People don't understand he is 18 playing in a MENS league, if he played in the WHL like bedard hed likely put up 100-120 points.

Just wanted to say your videos are amazing man! You deserve more subs and more recognition. Best prospect videos on the internet. The way you break it down and even compare stats with past Alums from same leagues is fantastic.

We need some size and smart playmaking ability. We have plenty of shooters with no one to consistently get them the puck and drive play, specifically from the gritty areas. And who doesn't love a 200ft player.

He looks to use his reach well which is a good thing.I don't think he has much of a shot and seems a bit lazy around the front of the net.He sort of reminds me of the old Pete Mahovlich but likely not as tough.I think he will be a good sort of setup guy a sort of smooth calm skating player.I don't think his compete or board toughness wil be very good but he seems a good pick to be at least a second line center.

I don't understand why so many people have him rated in the top 3-4. I think the NHL will be way too fast for him. Not just how fast NHL players skate, but at the decision making level. To me, he's barely top 20. If he was under 6 foot, he wouldn't be rated nearly as high. NHL GMs still value size for some reason.

@nhldraftpros Жыл бұрын

The NHL does value size still! But he's been putting up respectful numbers at high level play and the skating can be worked on. The decision making will be a test at the NHL level for sure!

@tomslick2058 Жыл бұрын

He will go 3 or 4. GMs will fall ln love with his size. Mitchov is the wildcard. Think whatever teams drafts 4th will take Mitchov. Who is a risk because he may not come over after his KHL contact is up. My prediction is Hawks pick Mitchov at 4 unless Fantilli or Carlsson drops. Which is doubtful.

You are correct on the size factor for NHL GMs.

@DonatoWilliams Жыл бұрын

I think he has lots of promise but at 18 he's got a few more years to go before he's playing in the NHL. It would be a good move by the team that drafts him to keep him in the AHL for the next 2 - 3 yrs.

@alessandroscuderi7300 Жыл бұрын

This is not true at all. Hes not going to need remotely close to a few years and could probably play in NHL right now if not is extremely close. Hes already a good player in the SHL, is big and is a forward which takes far less time to make NHL. He'll take at most 1 year after being drafted, if that, before playing in NHL ... He'll 100% be playing in NHL by start of 2024/2025 season

@@philliamjond1582 EU players are overrated because they play against adults + they have to adapt to a smaller ice rink. I would rather draft a player that dominates against guys his age than someone who perform average or below average playing against men. The exceptions are EU players that actually play above average like Stuzle,Kakko, Laine, Matthews(played his draft year in swiss), Dahlin,petterson... These players had true stars draft year. In comparaison to these players, Carlsson isnt doing anything exceptionnal in the best draft since 2015 to deserve being draft 3rd or 4th. + The team that draft him will probably rush him in the nhl and hurt his development. In order, I would rather take Michkov(no brainer, he is on whole other level), Smith, Benson, Moore. Making him 7th overall which is still very good. I just think 3rd/4th is a reach
