Prospect Info: 2019 Leafs Board Prospect Ranking #4

[Schenn]

I will make a thread everyday until we have determined the top 30 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 -- 68.3%
2. Timothy Liljegren -- 87.4%
3. Jeremy Bracco -- 60.7%
4.

Bracco went too early IMO. I have Robertson here.

Add Brazeau.

Don’t make me rent out a barn

Don’t make me rent out a barn

I hope I'm wrong, I just don't see Bracco translating his success to the NHL level.

 

[kk87]

Bracco's impressed me immensely the past year, but I think Robertson has the potential to drive play at 5v5 more than Bracco. I'd have Nick at 3.

 

[tmlms13]

Are Moore and Mikheyev really prospects? I'd consider Moore graduated and Mikheyev doesn't really count.

"The criteria for a prospect will be loosely based on Calder eligibility."

 

[TheDoldrums]

Think it's pretty clearly Robertson. Only one I see really having a realistic chance to be a top line player.

 

[Morgs]

Gonna go (again) with the guy that had a NHLe of 61 last season. The guy that had 45 points in the 2nd best league in the world. Had 4 and 14 more points than the two closest guys on his team.

Mikheyev.

Mikheyev.

I have him at #4 after Robertson.

 

[MyBudJT]

I find this docket list a little odd. I have Brazeau, Kivihalme and Duszak all over Kral, Timashov, Lindgren and a couple other guys.

 

[Morgs]

Add Kivihalme.

 

[67Cup]

I know that early graduation to the Leafs is not the one and only criterion for what makes a good prospect. But it certainly isn’t completely irrelevant. Moore is the one who is most likely to play for the Leafs this year, probably followed by Mikheyev

 

[Lauro]

Woll, add Brazeau

 

[Judas Tavares]

I know until you prove it on the ice, words mean nothing, but everything Robertson has said has been the right thing. And it makes me truly convinced he is committed to becoming a great player. That combined with his skills and attributes, I think we have a player here. At worst a hardworking 15-15 guy. But I think there is potential for way more. I don’t want shiny new toy syndrome to get in the way, but I think its Robertson.

 

[Logic]

Robertson

I feel the same. It's hard to rank because people have different criteria. Same reason it's hard for even the experts to agree on BPA at the entry draft.

Went with Mikheyev. I think he's got talent, and has a real shot to make the roster. That's super important to me in prospect rankings. I have Mikeyev and Moore up next, as well.

I'll be honest here and admit that I've never seen Robertson play, not even in youtube clips. So I might be unqualified to make a call.

 

[dangomon]

I'm not convinced he should be on the board, but since he is....How is this anyone other than Trevor Moore? I'm a big fan of Robertson, but Moore is already an NHL player.

 

[al secord]

Mikheyev will be a regular this year.

 

[thewave]

Moore is not a prospect, he graduated. For this one I am going off the board and selecting Mikko Kokkonen and I hope to revisit this in 3-5 years where people are simply amazed at my awesomeness.

 

[Jeypic]

I'm not convinced he should be on the board, but since he is....How is this anyone other than Trevor Moore? I'm a big fan of Robertson, but Moore is already an NHL player.

I think its because people value robertsons’ low floor/high ceiling potential more then Moore’s high floor/low ceiling... and there’s a touch of shiny new toy syndrome.

 

[supermann_98]

Wow the CHL goalie of the year is getting no love over the shine new toy

Funny, Woll > Scott.

 

[supermann_98]

Funny, Woll > Scott.

I won’t argue too much as I like them both

 

[SeaOfBlue]

I already lost faith as soon as Sandin went over Liljegren for #1...
