TBH who cares past the top 10? The chance of any of these making it to the NHL is <1%.

With this group, the top 21 all have a decent chance.

Evan's made #12 before the year and is now in the NHL. Stapley, at #21, is supposed to be the next Evans.

Stapley is having a rough year and he was also drafted as an overager, I doubt he's much more than an AHLer at this point. Voted Gordin as I like his shot and IQ

Well Evan's was the first Evan's- and was outside of the top 10. So there's that.

Evans improved every year, just had big question marks on his skating, speed, strength. But he's a player that when not scoring, can bring other things, FO's, defensive play. Stapley has been more of a PP specialist with good speed, very good playmaker but not much else. I like him and think he should be a good AHLer but he's going to need to improve a good bit and since he's a month younger then Poehling, he doesn't have as much time to do it as Evans did since he turns 22 in 10 days.

Getting traded twice in two years in the USHL is a red flag to me. Would be nice to know why.

It is, but there’s loads of red flags at #25 on the depth chart and most of them are worse than “he got traded so he might have attitude issues”

We'll see how he does in the NCAA, but he isn't really impressive in the USHL for his age.
I'm going for the Gordin hail Mary.

Smith has the skating and offensive upside, just needs to get healthy and stay healthy.

Pitlick has great speed but I think he needs to work harder, coasts way too much for my liking. I see him as having 3rd line upside as he would make a great PKer in the Byron mold. I'm interested what they do with

Dichow next year since he has no team, good size but like a few prospects this year is a write off due to covid as he's barely played.

Looking forward to seeing Khisamutdinov if he makes his AHL debut tonight. I don't think he'll turn into anything but unlike Gordin he can skate much better and he's got some physical game to him while being a big body that loves to shoot the puck.

RHP has looked decent in his first 2 AHL games, skating/speed look better so he's someone to keep an eye on over the next few years to see if he progresses.

Pezzetta off to a good start, he might some day see NHL time on a 4th line for energy/grit/physical game and toughness.

I mean... he's a lot more impressive in the USHL than Gordin's been in the MHL.

Gordin's been maybe the 6th best player on his team.
