IMO:

SJS
MTL
ANA
OTT
DET
CHI

IMO:

SJS
MTL
ANA
OTT
DET
CHI

I don’t think you could put Chicago last purely because of Bedard

funny how the Red Wings top prospect was left off, but Seider is Seider, and Edvinsson is playing some amazing hockey right now, so it's understandable.

ASP is tearing up the SHL and will be a stud PP QB in a year or 2

 

[MNRube]

Boldy-Rossi-Yurov
Buium-Faber
Wallstedt

For Anaheim, Luneau is probably ahead of Zellweger long term and Clara ahead of Suchanek.

For Ottawa I would switch Ostapachuk with Ridley Greig.

Yeah makes sense. Done.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Montreal has the best young group of players in the league.

Hutson will be a top 5-10 defenseman at his best. Slafkovsky will be a PPG winger with highly desirable physical attributes. Demidov will be Kaprizov+. Fowler will be a top 10 goaltender in the league.

 

[Xirik]

Why limit to those teams?

What other teams are currently in their rebuild window?

Exactly and I think the better question might have been which team has the best U24 group.

That being said, aside from goalies which is too hard to predict, Detroit has the group of 5 I'd least like to play in the playoffs just a really solid well balanced group.

Sieder is also having a really quiet but excellent start to the year so far.

 

[CanadienShark]

Tough call. Hard to rank, but I wouldn't argue against any of: Montreal, Ottawa, Anaheim, or SJ as the top 4 in any order.

 

[Bouboumaster]

I voted Montreal because of bias, but I truly believe they have the most talent there

The only question mark is Guhle, who often gets hurt, but when he plays, he's a beast

I understand the need to draw the line somewhere, but it's difficult to rate for example Anaheim while pretending they don't have a 24 year old Dostal, or to ignore that Detroit has MBN, ASP, Augustine etc. while a team like Ottawa literally has nothing outside of those players listed.

Hutson will be a top 5-10 defenseman at his best. Slafkovsky will be a PPG winger with highly desirable physical attributes. Demidov will be Kaprizov+. Fowler will be a top 10 goaltender in the league.

The problem with any rebuild is that it's incredibly unlikely that most (or any) of these guys hits their fan-assessed ceiling.

I think it's more likely that Hutson ends up akin to the pure offensive smaller D of that past (Krug), that Demidov doesn't reach the heights of Kaprizov (still a top 6 forward though) and that Fowler isn't a staring franchise goalie.

I'm not saying any of the above can't happen, but we see this every year, especially with guys who really get hyped up by the draft/prospects. Most players just don't progress the way everyone thinks.

I feel like Clara over sucahnek for Anaheim…. But our young goalie is already a starter in nhl, and will be for the foreseeable future(dostal, 24)

San Jose imo will be scariest going forward
