Raymond Holtz.... Raymond Holt...
Raymond Holtz.... Raymond Holt...
I've already given up on 2019 prospects and am looking ahead to 2020. Holtz and Lafreniere are in a league of their own compared to their historical cohorts. Will be nice go get one if them in 2 years!Holtz and Raymond , two 2020 NHL draft eligibles playing for Sweden as underagers at the Hlinka are both excellent. In the 2nd period right now on TSN
Those 2 are the front runners right now for sure. Raymond outplayed Holtz yesterday.. but you can definitely see why Holtz is getting the hype. I think we will end up with a 2019 1st before the year is out.. but it will likely be in the bottom half.. 2019 has good depth , if we manage a mid round pick , it will be a good player.I've already given up on 2019 prospects and am looking ahead to 2020.

Does Holtz remind you stylistically at all of Ovechkin or a prime Semin? The way he attacks defenders at the blue line when he had the puck is phenomenal. He creates space in the OZ so well.Those 2 are the front runners right now for sure. Raymond outplayed Holtz yesterday.. but you can definitely see why Holtz is getting the hype.

I have to watch Raymond play more I haven't seen any of the Hlinka so I think I've seen him only a few times.
Byfield is the closest thing to Lindros since Lindros, he's going to be a franchise level guy.
Scary to think he is 6-4, 220 at 15 and skates like the wind.
Well he wouldn't be at the U-18 yet as he hasn't even hit his 16 year old season yet (same as Lafreniere last year). He will be front and centre at next year's Hlinka, and likely at this years IIHF U-18 depending on Sudbury. He's one of the youngest in his draft class, which is scary looking at his physical stature.Have you had any chances to see him play? He is not at the Hlinka .. is he injured? / I guess next year will be his time to be there.
I don't mean overall style but just as how they attack the blue line with the puck on their stick. A 22 year old Ovi skating thru the NZ against defenders was the most terrifying thing and I see a lot of similarities just in how Holtz attacks defenders. Holtz is more of a finesse player in general in my opinion though.Can I vote none of the above. for now. I will need to watch him more. He is touted as a goal scorer, but I don't think its in Ovechkin /Laine style. Sweden vs Switzerland today at 5 so get another chance to see them.
Sudbury will be very good in 2 years. I'm excited to see how he performs as a rookie. I've seen some people say he's going to struggle against guys that can compete with him physically but I think he's such a good skater that his skills will still shine thru.Byfield is the closest thing to Lindros since Lindros, he's going to be a franchise level guy.

Yah me too... Excellent player. (I had just said the same thing on the https://hfboards.mandatory.com/threads/hlinka-gretzky-cup.2514299/page-16#post-148718295)Very impressed with cozens.
So it was similar to a Dorion interview?Trent Mann and Sens scouts taking in Hlinka... Being interviewed in the intermission right now
Good interview... Good guy , straight shooter, competent
Looking forward to see what impact he has on Belleville and our farm system. Couldn't be much worst than the last 2 years tbh..Trent Mann and Sens scouts taking in Hlinka... Being interviewed in the intermission right now

Brown, White, Chlapik, Batherson are the guys who probably have the best chance. I'd say Brown & White are locks but I know a lot of people here want Brown to spend time in the AHL.So what prospects actually have a chance to crack the roster this up coming fall?
And shouldn't we be getting some dates for the rookie tourney and whatnot pretty soon?

At least Dorion hasn't given away our 2020 pick yet. Theres something to look forward.5 of the top 10 in scoring pre-playoffs at the Hlinka-Gretzky U18 cup are 2020 eligible
1 Lafreniere 6
3 Gushchin 6
7 Barron 5
9 Raymond 5
10 Holz 5
