Well put. That probably is the case. My favourite player on this team is Mackinnon but I dont care if hes captain. There was only one time where I questioned Landeskogs captaincy and that was the day he received it (Wanted ROR to be our Captain) I haven't called his C into question. Ragging on his poor play on the ice is one thing but to constantly call his captaincy into question after he misses a pass is a whole other thing.

Back to Jost. ...hes been fantastic over the last month now. It looks like hes getting better and better with each game. When he figures it all out hes gonna be a very good one for us.

Teemu is definitely #1. While they will put up some good numbers I'm sure, Bobby Holik had a pretty good career (2 cups and 2-time all-star) and was taken #10 the year after Selanne. But yeah, both appear to have better upsides than many other #10s.
Other interesting names taken at #10 since 1980: Jim Fox, Martin Lapointe, Jocelyn Thibault, Radek Dvorak, Andrei Kostitsyn, Luc Bourdon (RIP), and Cody Hodgson (who we all know is better than Duchene thanks to Canuckleheads.)

Some people ridiculously compared him to Jonathan Toews. If he ends up 25% of Toews quality, I'd be very happy. His ceiling is 3C tops to me.

Jost really isn't much like Toews. He can be very dynamic with the puck, we're starting to see that in the NHL now. Toews is certainly skilled himself, but it's not as much as part of his game as his elite two-way play and work around the net. Jost has more raw puck skill, but a lot less of the "intangibles" that Toews is known for.

#2c, solid 2 way player, 50+ point center with maybe a few 60+ seasons if development goes well.

If you are relatively young and happen to play ice hockey and from finland, then yes you absolutely know who Rantanen is. Others not so much. Up until recently this season, iltalehti has started to brought up Rantanen News with Laine Press and Aho Tribune. I mean he's relatively unknown still

Yes, I'm serious - comparing him to Jonathan Toews is a joke, and if you say otherwise, then I don't know what to say.

I understand he's 19, so he probably has a lot of strength and conditioning to come, but I don't see the skill and wheels to be a raw number 2. YES, he might become a 2C here in Colorado, but I'd put that down to lack of depth down the middle skill wise, than him being a legit #2. Quality 2-way 3C capable of putting up 15-20 goals, and another 15-20 assists, but that's where I see him. Bednar is playing him on the 4th line right now, which is good development wise, but I think he as a ways to go.
Suggesting that, versus he is Jonathan Toews, sorry - your perception is way off track.
This is kind of hilarious to read from Sea Eagles. The guy who is overly optimistic over just about everything, is overly negative towards one of the guys who deserves his optimistic praise?
Jost most definitely has a ceiling significantly higher then that of a 3C, and his play the last month suggests he's already at or above that level of a player.

That is not what I said. Landy does not need to be our top leading goal scorer to be our Captain. Landy needs to be more consistant in his overall game and as a Captain on this team I expect him to show by example. I expect a Captain to be a game changer when things are not looking too good, when we need that spark. It does not need to be a goal but as a Captain I expect Landy to be a game changer in other way, maybe a hit, maybe a great pass, maybe a takeway, someting that our prospects like Jost, Kerfoot, Vladie, Compher can look and learn from Landy.

Toews is like Paul Stastny without the passing but a better shot. I dont know whose comparing Jost to Toews but thats not the first thing I see when I see Jost. Jost really is more like Zach Parise.

Someone mentioned it earlier but I see a lot of Evgeny Kuznetsov in Jost. Not as much patience but that's to be expected because very few hold onto the puck like Kuzy but similar playing styles offensively.

Not Great, Bob!
Yep. People who don't follow hockey won't know him. It's a select group but that's not the case with Selänne, Saku Koivu and possibly a few others. And then there's another group of people of casual hockey followers, I suspect, who do know the likes of Mikko Koivu, Tuomo Ruutu, Granlund and Laine, "but who's this Rantanen?"

You're underrating him massively imo. I expect him to become a solid 2C, maybe even an okay 1C in a couple of years.
Um, seriously? I would like a little clarification on this before I laugh you off the internet (if warranted).
If you are talking best Swedish captain of the Avs....yes, by default.
If you are talking most talented Swedish captain of Tre Kronor, I would like to point out Zetterberg, Sundin or some scrub named Lidstrom.
Same list for the NHL, but add another bender by the name of Forsberg, or even Alfredsson. And maybe others I am forgetting.
On the subject of Jost....I think he is starting to get comfortable in the NHL. Time to give him that 2C spot with the other rookies flanking him, and let them feast on matchups.
