All D's in 2022, 2023 and 2024 draft, can you make a top for all with the most potential in your opinion.

Need validation for Reinbacher at 5?

 

[KaraLupin]

Nemec

 

[Mathieukferland]

2022 looks best, 2024 looks good, 2023 not good

 

[SamHabsFan]

Here are the first rounder in order of selection (except for 2024, no particular order)

2022
Nemec
jiricek
korchinski
mintyukov
bichsel
pickering
rinzel
Lamoureux

2023
Reinbacher
Simashev
Willander
ASP
Bonk
MOlendyk
Lindstein
Gulyayev

2024
Dickinson
Buium
Parekh
Levshnunov
yakemchuk
silayev
A, Jiricek
Kiviharjhu

I am no expert on prospect that are not drafted, so I have very limited vewings of the 2024 class, I can say though that I like the 2022 class way better than the 2023 class. So here is my top 10:

1. Simon Nemec
2. Pavel Mintyukov
3.David Jiricek
4. Artyum Levshunov
5. Zeev Buium
6. David Reinbacher
7.Sam Dickinson
8. Kevin Korchinski
9.ASP
10. Zayne Parekh (limited vewings but those stats are insane, I feel like Dickinson is easier to predict..)

Not really. I just want to see your ranking's between these young D. I like hockey in general and draft's. Yeah I'm a Habs fan and I like to see players of my team compared to another teams. But I'm a huge fan of draft's.

Looks like a pretty solid list, I think mine would be about the same 1-9. Not sure I’d have parekh at 10 tho

 

[Castle8130]

If we are talking pre-draft, I think the 2022 and 2024 draft classes are similar in talent. 2023 a bit below, especially at the top of the draft

Mateychuk is from 2022 draft (12th OA) and is one of the best D prospects in the league. He's very well rounded, I think NHL ready. And he currently has 27 pts in 15 WHL playoff games.

I am no expert on prospect that are not drafted, so I have very limited vewings of the 2024 class, I can say though that I like the 2022 class way better than the 2023 class. So here is my top 10:

9.ASP
10. Zayne Parekh (limited vewings but those stats are insane, I feel like Dickinson is easier to predict..)

I like the D in this draft, only a couple in my top ten D prospects but I'd put Yakemchuk, Pulkkinen, Dickinson, and Silayev just outside my top ten, and Parekh not far behind them.

The 2022 D are the best, but that's partly because several of them are more proven in the pros now.

1. Pavel Mintyukov '22
2. Simon Nemec '22
3. Zeev Buium '24
4. Denton Mateychuk '22
5. Artyom Levshunov '24

6. David Reinbacher '23
7. David Jiricek '22
8. Dmitri Simashev '23
9. Lian Bichsel '22
10. Tom Willander '23

 

[ORRFForever]

D Men are so hard to project.

 

[Castle8130]

Now that the season is over, I’ll take a crack at this:

1. Buium
2. Parekh
3. Nemec
4. Jiricek
5. Levshunov
6. Reinbacher
7. Dickinson
8. Mintyukov
9. Silayev
10. Yakemchuk

 

[Guadana]

Nice question.

1 Nemec
2 Simashev
3 Buium
4 Mintyukov
5 Dickinson
6 Levshunov
7 Willander
8 Mateychuk
9 Frej
10 Jiricek
11 Bischel
12 ASP

Just for fun. Defensemen are changing a lot with development.

 

[Hockey Know it all]

You would think with the season ASP had, he would at least be in a couple of the rankings some of you guys made.

Jeez

Jeez

As you would considering Luneau looked like a solid two-way D in the NHL already.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

2024 draft > The rest

Jeez

SHL scoring isn't that predictive. I'll be watching to see what he does next.

 

[coooldude]

Not that it matters much, but Wheeler (and seemingly some scouts) see all 6 top D this year 2024 as better than Reinbacher and Simashev. Don't know what they think about them vs. 2022.

Bob McK June 2023: David Reinbacher, the rangy Austrian 6-2, 194-pound blueliner who is not regarded as an offensive defenceman and is not seen as an intimidating shutdown defender but plays an upper-echelon two-way game is No. 8 on TSN’s final list. He is the consensus top defenceman in this year’s draft. His range was as high as No. 7 and as low as No. 15.

I see all 5 d going in top 8 along with Celebrini, Demidov and Lindstrom.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Since the OP says rank by most potential:

Silayev should be the number 1 ranked answer. Whether or not he hits that is a different question.
