Petr is defintely top 10 rn

 

[ijuka]

Well, Petr was top 3 in the off-season but his start of the season has been downright awful so his stock is dropping fast considering the kind of seasons some others are having.

Who seriously even has a list of the order of the 2023 draft?

so much is going to happen up until that point.

All we have now is some guys to watch, heck elite prospects only has 13 guys listed so far.

Anyone want to bet that 5 of the top 10 players aren't even listed yet?

Unless someone is showing generational talent at 13-14, it’s nuts to start pinning players as “top 10” this early.

Michkov is the only name worth the hype right now.

Yeah Michkov is torching Russia right now. We'll see how he holds up against international competition.

Yeah, it's going to be an interesting December and January. First, WJC and then Lausanne Games, where we'll probably see a lot of future top 2023 draft prospects.

Petr is defintely top 10 rn

OK, who are the next top 10 players?

 

[Autotuning]

Any swedish players that are interesting?

Any swedish players that are interesting?

[Autotuning]

Hunter Brzustewicz, but he's an offensive d-man

 

[Stanleyjub]

Finnish U16 national team is about to face their German equivalent tonight in Vierumäki and again on Friday and Sunday. Most of the Finnish squad is comprised of players with early 2004 birthdates but there are few exceptions for the first time this season.
(In the August games against Czech Republic all the players were 2022 draft eligible.)

Most notable prospect for the 2023 draft in this roster is probably a left-handed defenseman Arttu Kärki. He is the only 2023 eligible player who has seen regular ice-time in the Finnish U18-league so I guess he could be considered the Finnish frontrunner for the draft at this time?

Other players that are of interest to this thread included in the squad are goaltender Manu Lukkarinen who has also played few games in the U18-league already this season. Goalie getting U18-games this early before their draft season seems quite rare based on the history of the drafted Finnish goalie prospects. Also defensemen JYP U16-captain Ossi-Veikka Vuontisvaara and Topi Vuori are part of the team.

Live stream to all the games.

Borna Kopac (Täby HC, forward) - smart, skilled player from Slovenia

I was on Folke too and I can agree for Munther ( great goalie! ) and Petrini ( great 2 way player ) but Dvorsky was unrecognisable; looked slow and unmotivated. I really liked this kid Borna Kopac ( very good hockeysense and great hands ) but don’t know much about him; only that he won WSI with Czech select Anyone knows anything about this kid?? Fransén looked very good and I think he has great potential as D.

Jes I had watched Folke too, I watched every team one game and the first that comes in my eye was Borna.Very skilled, great hockey sense and speed. Can he play TV-pucken next year?

No, I think he is from Slovenia. He came to Sweden alone last year and lives with Swedish family. Guys from Täby told us that all boys in the team wants to play with him now. 2 way player and unselfish. First in G and A in Folke Cup I believe. Would be great to know more about this kid.

 

[XboX]

he is from slovenia but always played for czech knights and pro hockey.
owner of tordon hockey saw him on tournament and took him to sweden.
I think he has an offer from states but he doesn’t want to go from sweden.
Ask owner of tordon hockey, he lives with him I think.
In Falke he was really good.

 

[BKarchitect]

Really cool to hear about a Slovenian prospect with legit potential on the horizon.

I always wondered about the hockey capacity of this nation. They kind of had a golden age of players born between 1987-1990 with Kopitar of course being the shining light and not even close but Mursak was a good prospect back in the day even if he didn't meet expectations while guys like Sabolic, Ticar, Jeglic, etc have been solid European-based players. That core has led Slovenia to getting promoted to the main WC group a few times but not enough talent outside Kopitar to prevent them from being one of those yo-yo nations between the main WC group and D1A and those core guys are all in their 30's now.

If Kopac is what 14 or 15 years-old now then he's grown up with a true hockey hero in Kopitar. Could there be another good generation of Slovenian players about to start making an impact, influenced by their last good generation?
