We have some raw and high offensive upside RHD coming up. We currently have Ryan Sproul on the Detroit Red Wings playing here and there (let's not make this Sproul vs Jensen/XO/etc), Robbie Russo tearing it up in Grand Rapids (39 in 72, 22 in 36), and then in the Ontario Hockey League Vili Sarijarvi with 14 in 14 showing flashes of dominant offensive play along with Filip Hronek in Sagina with 25 in 32.
Vili Saajijarvi is currently 19. He will be going pro next season
Filip Hronek is currently 19. He will going pro next season.
Robbie Russo is currently 23. I think he can go through waivers next season as well.
Ryan Sproul is 24. He needs waivers
This style has high upside, but definitely a bust ratio. In five years, we generally only have Danny DeKeyser expected to be on the roster-ish. Brendan Smith is expiring, Jonathan Ericsson and Niklas Kronwall are not young bucks and are dealing with injuries. Mike Green has just a year left, and who know's about Xavier Ouellet and Alexey Marchenko's development.
So predict who makes it and who is the best of the four. What's the upside of these guys, and what do you think happens?
