Prospect Info: Sens Board Prospects Ranking 2022 #3

[Xspyrit]

As we have been doing since 2004, we are going to use the HF criterias for prospect eligibility (less than 65 NHL games and under 25 y/o). Anyway, I don't see a debate for any candidate this year so that makes it easier

Remember to vote based on all factors and not just NHL readiness. Overall skillset, hockey IQ, upside potential vs floor, age, stats, skating ability, array of shots, leadership qualities, size/strength, etc

Personally, I always ask myself, who would I draft BPA among these players?

Try to do some research on these kids, particularly the most recent ones. People are free to post links and videos about some of the prospects that should be voted soon, or even try to persuade others why a guy should be voted next! Spread info to help people vote.


Graduated players from 2021 (who are still in the organization) :

Erik Brännström and Alex Formenton. I'm also not including Vitali Abramov as he won't be back to NA before 25 y/o at least


To be added :

Tomas Hamara
Mark Kastelic
Philippe Daoust
Maxence Guénette
Oliver Johansson
Leevi Merilainen
Benjamin Roger
Kevin Mandolese
Carson Latimer
Cole Reinhardt
Jonathan Aspirot
Chandler Romeo
Jakov Novak
Jonny Tychonick
Luke Loheit
Filip Nordberg
Oskar Pettersson
Stephen Halliday
Jorian Donovan
Cameron O'Neill
Kevin Reidler
Theo Wallberg
Tyson Dyck

Same could have been said for poll #1 and #2 but we have been "patient" because of potential trades including prospects.

True. Shudder at that thought still, but true.

 

[Cosmix]

After Greig it will get more interesting. I plan to vote for Lassi!

 

[edguy]

After Greig I think it's between JBD, Thomson, and Boucher.

I almost think I actually like Boucher better then both the RHD prospects

 

[Emerica]

There's a clear top-3, then it gets interesting

 

[Tuna99]

Where are we on Angus Crookshank?

 

[Micklebot]

Where are we on Angus Crookshank?

12th option on the poll?

 

[Xspyrit]

I almost think I actually like Boucher better then both the RHD prospects

Outside of WHERE he was picked, I don't see what Boucher has on guys like Sogaard, Thomson, JBD, Ostapchuk and Jarventie. They are much better prospects at the moment. Keep in mind Boucher was seen as a late first round pick by pretty much the whole hockey planet. The guys named aboved were picked higher/near the end of the first AND have progressed well since.

I think he should be more debatable in the tier with guys like Sokolov and Kleven

Crooked is awesome. He's my darkhorse this year to really surprise out of camp (again).

I think in terms of progress after their drafts, it's hard to not have Ostapchuck in the coversation at least.

 

[dumbdick]

Kind of sad to see how empty the cupboards are right now. Especially since Sandy and Pinto are already locks for the roster.

I really hope we have another blue chipper or two emerge for us, especially on the back end.

It happens when all your top prospects graduate to the big club.

 

[dumbdick]

Duplicate

 

[Dan Patrick]

I think in terms of progress after their drafts, it's hard to not have Ostapchuck in the coversation at least.

I think Osta is a half step behind the other three. Theres just less organizational need for him and he's got slightly less pedigree to Boucher. Both had dissapointing seasons relative to draft place but both have looked good in dev camp. Boucher has a better chance of bouncing back (normal offseason, no major injuries, etc.)

JBD has a lower ceiling but I feel has a higher likelihood of playing meaningfully with the big club and vice versa for Thomson.

Probably going to vote Bouche, JBD, then Thomson for that reason. Ostapchuk is the clear cut 7th though.

 

[dumbdick]

Duplicate. DERP!

We lack the blue chip guys but I think we have a good group of guys with NHL potential to fill out a roster. I think all of Boucher, JBD, Thomson, Sokolov, Kleven, and Ostapchuk will carve out decent careers. Guys like Kastelic, Kelly, and Crookshank too. They might not ever be top 6/4 players on a regular basis, but good depth is important

Besides, our top 6 right now is Norris (23), Batherson (24), Tkachuk (22) Stutzle (20), Debrincat (24) and Giroux (34). Then we have Pinto (21). There isn't much room for a blue chip forward for the next while...

On D, we could use another top prospect though, would have been nice to get a guy like Jiricek, but I'm more than happy with DeBrincat. Maybe on or more of Roger, Romeo, Norberg, Donovan or Hamara turn out to be gems.

 

[PatrickEaves]

Would be nice if we could find another Zub out of nowhere though.

Outside of numbers with so many missed games, Boucher has size, skating (balance, speed), shooting, and underrated playmaking - a potential power forward. He is a meaner Josh Anderson if he can regularly find the back of the net, or a bottom-6 NHLer if he doesn’t reach his offensive potential.

 

[saskriders]

After this it gets interesting.

 

[Qward]

I am going to vote Boucher every time just to tick people off.

 

[Micklebot]

I think Osta is a half step behind the other three. Theres just less organizational need for him and he's got slightly less pedigree to Boucher. Both had dissapointing seasons relative to draft place but both have looked good in dev camp.

I'm not at all disapointed with Ostapchuk's season, actually I find he's shown excellent progress. His playoff performance has him up there with the the best in the CHL. Kid was among the younger picks in the draft, he's going to turn some heads next season if he hasn't already.

 

[SpezDispenser]

After Greig it will get more interesting. I plan to vote for Lassi!

f***ing spoiler alert. Come on man.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Close between Greig and Sogaard for me. Went Greig but not decisively
