2020 NHL Draft

Colaiacovo has some weird takes on players.
Click to expand...

He had a decent start in the media world as a fresh faced former player but he's pretty much devolved into the standard Toronto media personality who says things like "I don't know anything about the player they just drafted but I can tell you it was a bad pick" and then get miffed when people call that stupid.
 
Just noticed Amirov is playing on the same team as Soshnikov. Sosh was one of the top goal scorers in the KHL last season and has 11 points in 7 games this season. Wonder if he'll be interested in another shot at the NHL next season.
 
Looking back at the top of the draft for a moment, it always confused me that there was really any debate around who LA might pick at 2: Byfield or Stutzle. Before I really looked into the prospect group this year very much I knew that Byfield was generally speaking the concensus #2 so when Stutzle entered into the conversation I assumed that it was him who was the big centre and that's why LA would have been more interested. But Byfield is the big (and very skilled) C and Stutzle is the smaller offensive winger. If LA did do a lot of flip-flopping on that pick I wonder what the reasoning was.

I'll be amazed if he's close to the mark, difficult to predict what each team will take in all those spots and who's available for Leafs.

I read someplace that Stutzle plays center.  Some wing...

Stutzle plays for the team in the DEL, Adler Mannheim, that is owned by the LA Kings' parent company.

Edit: AEG owns Eisbaren Berlin, so why am I propagating this. Maybe it's just, AEG owns a DEL team, the league where Tim Stutzle plays. There.

Milstein also noted Amirov is actually closer to 6-foot-1 and 185 pounds ? not the 6-foot, 167 pounds the NHL has him listed at.

A reminder for anyone wondering when the Leafs next picks are.

Good article. I have to think that the signability factor is less of an issue with Milstein and the fact that Amirov isn't locked into a long contract in the KHL.

Yeah, I mean relationships with agents can be volatile over time but it seems like the Leafs have a good relationship with Milstein and his clients right now.  They have treated their players well.  Things like Dubas staying with Mikheyev after his injury go a long way to building trust with an agent for his future clients.  I wouldn't be shocked if he comes to NA next year when his contract is up...I also wouldn't be shocked if he stays in Europe/Asia for another year.

He comes off as a clown sometimes with his stupid comments. One of his latest is the Leafs need to play hardball with Mikheyev. No way you can pay this guy 3 mill or whatever stupid number he pulled out of mid air. Um, no kidding and the Leafs aren't going to offer him that so get off your rant and sit down.

Robertson outscored Jack Quinn in far fewer games played (55G/86PTs in 46GP vs 52G/89PTs in 62GP). They're about 1 week apart (Sept 11 vs Sept 19).
