Yamamoto, add Marody or McPhee

People here thinking he will be better than Gaudreau? I'd be thrilled if he was even 3/4 of the player Johnny is.

I think his upside is Eberle with more compete and grit. He was actually my vote for our best prospect too.

The hype is real.

I think Zuccarello is a good comparable for Yamamoto. Those thinking he will be better than Gaudreau are severely underrating Gaudreau due to who he plays for.

Yeah if prime Yamamoto even gets to rookie Gaudreau production I'll be very happy.

I think hands down Yamamoto will be a better 2 way player. Offensively Gaudreau all the way.

That was my comp for him as well. I don't think that he has the same puck skill as Johnny.

I had a rather long post in the prospect camp thread that actually mentioned you. Very high on the player.

Mentioned me? What did I do?!?!?!

The Maximov over hype is real, and I really like him.

I could see him being a better playoff preformer than Johnny.

Samorukov as well

Yamamoto vs Maksimov is a really interesting debate and I think it's a lot closer than some posters have made it seem. I think Yamo is the slightly better prospect as he's a guy who is a lock to be an NHLer on his drive and work ethic alone, but if Maksimov hits his peak I definitely think he could be a better player. His shot is elite and he knows how to find the soft spaces to allow him to get it off. He's also willing to play a gritty/physical game. His ceiling is sky high imo.

 

[LTIR]

Its not close.
Reminds me of myself comparing Slepychev to Draisaitl in Penticton rookie rounrey and seeing a lot more from Slepy than Drai.
Faster, grittier, better shot. In the end it wasnt close. Hopefully Maksimov works out for us but it really isnt close if comparing to Yam.

 

[Leon Draisaitl]

Can you link to past years results in the OP of these? Be nice to compare.

I compared my irrational love for him to your (more rational) love of Schremp all those years ago.

If it's any consolation I really like him too, hopefully he does better for us than Schremp did.
