Didn't see a thread about him, isn't he like a top prospect for the 2022 draft?

Scored 5 points in game 1 of the season, sure they scored 13 goals
so probably shouldn't put too much weigh on that.

Can you not wait until the 2020 draft in a couple days before spamming the whole board with 2021/2022 prospects? They're not going anywhere, and there's no valuable discussion at this stage either.

He’s rather average. He’ll be drafted but I think more of a round 2-3 talent, if even that, than a first round talent. I think a lot of these early rankings have him ranked high do so because he’s a late birthday NTDP player. He’s not that good though. He’s a bottom half of the roster prospect from his NTDP age group. Being a late birthday and getting an extra draft on some of those guys doesn’t alone make you a first round caliber prospect, but he has time to improve and I don’t work for an NHL team, so I wouldn’t rule out that he’s a first round pick eventually.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

An update because I saw him play yesterday.

He looks improved this season. More impactful. He plays hard, quick decisions, he has quality hockey sense, but I don't know about the puck game. It's very average, and that might be generous.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

His skating is a definite issue, in my opinion. He has a great work-ethic on ice, so that makes up for it, but I think he's a below average skater.

And he looks much bigger now than his listed height/weight. Maybe it's a lot of muscle and I'm wrong about his height, but I would guess he's 6'1/6'2 190+ now.

In general though, I question if he's actually good at hockey. If people really like this guy's game and think he's an eventual first rounder, count me out. I just don't see it.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I am a notable skeptic, but the guy has 2+11=13 points in 19 games as a draft eligible playing in college hockey. That has to count for something.

Welcome to Florida

5+5 after 4 games in NCAA, not bad for a 7th rounder...

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Seems as if his play last season would have merited more discussion.

Are his numbers merely the product of playing for a top program against inferior opposition or does he have legitimate potential as an NHL prospect?

 

[Monsieur Verdoux]

Another 3 point game. Now 6+7 after 5 games.

He might be the most underrated prospect in hockey right now

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Kind of funny looking at some of the earlier posts on here.

Are the big numbers he's putting up merely the result of playing on a dominant team or does he have the ability to produce like this in pro hockey?

How does that chart work? I have a hard time believing he’s that good. If he turns into a Swaggy type I’d be ecstatic.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Up to about 30 points (29) now, in 18 games.

didn't he like, start the season as a 19 year old, now is 20 though.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Now leading the NCAA in points with 38 after 2 goals and 3 assists tonight.

Is Florida going to sign him as soon as his season ends? I am guessing that will be the case. Could be the 3rd line RW they need...

Smart move. Despite his season he's still a borderline NHL prospect. Might as well choose your destination.
