Thanks a lot !

I agree that he is the closest thing to Lane. I don't think he's as smart offensively however.

Merci beaucoup des bons mots. C'est très flatteur. Pour le support, je dirais simplement de commenter et de partager c'est déja une belle marque de reconnaissance.

I would LOVE to make a video on him, but from what I've been told, any KHL-related content are being signaled and removed from KZfaq. That's a shame because I would love to showcase to the public that he is in fact a very good defenseman and no, the NHL executives aren't simply in love with him because SIZE. He's my number 1 ranked D in this draft and it has been the case all season long.

Thanks a lot man ! Make sure to check the other videos too. And I still have atleast 6 others that I plan to make, maybe more.

I'm not a huge fan of Connelly. After Greentree, I'll make a video on Connelly.

La comparaison que j'utilise est Martin Necas. Je vois un peu aussi de Troy Terry.

Thanks ! Pleasure is mine !

Thanks a lot !

Good question. It will be answered in the next video, but Sennecke. It's an interessting question because, like I said, at the start of the year, I saw Sennecke as a uy who would creep into the top 10 by the end of the year. I was right, however, there was some rough moment throughout the year for him. And as far as Greentree, I had a hard time grasping his game at first, but by December, his progression was insane ! At that point, he had the progression I would have thought that Sennecke would have. His skating improved and that changed his whole game (there's still some work to be done at this level) , he started taking over shifts once he realized that he wasn't anchored down by his skating and that he could cover more ground on the ice. Up until the month of April I had Greentree ahead, but I think his overall Hockey-Sense isn't that strong and a lot of it was covered by playing for a weak team where he had all of the leeway possible. Plus, in 20+ games, I saw him throw 5 hits, at best. Sennecke has some grit. But the Deal-Breaker for me is the Hockey-Sense, I think Sennecke edges him off by a good margin in that aspect.

@@SimonSt-L-Scouting I will surely watch that video

Sennecke!

I can see why Mtl Scouts are high on him, very shifty and agile with both scoring and playmaking abilities. His skating looks good too. Also fun player to watch, things happen around him. I haven't seen any games with him at all more highlights and reports like this one, really like what I see though. Like him much more than Iggy that some are very high on. Iggy is fine to me but this kid got more fantasy and hockey sense imo.

Most people would be ok with Tij Iginla at 5th OA. Ironically enough, I think Sennecke’s ceiling is higher than Iginla’s 😂🤷‍♂️

Thanks for the kind words ! Means a lot ! You know what, now that you say it, I can see the comparison with Seth Jones. Good Catch. The team that drafts Levshunov high gotta hope that he'll round out his game and that he'll keep improving since High-Level Hockey is new to him.

Thank you very much !

Anaheim has Tristan Luneau and Noah Warren all RD. I’m not impressed with Levshunov at all

@@ducksgo Cool beans.

But maybe they value Yakemchuk more. Also, Silayev has played on the Right-Side most of the season.

@@SimonSt-L-Scouting Silayev is under contract for 2 more seasons in the KHL. I don’t think he’s going in the top 6 to be honest. Maybe top 10 but that’s a long time to wait for a player

@@ducksgo I wouldn't mind waiting 2 years for him. I don't have any other D in the same tier as him. (To be fair, I've never been a big fan of 'Tier' ) BTW, Ducks needs to make their purple jersey their main one !

Merci beaucoup. Effectivement, pour une première saison en NCAA, il y a eu suffisamment de flash qui laissent entrevoir de très bonnes choses pour son avenir. Plus de constance quant à son Compete-Level pourrait lui rendre un grand coup de main, améliorer son contrôle de rondelle sera essentiel pour lui. C'est difficile deviner où il va sortir, selon les recruteurs sondés par Bob McKenzie, il est quasi-unaniment perçu comme un top 5, voire, top 3. Par contre, ça fait quelques années que je serais prêt à parier que les Scouts ne sont pas entièrment transparents quant au dévoilement de leur liste. Je crois qu'on a plutôt affaire à une sorte de Mock Draft 'Glorifié' . Honnêtement, je ferais la même chose à leur place. Ils n'ont rien à gagner de vendre les secrets de leur liste, surtout si c'est pour mettre l puce à l'oreille à d'autres recruteurs. J'ai 3 ou 4 défenseurs devant Levshunov, je n'ai pas encore statué entre lui et Buium. Je n'ai pas été le plus grand fan de ce dernier cette saison mais je n'ai pas encore regardé ses matchs de Demi-Finale et de Finale en NCAA.

@@SimonSt-L-Scouting Intéressant comme idée, ça serait quand même étonnant de le voir tomber en effet, mais j'avoue que, réellement, y'a aucun but à être 100% honnête avec McKenzie à ce niveau là, même si l'identité des scouts est anonyme. J'ai trouvé le match de demi de Buium plus ou moins bon, et j'ai pas regardé la finale, mais il a une super belle passe lors de ce match. En regardant la demi, tu devrais voir à quel point Celebrini domine des deux côtés de la patinoire, mais surtout à quel point il est une spark pour son équipe.

His footwork seemed more clunky at the start of the year. Later in the year I haven't really seen sequences where he was in trouble due to a lack of escaping-skills in retrieval.

Thanks a lot man ! Comments like this helps me to keep grinding hard on the content. Tons more to come in the next few weeks.

No, Silayev remains the first defenseman on my board. It has been the case all year. I would have love to make a video on him but I've been said that KHL-related content are all removed from KZfaq.

@@SimonSt-L-Scouting Are you planning on making a post or tweet with a summary of your thoughts? I'd be interested in hearing them, so would love to hear if there's a plan to do so or not.

@@praisethepuck I'll have a lenghty written profile on him in the ranking I'll post. I'm working hard on it, should have close to 50 000 words.

Merci beaucoup ! Pareillement, je ne le voyais pas du même oeil en début de saison.

Merci beaucoup ! Pour des raisons obscures, c'est beaucoup plus difficile parler seul face au mur. Je suis meilleur en conversation. Quand je réécoute mes vidéos je jurerais entendre quelqu'un qui vient de boire deux bouteilles de Benadryl 😂

Thanks man. Not a whole lot of occasion to practice in Gaspésie haha.

Pleasure is mine. Congrats for getting him at the lottery.

Not if the wild pick him before

@@PrestonPrestige2112 I hope that’s true. I’d love to have Yakemchuck instead

@@damageinc346 haven’t watched his highlights but I don’t doubt he’s a great prospect

Thank you so much ! It means the world !

@@YvonjrPierre-mb9hp That would be a sight to behold !

Oui c'est dans les plans ! En fin de semaine sera Macklin Celebrini puisque la loterie est la semaine prochaine. Ensuite Yakemchuk, Levshunov et après ce sera Sennecke. Donc, si tout va bien, Vendredi le 17 mai !

Thanks ! I wouldn't go as far as to say he lacks agility, but he isn't very slippery like Konsta Helenius or Beckett Sennecke, for example. It's something I like for a player who makes a lot of plays coming from the board (which is the case for Marques), If I recall correctly, his footwork while pressured isn't an issue, he doesn't stop moving his feet.

Glad you appreciated it ! I'm not sure how much it's going to hinders him at the next-level, but from what I've saw, Buium is already a bit thick upper-body wise and I'm not sure he has a lot of room left for physical growth. It,s not like a guy like Jiricek who is very frail but you simply don't know IF he's going to put on the mass necessary. Buium does like to engage the body tho and I appreciate that. I'm supposed to make one on Levshunov shortly. I wasn't very productive the last 3 weeks, got very busy with work and I was prioritizing finnishing my views on the CHL playoffs for my future writing and video content.

Thanks !

No, not really. A few times with clients to better show them their mechanical flaws during a movement but usually I don't work with videos.

Cheers !

Thank you so much. It means a lot ! Yeah I think I've corrected the issue in the next few videos. Sorry for the incovenient. If I can, I'll definitly put Wet Sand in one video haha. Probably my 2nd favourite song from them.

Thanks man !

He is for me, but mainly because some people see him as an offensive juggernaut and as a top 5-8 pick. I think he's definitely a positive contributor for his team at the NCAA level. But in the NHL, the defense project as average and I don't think his offense is that good to project him on a PP1. That looks more like a number 4 for me. Still a top 15 pick however.

@@SimonSt-L-Scouting Understood. That makes a lot of sense! How do you think are the top 3 players the Habs should target at #5?

@@realbeetlejuice Lindstrom, Demidov, Iginla.

@@SimonSt-L-Scouting Not a big fan of Catton for Montreal?

@@realbeetlejuice No. Way too soon for me. He's in the teens on my list. I admired what he has accomplished this season but looked at players with similar profile than him from the last few seasons. They still haven't panned out or aren't playing much in the playoffs.
