I wouldn't count on it. Every team in front of you apart from NJ could use top 6 centers.
According to HF boards he cant go top 10 because he's not flashy enough

For sure crazy comment by him.
How dares he to say his skating has improved after watching him, and you know maybe it isn’t such a big deal as HFboards think?
New Jersey could certainly use a player of Lundell's calibre and would be crazy to pass on him if he is still on the board when they pick.

This is actually true, though. He's not flashy enough for NHL scouts either. He's just too boring.

I’m a wrong with saying that for example Guerin loves played/prospects like Lundell?

im flattered i have a reputation, thanks
What does Barkov have anything to do with Lundell? Or this conversation in general?
its because Finnish posters are absolutely bonkers when it comes to their prospects and somebody need to attempt to keep them in reality.
you guys must have no been around during last years Hughes vs Kakko debate. It was absolutely comical whay Fins were feeding me
Speaking of reality, can you point to instances in which Jokke Nevalainen showed his bias towards Finnish players? I think he's been quite critical of several of them. Rather mild with Kakko hype, too.
The significance of skating?
Yeah Hughes truly proved himself to be a tier above last season.
Man you told me Kakko was the most NHL ready prospect there ever was and would be a ppg player. And You made a separate burner account to try and reinforce the point...
It's pretty common for prospects in Kakko's caliber to be hyped like this, even scouts said he was NHL ready, turns out his physical frame wasn't ready yet for the big show, it happens, if your going to rule out every Finnish poster as biased because of this then idk what to tell you, quite frankly i find Finns very critical of Finnish players if they got flaws, i'm pretty unbiased myself in this manner.
Looked like man among boys today. One goal and dominated the play away from the puck.
His skating still isn't great but much better than Laine, Barkov and Rantanen had.

Also i've lost count how many posts you've made mentioning this, no offense but it's like your obsessed, calm the f down, Kakko is going to be great, you could see in the playoffs what will come in the future of him, possession monster just like in Liiga.
This is the case with Lundell, he has top notch IQ and all the room to learn skills to match it including skating. It's better than having all the skills but no IQ, hence why being "flashy" is not that important because that's a element that a player can easily implement if he's determined enough and i'm sure Lundell with his caliber of IQ will. I'd be surprised if he went outside top 10 and if he does that team will get some incredible value for their pick.
I was just underwhelmed after how Liiga fans hyped him. Im a Ranger fan obviously I was him to be great and part of me still hopes it was the lengthy season and lack of rest that caught up to him
Fair enough its just my opinion. Its not like I think hes a bad player. I just have him closer to 20 than 10
