Top 20 Point Getters (per game) for Main 2011 Draft Prospects

[spikelechien]

Now that most of the junior leagues regular seasons are over (USHL is not) I thought it would be fun to see who were the top point producers of the main prospects for the 2011 draft. The results I found kind of surprising.

The top 20 point producers per game of the main prospects for the 2011 draft (excludes high schoolers) as per what I could find are:

1. 1.66 - Couturier, Sean C - 6’4 195 L - Drummondville QMJHL - 58-36-60-96-36-(+55)

5. 1.49 - Prince, Shane LW - 5’11 185 L - Ottawa OHL - 59-25-63-88-18-(+43)
6. 1.42 - Phillips, Zack RW - 6’0 180 R - Saint John QMJHL - 68-38-57-95-16-(+48)
7. 1.38 - Pribyl, Daniel F - 6’3 190 R - HC Sparta Praha U20 CZE U20 - 39-25-29-54-20
8. 1.30 - Granlund, Markus C - 5’10 163 L - HIFK U20 FIN U20 - 40-20-32-52-49
9. 1.27 - Kichton, Brenden D - 5’11 185 R - Spokane WHL - 54-23-58-81-31-(+55)
10. 1.27 - Grimaldi, Rocco C - 5’6 161 R - US NDP U18 - 49-33-29-62-57

[Fearless]

Comparing people in different leagues doesn't really make sense based on points..

 

[leoleo3535]

Different leagues, different roles.

Interesting to look at but nothing teams would be using in accessing talent and or draft selections.

 

[asmodeanreborn]

As much as I'm a homer for Friberg (he'll be the first kid ever drafted from what I consider my hockey home town), he does not belong in that collection of players.

 

[BIG BLUE]

Andy Andreoff is a May 1991, Teams can probably sign him when Oshawa's season is over

How are the results "kind of surprising"?

How are the results "kind of surprising"?

The surprises for me:
1. In terms of the big 4 (Couturier, Strome, Huburdeau, RNH), the big faller on many lists (not mine) comes out no 1 - Couturier.
2. Some 2nd rounders on most lists came out right after the big 4 - Prince and Phillips
3. Some overagers are doing really well and bear a second look - Kichton, Ferlin, Kudrna and Andreoff.
4. Some Euros are putting up big numbers - Pribyl and Granlund - and need to be put on close watch @ the U18’s.
5. Two of my favourites really are putting up good numbers - Puempel and McNeill.

These things are only surprising if you pay too much attention to stats.

 

[elduderino]

You forgot Bärtschi of the Portland Winterhawks.

My bad, you are correct:

9. 1.29 - Baertschi, Sven LW - 5' 10 185 - Portland WHL - 66-34-51-95-74-(+23)

 

[Tormentor]

Some Euros are putting up big numbers - Pribyl and Granlund - and need to be put on close watch @ the U18’s.

Pribyl is too old to play at the WU18C's.

Also, it's a bit misleading to have Friberg on that list since he isn't playing in a junior league.

[Granlund2Pulkkinen*]

I forgot how well Granlund was playing in the U20's..

EDIT: Why did Jesper Kokkonen go to MoDo?

And is it safe to say that Tomi Wilenius won't get drafted?

 

[hawksfan50]

Who would you rather draft a 1.3 PPG guy at 5'10 163 OR a 6'5 203 guy FROM THE SAME TEAM at a 1.2PPG? (Granlund vs. Salminen respectively of the HIFK Jrs)?

 

[PlayMakers]

What's the deal with Brenden Kichton? He seems to be lighting it up, and I haven't heard much about him...

Yeah, no kidding... all his junior stats are very impressive actually.

 

[Tormentor]

Why did Jesper Kokkonen go to MoDo?

Probably because things weren't working out for him in Finland. Going to this season I thought that he was one of the top draft prospects in Finland, but little did I know. It's almost like he regressed from last season, totally lost on the ice, doing wrong things at a wrong time. So many good attributes, but it's all going to waste.

And is it safe to say that Tomi Wilenius won't get drafted?

He's a good player, but at 5'9'' you have to question his pro potential, seems unlikely that he would get drafted.
