I swear, some people have him penciled in on the starting line-up next year
Yeah, not a single person is doing that.

Everyone is a rokie at some point, byt a lot of those guys you mentioned didnt play fulltime until 4 or more years after being drafted. Ornot drafted at all. So 5 years isnt really a stretch.
spooner was drafted 4 years ago and he hasnt cracked the lineup yet but he's cpnsidereda top prospect.
FFS he's 18 years old. He still has some growing to do and no doubt he'll be adding muscle to his frame. If he was 22 and this slight yeah I'd be worried. As for the rest of it there isn't anything he can't correct. Give the kid a chance before writing him off will you?
I see Artemis took great offense to my 5 year prediction (via someone else quoting her). Lucic came in @ 230pds, Hamilton came in @ 6'5 -200pds. Both were ready to play against NHL men. Seguin was forced in as a top2 pick. The rest of the guys listed all had significant time ({4+ years) to develop before being full time players. I suggest the same will be needed for the newest shiny toy and I'm some kind of anti-Bruin, Julien-hating jerk?
Year 1: back in Swe -1
Year 2: hopefully get feet wet in SweHL
Year 3: become important player for team in SweHL
Year 4: Providence w some call-ups
Year 5: Boston --maybe split time?

This is probably what will happen... Maybe a year less in Sweden, maybe a year more. Depends on how he develops. I trust both Sweden and Providence, both are great developmental programs. Providence won't teach you much offensively but he'll learn his defensive game for sure. If you're an important player in the SHL you're on the right track... Hope he follows that.

the sad thing is that he dislikes the actual hockey part of hockey so much that he'd probably stand by that statement.
The last great gift from Chia. RIP.
Are you referring to Studnicka? He was picked in 2017.Well, a great gift no-doubt but perhaps not the last one... "Captain Jack"

Reading this thread is hilarious now.
I love that they first reply is lamenting that they passed up on some guy no one's ever heard of
He reminds me of a young Jagr
