[FirstRowUpperDeck]

If someone could post the top ten for about five years ago, I think we would probably agree our top ten keeps getting stronger and stronger under Nill. Niewy had some numbers, but these guys look more like they can be upper end players. At least, we hope.

I can recall a time when we figured the likely number of Stars prospects to hit the NHL was close to zero.....back in the day.

 

[txomisc]

going with Hansson. He looked like he had legit top 4 potential a season ago. I think theres a good possiblity he regains that form in Texas this year.

 

[LT]

Caamano for me. Kind of a hunch.

Do you really want to do this again?

If Honka doesn't make it Nill has 0 drafted players on the roster vs Ritchie Shore Faksa McKenzie Klingberg Lindell and possibly Nemeth and Oleksiak. Paul would be his only chance to be an NHL player on opening night from all his picks.

Quantity or quality, it's a rout right now. Not sure who this "we" was but it wasn't people here.

Final draft pre Nill, technically 6 drafts ago.

 

[Ghost of Kyiv]

Went with Nyberg; #4 defenseman on an organization like Frolunda as a 20 year old is deserving of a little intrigue.

 

[MBTendy]

Final draft pre Nill, technically 6 drafts ago.

Crazy to see Klingberg dropped 9 slots and was near the bottom.

Just goes to show you how unpredictable these kids can be.

 

[eartotheground]

Crazy to see Klingberg dropped 9 slots and was near the bottom.

Just goes to show you how unpredictable these kids can be.

Or how little we know

 

[Mr Misty]

I'd take 11-20 ahead of 1-10 on that list. Nobody should be surprised if 6 drafts in the future we look back at this list the same way.

 

[David Castillo]

Went with Nyberg; #4 defenseman on an organization like Frolunda as a 20 year old is deserving of a little intrigue.

Nyberg and Caamano is the correct ranking dilemma here: both guys have come out of nowhere to be their respective team's heavies, which says a lot. Caamano is more likely to have the eye popping season.
