Gridin is clearly going to be an upper roster NHL player. Not sure where that lands (elite top line winger vs 2nd line PP guy), but that 2024 draft could be top five all time for the team.

Is there a primer somewhere on how to read these charts? It seems like "bar right = good; bar left = bad" but I'm sure there's more to it than that.
Here you are (NSFW just cause it's long)
NSFW!
Individual offense (teal, far left in legend):
Direct offensive contributions from the player himself: shots, goals, primary assists, playmaking attempts.
Team offense above average (cyan):
How much the team’s offense improves when that player is on the ice versus when he’s off. Think zone time, shot quality, scoring chances generated while he’s deployed.
Individual defense (dark purple):
The player’s direct defensive impact: breaking up plays, limiting shots against, recovering pucks. Negative values mean he’s directly bleeding chances.
Team defense above average (lavender/light purple):
How much the team’s defense improves when he’s on the ice versus when he’s off. So if the group allows fewer shots/chances with him out there, this is positive.
PP above average (light aqua/grey-blue):
Contribution to the team’s power play compared to average. Positive = helps drive PP results; negative = PP worse with him on.
PK above average (light grey-violet):
Contribution to the penalty kill compared to average. Positive = better suppression on PK with him; negative = worse.
Actual GameScore (empty outlined box):
The player’s raw GameScore from the game, without QoT (quality of teammates) or QoC (quality of competition) adjustments.
QoT/QoC Adjusted GameScore (gold square outline):
Their GameScore after controlling for who they played with and against. This is the fairest comparison number.

PP with legit snipers like Matty and Gridin, QBed by Zayne, Zary and Bru. That's a tantalizing future!
It won't be long (if it's not already there) that Gridin, Suniev, and Honzek surpass Klapka on the depth chart. All three will start with the Wranglers, but Huska will be throwing banana peels at Klapka hoping to get a good look at one of those three at some point. Gridin, in the last two games, has moved to the top of that grouping. He looks like a real deal. He's bigger and stronger than I expected. The shootout shot was something, but even his first goal was a rocket.
I agree on Morton and think he makes it as the 14th forward. Miromanov is the casualty and they start with 7D

Funny how the Gridin pick went from "at least they got Basha in the second round so no damage done" to "MATVEI!"

The 2024 draft in general is starting to look like it'll be our Heiskanen/Roberts/Oettenger draft.
Zayne looks like a franchise player. Gridin looks like he could be a top line winger. And Basha/Battaglia/Mews all have skillsets that makes it look like they'll be contributors at the NHL level in the near future. Never mind Misa, Laing, and the others where we could still get a couple of NHLers out of that group too.

I won't bring up stats for fear of 33 responses and 2 hours of my day going up in smoke, but if you ignore counting stats I don't think he's NHL ready.
I don’t pretend to be some scouting pro so I’m totally comfortable with the fact I might be wrong or missing something, but I just have not been impressed by Kerins any time I’ve watched him. I felt the same about Phillips when I watched him on the Wranglers, he’d end up getting a couple points and just look totally unimpressive doing it.

You pretend to be a pro on all sorts of topics, why sit this one out?

Don't remember that at all, people weren't sure who he was but once some reports and highlights poured in most were happy they went with a guy who had offensive upset. The most contentious part of the thread was was someone brought up Honzek lol
Great that Gridin is pushing in camp. I’m in no rush to have him starting with the Flames. Go prove you can do it in the AHL and if he does, all the more reason to move a guy like Coleman to free up a spot and recoup some assets.
I think Klapka might be just fine sonewhere in the middle-six as a Tomas Holmstrom-type- one who finishes plays by working in the paint, and harassing the goalie. He has to keep playing with that competitive fire, though- if he gets too complacent and takes his foot off the gas, that’s when he’s ineffective IMO.
