I didn't say you should. Just letting him know cause he is pretty well respected at covering NHL prospects/the draft.
I only tell people where Pronman has players ranked because i figure they would be interested in his opinion.

Liljegren will definitely be this year's Chychrun....
He just have bad u18 .,we don't know why. Just trast Haakim, he knows better
Watching footage of Necas, I'm not very impressed. He seems sound overall except he doesn't seem to have any finishing ability....then again I'm no scoutAnyone else feel that way? I also think most of the players projected to go before #9OA
I'm really hoping we take Pettersson...or Liljegren.
Despite the problems the Red Wings have I still think they draft quite well and can get the steal of the top 10. We just need more elite picks....which we'll have better shots at the next several seasons.
No, but I don't see him as a pure goal scorer either.

Ideally Glass, Mittelstadt or Makar. I could even see Vilardi slipping a bit (not far mind you) if teams don't consider him a center. I am expecting a very fluid draft.

I would be pretty pumped at getting Glass or Vilardi. Mittelstadt would be great too. Makar scares me.

My Favourite list and draft plan:
RD1: #9 C Martin Necas, right-handed playmaking two-way center
RD2: #38 W Joni Ikonen, right-handed skilled sniper, guy has lethal wrister
RD3: #71 RD Eemeli Räsänen Right-handed 6'7 giant
RD3: #79 Goaltender
RD3: #83 Defenceman
RD3: #88 Defenceman
RD4: #100 F Parker Foo (to secure free agent Spencer Foo sign with us) Two guys with one shot...
RD5: #131 some Swede HÃ¥kan Andersson likes much
RD6: #162 Defenceman
RD6: #164 Defenceman
RD7: #193 some long long long shot Goaltender

I haven't watched any of this years top prospects play only highlights so I can't judge. I have read a couple of legit folks compare Rasmussen's potential to Kopitar. Has anyone here actually watched him in games? I wonder how high Hakan has him rated. TSN in there final rating have him #9
Rasmussen is a NA skater so Hakan would have little, if any, involvement in drafting him. I think it is a bit of a stretch comparing him to Kopitar. I'd say Hanzal is probably a more apt comparison

Vatican Roulette
Baile de Los Locos
Big, hard shot, physical. Decent enough skating, has some flaws on defense.
Lots of potential, boom or bust.
Probably gone in the 2nd.

Wouldn't hate him, depending on who's left.
EDIT: Glass, Mittelstadt, Necas, Pettersson, then Suzuki.

It looks like Mittelstadts stock has been falling slightly here, I guess it's not out of the question that he could be available when we pick at #9.

If Holland wants that extra 1st maybe something around our #9+#38 pick to Vegas for their #13+#15 pick and take Suzuki+Foote that wouldn't be too shabby either but i suspect Holland wants to take a Goalie like maybe Oettinger with that other 1st rounder.

I like our team?
Unless it's a goalie prospect coming into the draft being hyped like Brodeur or Price, I don't want to see the Wings spend any first rounders on goalies. I'm still salty about the McCollum pick.

I take everything said before the draft with a large grain of salt. And I tend to disregard half of what HSJ writes anyway. Having said that:
I like the notion that they're not ruling anything out, and that, overall, they see a need to start more defensemen. I just don't want them spending significant assets to move up, with how murky this draft class is.
I mean, if they're totally sold on a center who's still there at 7 or 8, and they can move up 1-2 slots fairly cheaply, then sure. But no major expenditures, when everybody's draft board is all over the map to begin with.
