Picked this up from a thread on the mains (not vouching for accuracy):

All-Time (Slovak) World Junior Championship Scoring:

Richard Panik: 15 goals 7 assists, 22 pts
Zigmund Palffy: 10 goals 7 assists, 17 pts
Tomas Tatar: 10 goals 6 assists, 16 pts

Marian Hossa: 9 goals 5 assists, 14 pts
Tomas Kopecky: 5 goals 9 assists, 14 pts

Marian Hossa: 9 goals 5 assists, 14 pts
Tomas Kopecky: 5 goals 9 assists, 14 pts

Main board logic (clearly not intended to make sense or be serious):

Dano will be better than Hossa, but clearly worse than Richard Panik, who is OBVIOUSLY the best Slovak player of all time.

Really wish we could get Dano out of Bratislava and onto Springfield or another team that would play him.

Pronman released a top 50 of the best prospects who were outside the NHL but have been drafted. Wennberg was ranked 13th.

I'm an Insider, and the answer is Nope. They even list an extra honorable mention 12, but we're not there. Item of note: Washington has 3 of the top 19

Surprising. Figured Erixon or Rychel would be in there. I know he doesn't rate goalies so he didn't put Dansk i nthere

Key phrase: not in the NHL. Erixon has plenty of NHL experience and is, technically, an NHL player.

I don't put too much merit in lists like this, other than bragging rights, I don't think it means a whole lot. Each and every single player on that list will grow and develop at a different pace ... one thing that I always find fun is going back 5 years from now and looking at the list. Sometimes, they are spot on ... other times, it's worthy of a good laugh.

What's going on with Dano? He hasn't played a game for Slovan after the WJC.

 

[Fro]

Jas can't get any info on why out of his sources over there on it...seems everyone is confused by Dano's sitting...

 

[bizzz*]

Well, at least Wennberg scored a game-winner with 2 seconds to play in regulation in his 1st game after the Worlds. Frolunda won 2:1. Nice read on the play, combination starts at 1:17 :

Thoughts on Rychel? Might trade for him in a dynasty league. A future 2nd liner or bottom 6er?

I think he could still bust. As of now I wouldn't say he has the jump to be a bottom sixer.

I see 3rd line scorer.

 

[major major]

I see 3rd line scorer.

I'm not saying he will bust, just that its more of a possibility for him than someone like Jenner who plays a more complete game.

Jenner had similar struggles in his own end when he was drafted.

I don't know about the own-end play, but Jenner was never a floater.

 

[Sore Loser]

I think there's a stretch chance that he could be a top line forward, but the realistic expectation would be a middle-6 guy that can play on the powerplay.

Once again a swing and a miss at the draft. At least Wennberg is looking like a legit NHL player. I had high hopes for Rychel due to his scoring totals, which lessened the blow when we didn't draft Mantha help. Dano I still have no idea about, however it looks like we missed on any elite guys once again. Hopefully the guys at least develop into NHL players.

This is facepalm because its premature. You don't know what will happen. Though I share the apprehension about Rychel. On my draft list I had Mantha in the top 10 and Rychel somewhere in the 20's, and Rychel hasn't done anything this year to justify being taken ahead of Mantha. But it's barely half a year from the draft.

 

[CBJx614]

I second this post.

We had people still ready to call Johansen a bust because he couldn't put up the points until this year. Not every player is going to be a Boone Jenner, some players just need a little more time.

 

[Sore Loser]

Far too early to panic over Kerby Rychel. Very well known prior to the draft that he's a project type of pick, and I think he's following his development path just about where the Jackets hoped/figured.

Whereas Wennberg may be able to play in the NHL next year, Rychel is at least another year or two from being an impact player for us. He'll play in the AHL next year, and will probably put a lot of worries to rest because he can score goals. But, be aware that it will take time with this player ... we may reap benefits at some point, but it won't be next year.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

What the hell did he do to cause all this outbreak of concern? His stats look fine and I highly doubt we have a ton of experts here who watch Guelph play night in and night out.

 

[Fro]

his play against the "elite" of his age group is my cause for concern...he was put on every line and fell flat in each...not ready to label a bust, but I think having some concern is fair...
