Low shot totals by BU this period.

Only one shot generated from their just elapsed PP and NU almost scored their 3rd.

Now I know this is a hypothetical and you don't need to dignify this with a response.

If you legitimately took height of the equation, would you feel the same way? Wouldn't Farell have the most interesting offensive output out of the 3 prospects?

I'm not underrating Heineman or Ylonen, I understand what they can* potentially bring in a bottom 6 is tangibly higher than a similarly low productive Farell. I'm of the opinion that Farell has a higher offensive IQ and playmaking ability than the other 2 and if somehow that can translate, we make a 4th round pick into something in our top 9 moving forward.....
You are looking at projectable tools, some people have been comparing Heineman to a Lehkonen with a better shot, better goalscoring and thats a pretty accurate comparison IMO, Heineman is even bigger and possibly has even better top speed, kid could become a legitimate 25 goals scorer in the league, I would say that would be absolute fantastic middle 6 production, a swiss knife you can use everywhere. As for Ylonen, I see him as a tier below Heineman, but kid still pocesses some great NHL tools and still can be a pretty legit middle 6 IMO.

As for Farrell, he does have very good creativity and some nice offensive awarenesses, but personally I just cant overlook the lack of size/strength and average skating, thats part of the package. Not saying he has no NHL potential, but the odds arent very high from my point of view, at that point of his development.

Levi comes up big on the last play. Plus, BU gets a penalty.

His skating is average at best and kid lacks overall strength. Im not saying he is a bad prospect, but I would have a hard time ranking him in our top 10.
Please give your head a shake. He is not a burner but his skating is sufficient especially with a high hockey IQ like him. He was one of the best prospect at our rookie camp(if not the best) and he has been very good at the NCAA. Is he guaranteed to be a NHL player? No, but I would rather bet on him succeeding than a guy with top notch skating with average IQ.
Not top 10 is quite honestly insulting.

If we had a Leafs like prospects pool, it would be indeed insulting.

Watched the end of the AHL all star game before the beapot and I must say Woll looks pretty good.

He went to BU turned pro and played 15 games per year (injuries?) since.

This year he's on fire:
2.3613104390.930


Yeah, Leafs fans are super excited about him. He managed to play a full year his rookie season, but he's had injuries every year since then including this season. He's only played 14 games.

He's no longer waivers exempt next September, so we'll see what they'll do with him.

Montreal has decisions to make regarding their own goalies: Primeau (also no longer waivers exempt in September), Dichow (needs an NHL contract by June or we lose his rights), Dobes (to sign or one more NCAA year?) & Vrbetic.
