Oskar Steen once more.

1.) Jack Studnicka
2.) Urho Vaakanainen
3.) Oskar Steen
4.) Jakub Lauko
5.) Jermey Lauzon

 

[TCB]

Went with Oskar Steen

This too me is where it gets interesting. I'm still not sold on Studnicka or Beecher being that much better than the other 5 or 6 remaining on the board at this point. Wouldn't be surprised at all if two or three of the others have better careers.

 

[ON3M4N]

Went with Lauko since he was my pick at #3

 

[neelynugs]

lauko was a steal where they got him. his blend of speed, skill and jam will play well in the NHL.
definite top 9 guy for me, possibly better. looking forward to getting some more views on him this
year in providence.

We agreed on #1 and #2, but that's it lol...

1.) Jack Studnicka
2.) Urho Vaakanainen
3.) Jakub Lauko
4.) Kyle Keyser*
5.) Trent Frederic

*Gave Keyser the edge since he's gone pro. Also can't see Swayman leaving college early.

Oscar Steen: 10th SHL scoring

Jacob Lauko: 98th QMJHL scoring

 

[neelynugs]

Oscar Steen: 10th SHL scoring

Jacob Lauko: 98th QMJHL scoring

i'll add a little to that.

lauko:
.93 points per game (3rd among QMJHL rookies)
13 points in Q playoffs (most among rookies)
8 points in 5 games in memorial cup (most among everyone)

steen:
7 points (2 goals) in 14 playoff games (17 G in reg season - 46 games)
2 years older than lauko

i do like both players

The leagues aren’t all that comparable. Ones men and the others kids. I think what Steen did relative to his peers was more impressive but Lauko almost getting a ppg in a league that’s becoming increasingly defensive is also very encourage

I like em both too though. Glad we have the option of picking between the two

 

[JoeIsAStud]

Been on Keyser since #3, and going to stay with him until he finds a home.

of course, SHL is very good league. for me the 2 year difference is important to note.
when lauko is steen's age, he'll be playing in the NHL IMO.

 

[LouJersey]

Man those '15 guys dropping like a rock again another summer removed from that draft.

Very fair point. Looking forward to seeing both of them

 

[neelynugs]

i think both zboril and senyshyn will be regulars in the NHL. zboril could be a 2nd pairing guy in his prime,
but his decisions concern me. senyshyn looks like a 3RW if he continues to progress. boston could've made
better picks. shit happens. hopefully they can figure things out before the core is wiped out.

 

[BlackFrancis]

.93 points per game (3rd among QMJHL rookies)

This is my only quibble. You should compare him to fellow 2000s and late 1999s, not Q rookies, as many of them will be younger than Lauko. I like him, but his PPG wasn't all that great compared with the other Q forwards in his draft class.

that's a fair point. but he also came over from another country and had to learn to speak better - both english and french.
i look at what he did last year at mostly 18 years old (turned 19 in late march), and it's impressive any way
you slice it. no slight to steen, his rise is important to this organization as well.

I personally would rank them 4 and 5 on our list but based on voting it looks like they will be 8-10 if lucky

 

[TCB]

Man those '15 guys dropping like a rock again another summer removed from that draft.

No worries:

Debrusk will have his first 30 goal season, Carlo will cause people to bring back the discussion of having a Rod Langway award,Lauzon will finally stay healthy and win a spot forcing Sweeney to make a deal for a top six forward.

Seny going to pop in 15-20 this year and Zboril will be packaged in a deal to bring in that top six forward.

Vlador will be a stud in providence,JFK will be a standout in Sweden and Hughes will be a major spark-plug for the Bruins down the stretch, leading everyone to say what a great overall draft it was for the Bruins in 2015!

 

[neelynugs]

I personally would rank them 4 and 5 on our list but based on voting it looks like they will be 8-10 if lucky

they could end up 10th and 11th. personally i see 3-11 as being very interchangeable, depending on how
everyone assesses a prospect. axel andersson will probably end up 9th and i have him a few spots higher.
then you have the next tier which is about 4-5 guys, and then it's a lot of dartboard stuff.

Except for Lauzon and the two who are thriving in the NHL?

I thought it would be obvious about who I was talking about, sorry for not being explicit.

1.) Jack Studnicka

4.) Kyle Keyser*
5.) Trent Frederic

*Gave Keyser the edge since he's gone pro. Also can't see Swayman leaving college early.

Only one I don't really agree with being in the Top 5 here is Frederic, but I've soured mightily on him.

 

[arider1990]

You also forgot that the rink size is different in Europe.

 

[Dr Hook]

Went with Steen for the 3rd straight time. Okskar FTW!!! But really, the list so far looks good. I am also thinking of Senyshyn right around this spot, and Kesyer too. When looked at in this fashion, yes we lack that sure thing all-star caliber prospect, but it is shaping up to fine top ten prospect list.

don`t discount the huge adjustment to not just coming to NA but landing in a spot where he (Lauko) is now exposed to another language that is new to him. I`ll disagree that the Q is becoming increasingly defensive unless something drastic has happened since I moved out West less than a year ago
