Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast · No. 638 - 2026 Entry Draft Recap, Pt. 2 · 10 Aug 2026 podcast

So that should tell you like the delta between fifteen and thirty-five uh is is huge.

And so there's a lot of upside for him, but it it's a question of whether he reaches that upside.

I know there are people out there who are like, Oh, but what about Kevin Korczynski and what about Archim Levchinov?

And it's like

I think Chicago has learned their lesson about drafting this player archetype too high.

I think anyone would agree with you that Levchanov was drafted much too high.

They could have had Bedard and Demodov uh on the line for the next fifteen years and chose not to do that.

Huge mistake.

Uh and then you look at the rest of the defense and that they draft and and it's a whole lot of you know

Not a whole lot of upside.

You get NHL defenders for sure, but nobody who can really, you know, run a power play or or even be someone that's remotely interesting at five on five offensively.

So uh, you know, I don't think we're gonna, you know, there's potential certainly for a Korczynski or for Levchinov to develop against some of their deficiencies in the same way that Xavier Villeneuve.

But I think out of those three, I would prefer Xavier Villeneuve and I think he's the one

out of the three that is most likely to give you that kind of top ten upside.

Yeah, I think uh you're the things you're hearing about him are because of two numbers, and that is six seven, as in six foot seven.

He's big, right?

He's a very big boy.

Uh and he's certainly one of the more unique players in the draft.

I think there's

NHL scouts are gonna go watch a six foot seven center uh you know play in junior.
