kipperluongo is actually right and for awhile around the time datszyuk was drafted the wings had the most "interest" in european skaters they scouted alot there and thats how they got datsyuk in the 5th round and that hapened with lidstrom and zetterburg too i dont like the red wings at all but there smart lmao and btw goalies dont never get drafted high my coach dave depinto was drafted 1st overall in the 1989 NHL supplementary draft (entry draft) hes a goalie
You're confusing NHL Central Scouting, and a teams personal scouts.
NHL Central Scouting are the guys who go out, and rank the top "Sure Fire Prospects" for the upcoming draft.
The Red Wings team personal scouts don't submit a scouting report to anybody. They are strictly confidential to the team they work for. After your Sidney Crosbys. and Ovechkins are picked, your team selects players usually it has looked at, and liked. My point is the Wings are good at this. Finding the gems in Europe.
i've used a dolomite and a shogun... the dolomite costs more but is worth it... i broke em both in the same game... but i got the shogun like 9 months later and it broke from bein jammed when i got hit from behind... so go eith the dolomite
lolll, yeahhhh, type SRC feature on Kovalev (on youtube). and listen carefully him and his beautiful wife clearly say that they will establish themselves for good in Montreal after he retires !!!
i broke my s17....took a slapshot from point flew al the way 2 the corner.. my dad being the coach started 2 laugh so now i am thinking of getting kronick 4 backup
I think Detroit might be an overall better team. But I think Malkin and Crosby have way more talent. Just because Datsyuk and Zetterberg have been in the NHL longer doesn't mean a lot.
detroit has a thing called defense (lindros) which wins stanley cups ......id take datsyuk and zetter because they are defenseive minded offensemen and as a goalie i like that
Look at where Pavel Datsyuk was drafted. Detroit picks excellent players. How did the entire rest of the League miss Datsyuk? He would've been easily a top 3 pick.
Yeah, but my point was, the peerless scouting staff of the Detroit Red Wings ability to pick out the gems more consistently. Even Johan Franzen who is like a 35 Goal scorer and is a phenom in the playoffs breaking MANY Playoff scoring records. Ville Leino another prospect.
I know there are lots of late drafted gems, and even many guys who went undrafted who emerged as scoring touch players.
I think you misunderstood me. I wasn't trying to be a jerk. Sorry if you misunderstood.
no they were crap before they were drafted, when they got into the nhl they got good. Has nothing to do with how awesome the scouts were, if the scouts believed in him that much they would've drafted him in the first round.
They weren't crap before they got into the NHL. They were Professionals, just overlooked, and unscouted. Pavel Datsyuk is a top 3 player in the NHL these days, and nobody was looking at him, due to how remote his team was, scouts just didn't get there. Somebody from the Wings did though.
they weren't overlooked, his first seasons he wasn't very good but he kept going and now he is a great player. People seem to forget that datsyuk wasn't always amazing
You're wrong. Detroit just doesn't shove young players(like some teams, COUGH Pittsburgh) into huge roles early. When Datsyuk first arrived, it was Yzerman, Federov and Shannahan carrying the load. He got VERY limited ice time, with those 3 hall of famers, and at times was even a healthy scratch. His talent was undeniable, and limitless even in his early days, he was just protected until he was ready.
Dude they obviously didn't have much confidence in him if he was selected in the 5th round, if the scouts did see his future being this they would've picked him in the first round
Nah, he was a rare unknown gem. Why use your first round pick on a guy who isn't going to be drafted at all? Use a late round pick to snag up such talent. To do it any other way would be stupid. It was perfect. Same thing with Zetterberg, another later round pick, who flourished in Detroits system.
I'm not even a Wings fan really, but I gotta give them credit. That's why they won all those Championships and are always contenders, being smart.
dude the way the draft works is that all the scouts put in there reports for every player eligible for draft. From there the europeans and north americans are separated. Then they rank them from best skater to worst skater(skater meaning player) for example john tavares was ranked #1 in north american skaters. Datsyuk wasn't rated very high and was picked in the fifth round. has nothing to do with how good the scouts are they draft based on the nhl central scouting rankings
honestly i cant disagree more...if u think someone will be as good as datsyuk u dont take him in 5th round u take him in 3rd..players that are taken in 5th and more round are player u hope will be better than what they are suposed to be...like luc robitaille...its not a great move simply luck...
No actually there was more players that topped Datsyuk when he first played for the wings, Fedorov, Yzerman, Shanahan, Larionov, Hull, Robitaille, Lidstrom.....he was a 4th liner, today He's an All-Star first liner with a 100+ season and a stanley cup.....i'd say he gets the C when Lidstrom hangs up the skates.
No, its because he sucked, and his team was in Moscow, Dynamo Moscow that is, and his body shape was terrible, he was littl,e weak and was on the bench more of the time.....but the Wings got him and made him who he is today, just as Lidstrom, Zetterberg, Fedorov, and all the likes.....Wings are awesome in building players and scouting out un developed talent.
wth are u talking about..datsyuk is a lucky draft nothing more...patrick roy is a rare gem that the habs scouted and nobody else saw...if they knew how great datsyuk was he wouldnt have been took in 5th round...
Datsyuk wasn't a lucky draft. Wings scouting team were eye balling him for awhile, and actually saw him while they went to scout for other players. They knew nobody wanted Datsyuk
He played on such an obscure Russian team scouts RARELY got there. I've got a documentary on it. Datsyuk is the biggest gem every found in any draft. Considering he's probably the most complete player on both ends of the ice of all times.
Roy was a goalie. Goalies NEVER went early. Everybody knew Roy's brillance.
two goalie went before roy...and datsyuk like luc robitaille was a lucky draft...and btw the bigest gems are :brett hull mark messier luc robitaile roy and someone else and its not coming from my personal opinion its in an article...this same article wrote that datsyuk is in the best draft choice for the active players...
Seriously, Alexei Kovalev really has everything to be happy... He's paid 4,5 millions a year to play hockey, he's got a plane to fly, and the best fans in the NHL (Montréal).
I loved this ad when it was in magazines. I loved the guy back when he was on my hometown Rangers and I still like watching play. One of the sickest stickhandlers in the NHL.
he's also in a lot of charity event. Every summer he hold's a hockey tournament for his Foundation for poor children in Russia.
He and his wife are doing a lot for childrens in Montreal too, he has a lounge at the Bell Centre which is called Kovy's Corner, and at every game theres sick kids from Ste-Justine children's hospital,who have the chance to watch the game, get gifts and meet him.
IN MONTREAL UNTIL YOUR 50 YEARS OLD, THATS WHAT YOU TOLD US !!!
The guy is my favorite player of all time. He helped us win a cup in 1994 and i dont care where he plays, he is still one of the leagues best. No doubt he is a pimp.
