[ricky0034]

Rasmussen

add Pope

 

[waltdetroit]

Razzle-dazzle

add G Smith

 

[Shaman464]

Ras, but the next few are interchangeable parts, none seem to be elite players, but will be middle 6/middle pairing players.

 

[rhef3]

Raz

Add g.smith

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Rasmussen add Givani Smith.

 

[Frk It]

The Czech boys are #1 and #2 for me, going with Hronek here.

Add Saarijarvi

 

[NickH8]

Rasmussen, I think he's more likely to translate to the NHL than Hronek or Cholowski since defense is harder. If Cholowski or Hronek hit though they will be better.

Edit: Add Hicketts

 

[Hatter of the Beach]

Add Givani Smith

 

[KJoe88]

I went Hronek. Was very close between him and Rasmussen

 

[Fowler524]

Add Givani Smith

 

[Ezekial]

It just occurred to me that I forgot about Givani Smith in my top 10 prospects list. I would've definitely put him over Hicketts/Saari

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

A middle 6 forward over a 2/3 defenseman? I’m going to wager a guess it’s because Rasmussen went 9th overall.

Quit using semantics to mis-represent a player. Middle-six and top-six could both mean second line.

After Zadina - you are going to have a wide variance of opinion on the ceiling of the remaining players, and how likely they are to reach that ceiling.

Why? Smith hasn't done anything noteworthy since been a reach pick in the draft.

I think there's a distinction. A middle 6 forward is one who bounces between a second and third line, a top 6 will be one that can and sometimes does get 1st line minutes.

I see him as a bottom 6er, I don't see Hicketts or Saarijarvi as surefire NHLers.

 

[RabidBadger]

Ras. Time for me to start beating the drum for Setkov again...please add.

 

[TheMule93]

Hronek pretty easily for me. I like his upside.

 

[Shaman464]

I see him as a bottom 6er, I don't see Hicketts or Saarijarvi as surefire NHLers.

I see him as a guy who probably won't make it in the NHL because his skill set is one that is being cracked down on. If this were 10 or more years ago I could see him being a staple of a 4th line though.

Still has different meanings for different people. I would bet on Rasmussen being a 30+20, JVR type winger. JVR was technically a 3rd liner.

I guess what I want is to say what you actually think the player will be production/skill wise instead of vague labels.
