Thanks for posting this! If you dont mind I had a few thoughts/questions.
1. Perfetti at 5 above Rossi and Raymond suggests you are a big fan. What are your thoughts when it comes to Perfetti over those 2 guys?
2. I like that you arent in the Quinn and Sanderson hype train. I like both of these guys but I wouldnt grab either in the top 10.
3. What do you like about Guhle? Do you think he has top pairing potential? I see a great athlete but I'm not sure I see a great hockey player.
4. I also started watching a lot of Bourque clips after some of the posters on here pointed him out. I'm happy to see you have him high.
5. Mercer seems a little low. I really like what I saw from this kid. I have him and Bourque close. What do you think is holding Mercer back?
6. I keep flip flopping on Peterka and Reichel. I think Reichel is the safer pick. What put Peterka ahead for you?
7. I dont see William Wallinder on the list. Not a fan?
1. Absolutely love Perfetti his Hockey Sense, Hands, and Playmaking are top notch and his shot is pretty good as well. The only thing that makes people hesitant is his skating but I think he’s going to be able to improve on it and even if he doesn’t I don’t think he’ll have a problem adapting to the NHL.
2. I’m sure Sanderson and Quinn will be good players but I’m not buying the top 10 hype.
3. For me I always tend to lean towards guys who are great skaters. He just moves so well and has the size a defender needs to excel in his own end. As far as the offensive side of the game goes I think he’ll be able to improve on what he did this season. I wouldn’t go as far as saying he has top pair potential but I think he can definitely be an anchor on a solid second pair.
4. Bourque is a fantastic player he always seems to have the puck on his stick making plays and he also has a fantastic shot which I don’t think gets enough love.
5. For me I really like Mercer’s motor but outside of that I don’t see a standout skill that in my opinion would take him ahead of the guys above him, I also don’t see him as a centre at the next level.
6.I would also agree Reichel is the safer pick but I just see more potential to produce offence from Peterka.
7. He’d be somewhere in my top 50 but I don’t think he’s going to be able to post enough offence to be seen as anything more then a #4 dman.
