2021 PREDATORS DRAFT

1st round, 4th overall
Pick: Jyrki Antonen, C, Left, 6’0” 171, Blues A Espoo
Boxcars: 42GP 20-28-48 (Jr A SM)

Description: Raw, two way center from Finland. Possessing good instincts in the defensive zone and the tools to be a top offensive talent, Antonen has legitimate first line potential if he can put it all toghether. Very good instincts in his own zone. Has an active stick and will frusturate opponents with his ability to break up plays. Rarely gets caught out of position. Average one on one defender. Poor physical game. Has an accurate shot, but is really only effective with it from the slot. Possesses very good passing skills but below average vision limit his upside as a playmaker. Sometimes struggles to find the open spots on the ice. Great speed coupled with average agility and acceleration make him a good skater. Needs to go to the dirty areas of the ice more often. Needs to get stronger.

Best case Scenario: 1st line center
Worst case Scenario: NHL-AHL tweener

2nd round, 34th overall
Pick: Angus Soquila, LD, Left, 6’0” 159, Portage
Boxcars: 45GP 6-14-20 (MJHL)

Description: Lanky, all-round defenseman from Manitoba. Soquila has a nice package of tools in both the offensive and defensive zone but it is his skating (or lack there of) that will determine whether or not he becomes a legitimate top 4 defenseman or a career minor leaguer. Very good one on one defender. Rarely gets caught out of position. Needs to use his stick better in the defensive zone. Despite his size, plays a very good physical game. Is a good passer and sees the ice well. Has a howitzer for a shot. Poor skater. Projects to have below average speed. Has a slow first three steps. Lets his temper get the best of him too often. Is in okay physical shape.

Pick: Niklas Khoroshun, LD, Left, 5’11 148, Vityaz
Boxcars: 3GP 0-0-0 (KHL)

Description: Small, all round defenseman from Russia. With a combination of solid defensive play and average offensive upside, Khoroshun has the tools to be a productive NHLer some day. Has an active stick in the defensive zone and frustrates his opponents with his ability to break up plays. Rarely gets caught out of position and reads the play well in his own zone. Average physical game, but serious concerns about his lack of strength make it hard to project to the NHL level. Good passer but below average vision hamper his offensive upside. Below average shot.

Pick: Andrei Beriev, RW, Right, 6’3 193, Buran
Boxcars: 42GP 10-7-17 (VHL)

Description: Raw, offensive minded winger from Russia.

6th round, 154th overall
Pick: Oliver Cameron, C, Left, 6’5 218, Brandon
Boxcars: 69GP 7-16-23 (WHL)

Boxcars: 28GP 15-21-36 (U18)

Description: Tall, lanky, defensive minded center from France. Displaying very good instincts in the defensive zone, Rodier could become an effective bottom-six checker, but it’s his offensive game that will ultimately decide his fate in the NHL. Good one on one defender. Has an active stick in his own zone and breaks up plays well. Is a wizard in the face off circle. Below average physical game. Fumbles the puck around too often. Has an accurate shot, but is only effective in close range. Is an average passer but poor vision really hampers his offensive upside. Struggles to find the open areas of the ice.
