Prospect Info: Leafs Board Prospect Ranking #14

[Stephen]

Weird to see SDA over Timashov.

 

[Boutette]

Aaltonen is the closest to become a 4th liner in the NHL, he doesn't have much higher potential than that.

I'd say there are at least half a dozen forward prospects still on the board with much higher ceilings...

Stotts U18: WHL - 47GP 17G 41P
Kizimov U18: MHL - 30GP 6G 18P
Aaltonen U18: Jr A SM-liiga - 12GP, 3G, 8P

Holmberg U19: Div 1 - 36GP 7G 20P
Aaltonen U19: Liiga - 26P 1G 1A

Kara U20: VHL - 33GP 9G 15P
Aaltonen U20: Liiga - 32GP 11G 16P

Chebykin U21: VHL - 35GP 9G 20P
Aaltonen U21: Liiga - 60GP 13G 29P

Brooks U22: AHL - 57GP 8G 19P
Joshua U22: NCAA - 34GP 15G 26P
Timashov U22: AHL - 67GP 13G 34P
Aaltonen U22: Liiga - 57GP 16G 37P

Moore U23: AHL - 68GP 12G 33P
Aaltonen U23: Liiga - 58GP 15G 35P

And yet, you've pretty much failed to offer any example with your comparisons.

Yeah, there's absolutely no way that's the case.

 

[Morgs]

Kral ainec at this point.

Example of what? I'm saying that you can't say that none of the forward prospects on board have lesser potential than Aaltonen does...

 

[showtime8]

Trevor Moore.

He's going to be a mid-season call-up this year.

 

[Green Snow Storm]

Yeah, there's absolutely no way that's the case.

These rankings have been pretty awful. I’m pretty surprised at the consensus this board has compiled.

 

[Mickey Marner]

What do you mean by best?

He's also 25 and has yet to crack an NHL roster. He will not be an NHL'er.

 

[Hurt]

Voted Timashov.

Nielsen really took a step back this year.

Which is a shame because he has great offensive abilities. He struggles in his own end though and his skating isn't great.

 

[Brown Dog]

Timashov not getting enough love. He could be Johnsson in a couple years.
