Who the **** is Hendrix Lapierre? Sounds like a made up EA NHL prospect.
I think we see Askarov, Stutzle, and Drysdale climb up to that 3rd grouping and Holloway slip down into that 4th group.
He may be one of those players that drops to a point that years later you ask how could he have gone so low?Askarov is arguably the 2nd most talented player in this draft class, but he's going to have the stigma of being a goalie surrounding him.
Currently, I have Lundell & Holloway as the picks in the range.I think Perfetti is a fair alternative in that 5-10 range. Looking forward to "scouting" more of these kids.
Switch Gunler and Holtz and that's my exact list.That analysis of the groupings seems accurate from the lists I’ve read. Of those names, I’d go:
Lafreniere
Raymond
Byfield
Gunler
Lundell
Perfetti
Stutzle
Holtz
Drysdale
Rossi
Barron
Askarov
Lapierre
Holloway
Chromiak, Ponormaryov, Hirvonen, Schneider, and Zary would be the next 5 candidates I expect to rise into that last group.
As of right now I feel like I’m disproportionately high on Lundell compared to most others, but I’m willing to wait to be proved rightLapierre being overly dramatized there. He's good, but not No. 2, ATM. Holloway and Lundell getting under-hyped.... same with Drysdale.
That list will change....
Holtz have had a good start for DIF, so have Gunler for LHF. Raymond must win a spot for Frolunda.
I thought the same thing. Craig needs to make up for the last three drafts not featuring any Canadians vying for the number 1 spot.That's bad.... Heavily Canadian biased....
They're not, but if the Rangers walk away with Lundell, I would do a jig.
What's wrong with Lundell ?
Yes he's not greatest scorer or even best scorer and offensive upside is not high.
But those details won't make him potential bust yet.
I admit that I had a head scratching moment there.Umm... I don’t think you really grasped TB’s text.
Uhm yeah ... looks good.
