The Blues 2020 - 2021 Top-20 Prospect List:
1) Klim Kostin - 61.3%
2) Scott Perunovich - 50%
3) Zachary Bolduc - 45.9%
4) Jake Neighbours - 63.8%
5) Simon Robertsson - 35.8%
6) Nikita Alexandrov - 62.1%
7) Joel Hofer - 72.1%
8) Colten Ellis - 33.3%
9) Matt Kessel - 48.8%
10) Alexei Toropchenko - 27.3%
11) Tyler Tucker - 43.6%
12) Leo Loof - 32.4%
13) Tanner Dickinson - 35.7%
14) Vadim Zherenko - 35.3%
15) Dylan Peterson - 48.6
Dylan Peterson takes the 15th spot in the list. I don't have much to say other than he's a fine example of a toolsy player. He's got the aggression, the powerful skating, and the physical presence to be an effective bottom-6 player simply with those tools alone. His play with the puck is basic. Nothing wrong, but nothing that will leave me wanting more. I know pundits highlight his heavy shot, but I don't find it anything special personally. it lacks the refinement in its release I would want to really say it's a weapon that this stage. Yet, there are quite a few big believers in Peterson to be a talented, or at least effective, power forward that could play higher than the 4th line. Again, I think it's mainly due to the tools I praised earlier, but his high tempo game is similar to someone like Kreider at that age. He creates havoc by forcing the defence to react quicker, forcing mistakes, or has the defence push back, giving more space for linemates. The difference being that Kreider's play with the puck was significantly better so he was much more consistent offensive threat. I don't wish to make Peterson sound bad. He has the ability to reach the NHL, I have no doubt about that. I do view him as a Neighbours with even less likelihood to become more than a high-energy middle-6 option. There's nothing wrong with that and the fact we're at #15 and still can find NHL upside is something that should be applauded, regardless if it's a bottom-6 role.
Now, onto #16.
