Re: 2022 NHL Draft thread
25288. Michael Buchinger, LHD, GUELPH (OHL)
April 25, 2004 | 6′ 0″ | 181 pounds
Tier: Has a chance to play games
Skating: NHL average
Puck skills: NHL average
Hockey sense: Below NHL average
Compete: NHL average
Background: Buchinger was a top-four defenseman for Guelph, often lining up on both special teams. He saw his stock rise into a likely NHL draft pick after being a second-round pick in his OHL Draft.
Analysis: Buchinger is a solid all-around defenseman. His skating isn’t explosive, but it’s good enough for him to be a useful pro. He can skate pucks out of trouble and can close gaps on checks well. Buchinger shows good flashes of skill and offensive playmaking, especially off the rush. I don’t think he’s a natural puck-mover, though. Combine average offense with average size and I’m not sure where he fits on an NHL team, but there’s enough to his game for him to have a shot.

254Not a fan of the Blues draft at this point. Guess I have several years before I can change my mind.
Pretty disappointed right now.

120. Arseni Koromyslov, LHD, SKA ST. PETERSBURG 2 (RUSSIA-JR.)
November 3, 2003 | 6′ 3″ | 180 pounds
Tier: Projected to play NHL games
Skating: NHL average
Puck skills: Below NHL average
Hockey sense: NHL average
Compete: Above NHL average
Background: Koromyslov didn’t put up big numbers this season in the Russian junior league but he was a top player for one of the best MHL teams. He also made appearances in the KHL, for Russia’s U20 team (including making the world juniors club), and for Russia’s senior team.
Analysis: Koromyslov is a big left-shot defenseman who is a strong skater. Due to his reach and mobility he kills a lot of rushes. He’s a smart defender who anticipates plays well and uses his skating to jump up and pressure opponents. He also doesn’t shy away from the physical play with his big frame. With the puck Koromyslov won’t dazzle. He has good flashes of stickhandling and passing but it’s not consistent. I think there’s just enough offense to be a third-pair defenseman given his physical tools.

262For what it’s worth, I just called Army on the bat phone and told him to take both of them. The fact that we don’t have a 7th round pick is a bit of a fly in the ointment, but Army will work around that!

268That kid that went 221 to Florida was ranked in the 60’s by Central scouting. It’s a crap shoot for sure.
Really love what Seattle and Columbus did. I think the Hawks had a very good draft as well as did Montreal. The Kraken absolutely killed it though.
