Un très bon sur l'importance de choisir le BPA et l'approche actuel de HuGo et compagnie.

«I think for a market like MTL BPA doesn't really work and we've seen a lot of examples of that during MB's/TT's tenure. Of course BPA will be different for a pro NHL scouting list relative to an amateur list but I think the main thing that amateur lists can't/don't factor in is the mental side of these prospects. And by amateur I mean everyone that isn't working for a NHL team.
You really need to be plugged into the business/be at ground level to understand who the real prospects are compared to the ones that have a lot of "fluff" (prospects who have more flash than substance).
The best NHL teams understand that the name of the game in scouting is resources, the more resources you have invested the more high quality info you can gather (you can dedicate ppl to various specific tasks/your personnel is higher quality/u can hire who u want/this creates a good work culture etc.).
Of course non NHL scouts don't have that info so you should just view lists purely from a hockey talent standpoint.. it's mainly just gossip . Basically the evaluation is done on everything you can see, no evaluation is done on what you can't see. The latter is where BPA will change drastically on NHL lists relative to amateur lists, even maybe big market NHL teams vs smaller market ones.
When you have that in place finding talent is 1 thing but then you need to dig deep to see which ones are 100% dedicated to the game, that's 1 of the most important aspects that amateur scouts can't really have a feel for. For a big market team this aspect is much more important vs other small market teams.
Prospects that get distracted and lose focus (and this isn't something that you can really train, you either have it or not based on your life experiences) won't flourish as well in this market. That's why BPA based on hockey skills isn't enough, you need to factor in BPA + their mental fortitude as well. I think this is the biggest change I've seen with our recent management, they prioritize that aspect a lot and it's been showing in the result.
Whoever we end up picking might not be the BPA in terms of pure hockey talent/package but you can be sure he'll be 1 of the best in terms of hockey package + dedication to the game. If that ends up being a Dman then so be it.»
Le CH a besoin de 2 attaquants élites robustes pour débuter la saison 26-27.
Il ne peut attendre. Dès 26-27, le CH doit pouvoir être capable de gagner une ronde.
Le timer est parti.
C'est la 6e saison de CAR en série. Ils n'ont pas gagné la coupe ou atteint la finale et déjà, ils devront se débarasser de leur 4e compteur Necas.
CH peut aller chercher son Pavelski en signant Crosby pour un. Pour l'autre, il doit le repêcher.
Pis le talent élite se trouve au top du draft et c'est le dernier draft où le CH sera dans le top.
C'est bien beau Parekh ou un autre défenseur, mais le CH ne peut attendre le draft 2025 pour ramasser l'autre attaquant élite. En plus , ce sera un pick12-14, un jeune qui n'est pas dans l'élite et qui n'aura un impact qu'en 28-29.
Si le CH n'obtient pas un attaquant élite du draft 2024 dirrctement, il doit faire un échange avant la saison 26-27 pour obtenir l'attaquant manquant repêché aux drafts 2022 à 2024.
En 26-27, un jeune du draft 2021 coûtera trop cher. Un jeune du draft 2025 ne sera pas prêt.
Le CH ne peut pas juste accumuler des joueurs sans tenir compte de ce que sera ses actifs prévisibles en 26-27.
Faut tenir compte du CBA2013.
Il y a un cap et les jeunes deviennent autonomes après 7 saisons ou à 27ans. La fenêtre de performance doit être
