him, right? Like what I've heard is
2:55
>> Is that a reference something? I don't
2:56
know.
2:56
>> Breakfast. Breakfast, the the meal.
2:58
Breakfast. Breakfast.
2:59
>> Oh, you mean
3:01
What what did Samor Moran call breakfast
3:03
back in the day?
3:04
>> Break- breakfast lunch. Breakfast lunch.
3:05
>> Breakfast lunch.
3:06
Breakfast lunch Liski. But
3:09
So, Breck Liski, right? I'm I'm going
3:11
back to my notes from when I recorded
3:13
right after the draft and looking at
3:15
stuff from Elite Prospects and our own
3:17
Matty Campbell. But what my takeaway is
3:20
with Liski is this is a versatile guy
3:22
with a well-rounded game here. This is a
3:24
guy who's just kind of a an all around
3:26
like you can really see him as a future
3:27
potential second pair defenseman. Just
3:30
one of those guys like any team is happy
3:32
to have a real just like kind of utility
3:35
knife over on defense.
3:38
>> Yeah, and and to me when they drafted
3:40
him,
3:42
not the sexiest pick in the world by any
3:43
means, but the Flyers seem to have this
3:46
penchant going back to Cam York, going
3:49
back to Oliver Bonk.
3:51
Those guys are a lot more high profile
3:53
than than Lischynski, but
3:55
they are like like Steve said, the
3:57
prototypical second pair guy. Do a
3:58
little every little bit of everything,
4:00
has a little bit offense, but not much
4:02
to be considered like an offensive
4:04
defenseman, but he can move the puck.
4:05
Like Lischynski can skate it, he can
4:07
take it, you know, up and down the ice.
4:09
He's
4:10
He makes good decisions. He's a smart
4:12
player.
4:13
But again, you know, that one specific
4:17
tool that stands out to you not really
4:19
there. And it's tough for some of these
4:21
guys playing in in the WHL, the CHL in
4:24
general now, especially as the league's
4:26
gotten watered down a little bit.
4:28
You don't know, it's hard to parse
4:30
through who
4:32
who of those guys are going to take the
4:33
next step in general because they really
4:35
just have to be decent at everything in
4:37
order to have an NHL career because
4:38
they're not going to have that one super
4:40
skill. He's not going to fire the puck
4:41
100 miles an hour from the point. He's
4:43
not going to be
4:44
you know, doing those mohawk turns at
4:46
the blue line like Lane Hudson or
4:48
anything like that. He's going to have
4:50
to just be a solid guy all around. And
4:53
with the Flyers have developed
4:54
defenseman recently, it's not the worst
4:56
bet in the world. He's got a baseline
4:59
amount of skill and, you know, kind of
5:02
acumen defensively in order to like
5:05
think that he can be something. It's
5:07
just, you know, one of those guys who
5:09
I'm not exactly sure if he's going to
5:12
pop within the next couple of years and
5:15
he's going to bang down the door to be
5:17
to be an NHLer, right? It's just going
5:18
to be um
5:19
you know, you really got to take it slow
5:21
with him and then hope he develops his
5:22
overall game and maybe if he moves to
5:24
the NCAA and starts to play the same way
5:27
he did in the WHL and and take some of
5:29
that playoff momentum with him
5:31
into next year where he's staying in the
5:33
WHL, but in the future.
5:35
I think yeah, he could he could be a guy
5:38
who plays the middle pair, bottom pair.
5:42
He's a decent player. I mean, there's
5:44
still a lot of development to go.
5:45
There's a lot of runway in his
5:46
development for an 18-year-old
5:48
defenseman.
5:49
>> Yeah, I feel like defense is one area
5:51
where the Flyers can afford to be
5:53
patient. You know, they're starting to
5:54
build that defensive prospect pool back
5:56
up. But, the thing about their defense
5:58
is it's not particularly old. You know,
6:00
Ristolainen is the old man on the
6:01
defense right now and he's probably on
6:03
his way out. But, otherwise like you've
6:05
got Sanheim who's in his early 30s right
6:07
now. You've got York. You've got
6:09
Drysdale, guys in their 20s. Like a lot
6:12
of the guys in their are in their prime
6:14
currently. So, they're not really in a
6:16
rush to really replace any defenseman,
6:18
which is a nice position to be in. And
6:20
you've got guys like Bonk who's almost
6:22
NHL ready. Yerecheck's a big question
6:25
mark. I don't know what the hell to
6:26
think of Yerecheck, but he's potentially
6:27
a guy, right? So, you don't have to rush
6:31
Brett Leasky along.
6:33
>> Yeah, I think Oliver Bonk is probably
6:35
like he's like Oliver Bonk like light.
6:36
Like he's like Cam York I think had
6:38
probably a higher ceiling offensively.
6:41
Maybe he's like a right-handed Robert
6:42
Hagg type Hagg Hagg was a second-round
6:44
pick one of one of Steve's uh
6:46
>> Not a bag, Hagg.
6:48
>> 6'2", January birthday. So, he's he's
6:51
already 18. Like he just seems like a
6:54
guy that doesn't have top four
6:55
potential, but he could be could maybe a
6:57
second pair guy. You can pencil him in
6:59
on on the third pair in a few years.
7:00
Like he doesn't seem like he'll be the
7:03
type of defenseman that's going to hurt
7:04
you. Like having a good hockey IQ is
7:08
always going to work no matter what
7:09
level you're playing at. And looking at
7:11
the Silver Tips, he led the team in the
7:14
playoffs with a a plus minus of plus 25
7:17
plus 36 in the regular season. Was sixth
7:19
on the team. So, he seems like a you
7:21
know, smart player from everything I
7:23
read here. And yeah, it's good to have
7:26
that defensive depth in the system like
7:28
you guys said.
7:29
>> A real Justin Braun type. Yeah.
7:31
>> That that yeah. Yeah.
7:33
>> [laughter]
7:33
>> Big Brauny. The last thing I'll add with
7:35
Leasky, I think it'll be interesting to
7:37
see
7:38
um Dupont is going to Michigan now uh
7:41
for next year, I believe. And it'll be
7:44
interesting to see what Lisk is like if
7:46
he's not the foil
7:48
for a guy like DuPont, you know, a real
7:50
offensive stalwart.
7:51
Um
7:52
I I just he'll probably be the best
7:54
defenseman on the team at that point,
7:56
and I think it'll give him a little bit
7:59
just a little bit of a runway to maybe
8:01
show a bit more of his skill set. Um
8:03
because I think when you're playing uh
8:05
beside like a generational talent like
8:07
DuPont, 73 points in 63 games, like he's
8:10
the offensive guy, you kind of need that
8:12
guy on the other end to be a bit more
8:14
conservative, hang back a little bit. I
8:17
think we saw a little bit uh of that
8:19
when when um Travis Sanheim used to play
8:21
with Cam York, right? Um I think York
8:23
was a guy who
8:25
evolved his game over the years to kind
8:27
of be a bit more um
8:30
I don't I wouldn't say conservative, but
8:32
it's a bit more well-rounded than it was
8:34
when he first got into the league. And I
8:35
think I think Lisk can be a guy like
8:37
that, albeit, like you said, probably
8:39
with a lower ceiling overall.
8:41
>> And and he didn't play with DuPont for
8:42
most of the season. He only got there, I
8:44
think, in the playoffs, definitely,
8:46
maybe later in the season when uh
8:48
Terrance Smith got injured there. So,
8:51
yeah, I I also wonder if he'll be able
8:53
to kind of use his size more. 6'2, 190,
8:57
I think that's going to be something
8:58
that NHL teams are going to be looking
9:00
for from a guy like that, especially
9:03
with Flyers fans. They know they already
9:05
have a few big guys who don't
9:07
necessarily use the body as much. So, I
9:09
think that's something fans are going to
9:10
be looking for as well.
9:13
Um yeah, that's the only defenseman here
9:15
we'll be looking at as at the uh
9:17
under-the-radar potential guys. But we
9:19
also have a at number 24, Max Westergard
9:22
here, a uh fifth-round pick in 2025,
9:24
played over in the SHL for for Landa, uh
9:28
split between under 20, played some time
9:31
in the in the Pro League. Don't think he
9:32
had many points there, but 30 points in
9:34
20 games for the juniors, uh and then 13
9:38
points in 19 games for Finland's under
9:40
20 team there, including World Juniors
9:42
where he kind of really popped off here.
9:45
Seems like a guy that could easily be
9:47
ranked a lot higher than 24.
9:49
>> One of the few guys they got in that
9:52
draft that wasn't just a hulking human
9:55
being, not just like a giant guy who
9:57
smashed face smashes faces in. So, you
10:00
know, he's one of the more intriguing
10:02
prospects, definitely one of the few
10:04
guys that they really kind of
10:06
took a shot at. You know, we we talk a
10:08
lot about the Flyers taking shots at
10:09
guys and like really wanting to take a
10:12
swing for the fences. This is one of
10:13
those guys where it's like, okay, we're
10:15
going to see if he actually has the
10:17
talent to back it up. And so far he
10:19
seems like a pretty exciting player.
10:21
>> Yeah, he's one of those guys that gets
10:24
caught, especially in Sweden,
10:26
between the three leagues. You have the
10:29
Alice Svenskan.
10:30
That always trips me up. That's kind of
10:32
the the B tier pro league men's pro
10:35
league. You have the SHL, which is top
10:38
top tier Swedish hockey. And then you
10:39
have the U20 national, which is the the
10:42
Swedish junior league. One of those guys
10:44
who
10:45
30 points in 20 games in in the U20,
10:47
seems a bit too good for that level,
10:49
seems like he's proven himself there.
10:51
But then you go up to the SHL and 18 18
10:54
games, zero points. That looks bad on
10:57
paper, but that is just for a lot of the
10:59
guys who aren't Ivar Stenberg or or
11:01
somebody who's taken at the top top tier
11:03
of the draft, right? Leo Carlsson, shout
11:04
out to him. Remember him?
11:08
Outside of those guys, a lot of these
11:10
fifth, fourth, sixth round picks,
11:13
they just play they they play the
11:14
graveyard shift for lack of better word.
11:16
They're just out there, fourth line,
11:18
they don't get used a lot, very quick
11:20
shifts over there I always found when I
11:22
when I watched
11:24
the U20 and and the the pace is just
11:27
slower, the ice is bigger, it's just
11:30
harder to generate offense consistently.
11:32
So, I think
11:33
if he gets to play with Frolunda
11:36
um for this entire season, you'll see a
11:38
a bit more offense for sure, and then
11:39
you can really start to judge. But, you
11:41
know, like uh like Gil said at the the
11:43
junior level, he is a guy for uh
11:46
Finland's U20 team, looks pretty solid,
11:49
and I think even despite, you know, the
11:51
four points in in seven games at the the
11:53
World Juniors, you watch him and you can
11:54
see him trying to make things work. I
11:56
think he
11:57
he uh kind of reminded me of uh Hakki R-
12:00
Honen, who was a guy we'll talk about
12:01
later on down the line.
12:03
Um where you watch him at the the World
12:06
Juniors, and you're like, "How did this
12:07
guy go in like the fifth round?" Like,
12:09
how did nobody like take a shot in the
12:11
third or the fourth or whatever? Um 6 ft
12:14
174, he's not tiny um by any stretch,
12:17
especially if he can put some weight on,
12:19
and and he can skate, right? And with a
12:21
100 uh the 132nd pick in in a draft, I
12:23
mean,
12:25
not really going to do much better than
12:26
that in terms of a guy to have some
12:28
organizational depth down there at the
12:30
very least, but I think there's a chance
12:31
that he could pop off this season, and
12:33
and then we could be looking at a guy
12:35
who comes over next uh the the year
12:36
after next, and play some AHL minutes uh
12:39
if if the Flyers so choose to go that
12:42
way. So, it's it's interesting. He's
12:44
he's a guy who's he's still so young.
12:46
Like,
12:47
he doesn't turn 19 until
12:49
what, September September the 3rd? Um
12:52
so, it it is it he's he's just a kid
12:55
still, and and um it'll be interesting
12:57
to see what what he's got. But, he is
12:59
quick, he is fast, and he's got a bit of
13:00
a nose for the net. Um just one of those
13:03
fun guys, you know, to have in the in
13:04
the bottom six. Uh
13:06
maybe a little Carl Grundstrom to his
13:08
game, who knows?
13:09
>> A little bit of Carl, maybe a little bit
13:10
of Barky. I I've seen Bark some Barky
13:12
comparisons out there. Like, not a guy
13:14
that's going to make your top six or be
13:16
a guy that that jumps off the page at
13:18
you, but maybe a Oskar Lindblom type. He
13:20
was a guy that, you know, Flyers had
13:22
played in SHL. Uh unfortunately, his
13:24
career took a downturn there, but um
13:27
yeah.
13:28
>> Fifth-round pick, um you look at his
13:30
numbers in his draft year. He had 50
13:32
points in 41 games for that uh, under 20
13:35
team. For reference, uh, that year
13:37
Stenberg had uh, 53 points in 27 games.
13:41
So, you know,
13:42
you know, 14 more games, but similar
13:43
similar point out output for Westergard.
13:46
Yeah, you got to see what he can do.
13:48
Hopefully, he gets a better look at
13:50
least in that mid-tier league, if not
13:52
the SHL.
13:53
Um, apparently, there were some colleges
13:55
looking at him, I think, or the Flyers
13:56
were looking at that, but he Well, that
13:59
Hopefully, that means he'll get uh,
14:00
better look at the pro level this year.
14:03
>> I feel like he can't just stay in in the
14:05
the national the entire year. It just I
14:08
don't know. It's it's even going back to
14:10
his uh, pre-draft season. He had 50
14:12
points in 41 games over there at the J20
14:15
level, and it's like, I don't know. What
14:16
are you really giving him
14:18
development-wise if you continue to play
14:20
him there? Um,
14:22
we'll have to see though. It it's it's a
14:24
whole different ballgame over there, and
14:26
I I honestly don't hate the fact that he
14:28
stays over in Sweden for his
14:29
development. I mean, he could always go
14:31
to the uh, the NCAA, you know, next year
14:34
if that's if that's something where
14:36
he ends up finding finding a rhythm and
14:38
and gets some colleges interested in
14:39
him, and maybe, you know, he get more
14:41
Michigan State time.
14:43
>> Yeah. Yeah, I didn't realize how young
14:45
he was. He was a September birthday, so
14:46
basically a few weeks from cut off.
14:48
[clears throat] He would have be been in
14:50
the this year's draft instead of last.
14:51
>> Just a little baby.
14:53
>> Just a little little baby boy there.
14:54
>> Little baby boy.
14:56
>> Little tough boys.
14:58
>> That baby boy was me. Okay, but
15:01
don't let me derail it. I will
15:02
>> No, but but
15:04
same thing with Leschyshyn, Westergard,
15:05
you know, a few people left them off
15:07
their ballots. Thomas was highest at 15,
15:10
uh, Cole at 18. I had him at 24, which
15:12
is where he ended up here. So, yeah, a
15:14
guy that we'll hopefully see more from
15:17
um, this coming year, and he'll be back
15:19
at the World Juniors with Finland. He
15:20
was uh, you know, only 19, so we'll see
15:22
if he's able to uh light it up there
15:25
come uh the holiday season.
15:27
Uh and then one guy that I left off my
15:30
ballot and looking back at it, looking
15:31
deeper into it more now, I probably
15:34
would have ranked him is uh Nathan
15:36
Quinn, sixth sixth round pick, 164th
15:39
overall in 2025.
15:41
Uh lit up the Q this past season, 73
15:44
points, 34 goals in 58 games played. Uh
15:48
Jacob, what do you What do you think
15:49
about about this uh Nathan Quinn
15:52
>> I I've always been a a big Nathan Quinn
15:54
guy. For some reason, I always used to
15:57
at my old job, I used to uh watch a lot
15:59
of Quebec Remparts hockey and I it like
16:02
guys like Xavier Labelle who ended up
16:04
sucking,
16:05
uh Maddox Duchene, another guy who got
16:07
drafted. Um I was I was looking at the
16:09
Flyers to maybe take him in this past
16:12
year's draft. Uh but but Quinn's another
16:14
one of those guys, led the team in
16:16
points last year and he's always had a
16:18
pretty a pretty decent level of output
16:21
in the QMJHL even before this season, 46
16:24
points in 54 games. He's been able to
16:26
score at that level and this season he
16:28
kind of put it all together. Like I
16:30
said, he he led the team in points.
16:33
He's going to go back to the Q next year
16:35
and I think he's committed to
16:37
Northeastern for the year after that.
16:38
So, we will see him in the NCAA.
16:41
Um not the biggest guy in the world,
16:42
5'11, 176 he's listed at, but he's not
16:45
tiny by any means and
16:47
I just think he's got he's one of those
16:49
guys where
16:50
he's got a nose for the net. He really
16:52
wants to get to the dirty areas. He
16:55
wants the high quality chances. He's not
16:57
just going to settle for shots from the
16:59
outside and I I
17:00
I don't
17:01
he's just one of those guys. I don't
17:03
know. He's not a stud by any means, but
17:05
he's just continued to get better year
17:07
over year. Um he's done a lot of things
17:12
that I think project him to be an NHL
17:14
type guy. Just as, you know, getting
17:17
down low, cycling the puck, hard in the
17:20
corners.
17:21
Um
17:22
if he can become a guy who's a bit more
17:24
possession-heavy
17:27
entering the zone as he gets more
17:29
confident at that level. And, you know,
17:31
if he pushes even for like a 90-point
17:33
season in the Q, which is not completely
17:35
out of the realm of possibility, I think
17:37
he's got NHL potential. I don't know how
17:41
high his ceiling's going to be. I don't
17:42
think he's a center at the NHL level,
17:44
but
17:45
um
17:47
he again, another one of those guys you
17:48
look at how he's developed over the past
17:51
year and you're like, "Yeah, as a
17:53
sixth-round pick goes, I mean
17:55
you're really not going to ask for much
17:57
more than that unless you're getting
17:58
like, I don't know, Pavel Datsyuk or
17:59
something like the old days, which I
18:01
just don't think happens anymore. I
18:02
think that's impossible unless it's like
18:04
a goalie.
18:06
Um
18:07
yeah, I really like Quinn. Um I would
18:08
have had him maybe a little bit higher
18:11
on this list in my opinion. Like, you
18:14
can't really go much higher than that,
18:16
but I look at a guy like Jack McBain.
18:19
Eh, you know. Um I think Quinn's Quinn's
18:23
a pretty solid name to look and watch
18:25
for um especially once he gets to the
18:28
NCAA, plays at a bit higher of a level
18:31
than the Q, but I think he's basically
18:33
done everything he could do at this
18:36
level in order to keep himself in the
18:39
conversation as a potential NHL
18:41
prospect.
18:42
>> I've been sleeping on Quinn. Okay, I
18:44
guess I
18:45
I've been sleeping on him because like
18:47
if this is why I don't fill out the
18:49
ballot because I don't know anything
18:51
about Quinn. I wouldn't have had Quinn
18:52
in my top 25. I just like completely not
18:55
on my radar. So, I'm excited now after
18:58
hearing Jacob talk about him. I'm I'm
18:59
in. All right, you son of a [Β __Β ] I'm
19:01
in.
19:01
>> He's not like a stud, but he's a guy
19:04
who, you know,
19:06
like not exactly the Barkey mold because
19:09
Barkey was playing for London and if he
19:11
was 4 in taller, he would have been a
19:12
first rounder but I don't know. I just
19:15
see there's a little bit there and you
19:16
look at a guy like D'Aigle Jeanau
19:18
who had what he had 62 and 62 this past
19:21
year.
19:22
I don't think they're that different of
19:23
players. I think they do a lot of the
19:25
same things well except you know Quinn
19:27
doesn't have a reverse hit mixtape that
19:29
you can look up on YouTube.
19:31
So yeah, I mean it's it'll be
19:32
interesting to see. I think he's got a
19:34
little bit more in the tank there as as
19:37
a
19:38
you know potential potential NHL
19:40
prospect.
19:41
>> Yeah, D'Aigle Jeanau is 6'4" so a bit
19:44
bigger but yeah, we're seeing Quinn
19:46
getting getting more points than him. I
19:48
was also looking up Teddy Bleutren who I
19:50
think was a first round pick somewhere.
19:52
>> Or second or first yeah.
19:53
>> Nathan Quinn had had more points than
19:56
him and I'm going to offer you two guys
19:58
as as potential comparables here for
20:00
former Flyers prospects that played in
20:02
the queue.
20:03
You got a second round pick in 2014,
20:06
Nicholas Aubel-Kubel who you know had
20:08
had a few 80 point seasons, 38 goals.
20:11
Undrafted
20:13
guy, Danny Martel. Danny Martel looks
20:15
like a guy he really went off in the
20:17
queue, 104 points. Yeah, so like those
20:20
are two guys that maybe Quinn can become
20:22
more of a more of a knack there.
20:25
Famously dented Stanley Cup after the
20:27
Flyers traded him away maybe but you
20:29
know,
20:29
>> [laughter]
20:29
>> could be a a good journeyman like bottom
20:31
sixer out of this guy and and maybe even
20:33
more if he's able to you know prove that
20:36
he can be one of these undersized
20:39
whether it's a center or a wing and keep
20:41
this going at the queue then at the
20:43
college level.
20:44
>> And AKGB, get excited. You got a new
20:46
god.
20:47
>> [laughter]
20:48
>> Yeah, I mean
20:50
you look at him and
20:52
I think it's just good to have those
20:54
guys in the system just kind of turning
20:56
over. It's like hey, there's another
20:57
little wing guy here that if you got a
21:00
trade
21:01
XYZ off the roster because you don't
21:03
want to pay him,
21:04
maybe you get a guy and and give him
21:06
some minutes late in the season, he
21:07
scores a couple goals and and now he's
21:09
on the radar again, right? Maybe he's
21:11
playing with the Phantoms and he's in
21:13
the top three scorers or something here
21:15
or there and he is able to uh
21:18
adapt to the the bigger frames of the
21:21
pro game and and I think he's got the
21:23
sort of skillset you want of a bottom
21:25
six guy with some skill. Um he's
21:27
definitely never I don't think he's
21:28
going to be a guy who's a slug and just
21:31
dumping the puck in and
21:32
doing the dirty work. I think he's got a
21:34
little bit of flash to his game still
21:36
and I think he's going to be interesting
21:37
to watch in the future. And yeah, he has
21:39
outscored some guys in the Q who, you
21:41
know, are drafted higher than him flat
21:43
out, right? Like
21:45
that is just what the what what it is.
21:47
>> Yeah, he I mean, the Remparts I don't
21:48
know what the I don't know what the
21:49
record the record was, but he had 73
21:51
points. And then Desharnais had 62. Then
21:54
49 some defenseman had. Cal Cal Ewen's
21:57
there. So like there was not a lot of
21:58
good players on the Remparts there. Is
22:01
Desharnais going back to uh
22:04
Yeah, he'll be back with the Q with
22:05
Desharnais. So maybe we'll see um I
22:07
wonder if Desharnais and Quinn play on
22:09
the same line, if Quinn's a second line
22:11
center. We'll see what that uh entails
22:13
this coming
22:13
>> Remparts were were middle of the pack,
22:15
fifth in the East uh of the QMJHL. So
22:18
they were fine. I mean, nothing insane,
22:21
but uh yeah. Not a ton of yeah, uh
22:23
high-level draft prospects coming from
22:26
from uh the Remparts this year, so.
22:28
>> Yeah, but but three guys here, Andlauer,
22:30
Leschyshyn, Westergard, and Quinn who
22:31
you could easily see playing bottom half
22:34
of the lineup. You know, when the Flyers
22:35
have their their Michkovs and Martones
22:38
and they get their paydays, you have
22:40
these guys coming in on entry-level
22:42
deals, on you know, their first RFA deal
22:45
to be these cheap guys that you need to
22:47
help you win a Stanley Cup and be
22:48
competitive. So always good to have
22:50
these these depth prospects here,
22:52
especially in the 20s cuz that means
22:53
there's at least 20 players
22:56
theoretically better than them in the
22:57
system. So that's always
22:58
a good thing there.
23:01
All right, I think that's going to do it
23:02
for the under the radar discussion. Make
