What are the potential time lines with our F prospects with top 6 ceilings? Are we looking at Hallander and Bellerive? I'm guessing Angello and Lafferty might be top 9 ceilings?
I guess I'd call Hallander, Bellerive, Drozg and Almeida our semi-realistic top 6 ceiling people at the moment. Guys like Bjorkqvist, Angello, Lafferty etc.etc. could end up top 6 players like Rust but I'm not comfortable calling that.
In any case, all of them are eligible to play for WBS next year. There's a decent chance Hallander stays in Sweden but you've got to imagine the rest are straight in.
Bellerive is probably the most likely to get in quickly due to a better two-way game and having filled out his frame more. It wouldn't surprise anyone all that much if he was a part of the main show by the end of next season.
I think Almeida could well burn up all his waiver exemption before getting a serious shot due to his size. It sounds like he desperately needs to put on some weight. Drozg is the wild card here, I'm not sure too many know enough about him to make forecasts.
As for Hallander - I recall reading one article forecasting him as being ready in 20-21 but that was before he made a big impression on the SHL.
