Honestly I think if Foudy had a full season to show his talent before the draft he wouldn't have fallen out of the top 10-15 especially with teams grabbing up centers early. I think his high end potential and and ability to hit it are greater than the others.I agree about Carlsson. But I think his stock has fallen behind Peeke's.
EDIT: Im going to be heated if we as a board pick Foudy over Gavrikov and Merzlikins.
Personally I do not feel any of our prospects have the chance to be elite players. That is fine, as I think many of them will become role players. I lost my voting privileges I think but I think my top 3 would be:
Foudy
Abramov
Gavrikov
As far as who is the “safest” bet that they are at least something in the NHL I would say Gavrikov, Foudy, then Abramov.
I really like Abramov but his size scares me, I also think to be that small an effective you must be fast. He is not.
Atkinson was able to train with Martin St Louis almost every off-season and I think that helped his game tremendously. I wonder if Cam would be someone to take him to the side and tell him what he has to do to make it.
