I think folks are sleeping on Guillaume Richard a bit. Like Svozil he was at one point a presumptive first rounder and slipped. But his game finally took a big step and he was named Hockey East defenseman of the month as a freshman. By all accounts he's a very poised defender and he's playing at a higher level than most of our remaining prospects. I like his chances of becoming a second pair shutdown type.
I vote to ADD DOLZHENKOV because he has the hands and power to play in the NHL, it really is just skating that he needs to work on and I think this is a valuable player type if he hits his upside.
Pyyhtia isn't a bad vote here but I'm not super impressed by the scoring, as good as it is. I see a one dimensional volume shooter that is the exact type of guy to thrive in Europe and not be able to do anything in North America. I'd compare him to Bemstrom but Bemmer actually has some better attributes for NHL play - stronger, nastier, better play driver.
