Prospect Info: 2020 WJC NYR Prospect Speculation

[offdacrossbar]

russia looks strong. canada/ finland will be fun.

sandin is a horse. does everything so well. nils is going to be another solid RD for us. we are stacked on the right side.

hoglander would have made a huge difference today. losing him was tough.

denisenko is a nice looking player. panthers did well there. the captain of the russian squad seems to have settled down and matured a bit. undersized sparkplug.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I hope vancouver hangs around long enough in the playoff hunt for benning to do something dumb.

I want Hoglander.

 

[NernieBichols]

I think the coach is part of team Sweden’s problem in the elimination rounds.

Everytime I ever see this guy in these games. He’s got this sheepish smile like he just expects to win but is a shaking wreck inside.

That and they never seem to have good goaltending.


Other then hank, lerhner, how many Swedish goalies are there in the league.

Wonder if there’s anything to the notion it’s bc their best athletes that decide to play hockey don’t want to play goalie and the guys who end up being developed as the goalies just aren’t athletic or good enough.

Markstrom and Nilsson are two other that come to mind. I'm sure there's gotta be a couple more at least.

Maelstrom is an all-star this year too. So that’s definitely another one.

I don’t know the Nilsson kid.

 

[DutchNYR]

Russians were amazing today, and Nils looks like a stud. If Canada beats Finland, I hope Russia gives them another ass whooping. Seeing Canadian adults cheer when Russian kids get a goal against is pretty much a new low.

Not happening twice if it gets that far! Would be a great final.

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

That officiating debacle was brutal.

 

[Harbour Dog]

That officiating debacle was brutal.

Brutal call. That's the kind of call you make if the game has gotten very out of hand.

Also, if we miss out on the lottery this year I'll be hoping Drysdale ends up as our pick; he looks fantastic.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Are there any Lundquists or Lundkwists we can draft this season?

Filip Lundqvist at eliteprospects.com

A 7th round pick to keep the All-Lundqvist dream alive.

 

[ArPanet]

Are the refs auditioning for the NHL?

I became interested in Sampo Ranta when Minnesota played against Wisconsin. Would still love to acquire him.

 

[nyr2k2]

Maelstrom is an all-star this year too. So that’s definitely another one.

I don’t know the Nilsson kid.

Maelstrom? Who?

Nilsson is a backup, who came up with the Isles.

 

[Anzi]

Filip Lundqvist at eliteprospects.com

A 7th round pick to keep the All-Lundqvist dream alive.

I was a little disappointed we didn't get Alexander Lundqvist last year. He ended up being undrafted. He's also Lidstrom's nephew.

[JimmyG89]

Nils had a very nice showing this tourney. His stock is definitely on the rise and when we do our rankings he might jump over Miller.

He doesn't have Miller's upside, but his performance in the SHL and WJC cannot go ignored.

If we exclude NHL players from the ranking (Kakko and Fox), I'd have Shesterkin at 1, Kravtsov at 2 and Nils at 3.

 

[kovazub94]

Wasn’t Lundkvist there to earn another (secondary) assist too against the Russia today in addition to a goal and a primary assist?

 

[ThirdEye]

Lundvist with a primary assist thus far in the bronze game

 

[Blue Blooded]

Henriksson took Höglander's spot on the top line when Sweden was defending their lead late in the 3rd.

 

[Irishguy42]

Really can't wait to see Lucas Raymond in a Blueshirt come draft day.

 

[dshea19]

Really can't wait to see Lucas Raymond in a Blueshirt come draft day.

I think I would take Stutzle, if he were available, ahead of the wonder twins.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Really can't wait to see Lucas Raymond in a Blueshirt come draft day.

Was thinking this morning that he’s the player in this draft I can easily see wearing a Rangers jersey

 

[Ola]

I think I would take Stutzle, if he were available, ahead of the wonder twins.

I wouldn’t shoot that down, but against Raymond I think it’s close.

 

[dshea19]

I wouldn’t shoot that down, but against Raymond I think it’s close.

I would be thrilled either way. Honestly, I expect Stutzle to be gone before the Rangers pick, unless they lottery into the top 3. Any opinion on Lundell? If the Rangers are towards the 10th, Raymond and Holtz would probably be gone.

 

[Kovalev27]

I think I would take Stutzle, if he were available, ahead of the wonder twins.

I think I would as well. Love the kid. Would be close between him and Raymond for me but I might do it.

 

[Kovalev27]

You get any one of......

lafreniere
Byfield
Raymond
Stutzle
Perfetti
Holtz
Lundell
Rossi

.......you had a good day. Drysdale will go in that top 10 as well. But that’s the crop.
