and again thank you to absolutely everyone watching and let's just
dive straight into it today where
the Vancouver Canucks have Adam Nevadny who is the steal of not
only the 2026 draft but of Canucks fans hearts
as Adam Nevadny continues his dominance in the OHL
where we see in his last game going for the first star
of the night Adam Nevadny has been involved in
five of the six Pete's goals,
including three himself for his first hat-trick in the OHL.
Now looking at Adam Nevadny and coming in,
of course, a very good talent that a lot of people
spoke on dropping to 24 with a sense of shock.
Looking at Adam Nevadny's numbers over the stretch
of games since going from the Vancouver Canucks training camp
to the OHL is nothing short than
incredible looking at the numbers in 25 26 65 points
in 58 games in the OHL including 34 goals
1.12 points per game going into this season 16 points
in 10 games 7 goals 9 assists 1.6 points
per game approximately 43 percent higher scoring
rate Adam Nevadny picked up right where he left off
and added juice to it because this is a kid
that continues to turn a lot of people's heads not only
from Canucks fans but his coaches
the media everything involved Adam is going to be one of
the most dominant premier players in our league
his coach speaking on of course Adam Nevadny
returning to the OHL looking at his goals
and assists as well the numbers jump up on every
metric 0.59 goals per game 0.53 goal assists
per game calculating from his 34 goals and 58 points
over his first season in the OHL Adam Novotny jumped
to 0.7 goals per game 0.9 assists per game
which is roughly about 68 percent jump
in his assist rate Adam Novotny was known as of course
a power forward that went into this draft with a complete game
and someone that of course was
known for his goal scoring he picked up
the assist rate Adam Novotny's compete levels off the charts
this is a kid that I genuinely could talk hours about
and rave because the Vancouver Canucks
might have got their best piece
in the Quinn Hughes trade via draft in 2026
when drafting Adam Novotny at 24.
Now looking at this, he's more than a finisher,
which going into the draft, a lot of scouts kind of pegged him as.
Passing growth broadens his offensive game,
his returning to junior, of course,
which a lot of people thought maybe might have
been a good thing for his game,
which it hell was.
This is a kid that continues working on every bit of his development
and even diving in.
he's an elite athlete everything you look
at with Adam Novotny shows that this guy is building a pro
style and someone that's motor is off
the charts now looking at Nick Smith coming in with the
scouting report before Adam Novotny
was drafted he already has that NHL frame and his motor and
compete level are off the charts we've seen a lot
of this come out of the draft with Ryan Johnson
and the Vancouver Canucks drafting guys
with high compete good character and a great motor
Looking at this draft from Adam Novotny,
Kellen Malhotra, 3rd overall, Brooks Rogowski,
these guys had a compete level that a lot of prospects didn't have
and that's not bashing on any prospects in any system but this is a guy
that has everything, a jack of all trades, constantly escapes pressure
by chaining crossovers, the skating, the shooting, the assists,
everything Adam Novotny has been building to translate
to the NHL level like a T and looking at it, winning puck battles,
going in and using the skating
for pressure creating more pressure going to the board
battles we've seen it displayed in the NHL during
the preseason this is a guy that works out and
pucks drives the middle of the ice
and finishes plays with a legitimate release again Canucks
fans i don't know how much i can truly say about
Adam Novotny without fans drooling over this kid
and his potential coming into the NHL
in the near future someone that continues his dominance i mean
even going and looking at that draft this is a guy
that came in a pick number 24 Caleb Mahalter
again doesn't get the flowers
because he's playing in the NCAA not coming to the Canucks training
camp because of his contract with the NCAA
but the Canucks came out with a hell of a draft and
Ryan Johnson and the Sedins truly hats off
to what they've added even Yaroslav Berskalov playing
with Medicine Hat with the twins
that of course we wish we got Brooks Rogowski at six foot seven
even Niels Amund Olsen all these guys have a legitimate weapon
and that is compete with
shooting this is a draft that's going to go back
and looking at Adam Novotny and his continuing
brilliance he sustains his early season production
a lot of people looked at Adam Novotny his first
game a dominant first game
but he's continued on I'm excited to play with those guys Adam Novotny
loves what he's continuing to build
and even looking at the growth the playmaking is becoming
a bigger part of the profile something that a lot of Canucks fans
when looking at Adam Novotny
sleep on of course the shot incredible the release
this is why this kid got drafted so high is the
compete level in the release
but adding these extra tools to his game again I'm going to run
the goal clip of him scoring his hat trick
and an absolute elite celebrations on all of these we
see the enthusiasm this final hat trick goal tap
in his head this is a kid that has the swagger
again this is someone that's going to be a huge part of the future
and someone that I think a lot
of people when looking at the Canucks
of course Jonathan Lachmacki has blossomed into a top line
center having chemistry with Pedersen Adam Novotny
is certainly putting in the work to get to that
level Braden Coots Caleb Malhotra even going all
the way to Medvedev someone the Vancouver Canucks
drafted two years ago or one year ago after
the following draft this is a kid that continues to
grow his value and his strengths adding
to his draft where yes looking at where the Canucks
had got him elite prospects ranked him 14th overall
in their scouting report not an NHL
outcome prediction but Vancouver selected him
at 24 looking like a steal of the draft it is the
steal of the draft there's no way to look at it
and we've seen Ryan Johnson speak again one thing
that I've vocalized quite a bit is the words
of character compete winning mentality three things
ryan johnson has pushed within this organization Manny Malhotra
the exact same way two guys coming
from the same piece of a pod working together
with the Abbotsford Canucks winning that championship
they knew what it took to win at the AHL level
and now adding that to a rebuilding canucks team
now am i going to sit here and say that Adam Navady
is guaranteed to make the Canucks following
the OHL season no there's probably not a good chance
as Ryan Johnson has a lot of decisions
to make Otratu already placed on waivers
and picked up via trade by the Toronto Maple
Leafs this is a team that has a lot of young guys
but Adam Navady in the near future is going to be
there and of course a team that is currently right now pretty bad
in the NHL we expected this when
looking at the Pacific playoff race the Vancouver Canucks started
her started hot versus the Edmonton
Oilers and it plateaued off to be the third team
in the Pacific just above the disgusting Calgary
Flames and the LA Kings this is a team
that is still looking to add more and looking to add a
top pick i mean going into the draft Landon
is the prize possession six assists with Michigan
over this past season a projected first overall pick there's still
a lot of talent but getting
number one would be huge for this franchise solidifying
that defense but not only that
looking at the Canucks
and again fans i push it a bunch Kayla Mahalja Adam Navady Brooks
Rogowski and even looking at the past year
which was the parting gift by Patrick Allvin and Jim
Rutherford of Braden Coots Medvedev
who struggled a bit in the OHL being traded recently from the
London Knights, Wilson Bjork, Gabe Sherratt
who was outstanding in the OHL this is a team that is
going to be a force to reckon with in the near future
but I want to know your thoughts on Adam
Navady is Adam Navady the next star player
in Vancouver is he going to be a bottom six scorer
or a top six scorer let me know your thoughts a b
or c down in the comments it's somewhere on the
screen right there let me know your thoughts on Adam Navady a b
or c future star strong top six
winger or a middle six power winger let me know
your thoughts on the comments on everything to
do around this team because again we love this team
for a reason and it's a hell of a fun thing
to talk about this team if you're enjoying
