These guys are way too young and way too early in their development to put any definitive title on them, but thus far you’d have to say Puljujarvi, if forced to pick one.
In that case considering how young and early in development these guys are, it’s more guessing than anything. Not that there’s anything wrong with forecasting the future, but nothing definitive can be stated on this draft class for a few years yet.That's why I said who will not who is
I can't figure out what his hockey IQ is, but McLellan and now Hitchcock are definitely setting him up to fail.Puljujarvi, but Im not particularly convinced its his fault.
Did both coaches not give him some time here and there with McDavid. I’d think if he succeeded in those opportunities, he’d have been given more. Granted, my argument would be that he may not be ready for that role just yet, but the notion that his coaches are setting him up to fail seems a stretch to me.I can't figure out what his hockey IQ is, but McLellan and now Hitchcock are definitely setting him up to fail.
I feel like I'm watching Magnus Paajarvi's development all over again.
He had a stretch with McDavid last season and actually looked really good. It had me thinking we had something with him. Then he took a bad penalty and lost his spot. I'm exaggerating but only a little. There are some guys who have really long leashes and others who have none. For some reason, Puljujarvi has always been a guy who isn't allowed to make a mistake without being benched.Did both coaches not give him some time here and there with McDavid.

He's playing under 10 minutes a game right now. Get him in the top 6 with some powerplay time or put him in the minors.
I called Logan Brown a future bust the second he was drafted, so I'll stick with that.
Dude was only ranked that high because of his height. If he was 5ft11, he'd have been a 3rd rounder.
