Reichel I see more of a 2nd rounder, but I wouldn't hate if Avs decide to pick him. With all the junior seasons ending prematurely you probably have at least 15 lads bunched together and not a lot to separate them except their interviews. He's a really good playmaker and sees the ice well, but I will be interested to see if he has high-end potential. He seems like a safe player in that tweener role akin to what Paul Stastny currently is, but as a winger. One of those does everything well players with decent enough talent in playmaking, but not enough talent to push him over the plateau to be a true star. Nonetheless, he's going to be consistent and I guess he's risen in the rankings considering he looked pretty impressive against men.
Peterka is more of my favourite to get in the draft, but I could see a team love him around 13 - 19th if they don't buy the talent in defenders like Guhle or Schneider. Peterka is a much more of a risk and is way more raw than the other two Germans, but I buy him having a potentially high-ceiling if he's able to put his talent together. We also have to consider that perhaps he does have that talent, but playing on one of the best DEL teams limited his opportunity more than the other players in the top leagues. Peterka is more gritty, but he's definitely the most underrated goalscorer for the 1st round prospects. For me he easily has the potential to consistently score 30 to 35 goals in the NHL and why I have him higher than Reichel.
Peterka has some consistency issues, but some of the flashes he displayed during the season and in the WJC has me more of a believer than others. He has that unteachable instinct of where to go for a shooting position, but his ability to find loose pucks and rebounds first than anybody else is what caught my eye during the WJC. If you go look at his highlights, he has this natural ability and hungry desire in his eyes that a lot of his goals are going through the trenches to poke a puck in or find it in someone's skates. I honestly believe he could have Mike Hoffman type of potential even with his raw ability and inconsistencies, that would still be a good find at 31st.
I swear this happened like early last season, but it wouldn't surprise me if Dater missed it until today.
