I see we’ve reached the point where the engagement falls off a cliff

I see we’ve reached the point where the engagement falls off a cliff

Actually kinda surprising given that quite a few of these guys are debatably of the same calibre of prospect.

I'll keep voting for Nesty here though.

Hinds, Sidorov, and Nesterenko look like the next tier. Although, I find it very odd that Sidorov is being touted while Pastujov is not. They're essentially the same type of player, except that Pastujov is a year ahead on the career projection model: CHL to AHL to NHL. Pastujov was a rookie last year in the AHL, with a 0.50 ppg rate.

The next grouping after them would probably be Terrance, Pitre, Kukkonen, Warren, and Moore. I am expecting a big production season out of Kukkonen, now that he's transferred to a new school.

Myatovic's season was plagued with injuries and I have no idea where he should go, despite being first pick of the 2nd round in 2023.

 

[Anarchynate]

Everyone is sleeping on Massé. Watch his highlights if you haven’t. He’s going to be player for a long time in the league.

Ya I woulda been happy with masse with our 2nd round pick….

Steal where we got him, think he’ll be a decent player.

Like him siderov or hinds now

Tarin Smith going to jump up our rankings next season too

I guess Massé would be in the same conversation with Sidorov and Pastujov: slow skating, big time scorers. They all dropped (or not drafted) because of their lack of skating.

I see we’ve reached the point where the engagement falls off a cliff

I was holdong off because I was undecided

 

[tomd]

I voted Moore b/c he's a RHD with great size and can skate. If he is healthy and will sign, I think he's the remaining prospect who has the potential for the best NHL career.

 

[Hey234]

At this point in the rankings, I have to go with likelihood of actually playing NHL games and Nesterenko seems like the most likely. There is a fair argument for a few players here but that's my reasoning.
