Shocked Amirov went before Heinola.

Heinola then Holloway

 

[bert]

Formenton, add Foudy

@amnesiac you should keep this going to 100. Or 75 at the minimum.

This is the best poll series run annually. We are on hockey’s future board after all. This is the one I follow and participate in the closest.

Keep it running lad. I’m sure others agree.

Some really good prospects won’t crack the top 50, and it’s always fun to learn more about other teams up and coming players when you get past the 50 range.

75-100 would take us to right around WJC and after or to the beginning of next season.

Heinola is so overdue at this point. Constantly at 59% corsi in Liiga since he was drafted, and 0+12 in 15 games this season. Quite surprisingly, he also leads 2019 draftees in NHL points per game with 1+4 in 8gp

 

[RememberTheName]

Definitely interesting that Amirov just went even though guys like Mercer, Guhle, and Holloway were pretty consistently ranked above him going into the draft if I am not mistaken

 

[hamzarocks]

Holloway
Heinola
Timmins
Bean
Harley

Those are my next 5

We looked at 12 sources to come up with EOTP’s Consensus NHL Draft Rankings

average 17th.... but after Lundell experts were saying its a crapshoot

 

[QJL]

Heinola

add Braden Schneider

 

[Llamamoto]

I would replace Tyler Benson with Dmitri Samorukov on your to-add list.

Benson's talented but his skating + size combo will likely hold him back from becoming a top-9 player.

Samorukov's doing extremely well in the KHL right now, he can hit like a truck and he's solid at both sides of the rink. He's pretty unanimously considered our 4th best prospect on HFOIL.

(Definitely add Reichel though, he deserves to go in the 40-50 range)

dunno bout that, was ranked 27th predraft We looked at 12 sources to come up with EOTP’s Consensus NHL Draft Rankings

 

[Benn14]

Add Martin Kaut

 

[The Moose is Loose]

Amirov 100% just went because of which team he was drafted by

 

[hamzarocks]

Amirov 100% just went because of which team he was drafted by

How hes in the same range as Holloway and heinola ? They are similar tier prospects and should go 44,45,46

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Amirov 100% just went because of which team he was drafted by

his draft year and draft + 1 year are better than Denisenko's, so it's pretty reasonable to have him in the same sort of range

comparing KHL stats at age 18-19 is useless... youre talking about a league where Nigel Dawes is top 5 in scoring every year.

Denisenko shoudve gone higher, hes top 20 on almost every list Ive seen (not including 2020 picks). Nothing against Amirov, but hes was ranked around 15-20th pre draft.

 

[bert]

Formenton is going to be a force to deal with, physicality is so underrated on HF boards.

so you want to just base these rankings on other rankings you've seen and ignore their play?

Nothing against Amirov, but hes was ranked around 15-20th pre draft. Amirov, Mercer, Zary, Holloway, Guhle, Lapierre are all interchangeable.

the KHL is too difficult a league to judge young players, imo... you can be a Kuznetsov/Panarin or you can be a Nikita Filatov/Shipashyov.

 

[canuckking1]

Amirov going at 44 is fine. Not sure why someone who voted Holloway would complain as they're basically interchangeable in terms of ranking. I'd prefer Amirov of the 2 as I feel he has higher upside. Went with Harley next.

 

[Namikaze Minato]

Amirov 100% just went because of which team he was drafted by

Whining about where Amirov just went is 100% because of which team he was drafted by.

 

[780il]

Feel like Heinola should’ve went before Amirov. But those 2 and Holloway are very close in my eyes. Heinola/Holloway should be the next 2 I think.

Hate to agree with a Leafs fan, but you got 'em.

This. Samorukov is universally as our 4th best prospect.

His KHL performance thus far for the legendary CSKA team (the old Soviet Red Army team) is pretty impressive. I know they’ve had some roster turnover recently giving him this opportunity, but he’s still making the most of it.

26-2-6-8 and +20 are damn good boxcars for a young D man in the KHL.
