This guy has a good explenation on his profile and why he is so underrated.

So, we're reduced to watching cartoons of players now?

Don’t agree with the comment that Zary is Canadian Lundell. I don’t actually think Zary is a better prospect and I’m not suggesting Lundell is a likely bust, but they play the game differently. I think Zary has a higher ceiling, Lundell a slightly higher floor.

They play different styles, but they share a lot of the same characteristics, strengths, lack of real standout abilities apart from hockey IQ, average but not great skaters, that kind of stuff. They're guys who you can almost guarantee will be effective bottom six players at the least, but you still question how high they can go given their relative lack of "skill".

I see what you’re saying, but I don’t see Zary as lacking skill. I think he’s a high end playmaker.

Great saucer pass to Lundell.

Great saucer pass to Lundell.

...and confident, crisp finish by Lundell.

Lundell is going to wreck Liiga

 

[karhukissa]

Lundell is going to be great. Also, has anyone noticed how many sons of former legendary Liiga grinders are on this draft class?

Lundell, Järventie, Hirvonen and Markkanen atleast.

No, he needs to make it to 9 so the Wild can keep the traditional of having a Top 6 Finnish Center.

 

[bigdog16]

Not saying he is wrong or anything, but that dude is so biased towards Finnish prospects/players.

Actually not so much. Nevalainen pretty much calls them pretty objectively and is quick to describe flaws in a player’s game if he sees them.

Great conversation with Dean Millard and Craig Button in Tracking The Draft yesterday.

He can’t tell if his skating has improved?

Everyone is biased one way or another. Scouts, GMs, you and me, all biased. And in general the bias is towards the guys you get to see play the most. Why make such a boring take for no reason when the guy literally just said Lundell's skating has improved

 

[NotProkofievian]

His skating did look better today.

More that his skating isnt a concern

Oh wow, what a crime to let out such a popular opinion about a player. Clearly biased through the roof then

 

[Shocker]

Oh, it's bigdog again with his terrible takes.

Normal sight in prospect threads.

 

[ijuka]

And continued to say it was never a problem to begin with anyways lol

Because it wasn't...?

Was skating a problem for Barkov?

 

[wings5]

He might be able to rise to top 5-7 with a good start to the season and especially if the other top prospects aren't playing yet

I mean he analyzes Finnish prospects only what do you expect lmao
