"He makes consistently good decisions with the puck, plays through heavy traffic, and gets a high volume of shots in dangerous areas."
With the No. 66 pick in the 2021 #NHLDraft, the Anaheim Ducks select LW Sasha Pastujov of the NTDP.
https://t.co/9Cs4dAEemd
"His stride power and top speed is a sticking point for some, but his vision is among the best in this draft class."
Because we are not covering the NHL draft, we won’t post much in the coming days to leave the space to other channels and people who do. Among which is @ShiftAI who also work in AI and do great work covering the NHL draft.
With the No. 52 pick in the 2021 #NHLDraft, the New York Islanders select C Aatu Raty of Karpat.
https://t.co/FSbGbhVPq6
"A very hard competitor who is good at everything but lacks game-breaking talent. Raty has a high motor, fast hands and a hard accurate wrist shot."
With the No. 50 pick in the 2021 #NHLDraft, the Winnipeg Jets select RW Nikita Chibrikov of SKA-1946.
https://t.co/kHuEuuftll
"One of the draft’s more purely skilled players, he is incredibly dangerous on the rush and can pull off some highlight-reel plays with the puck."
With the No. 42 pick in the 2021 #NHLDraft, the Los Angeles Kings select C Francesco Pinelli of Kitchener.
https://t.co/krjR9Tr64i
"Has the opportunity to be a stealthy player and shows it often. Pinelli is always ready to engage in the play and make his mark."
