I remember when we used to he 20 prospects deep.

Then Suzuki, Caufield, Romanov, Harris, Guhle, Barron, Xhekaj, RHP, Slaf and Ylonen graduated. 10 prospects in a short time.

super unpopular comment: why did we draft mesar if he is already behind a bunch of nobody's like farrell and heineman?

Lol that's like the most likeable comment on this board these days.

Mesar had a tough D+1. Obviously management saw/sees more in him than he's shown this far.

Still quite early, but a lot of people are writing him off.

I also think there's an element of floor vs ceiling going on here. A player like Heineman has a path the NHL that seems more clear cut than Mesar.

They drafted Mesar because they liked the prospect and they should have.

I guarantee you the management team is not as down on Mesar as fans are, they have a wider view than recency bias. They don't tend to throw out everything good a prospect did to focus on the negatives.

Both mesar and farell have a higher ceiling than Heiny, But I went with Farell because of the experience.

Because he was friends with the other bad draft pick. 2022 is gonna hunt us forever.

Nemec/Jiricek/Cooley
+
Kulich/Firkus/Bystedt

Sigh...
How is Slafkovsky a bad pick ? I agree Mesar pick wasn't really good but he didn't look lost as a 18 yrs old, Cooley Jiricek Nemec would have looked way worse than him in the NHL

I still think we are 20 or so deep.
We've got 6 so far, plus 10 to be voted for, minus Primeau, whi isn't a good prospect for me.

So that's 15. Are there 5 good prospects in the to add list? It's debatable. I like Davidson and Simoneau. Hopefully Rohrer can get back in the picture. And maybe Bogdan has some upside to be a slick undersized D. The other 2023cpicks and Nurmi may have some potential. So it's close.

I like Heineman's ceiling if he can stay healthy. That package of speed, size, a good work ethic, and a good shot translates well to the NHL.

Will be interesting to see if he can steal a spot, especially with Dvo out to start the year.
