Prospect Info: 2020 Leafs Board Prospect Rankings #20

Schenn · Nov 2, 2020

I will make a thread every day until we have determined the top 20 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 -- 48.4%
2. Nicholas Robertson -- 83.5%
3. Timothy Liljegren -- 53.8%
4. Rodion Amirov -- 94.3%
5. Mikhail Abramov -- 36.5%
6. Filip Hallander -- 32.4%
7. Yegor Korshkov -- 47.2%
T-8. Joey Anderson -- 27.7%
T-8. Nick Abruzzese -- 27.7%
10. Roni Hirvonen -- 45.6%
11. Topi Niemela -- 40.7%
12. Mikko Kokkonen -- 42.6%
13. Semyon Der-Arguchintsev -- 26.2%
T-14. Filip Kral -- 22.5%
T-14: Joe Woll -- 22.5%
16. Mac Hollowell -- 18.5%
T-17. William Villeneuve -- 24.6%
T-17. Veeti Miettinen -- 24.6%
19. Ian Scott -- 30.4%

Suggest who I should add next, and who needs to be removed.

Canada4Gold · Nov 2, 2020

Think I'll go Holmberg here. Has had a great start to the year. Could have went AA Batteries, or Ovi 2.0 too. All are around the same range IMO.

SeaOfBlue · Nov 2, 2020

I voted Rasanen. I still have faith in him and I think he has the most upside left out of anyone here. There are guys like Holmberg who have a better shot at making the NHL, but if he does it is likely just as a slightly above replacement-level bottom 6 forward.

If Rasanen makes it, there are not many guys like him out there and he could be a pretty big piece for the Leafs going forward.

CantLoseWithMatthews · Nov 2, 2020

Holmberg should be considered top 20 IMO.

Ovchinnikov, Brooks, Ahktyamov, Koster, Rubins would round out my top 25

I agree with a lot of this list, but would move Kokkonen up to the 2nd tier. I

LeafalCrusader · Nov 2, 2020

Voted Ovechkinov just because.

Once · Nov 2, 2020

Remember when people were high in brazeau?

ponder · Nov 3, 2020

I’ve been voting Akhtyamov since 13, not gonna stop now

hamzarocks · Nov 3, 2020

Damn wasted a vote on kivihalme by mistake. Wanted to choose holmberg here

5. Egor Korshkov
6. Filip Hallander
7. Joey Anderson
-------------------------

10. Mikhail Abramov

16. Artur Akhtyamov
---------------------------
17. William Villeneuve
18. Joseph Duszak
19. SDA
20. Dmitri Ovchinnikov

Tiers - 1-4 are blue-chip prospects. 5-7 are a gritty group of secondary scorers with a high floor. 8-10 are undersized, high upside forwards. 11-16 are B-level D prospects of a similar ilk and B-level goalie prospects of a similiar ilk. 17-20 are flawed with lots of question marks, but a high upside relative to their ranking.

Would anyone object to ranking our entire prospect pool? I think it would be interesting/fun in a way to see everyone’s opinion.

You mean league wide? I have it middle of the pack.

No I meant take all of our prospects and rank them from 1 to whatever. We already have the top 20, I meant 20 and on until our prospect pool has been entirely covered

I like it. I wouldn't be opposed to continuing to vote after the 20-25.

I enjoy voting, I would be down. It's a really deep pool this year of quality prospects after the trades to clear cap space and the high total of picks. Not a bad year to do it.

Oh okay. Misread it.

Byron Bitz · Nov 4, 2020

I have holmberg just outside the top 10, I’ve liked his development these last few years
