My top 115 of prospect What do you think ? **Prospect drafted and not in NHL Clayton Keller Jesse Puljujarvi Charles McCavoy Thomas Chabot Kyle Connor Tyson Jost Olli Juolevi Kirill Kaprizov Alexander Nylander Dylan Strome Brock Boeser Luke Kunin Logan Brown Matthew Barzal Nikita Gusev Colin White P-L Dubois Phillipe Myers Samuel Girard Mikhail Sergachev Julius Honka Joel Eriksson-Ek Travis Sanheim Ilya Samsonov Julien Gauthier Denis Guryanov Kyle Wood Kasperi Kapanen Evgeni Schevnikov Jordan Greenway Sam Steel Taylor Raddysh Kieffer Bellows Brendan Montour Adam Fox Kale Clague Daniel Sprong Tage Thompson Michael McLoed Jacob Larsson Olivier Kylington Dante Fabbro Gabriel Carlsson Ryan Pulock Jeremy Roy Ilya Sorokin Mikhail Vorobyov Vladislav Kamenev Christian Fischer Jack Roslovic Noah Juulsen Adam Mascherin German Rubstov Brendan Guhle Trent Frederic Blake Speers Alex DeBrincat Cliff Pu Dennis Cholowski Jake Bean Michael McCaron Max Jones Nikta Scherbak Brety Howden A.J Greer Alex Tuch Steve Stantini Jakub Zboril Nikolay Guldobin Maxim Shalumov Igor Shesterkin Carl Grundstrom Carter Hart Jeremy Lauzon Madison Bowey Vladimir Tkachyov Jake Guentzel Tyler Parsons Olivier Bjokstrand Jeremy Bracco Henrik Borgstrom Joey Andersen Haydn Fleury Matthieu Joseph Rasmus Asplund Filip Hronek Dillon Dube Tyler Benson Igor Rykov Riley Tufte Anthony Cirelli Michael Dal Colle Troy Terry Alexandre Carrier Zachary Senyshin Danton Heinen Yakov Trenin Lucas Johansen Vitali Abramov Anatoly Golishev Filip Chlapik Robert Hagg Ivan Barbashev Ethan Bear Tristan Jarry Mitchell Vande Sompel Jordan Subban Jordan Schmaltz Jonas Siegenthaler Keegan Kolesar William Lockwood Samuel Morin Logan Stanley Taylor Cammarata Brandon Gignac
I really appreciate things like this. Interesting that you have William Lockwood (111) ranked but have not ranked Adam Gaudette, Thatcher Demko, or Guillaume Brisebois. All three of those players are consistently ranked higher up the Canucks depth chart than Lockwood. Speaking of Lockwood, I find him to be a really intriguing prospect. Tough to judge his ceiling but he's a really fun player to watch. Lot's of energy. No mention of Virtanen could be expected. A lot of people have given up on him and signed him off. Still hoping Travis Green chisels him into something beneficial for the organization.
Wow that's a lot of names. Nice to see Trenin ranked over Abramov. That's the way I see it when I watch the live games. However I haven't seen them in town this year. I liked what I seen from Trenin at the WJC. Wish Vince Dunn and Andrew Neilson could have wedged themselves in there somewhere. I think Santini and Guentzel may have found permanent homes in the NHL and Nicolas Roy should be rocketing up everyones charts this year but hey that's a lot of names. Good Work
I'd still have Puljujärvi as #1. Failing to land successfully into the NHL at the age of 18 is no shame. He's got the tools, size and the resume. Just a matter of time when he patches everything together.
Not bad. Good for you for putting the work into this. As much as Hagg has improved lately, I would not have him ahead of Morin.
The Leafs best prospect after Kapanen is Andrew Nielsen (maybe he is 3rd to Grundstrom). Personally, I'd switch him from Bracco.
Good list. That's probably one of the bigger lists I've seen so I'm impressed by that. Oskar Lindblom is a guy who I think should be on this list. He may not have the highest ceiling as a player, but he could be a really good 3rd line winger. He could become a 2nd line winger but I seen a 3rd line role being more likely. He's 4th in SHL scoring this season with 11G 20A in 35GP
Pretty good list. Just some omissions off the top of my head that I expected to be there: Justin Bailey, Caleb Jones, Adam Gaudette, Anders Bjork, Carl Grundstrom, Max Shalunov (if Tkachyov is there) and maybe Anton Rodin
Thanks! For Trenin > Abramov , the Trenin game is just easier to transpose into the NHL . Trenin is really effective in puck protection and forecheck , win face-off also . I see him like a big center of bottom 6 , face-off specialist with ability to score . Abramov is very small , so This kind of player must play on a top 6 , or now some team top 9 . Very dynamic player and noise around the net . It is the player player that in 2 years he will have a chance and he will have to take it if he will never play For Nielsen , It is a bad luck, I have seen him play once this season and he play terribly . That's scouting .I've heard good things about this and are statistic are very good so maybe he deserve a spot
I did not Keller forward because of the bad start of the season of Puljujarvi . I have Keller in front since draft . Loving dynamic of Keller , controlling pace of game when is on ice . Always the high head with incredible hands , just fall in love with him
Not a WJ issue . I have Kunin 8 at last draft . Kunin has a style of games and upside better fit to be dominant in the NHL than Barzal . Kunin will be a special player , a futur captain with one of best shot in league . Very good around the net too . Barzal is dynamic, with good hands but his decision-making is not always excellent and likes to keep the puck too long. I just prefer upside of Kunin Btw i don't speech english very well , i do my best
It's all good, I have no problem with you ranking Kunin over. Just that I haven't really seen that anywhere else so I expect that it will raise some eyebrows.
Kunin I'm not sure about, but Barzal is a player who will invite controversy. When I first saw him I thought he was really, really good. Then I started to see the flaws in his game. He has talent, but I don't know if the talent he has will transfer to the NHL. He doesn't seem to have a clock that goes off in his head when he has held onto the puck too long. Don't know if he is this way in junior? Kunin has a simple game. Get puck, get in position, fire puck. What surprises me is that he plays with an edge, but a sensible one. Still not convinced about his skating.
not a bad list. while i like kunin alot around 15 i'd have JEE ; colin white & then kunin. kinda 123. just minor correction. cheers.
At this point of years i have seen 0 games of SHL so i don't class these guys but Peterssen , Nygren , Aho , Rensfeltd , Lindlom and Everberg are guys who i will watch him in next month
You'r right . I love Keller/Kunin/Girard/Chabot/Connor/McCavoy/Jost/Myers/Honka/Raddysh/Clague so maybe these player are too high
I get the reasoning, but to me upside has be a significant factor with these lists and Abramov is clearly ahead of Trenin in that regard, although Trenin showed better skills during WJC then I expected.
If i have a choice between these two at draft , would take Trenin because I am sure that it will play in the NHL and will make something that a very low number of player can do . Special player I love Abramov too . Two of my best friends , Ouellet and Bellemare play there so i watch a lot of Gatineau game . Very close call , just two position between these too .
Solid list... though I think the Flyers on it are all over the place! You have it as: #1: Myers #2: Sanheim #3: Vorobyov #4: Rubtsov #5: Hart #6: Hägg #7: Morin Whereas the consensus on Flyers board is probably: #1: Sanheim #2: Myers #3: Lindblom/Rubtsov #4: Rubtsov/Lindblom #5: Morin #6: Stolarz/Hart/Sandström #7: Stolarz/Hart/Sandström Vorobyov is generally ~9-10th and Hägg usually lucky to make our top 10.
All last year I watched Trenin steamroll his way through the qmjhl and I was amazed at his strength and speed and size. He would grind people off the puck and pass it off to Abramov at the blue line. When Abramov lost it Trenin would grind another guy for possession. I always found Abramov a floater. I haven't seen him this year but last year really turned me off. I hope Trenin can lock down a spot with the Preds. I don't think the Abramov game will translate. Trenins play at the WJC didn't surprise me. I thought he was going to be a cut. That would have been a mistake but that's only my opinion
To echo a few others, Lindblom is missing. He is top 3 in scoring against men in the SHL....at age 20.
