I cant see valuing players that high who wont even stiff a NHL game for 2-3 more years.
Who is 2-3 years away?
I probably should have voted for Skjei but didn't, either way Skjei is a year or two away same as Duclair in my opinion. They will both get long looks this camp. Both with an outside shot at a spot. Duclair fits a need more and might have a slight edge due to that.
Skjei is probably closer but only a little yet it well likely be harder for him to crack the lineup.
As far as my voting/ranking process I'm kind of looking at ceiling as well as overall development in terms of being ready. Theoretically Allen and McIlrath are probably the two closest on defense but overall Skjei is probably better. Same thing with Duclair, Fast and Kristo may be closer on terms of professional experience, but Duclair is probably the more complete player. Which makes them better prospects in my eyes.
