Aaand Labbe.

Giving Gabriel a shot this round.

Genitals, again.

Kahkonen.

I think it's really interesting that Folin, Belpedio, Labbe, and Draeger all project to be similarly ranked defensemen (6.5C), but they're all valued relatively far apart (#7, #11, ?, ?)

Outside of Folin, they were all drafted in the 3rd-4th rounds, and posses similar skills. Belpedio is slightly smaller than both Labbe or Draeger, but was selected ahead of both. I haven't seen enough of them to say whether they're truly comparable players, but their scouting reports are pretty similar.

#7. Folin - Big-bodied, shut-down, most NHL-ready
#11. Belpedio - Two-way, intelligent, doesn't shy away from contact
? Labbe - Gritty, mobile, two-way
? Draeger - Physical, smooth skater, two-way

 

[TaLoN]

Gelinas again.

 

[Puhis]

Kähkönen, damnit. Y'all non-believers for not voting him.

 

[Sarge58]

The Buss, I kept an eye on him since he was drafted and feel he can turn out to be a good 3rd liner and if he has speed I don't know about then he could turn out be that rare generational 3rd liner. No but he could become a third liner with some upside.

 

[Lapa]

Labbé. Good size and seems to have decent upside.

Also, it's awesome to have so many great prospects.

 

[Minnesota]

Kähkönen, damnit. Y'all non-believers for not voting him.

I voted for him a few rounds ago.

 

[keppel146]

Schroeder or mitchell

 

[Jaykay]

Finally! It looks like I'll be able to vote for someone other than Labbe after this one.

that is cause this list is basically a combo of NHL ready versus Potential ceiling.

Folin could be a full timer this year, so he naturally goes higher but Belpedio i believe has a higher offensive ceiling and could have a quicker path to the big show so hes not very far behind, idk much about labbe/draeger but they both sound like 3-4 years away 5/6 potential.
