Lambos.

Maybe a bit of "shiny new toy" syndrome when it comes to trying to put the defensemen in order, but enough people have talked about his being a top 10 talent. Good enough for me.

Same for me, but for Wallstedt.

 

[AKL]

I think Lambos has the best combination of ceiling and safety, I see him as a true top pairing guy. Wallstedt falls because he's a goalie and that's how it works.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Lambos is a stud

 

[MuckOG]

Here's where it starts getting interesting. Went with Wallstedt.

 

[Circulartheory]

I had Wallstedt above Lambos during the draft, Wild had him over Lambos at the draft.

Nothing so far has changed my mind since the draft so for now, Wallstedt remains above him.

 

[Prior]

Goes Lambos then Wallstedt for me. Too much raw talent with Lambos and too much uncertainty with the goaltender.

There’s uncertainty with Lambos as a prospect but the goaltending position comes with unprecedented volatility that most other positions in sports do not follow. Wallstedt, in my mind, needs to back up his pedigree with some otherworldly numbers for me to go much higher than he is now for my rankings.

 

[Wasted Talent]

Voted Lambos, but I'll also admit I find it difficult to rank goalies together with skaters. They're a whole different category for me.

 

[HotDish]

Really came down to Addison and Lambos.

I leaning Addison because I tend to rate NHL readiness higher hence last year I probably had sturm higher than most even as a fourth liner.

however when it comes down to it. I think Lambos has a chance of being a top pairing guy while Addison I think will be a second pairing guy.

I have a hard time ranking Goalies high in these prospect rankings too. I recognize all of Wallstedt's accomplishments and think he could end up being very good player in this draft, but Carson Lambos is the real deal and could end up being the best of his class.

This was a guy who was considered a top 3 pick for 3 straight months before he needed surgery.

Where would Lambos fall on a list of top dmen prospects? top 10? I didn't put much effort into looking at defenseman prospects for this years draft, so I don't really have much of an opinion of what he can be.

I do think Boldy is a top 5 forward prospect on the planet. I think Rossi is probably still top 10. Wallstedt probably has to be considered a top 5 goaltender prospect? No?

 

[Lapa]

Wallstedt. First draft-eligible goalie to play over 20 games in SHL. Great potential.

I would have him in my top 10. I think the only D prospects I would definitely take over him are Drysdale, Byram, Hughes. You could really make a case for him anywhere from 5-15.

 

[TaLoN]

Lambos for me, followed closely by O'Rourke.

 

[Mickey the mouse]

ROR again

I really don't know much about Lambos and goalies are a crap shoot most of the time
