Seems like there are some uber talented big boys at the top of the class in Martone, McQueen, and Wozniak.
He’s a studAlex Huang is a name i would keep an eye on for next draft.
Very talented RD.
Who is the most closer prospect to Iginla and Leonard in this draft?
Spence
You see him in what range?
I would like to see Habs drafting a profile like Iginla//Leonard.
I'm not sure, 6-12 right now. Don't think he goes before Schaefer, Hagens, Frondell or Martone.
Before Martone and Spence are habs
Another russian Ivan!

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.
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.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.

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)A reminder that too early rankings are just that...too early...lol. Pronman 2024 top 10 from July 2023.

Note that if next year the BPA happens to be a d-man, as it's already scheduled, though it can change, I want the Habs to pick a d-man. Left or right. BPA available. Always. 1st round will be better next year. The entirety of it.forums.hfboards.com

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.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.

Which might be a good reason why Chicago went for Levshunov and not Demidov.and is beyond light on defense. I like Schaefer a lot but it's just him and Hensler right now.
