I’m gonna go ahead and pencil Dvorsky in for Montreal given where they are likely to pick and how they’re building team Slovakia over there. Reunite a Slaf-Dvorsky-Mesar line. They’ll draft another buddy for Slaf if it means he may succeed.Wheeler: Ranking the top 64 prospects at the 2023 NHL Draft
The 2023 NHL draft class is rivalled only by 2015 among the talent pools Scott Wheeler has scouted to date.theathletic.com
Wheeler's rankings. I think you more or less see that after six it opens up quite a bit. My back-half of the top ten would differ but it's a matter of taste and also realistically what may best complement this core.
For me after that top six it's Moore pretty easily next from a ceiling/tools standpoint. Then a chunk of Barlow/Leonard/Sale/Reinbacher but YMMV. Cristal and Dvorsky do probably belong as strong considerations at least. Cristal would be a swing for the fences, though you wonder how long they'd wait on his strength/defense coming along. Dvorsky's skating is pretty far from ideal but he does project to be an NHL center and perhaps a pretty balanced two-way one at that. I don't like him as much as Kasper last season but he is probably the most intriguing center otherwise.

Same.Looking at the 9 - 13 range on different rankings lists, nobody jumps out at me as a "Caps type" player. Which should make it that much more interesting.
Hey Langway how about a run down on the college FA this year?There are quite a few Euros and WHLers in that range, though. Dvorsky, Sale, Reinbacher, Yager, Danielson, Cristal. Whereas Barlow and Leonard would be a bit against type, though they definitely need more goal-scorers in the mix so can't rule them out either.
Still, I'd lean to Dvorsky, Sale and Reinbacher as most fitting their general type. Europeans with upside, strong hockey IQ and the maturity to play against relatively high competition vs. men at a young age.
Really good breakdown on the athletic on them if you have access.Hey Langway how about a run down on the college FA this year?
Yea, comparables are often a dodgy evaluation method, with dubious value. I remember CMM being compared to Matthews.2023 NHL Draft ranking: Connor Bedard is still No. 1, but who has moved up?

Some funky rankings and comparables from Pronman. IINM Pronman has bristled at comparables in the past and it's easy to understand why given some of the stylistic curiosities he makes here.
One thing that troubled me in some other ranking as the lack of size being a factor so in the top 10 Pronman rankings make a bit more sense to me.2023 NHL Draft ranking: Connor Bedard is still No. 1, but who has moved up?

I keep seeing Mocks with them taking Leonard.Barring a trade up for Michkov I'm probably all-in on Moore sliding to their pick. It probably won't happen but he's the long-term center option that could in theory be within range. Sort of a Larkin type. Otherwise Barlow, Sale, Leonard or Yager would be fine. Simashev, But, Heidt, Ritchie, Gulyayev, Dragicevic or Ziemmer with the Boston pick.
