Lipinski remains at risk of joining this club I think

14:29 of ice time jumps out to me for Wyttenbach. Over a point per game and only getting 2nd line minutes. Pretty good numbers given that.

I voted Wyttenbach over him simply because the Flames took Wyttenbach earlier. Could have been a strategic play at the draft table, but I have to trust the order they were taken in a little bit.

To point out my hypocrisy here, though, it's pretty interesting that Calgary's third round pick (Philips) from this last draft really hasn't got much attention from us. He's got the size, physicality and skating but didn't put up any points so I've been putting a lot of other players in front of him. If he makes it though, he'll likely be one of my favourite players, as I love his punishing style of play.

Out of thanks, but good point!

Phillips has plenty to work on, no question- but he has some pretty amazing physical gifts, for sure.

Wyttenbach should have gone 13th or 14th, this is such a disservice putting all these career NHL call-up guys that arnt really prospects ahead of him.

I hate to be the wet blanket, but if it weren’t for analytics, Wyttenbach might not have been drafted- he’s small, slow, and lacks overall pace. There’s A LOT of work to be done here.

On the upside, the Flames have one of the best skating coaches in the business. So he probably has a better chance of actually doing that work than he would in most other organizations.

Have voted for him and will continue to do so until I can’t

5-10, 180 is small? I mean, it's not huge, but he's not a shrimp. And I'm no expert but he doesn't look slow either.

If he's so bad why do the analytics favor him? Honest question.

I didn’t say he was bad, he actually has a good skill level and seems like a character kid. Junior hockey is full of players that don’t get drafted, or don’t make it to the NHL, despite being able to dominate offensively (remember Marty Murray and Gilbert Brule?)-you can get by on skill and smarts in lower leagues, but it gets harder in the pros. I think it’s better to see how impressive his stats were last season in the USHL despite being not fleet of foot, and not very pacey. Imagine what his stats would look like if he was lightning quick? Imagine what he could be in the future if he fixes his speed and pace? Every fifth-rounder has warts….

The average size for an NHL player is 6’1”, and over 200lbs- a player who is 5’10” is considered undersized these days- by scouts, not by me. Not many teams have more than a couple of players under 5'11" in their lineup.

Hopefully he puts in a good summer, as he opted to go to the NCAA this fall, which I was a little shocked by- I figured he would take another season in junior to work out his kinks…
