Default Calgarypuck Prospect Ranking 2020 - Round 33

It's time for the 8th annual Calgarypuck Prospect Ranking, but at a different time of year and certainly at a different time.

First a look back at previous years can be done with this handy link: Previous Results

Once again vote how you want. There are those that vote 100% on potential, some that vote 100% on the likelihood to see an NHL rink, others that apply a mix, some using the value in a trade. Completely up to you.

I'll run one a day until we are done, and then FlamesAddiction wants to do a one off list version to compare the results.

We start with 35 names so this should get us pretty close to a Flames camp.

2020 Results
1. Valimaki - 85%
2. Zary - 62%
3. Pelletier - 74%
4. Wolf (Run Off)
5. Mackey (Run Off)
6. Pettersen 42%
7. Phillips 36%
8. Gawdin 28%
9. Zavgorodniy 34%

Mitchell Mattson has fewer points in the past few seasons than many backup goaltenders.

But Karnaukhov and Rafikov have solid production in the KHL. Karnaukhov is still decently young. Rafikov hasn't shown any sign of wanting to come to North America and has basically lost contact with the team.

Hard to believe we picked Mattson over Phillips that draft

I feel like Rafikov is actually pretty good at hockey just zero interest in leaving Russia

Karnakhov is probably winning only because he’s actually played in Calgary before. Rafikov seems like the better talent (even compared to some of the guys in the top 10)

How did this guy get drafted at all? He has 1 point in 37 college games. He’s 6’4” but only has 6 PIMS. That suggests to me that he can’t score and he’s not overly physical for a big guy.

His junior stats are pretty underwhelming too. When we picked him he only had 9 points in 34 games. Only 2 points in 21 games in his draft year. Seriously dropped the ball on this one. And it’s not like he was a 7th rounder. I find it hard to believe he was the best option in the 5th round that year.

46 points in 25 games in Minnesota High School hockey in his draft year.

He actually went later than most of the scouting services had him ranked. ISS had him as an early 3rd rounder:
Quote:
  • 2016 NHL Entry Draft: Ranked #112 by FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS
  • 2016 NHL Entry Draft: Ranked #61 by ISS HOCKEY
  • 2016 NHL Entry Draft: Ranked #119 by MCKEEN'S HOCKEY
  • 2016 NHL Entry Draft: Ranked #61 by NHL CENTRAL SCOUTING (NA Skaters)
Obviously, it wasn't just the Flames that liked him. Some people will forgive a lot when they see 6'4" and 200lbs on the stat line, just like some people can't see beyond 5'6" and 150lbs on the stat line.

Ah. Makes sense. Hockey DB doesn’t have his high school stats.

Pretty much dumpster diving at this point.
