Bob McKenzie's Top Prospects List

yeah except ovechkins died

Haha. I mean that he likes to have fun and joke around in that kind of way. Yakupov reminds me of Ovechkin in that way. Not a big Ovechkin fan myself, but i like Yakupov.

Well as i said Biggs and Sheahan were ranked high too at the mid-term rankings then both dropped after 20 in the final rankings and went there too at the actual draft.

I just don't see him having 1st line potential and iffy on him being a 2nd liner too. Could be a great 3rd liner for sure though.

I watch this kid play a lot. I actually think he has a higher ceiling than landeskog.

With all of this talk of "ceiling" and "upside", what players do you think have the highest ceilings of the draft other than the Yakupovs, Grigorenkos, Galchenyuks, etc.

I've got my personal opinions on players who could turn into prolific scorers but I'd be interested to hear others.....

I'd say their rankings were pretty good but the true test will be in a few years time as these prospects are further in their development.

He was listed at 145 lbs last year, and I doubt he has added 40 pounds in one year. Finhockey.fi has him at 160 and eliteprospects at 165, I think these are pretty close to the truth.
