Voronkov skills and awareness are very underrated. But I agree Liam will be only better. Btw I would try him play the center. We can`t lose anything.The 2 Russians have just as good or better shots than Sillinger.
I also think Foudy has much better offensive skill and offensive awareness than he gets credit for, especially in relation to Voronkov.
His skating has already shown to be impactful at the NHL level. He will only get stronger and faster the next couple years at least.
I see 8 people still have Peeke as #6. The same guy that the team just signed to a 787k deal? Granted its a one way deal but if that is how you value the 6th best prospect the rest must be really bad. Love to hear rationale. Not saying you're wrong just trying to understand the disconnect (to me anyway) between how you voted and this deal.

If it was based on current performance, I'm not sure I'd have him listed. But I haven't given up on his upside. I don't think we've really seen what he can be.I see 8 people still have Peeke as #6.

i didn’t vote for Peeke, and his play (or lack there of) over the past two years has definitely knocked him down on my personal list. But if you’re voting on upside, Peeke absolutely belongs up here. Plenty of defenseman take time to get where they’re going to go. He doesn’t have elite upside, but remember Savard took some time before he got acclimated in the NHL. Including getting called out by JD for his fitness. Don’t give up on Peeke yet
Re Peeke: It may be that with the cap situation the way it is this might be the kind of deal these guys are getting. Timmons just signed an #850k per year deal. Teams willing to pay NHL $ to have development time in the A with guys they see upside in. We'll see.
Peeke may get to be a decent 2nd pair defenseman. Foudy may get to be a 2nd line wing or maybe a 3rd line center. Tarasov may get to be a starter in the NHL.
