Stop to yourself.
If some poster wants discuss a prospects which draft season is 4yrs away let him do that.
You're not moderator so you don't decide that what threads peoples make in here understood?

How's the air up there?

Hmm, outplayed him yet has 2.5 times lower point production? And when exactly is "early"?

There is more to playing the game than points and quite often in youth events the referees/timekeepers do not get the points correct. I would say based on eye test and in my own opinion he has outplayed him.

By "early" I mean over the last couple of years. You can always see which kids get hyped up, often legitimately, but hyped nonetheless. In scouting circles the hype gathers momentum so when one person talks to another, the players name comes up and the momentum grows. This is very common.

Will be interesting to see who pans out here. It's 4 yrs. away so still plenty of time for these guys to grow or a virtual unknown to step up and become #1 in 2021.

Owen Power. Wow, what a name. Even better as Cameron Whynot. There is big marketing potential.

Oleksii Myklukha

I just saw this kid browsing around eliteprospects and he is absolutely demolishing the Slovakian junior leagues at as an underage player.

I don't know anything about the Slovak system and I can find barely any info on him online, so I've done a very rudimentary comparison to the recent Slovakian top forwards prospects (VERY short list) and young NHLers and how they fared in the Slovakia U18 league as D-3 players.

---------------------------------------------------
Marko Dano - 0.69 ppg (2013 27th pick)
Richard Panik - 0.6 ppg (2009 52nd pick)
Tomas Tatar - 0.57 ppg (2009 60th pick)
Peter Cehlarik - 0.29 ppg (2013 90th pick)
Adam Ruzicka - 0.75 ppg (2017 104th pick)
---------------------------------------------------
Oleksii Myklukha - 1.9 ppg (2021 eligible)
---------------------------------------------------

Yeah...

Now obviously where they ended up getting drafted was dependent on how they did in the years closer to the draft (remember this is 3 years before), but this really shows how insane this guys stats are at this point. Myklukha now has 20g/18a for 38 points in 20 games, and leads the Slovakian U18 league in scoring as a 14 y/o (almost 15). If he continues to improve at this rate, as far as I can tell we're looking at nothing short of a bonafide superstar. If anyone knows any more about this kid I'm interested, as I said I there is pretty much no info or hype online that I can find and I'd like to know if I'm overvaluing his performance so far.

I will not say, he couldn't develop to a good player. But i will also say, that our U18 league should be taken as a breaking point in his development. Anyway, his numbers are really good. But as you mentioned, lets wait year or two. Lets see, what a nationality will he take. He is born in Poland, but for now considered as an Ukrainian. Does he also have some Slovak roots? Could be interesting.

What about an early top 10-ranking? Would be curious too see one.
I know there´s looong time left but it´s interesting now to look three years back for the 2018 NHL Draft Prospects. Top pick was named like Emilio Pettersen, Wahlstrom, Zadina, Wise, Svechnikov and Veleno. Some is still there, some have fallen down on the list. It´s really hard to be sure, but it´s a bit easier to speculate, and just for fun of course...

Niko Huuhtanen is very good for Finland. I'd have him as the top prospect over Aatu Räty at this point in time so seeing no mentions and Aatu Räty in top 10 lists is a little...
