Ну вот и закончился для Миннесоты летний драфт. Что же удалось заполучить на наших 86-м и 105 выборах? Итак, встречайте)
HIGH-END NHL PROSPECT2. Lucas Elvenes, RW, Rogle-SHLВторой по силе проспект Вегаса.
Elvenes had a breakout season, putting up fantastic numbers between Sweden’s top division and second division pro league for a young 18-year-old. He’s a player with a high skill level who can create a lot of offense. Elvenes is always looking to make a skilled play. He has very good offensive instincts, showing the ability to make incredible passes at a pro pace. Although when I watched him I saw a few too many overly risky plays/bad turnovers, you take a lot of the good with some of the bad. One big reason for his improvement was an addition to his foot-speed. He was an OK skater in his draft year, but he’s added some more speed to his game.
LEGIT NHL PROSPECT2. Jordy Bellerive, C, Lethbridge-WHLВторой в рейтинге проспектов Питтсбурга.
Bellerive could be one of the best post-draft free agent signings of the past few years. The former second-overall pick in his WHL bantam draft was very impressive from Penguins camp through the end of the WHL season. Bellerive is a well-rounded prospect. He skates quite well, he’s got a lot of skill and intelligence, he has a big shot and he works hard. He can make an impact on either special team and play both center and wing. I don’t know if he’ll be dynamic enough to be a legit top-six scorer in the NHL, but it’s certainly possible with the way he thinks the game. He was involved in a scary incident off the ice during the summer where he was burned, but he should make a recovery.
