The 2022 draft, we can kind of move on to that and just talk a little bit of a prospect
0:04
update here. A lot more, there was a lot more picks, but there was also a lot more positive picks coming
0:12
out of it. So Oscar Pedersen looks to be okay. But Stephen Halliday has had all eyes on him over the past couple weeks
0:20
He did absolutely fantastic during the set of Belleville Senators. I almost said Binghamton. Wow
0:26
The Belleville Senators playoff run. Yeah, I don't know where that came from
0:31
But Stephen Halliday has done very well. He is an excellent playmaker
0:36
He's got good size. He's got good skating. I think that he's got a lot of the attributes that are needed to kind of make that transition
0:44
I think he could do really well as like a third line scoring winger
0:50
Jorian Donovan, he's doing really well. He did good in the OHL this year
0:55
Cam O'Neill, he had an okay season in the NCAA. A couple other names in there, but not a ton of standouts in the last draft
1:04
I mean Hoyt Stanley, Matthew Antonovsky, Owen Beckner, Vladimir Nikitin. Nikitin did have a really good season in the BCHL, but it's the BCHL
1:16
So take that as you will. And Nick Van Tassel. I don't know if over the course of the season I heard any of those names
1:24
The draft, looked at them, said, cool, this is what we got
1:28
I don't know if I heard any of their names through the course of the season. They're just all blah
1:33
I mean it was a fourth round pick, a fifth round pick, and three seventh round picks
1:37
That's all I know. It was another draft of just like adding role players. Yeah
1:43
Hoyt Stanley had the most upside of all of them. I don't think he passes a second pairing defensive defenseman
1:54
He's a big lanky defender. That's what he does. He won't put up points
2:00
And we're seeing that in, is he Cornell? Yes, I want to say he's at Cornell
2:09
He's playing NCAA anyways. Like fine, but I think he had maybe less than 10 points this year
2:16
He had 10 in 35 games. It was at 10. Okay. I haven't checked in a minute
2:22
So yeah, like intriguing, but there's not a lot of offensive upside. Andonovsky is a tough guy
2:28
Ben Tassel is a late round pick. Cam O'Neill I think was another overage pick that Dorian loved doing
2:40
Just a lot of blah. I mean, that's kind of the way that you maybe talk about most of the picks with Dorian. Yeah
2:53
Especially now that that era has ended. And it's just, really? All right. Yeah
