Should we stop at say #30 or do we rank them all?

 

[Jacko95]

I would say stop at 35, if I count correct this is the number the last prospect with at least a 1% chance of making it to the NHL is ranked. Not saying anybody from now on will though.

Ikonen is pretty safe guy IMO. He has nice two-way game and grit so I think he'll be a good third liner - not necessarily in Tampa though.

 

[Lord Stan 2020]

I really like Ikonen to be honest. He did well in the world scrimmages. Is also other Ikonen's not sure relatives who are good in finland. He is supposed to have a good all around two way game good size etc.. He does have a questionable shot but plenty of time to get better.

He is not related to jusso who had an nhl father.
But is jasse and juho ikonen's also so not sure if is related to some guy playing over there.

I have to go though here high risk high reward and jimmy or james mullin is that guy. He keeps gaining a little muscle each year still has two years of college and has though offensive play to make those he play with a lot better.

 

[Bolt32]

Voted mullin. Remember at the prospect camp he was sniping the hell out of the goalies. Come scrimmage time he just couldn't do it anymore. He has the talent to be a Freddy Modin player, just now its the mental part. Putting it all together.

I agree on this, 35 is a good number for such deep prospect pool
