Feels good that a guy I think highly of like Sebrango is barely cracking the top 10.

Exactly. For all the bitching people do about our prospects, the players we’ve ranked 5 to whoever we pick at 9 would be better than picks 1 through 5 close to half the systems around the league.

Seems like we're really overreacting when it comes to Niederbach.

Just opposite, he is excellent skater and he needs improve his skills and get a lot more stronger

He’s very skilled and I know we’re all hoping he turns into the next Kucherov or Kaprisov, but he’s proven exactly nothing yet. And he’s only like 150lbs. There’s a long way for him to go before I consider him top 10.
Sebrango is my dark horse to make the team this season. He’s physically mature, a good skater, and very smart defensively.
LDN added 9kg of muscle, improved his skating and is going to be an SHL regular this year. He’s also looking like a player.

Yeah...Im as excited about the shiny new Russian sniper as just about anyone...but come on, we need to pump the brakes. Sebrango, Buium and I'd argue even Hanas, have all proven a little bit more to this point. I'm excited for Buch's skillset and potential, but his being this high is a little early. Expecting a big jump next year though.

He's certainly not a bad prospect. If anything him only having two votes for 9th is a testament to our prospect pool depth.

James I think is in a similar boat to Mazur last year. Realistically folks haven't caught a lotta tape on the guy, and because he was picked a bit higher than the sites had him mocked, he probably won't have a lot of big advocates. I like the player though, lots of translatable skills.
I hear you. It's always a tough balance between guys who are a bit more proven and guys from the most recent draft class. I try to view it as who I'd value most in an outgoing trade, but once you get past the first couple prospects it gets very tight and very situational for me.

Its funny because half the people pumping him are the ones complaining Bertuzzi was a wasted second round pick because he was barely ranked anywhere. Buchelnikov comes around and hes flashy and all of them love him.
Bert coulda been had 5 rounds later but Buchelnikov ranks higher than guys like Sebrango to some.

I like our depth, I think we're starting to bear the fruits of all those accumulated 2nd and 3rd round picks.
Nitpicking, I'd like a bit more in the forward group to project as good NHL point producers. I'd have a lot of time for another productive forward with next year's 1st.

Well, next year’s draft is looking especially good at forward. Your wish may be granted shortly.

Buium but I switched my vote to Buchelnikov when I saw how he was basically tied with Sebrango
I think Buium's a bit underrated at this point around here, Mazur is 5th in scoring among forwards on his college team and skyrockets up peoples boards meanwhile Buium is 3rd in Defenseman scoring on the same exact team while being a full year younger and crickets

Sebrango because there just isn’t enough to go off of for James.
Sebrango over Buchelnikov because one requires a significant amount of time and projection to see him in the NHL. The other feels like he will be making his debut by the end of this season.

Crickets because offense shouldn’t come as a surprise with Buium. He’s a converted forward. The big question marks for Buium were his feet and his defensive game. He’s made progress there, but he’s nowhere near a complete package.
Sebrango may be unspectacular, but he will play NHL games, which is more than we can say about anyone else on this list at this moment.

James shouldn’t be anywhere near the top 10 discussion.
