Zoom meetings, Google Hangouts, Skype, these are all the ways people are getting together in a social distancing world. If you’re still working, no doubt that has become kind of a regular part of the job. A while back, the Buffalo Sabres raised eyebrows around the NHL when they cut loose most of their scouting staff and instead implemented remote scouting program.
In a ‘people’ business, especially those that evaluate young talent, it was tough for people to wrap their minds around the fact that evaluation would be done remotely via video only. It seemed strange, but how many of you were using Zoom weekly or daily for work meetings two months ago. While some of you probably have, for the vast majority it was uncharted waters and now its just another part of your job.
Eventually the Sabres brought back scouts and joined the long-standing tradition of having human eyes watch players perform in person than simply scrolling through streams of games. Yet, the fact it went that far demonstrates how far that medium has come along from the days of grainy footage garnered from video tape to high resolution cameras that can focus in on the smallest of details. No doubt, today’s NHL scouts probably do a bit of both; piling on the the miles going to games and also watching from afar. Now, those same scouts are meeting virtually to try to help their clubs come up with a draft board. And with no Memorial Cup and playoffs to attend I have a feeling scouts might be pouring over video more than they normally would.
For myself, I don’t spend too much time thinking about the upcoming draft until NHL Central Scouting releases its final rankings. While its one of the first draft rankings list to be released, it kind of gives an indication of how NHL scouts see the current crop of draft hopefuls. Eventually other publications get into the mix like ISS, McKeen’s, and HockeyProspect.com just to name a few. In the past I have posted a color coded movement tracker so you can get an idea on what players are going into the draft on the rise and which ones have slipped a bit since the mid-term rankings. Here are the top 5 risers of the 2020 NHL draft crop according to NHL Central Scouting.
Top 5 Risers
1. D – Jacob Flynn (UConn, H-East) ~ (122 from 205) – The freshman defenseman was the top riser in this draft class moving up 83 spots from the mid-term rankings. The 6’0″, 180lbs, right-shot defenseman didn’t have a scorching season with just 2 goals, 9 points in 36 games but scouts are intrigued by his potential and the Bridgewater, Massachusetts-native will likely hear his named called somewhere around the 4th or 5th round.
2. D – Robert Calisti (Sault Ste. Marie, OHL) ~ (78 from 137) – Offense from the blueline can always be a significant force multiplier with any team. The smallish (5’10”, 179lbs) defenseman was an offensive force for the Greyhounds and his 18 goals no doubt was a big reason he rose 59 spots from where he was at the mid-terms.
3. C – Jake Uberti (Niagara, OHL) ~ (147 from 202) – Sometimes, trades bring greater opportunities for others who may have been playing a lesser role. The right-shot center had a decent 2nd half for the Ice Dogs after the club traded away Akil Thomas. Uberti rose 55 spots as he excited scouts with his potential and scoring touch.
4. D – David Ma (Shattuck-St. Mary’s, USHS-MN) ~ (128 from 183) – The Yonkers, New York-native is a puck moving defenseman is a commit to Princeton University. Any team is looking to develop a smart, puck moving defenseman who can also provide quality minutes in his own end and that’s why he rose 55 spots from the mid-term assessment.
5. LW – Stephen Halliday (Dubuque, USHL) ~ (123 from 178) – The North Dakota-commit brings a lot of elements NHL teams like in a forward as he has skill and size (6’4″, 220lbs). He had a reasonable season with the Dubuque Saints which is why he rose 55 places from the mid-term rankings.
For your convenience I have linked each player to their respective page on Eliteprospects.com so you can see all of the statistical data you could want as well as see how other ranking entities saw this player and you can judge for yourself. Pundits have been saying this class is pretty strong saying there is likely going to be high quality talent available through the first 3 rounds. A few small trends emerged as I was re-typing Central Scouting’s Final Rankings. You don’t often see two players from the same major junior team represented in the rankings consecutively but you have Marco Rossi and Jack Quinn at #6 & #7 respectively from Ottawa and Windsor’s Jean-Luc Foudy and William Cuylle at #33 & #34. A little farther down form there you’ll see four U.S. National Development Team players in a row from #42 to #45. Its probably more coincidental than anything but I thought it was interesting.
No matter what I hope this movement tracker is helpful to you and I’d love to hear from you about the draft so feel free to contact me via the comment section below or on Twitter @CreaseAndAssist.
My color coding system goes as follows.
+2 / -2 ~ Minimal movement
+3/+7 ~ Moderate positive movement
+8 or more ~ Significant positive movement
-3/ -7 ~ Moderate negative movement
-8 or more ~ Significant negative movement
(NR) ~ Not rated in mid-term rankings
