Spence is my major hope early, I've been a big fan of his since his U16 days. I'd kill to see him in a Habs jersey, you can build a real winner around guys like him.

Like I said earlier - he could be the Dustin Brown of this build. An attainable target too as I don't think his offensive output is going to be so amazing that he gets picked in the upper end of the top 10.

Erie is going to be middle of the road at best, so he won't have a ton of support to help pad his numbers, that's for sure. He was already the number 2 pointer on his team last season with like 60 points.

Another forward heavy draft, this time with more guys with size and some jam/skill.. things playing out nicely for a team that's gonna pick anywhere from 7-13.
 
A reminder that too early rankings are just that...too early...lol. Pronman 2024 top 10 from July 2023.

1. C Macklin Celebrini
2. LW Cole Eiserman
3. RW Ivan Demidov
4. LD Sam Dickinson
5. RW Michael Brandsegg-Nygard
6. RD Carter Yakemchuk
7. RD Artyom Levshunov
8. LD Aron Kiviharju
9. RD Charlie Elick
10.C Konsta Helenius

Not bad. Quite clear that undersized players have to be special to be drafted early (Kiviharju). Also it seems like player that are unidimensional have a tendency to fall (Eiserman, Elick)

I find such rankings dubious in their very nature, as while I think having a short list is great to start, trying to squeeze players into rankings this early adds yet another unnecessary bias on top of the ones individuals will already have in their assessments.

As such, I refused to get excited on this batch of prospects. Hagens seems like a good bet, while the rest I'm somewhat wary of hyping at this point.

I do not think it is much hype but more assess at the current date what type of talent is upcoming for next year draft. I think it is fine, last year we knew that this year draft was a great year for defenseman, just don't look too much into it but more of an indicator. It seems early on that next year there seem to have more large sized forwards than usual.

and is beyond light on defense. I like Schaefer a lot but it's just him and Hensler right now.

Which might be a good reason why Chicago went for Levshunov and not Demidov.

Exactly why I was feeling good about them going Levshunov. Not really a comfortable path to getting that defenseman next year while they could still end up with Ryabkin, who is not as good as Demidov, but still a good offensive talent in his own right. Or they could end up with a McQueen who gives Bedard some size to play with.
