Where do you guys think Juulsen, Kotkaniemi, Mete, Brooks and Ylonen rank when compared to their prospect counter parts ? D/C/Ws.
I think Kotkaniemi starts being a serious option after Necas, Pettersson and Mittlestatd. Glass, Vilardi, Borgstrom, Chytil and Thomas are notables prospect that Id put behind Kotkaniemi.
Do we have the 4th best C prospect in the NHL ? Main board ranked him 6th behind Strome and Vilardi + The guys above, but were extra petty soliciting votes for Strome and Vilardi for Kotkaniemi not to get in... And theyre hella biased against anything Habs.
Aside from the obvious top 10 (IMO)(Dahlin, Heiskanen, Boqvist, Makar, Dobson, Hughes, Smith, Jokiharju, Timmins, Alexeyev) I don't think it's too wrong to say Juulsen, Brooks and Mete fit in with other guys like Myers, Liljegren, Valimaki, Brannstrom, Foote, Hague.) Personally, Id say Juulsen/Mete starts being a really strong option behind Brannstrom and Foote.
For wingers, theres obviously Svechnikov, Wahlstrom, Zadina, Tolvanen, Kaprizov, Kravtsov, Tkachuk, Farabee that Id rank ahead of Ylonen, but after that, IMO, he's right at home there. Maybe theres Kyrou, Katchouk, Abramov, Lind, Bellows and Robertson that I would consider too ?
Is it homerism to say we have a top 5 C prospect, top 10 W prospect, two/three top 30 D prospect and top 10 G prospect ?
This prospect pool has me going freaking nuts.
