Prospect Info: 2020 Leafs Board Prospect Rankings #10

[Schenn]

I will make a thread every day until we have determined the top 20 prospects according to Leaf fans on HFBoards for I think my 10th straight year. The criteria for a prospect will be loosely based on Calder eligibility. There may be a couple that slip through the cracks the first few posts because I am not perfect. Also please let me know if I have someone listed that is no longer with us, or any omissions. Comprehensive prospect lists are a little harder to find than you'd think this time of year.

Rankings:
1. Rasmus Sandin -- 48.4%
2. Nicholas Robertson -- 83.5%
3. Timothy Liljegren -- 53.8%
4. Rod Iron Amirov -- 94.3%
5. Mikhail Abramov -- 36.5%
6. Filip Hallander -- 32.4%
7. Yegor Korshkov -- 47.2%
T-8. Joey Anderson -- 27.7%
T-8. Nick Abruzzese -- 27.7%
10.

[Magic Man]

Little Roni's turn.

Add Duszak.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Hirvonen. I would've had him after Nick. Anderson would've been #10 for me. Niemela could easily go here too. Trusting our draft team on this one; they picked Hirvonen first so I will too.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Hirvonen and Niemela neck and neck for me. Then it's Kokkonen's turn.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

I like Niemela more than Hirvonen so I take him. Both deserve to be in the top 10 more than Abruzzese though.

 

[Advanced stats]

Gotta trust Kyle on this one. Roni

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Hirvonen.

I take him right after Abramov, tbh.

 

[namttebih]

Should Noel Hoefenmayer be on this list?

 

[Ashdown2]

Hirvonen.

I take him right after Abramov, tbh.

agreed the 6+ list is all messed up

 

[Morgs]

Niemela
Hirvonen
Kokkonen

 

[Maplebeasts]

Joey Anderson over Niemela, Hirvonen and Kokkonen? Really? Those 3 should have all been gone by the time this poll closes.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Hirvonen, trusting our scouting on this one.

Are we leaving #8 as a tie?
Should be a tie-breaker, and my vote goes to Anderson for that

I like Hirvonen and Niemela more than Anderson also. But I'm curious why you're upset with Anderson on the list but not Korshkov, when Anderson has been better every year compared to him, including the NHL and is younger.

 

[Canada4Gold]

It's weird. I don't hate Anderson where he went but looking at it from a value standpoint, 2 guys here were just picked with the 59th and 64th picks. When we traded for Anderson it definitely felt like people would have preferred a pick in that range over him. Maybe just a vocal minority, or we've become more informed since then.

Similar thing for Korshkov. Obviously he went way higher at 31 when he was picked. But if he's going ahead of guys picked 59 and 64 here then in hindsight it wasn't a huge failure in value. Obviously specific players DeBrincat and Hart were guys some people preffered. But just looking at value.

Oh don't worry I'm not a big fan of Korshkov over them either. I do however like Korshkov more than Anderson though because he's much bigger while still being relatively skilled. He was pretty good with the Marlies when he came over last season and is playing great now in the K.

Yea agreed.

Makes sense.

Anderson is 2 years younger and had a stronger AHL season. Korshkov being more than a 4th liner would really surprise me, and I think Anderson is at least just as much of a safe bet to make the NHL

Here's a random list of players:
-Kasperi Kapanen
-Oliver Bjorkstrand
-Denis Guryanov
-Josh Anderson
-Andreas Johnsson
-Connor Brown
-Tyler Bertuzzi
-Lukas Wallmark
-JT Compher

It's players who produced primary points at a lower rate in the AHL than Joey Anderson in their D+4 seasons, and went on to be more than 4th line players. that's not to say it's a guarantee that Anderson will join them, but it's some players we can look at and be hopeful he'll follow suit. The list of D+6 players who produced worse than Korshkov and went on to be more than a 4th liner pretty much doesn't exist

Here's to hoping you're right. I'm all for whatever helpful NHLers we can get.

 

[aingefan]

Totally missed the Abruzzese vote. I woulda had him below the Finns.

Hirvonen for me.

 

[HockeyGuruPitka]

i voted scott. Im extremely high on him as a goalie. obviously derailed by last season, but i expect him to start sky rocketing up the charts

 

[uncleben]

Should Noel Hoefenmayer be on this list?

Not until he signs

 

[namttebih]

Not until he signs

I thought that he had for some reason.

 

[namttebih]

Not one Canadian in top 10-possibly top 15.

 

[supermann_98]

Gotta trust Kyle on this one. Roni

He definitely pumped his tires when drafting him so let’s see. So far so good from what I’m reading and seeing highlights

 

[uncleben]

I thought that he had for some reason.

Signed with the Marlies but no NHL deal
