Here ya go. Maybe old habits don't die. Plus new inspiration maybe with the changes.

Won't be doing a list like last year. Just copy and paste of certain players that catch my eye during the season. Bolded parts for you to scroll through.

David Jiricek, RHD, HC Plzen (Czech) 6'3" 190 lb

David Jiricek continues to impress in the top Czech league, showing off his excellent two-way ability. He knows how to use his size to his advantage, with his long reach and physicality being a big part of his defensive game. With the puck, he’s a strong passer with good vision, while also displaying a natural ability to lead the zone exits and entries. He could stand to improve his skating, but looks to be a solid first-round pick so far in his draft year.

Ryan Chesley, RHD, USNTDP (USHL) 6' 194 lb

Along with Casey, Ryan Chesley has been a strong presence on the National Team Development Program's back end this season. The defender has a powerful stride, complemented by his booming physical presence. He shows an excellent, consistent ability to separate attackers from the puck. He defends the rush very well and looks very strong in his decision-making, even under pressure. His upside might not be as high as teammate Casey’s, but they’re very close right now and Chesley’s game should translate very well to the NHL level.

Filip Bystedt, LH C, Linkoping HC (SHL) 6'4" 197 lbs

Filip Bystedt is a big, two-way center that uses his power and strength to his advantage every shift, dictating play and controlling opponents with his size. He also displays great puckhandling skill, something you might not expect with a player of his size. He protects the puck very well and is incredibly hard to strip the puck from. Bystedt has shown great improvements so far this season and could continue to rise if it continues.

Simon Forsmark, LHD, Orebro HK (SHL) 6'2" 194 lb

Simon Forsmark has been bouncing between the J20 Nationell and SHL this season, but the defender has proven too good for the junior league -- collecting over point-per-game so far. He plays like a veteran, with maturity and confidence very evident in his game. His decision-making is excellent and his ability to get the puck out of danger stands out in his play. He shows strong awareness in both ends of the ice and isn’t afraid to get physical when needed. An NHL team could bite early to make sure they land the promising defender.

Owen Beck, RHC, Steelheads (OHL) 6' 190 lb

Knee-surgery and a lengthy recovery period for Plzen RHD David Jiricek, who is a projected top-15 pick in the 2022 NHL draft. Injury came from the collision with Will Cuylle at the WJC on Dec. 26


Steve Kournianos
@TheDraftAnalyst
Doubtful it impacts his draft stock. Rielly's a good example of a dman who missed most of his draft season with a knee injury but still went high.

I'm pro-Jiricek, who you want in the trenches. Nimble, mean, intimidating, & a real leader. Plzen relied on him in tough situations.

Left wing, Jan Bday, 6'1" 190 lbs

Joel Eriksson Ek

Got good pace, got some size. Has been struggling to score in the SHL this season.

If you are looking at drafting Ohgren, best comparison to me would be the winger version of Joel Eriksson Ek. Maybe a slight bit less defensive but with more offence.

Someone I think would be a good long term pick in the 18-25 range.

One of the top prospects for the 2022 draft–at least before the recent invasion of Ukraine poured doubt onto the futures of all Russian prospects–was Ivan Miroshnichenko, a brilliant skater that combines good size with uncanny offensive instincts.

The Russian Ice Hockey Federation announced this morning that the young forward has been diagnosed with a serious health issue and could miss the entire 2022-23 season. He is currently receiving medical treatment in Germany, while the exact diagnosis has not been confirmed.

Draft eligible players that aren't just listed centers but taking face off's in the CHL leagues. 600 plus face-offs attempted. As of March 3, 2022

Good write up on a big tall RHD

Players I seem to like more than others this season. Might be a bit of bias due to team needs. Also I like more players but not as much. Many others will become good players that are not on this list. Also players on this list will suck too.
