NHL Off-Season 2017 |OT| We’ve Been Here Since October

Rookie tournaments are always a slog.

First 10 minutes it's all - oh hey that recent first rounder looks good. And wasn't that other guy the dude we drafted three years ago in the 5th round, he could be a steal! (spoiler: he'll never play in the NHL)

The rest of the game is 50 minutes of the worst, sloppiest, most disjointed hockey you'll ever see. They are only slightly more interesting than watching a single teams summer dev camp.
 
Pronman updated his ranking of the past 5 draft years. It's just how he saw the prospects *at the time they were drafted* compared to each other.

Hischier is at 22, after Mathew Barzal.

Patrick is at 24, after Pierre-Luc Dubois.

Just to give an indication of where one scout views this year versus the last 4... he doesn't seem terribly enthused.

And here I thought a game that pitted you against neo-nazis and white supremacists would be fine with everyone.

Suppose I underestimated the problems the USA is facing atm.
