I’m a Wings fan but I still tune into this - it’s an awesome series and Adams seems like a good GM.

If you are football fans, you should see the buffalo bills embedded as well. Both are must watch for Buffalo fans and I’d bet would be entertaining for any sports fan of NFL/NHL.

Love this comment. I'm firstly a Sabres fan and the Canucks have always been my 2nd! Go Sabres! Go Nucks!

I’m an avs fan I really hope they do good this year. There fans really deserve them making the playoffs

I've been a Vancouver fan because they always have Swedes on the team.

ha ha..i just wrote a similar comment

nice investment

That's exactly what I thought. Everyone is an expert

A couple? Try 3 or 4 guy.

youre amaaaaaaaaazing!

Hahaha so so so true

junior hockey is boring...tbats why tbey all dont make it to the NHL

i picked Rossi in NHL 20....hes not worth it.🤣🤣🤣🤣

He also has connections in the hockey world, something I don’t believe GMJB had.

Kevyn seems very likeable. And he seems to relate well to his colleagues, his employees, and his fan base.

@@jf13579 JB was the assistant manager for the penguins before he managed the sabres and as a player he played in pittsburgh, rochester, and for the 03 04 season got called up to buffalo

Botterill seemed in over his head/outta his league/disconnected from the start

@@madisyn493 for sure eh...kevin adams seems like he would be a great guy to work for. i love his passion for the sabres...it seems very genuin. i like your teams lineup and wish you guys the best...but Taylor Halls past injuries worry me...only one 82 game season.

sweet! maybe a higher scoring Connor Brown?

@@kYA00h Quinn is more of a pure goal scorer. He's still rounding out his complete game atm. Hopefully he makes the world junior team and his skills can be on full display

@@Violencegod61 of course he is still rounding out his game, hes 18. hasnt played a full season with MEN yet!. too soon to label him... "pure scorer" lets see if he can win defensive zone battles.. can avoid injuries.. play over 15 mins a game with a presence.

They asked for 11 and 37 from Nashville for 8, Nashville said no

has nothing to do with position, shot, stats, etc... if the players GEL...they GEL "you play who can produce" simple logic

Or 40. Or 50. No one has any clue, these guys are kids. Rossi could turn out to be average at best. 3/4 of Bills fans wanted Josh Rosen over Josh Allen. Trust the process.

It would be a good pick in a vacuum. Sure Jack Quinn can be a 30 goal scorer but is it still a good pick if they pass on a player like Rossi who becomes a point per game player who can drive his own line and doesn't need to play with a player like Eichel to produce?

@@justinzulewski930 if Rossi becomes that. What if he doesn't? People acting like Rossi is McDavid-guaranteed levels of greatness in the NHL and it's hilarious.

@@stalktheground23 What Rossi did in 2019-2020: - CHL Top Prospects Game - CHL Top Scorer Award (120) - OHL Best Plus/Minus (+69) - OHL First All-Star Team (Center) - OHL Most Assists (81) - OHL Most Outstanding Player (Red Tilson Trophy) - OHL Most Points (Eddie Powers Trophy) (120) - 39 Goals - 34 multipoint games - Second in points per game (2.14) behind left wing Alexis Lafreniere (2.15) of Rimouski of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, the projected No. 1 pick in the 2020 draft. - 58.5 percent, fifth among OHL players with at least 1,000 attempts - Rossi was held without a point just four times this season. Here are some scouting reports from www.mynhldraft.com/2020-nhl-draft/player-profiles/Marco-Rossi 1st Report: Marco Rossi - Dobber Prospects - Sept. 30th: "His high hockey IQ in all three zones combined with an unmatched work ethic means he is able to force turnovers and create plays in transition at a high level." 2nd report: Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - Sept. 21st: "He plays in the middle of the ice but knows when to take the outside lane. And he’s the best defensive forward in the draft. Some evaluators point to his height and question whether he’ll stick at centre, his natural position." 3rd Report: Chris Peters - ESPN - June 30th: "Rossi has become oddly polarizing. His 2.14 points per game in the OHL ranks fifth among players 18 years old or younger over the past 20 years, but many have rushed to underplay that production because of the quality of his team and the relative weakness of the OHL's Eastern Conference." 4th Report: Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - June 25th: "Highly competitive, super smart, easily coached and a strong lower half that should make up for perceived size issues." 5th Report: NHL Centreal Scouting Analysis - NHL . Com - April 3rd: "He's a highly skilled offensive player who is equally dangerous creating plays and finishing scoring chances. Rossi is an excellent skater, solid on his skates and difficult to knock off the puck, and he can make plays off the rush or in tight areas. He demonstrates a strong cycle game, can extend plays in the offensive zone and can beat defenders with speed or with an impressive set of moves." 6th Report: Jordan Deshane - The Hockey Writers - May 11th: "Don’t let his shorter stature fool you. He’s built like Sidney Crosby from the waist down. He is hard on the puck and cannot be knocked off easily. In addition to his elite offensive game, Rossi plays hard in the defensive zone and has a sound all-around presence while also playing on the edge like the much-beloved Brad Marchand." 7th Report: Ryan Kennedy - The Hockey News - May 11th: "Rossi can pile up points while maintaining a responsible side. He plays the right way and if teams avoid him because of his height, they’ll regret it his entire NHL career." So don't take my word for it take the scouting reports words about it.

@@stalktheground23 we can talk about hypotheticals all we want. Obviously we won’t know who is the better player for a while but most scouts and hockey people have Rossi above Quinn. I think as fans were justified to be upset that we didn’t take the near consensus better guy at the time of the draft but we’ll have to wait and see

Omg I see it. Definitely JACK NICHOLSON

Shining Jack Nichol....? or As Good as it Gets Jack Nichol.? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@kYA00h the joker!

Very good point you can only hope he develops as he gets older

Sometimes I like to rewatch these bc they are so well made and they give us something to look forward to. But I noticed Crowe’s title: Director of Scouting. They currently have Director of Pro Scouting and Director of Amateur Scouting. His title change seems to a just matter of restructuring as they hired more people.

Not devine...

Still weird how they grabbed the wrong 67s

@@sneakeasy5664 they took exactly who they needed

@@sneakeasy5664 They grabbed the best goal scorer in the draft. A guy who created most of his own goal scoring chances. Rossi and Quinn didn't even play together on the power play. Rossi has nothing to do with Quinn's success

@@JNG107 Best goal scorer? Is that a common opinion? I have no issue with Quinn since I trust the scouts know more than me... and I might be biased since I've seen Holtz and Raymond play live... but I'd rate Holtz and perhaps even Raymond as better goal scorers than Quinn.

Agreed

Isnt jack quinn a bit old? I mean he was a congressman in like 94-06.

Rossi is a small guy. Quinn is 6 feet tall that's why lol. In all seriousness the best goalscorer in the draft is Quinn. Sabres already have enough play making centers. They don't need another one like Rossi. There one weakness has always been goalscoring ever since Jeff Skinner's production fell off the face of the earth

@@JNG107 i can agree with this. You make a great point.

How do feel now as he's lighting it up in the AHL?.

Hi, Daniel Briere is calling.

Camera didn't autofocus yet. Everything around them is blurry, not just them.

@@JIMpossible It's definitely done in post, not a focus issue at all. The focal length tells the story. If this weren't the case, dude in front would be in focus and the two people right side of frame would not be in focus.

Most likely the people blurred out did not give consent to be filmed.

Share the methodology

@@jeffmrowka9380 multiple linear regression, KNN test, Lasso regression. Input variables were the junior scoring statistics

@@dereklasker5350 no, the actual methodology, written in a consumable manner. Bonus points for how it plays out against multiple years of historical data and outcomes

@@jeffmrowka9380 will be posted on our website mid December at the end of the semester. We did one last semester too so you can find it here: msurmandsp.wordpress.com The one with the long title is the full write up but our original “prospect rankings” are in a separate post. Those will be updated as well

Wonder why they even play games. They should just award the Stanley Cup to the team that analysts say has the best roster on paper.

Yes because Jack Eichel and Rasmus Dahlin don’t produce anything when playing

@@kylecaccamise3832 did you actually read what he said?🤣

Yes!! They don't draft very well in rounds 2-7. Their roster is absolute trash outside of Eichel, Dahlin and Reinhart, but those are top 3 picks. You look at the draft the last 8 years, outside of Eichel and Rasmus, their first round draft choices are a disaster. And ALWAYS, the player drafted directly after them are superstars. It's crazy!

everyones draft roster is usually trash after the first round except for the 90's Redwings...🤣🤣🤣🤔 check out the leafs draft years.!! Hunter and ALL HIS PICKS...!! how many of those guys skate fulltime on the leafs currently, after the first round??

Haven't seen skating as a concern in any report I've seen. Most everyone says he's fast on the top end and skating is a strength. He's also still raw, he never really dedicated to hockey training until he was 15 or 16.

Eichel is one of the smoothest skaters in the Nhl...absolute fluid!!! Dhalin is up there too you are messed in your head man Do you Play???

Dude Rossi had little to no part in Quinn success especially on the power play where they never played together. Clearly you don't watch junior hockey or even seen Quinn highlights because if you did you would see that Quinn created most of his own goalscoring chances

Same team but different line for 90% of ice time.

This comment is embarrassing

There is none

So you're a better evaluator of talent than Kevyn Adams and Jeremiah Crowe? Pretty cool, dude. How long have you been scouting junior hockey talent?

@@NewVegasNerd you can look at any stats and projections from any public scouting service, counting stats, advanced stats, they all say Rossi is the far superior player. Quinn is good but Rossi is amazing, Perfetti is very good. There’s no way you can watch Ottawa 67’s game and deduce that Quinn is the better player

@@dereklasker5350 Yeah, and everyone said Josh Rosen was going to be a better Qb than Allen. Lmfao. People still treat what the "experts" say as gospel. The truth is nobody knows for sure who's going to be better than who in pro sports. Scouts and GMs know way more than any of you armchair GMs. Pretending that you KNOW Rossi will be better than Quinn is dumb as hell.

@@NewVegasNerd first of all it’s two different sports so you can’t compare them like that. Also Allen had a 2% chance of becoming a star and he hit it. Rosen failed due to attitude issues and no help around him. Besides, the only advantages Quinn has over rossi is size (which has been proven over the last few years is not very important) and shot power. Rossi is better at literally everything else. And I’d say I’m a bit more than an armchair GM given that I’m currently working for a college hockey team

Can’t get rid of the face of the franchise bud, he’s the team, there is no team without jack
