Let's go to the Able Auctions hotline and welcome in our next guest, Will Scouch. founder of Scouching and CTO of Fractal Hockey. Will, what's going on, man? How you doing?
Well, it's good to be back, you know. It's been a little while, but I'm happy to be back, you know, feeling good.
It's the last week and a half before the draft, so, you know, Christmas time's coming, man. Yeah, no kidding. So when we get this close, does time go by faster or slower for you? Because when I was at this point in time as a kid or during Christmas, every day crawled by, it seemed like.
It's probably both because like the work kind of shifts for me from a lot of data work and information gathering to just writing, writing, writing, and more writing all day and just finalizing everything. And, you know, with the YouTube channel, just organizing the last week and, you getting all that prepared it's kind of like a bit of the calm before the storm i guess i kind of feel like maybe a parent does in early december where it's like you may have your presents done but like you know maybe not and you're just kind of wondering what it's going to be like so kind of like that corner sort of a middle ground it's kind of weird but i'm looking forward to it yeah no i can't wait for it it's like you know it's uh you have your list you check it twice you make sure you got it all right and your wishes are going to be there
And, you know, we're going to delve into the draft and a couple of things we're going to focus on right off the bat. And Vic and I were talking about two players off air. We'll start with Tyne and Lawrence, who you are very high on. And, you know, Vic and I were saying because I have some doubt, but your argument for him and watching your breakdowns reading like it's a really good argument about how hard he works. how that motor never stops, and the fact that he has shown offensive ability in the past. But how do we go about navigating the fact that his numbers were not impressive at the NCAA level, despite being a young player? But then when you watch the tape, you see the effort, you see how hard he plays, you see the impact he makes.
Where is the truth when it comes to this player?
I mean, I think that he was asked to do a lot, right? He went to BU halfway through the year. He started the season injured. He had a fantastic Lincoln-Gretzky Cup, in my opinion. People were putting him at number one on their lists here and there at that point in the year. And he looked the part. And I think with Boston University, I think a lot of it comes out when you actually really watch how that team played and what they were like when a guy like Cole Hudson wasn't very involved. And I found that that team, I think, really struggled to... stitch play together break the puck out effectively um and i think lawrence was a guy who was asked to be he was put in the position to do something that a 17 year old would probably find very difficult to do in that scenario which is sort of like stitch a line together stitch the ice together get the puck up the ice with control and i think with lawrence i mean look i think i think we look at
the Stanley Cup playoffs, I always think about the playoffs backwards. And I just look at how even the Vegas Golden Knights, right? The Carolina Hurricanes, everybody just saw them steamroll their way to a Stanley Cup final. And you watch how teams like that win in the playoffs. And Mitch Marner, yeah, had a fantastic tournament, fantastic playoffs. You know, even Jack Eichel, fantastic playoffs. But like, You see what just raw compete and effort and net-driven offense can bring you.
