[FinPanda]

1. Lafreniere
2. Raymond
3. Byfield
4. Lundell
5. Holtz

Raymond probably is my favourite player and that is the first time I've actually preferred a Swede over a Finn as my favourite.

 

[Polar Bear]

Lafreniere and Raymond are my top two as of now. I know a good amount of people are also very high on Byfield, but I have a hunch he might not take as giant of a leap next season as some are expecting. We'll see though.

I haven't seen much of this class yet, but Byfield looks like a top 5 pick to me. His skating is insane for a guy his size.

Likes like a prime lucic with a better offensive toolset


Also can someone tell me who the consensus 2021 pick is I know things can change but I’ve heard wright and savoie both. I think those are the names this was a long time ago.

Wright and Savoie are 2022.

He has great tools, but I am curious to see if he can take a huge next step in production. I am a little concerned he won't, but we'll see.

 

[UK Canuck]

the top 10 looks very deep in 2020

His production was pretty darn impressive last year considering the team he was playing for didn't have much offensive talent to go around. I mean, he led the team in scoring as a 16-year-old. I hope Sudbury can put together a competitive team for him to play on, but they might have a tough time with Luukkonen graduating to the pros. Even if he doesn't have much talent to work with, I can't see him scoring less than 80-85 points, assuming a healthy season.

We'll see, with his size and skill I expected a bit more last year even at 16. I would like to see him get around 1.3-1.5 PPG next year ideally. I think he has the raw talent and skill to do so.

Yep, on paper it looks really, really good. Still need the top prospects (even Lafreniere to a degree) to take that next step though.

[JAS 39 Gripen]

Whats the story on lafreniere? How does he campare to other notable #1 OAs? Curious, since everyone have him at nummer one. Is he way ahead of everyone? Is he a RNH #1, Hall, or Hishier?

 

[king89]

Haven't seen much of Lundell. How does he compare to recent top Finnish prospects such as Kakko/Laine/Barkov?

Well if you had asked before the U18 WJC i would say he is slightly below them but now no. He is somewhere between a top 5 to top 10 pick.
