Athletic Pronmans Top 32 for March 25

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

I think Hagens is closer to Cooley than Hughes, but I still take Cooley over anybody in this draft right now.

You take these rankings way too seriously. It's not that big a deal. Hagens is an undersized forward that doesn't have a great two-way game. Desnoyers is a 6'2" two-way forward that has surprised scouts with his production. No need to cry because your favorite player got ranked low

Desnoyers, 6'1.5" 178 lbs -- "great size, tall center"
Hagens 5'10.5" 177 lbs -- "undersized forward"

NHL scouting brain sure is something else

Feels like Pronman doing his typical "reach" for clickbait purposes. I've never found him to be at all reliable.

Pronman reaches all the time (and he did back when he was posting his lists on these boards back in the early 2010s), but there’s no unjustifiable reach here. Desnoyers going 4th overall shouldn’t shock anyone, so putting him at #3 isn’t a big leap from that. A lot of the concerns people have with Desnoyers about his NHL offensive upside are similar concerns people have about Hagens.

Well...that and Q players tend to be overevaluated due to the lack of defense that is played in the league, overall.
 
Pronman originally had Eklund listed as C and Frondell as W. Frondell have mostly played W for Djurgarden but C/W is more correct. Eklund is of course a winger. Ihs-Wozniak has played as C for Lulea U20 and should probably be listed as C/W as well.

I don’t think he knows these players on his list very well. I don’t think many people do. For a fair ranking you need a consolidated list by both NA and European scouts.
