Yager is right there as well. Dvorsky has been up and down as well.
We'll see how it eventually stacks up to 2015.

I think this draft is going to be right up there. Not a lot of bust potential in that top 4.
I think the top 10 this year might be the best since 2015 at least, the talent is crazy!

Adds an assist in the first period which means he now leads Örebro in points.

Just added 2 assists in 4v4 play. 10 points in 11 games. 10 minutes left.

Super impressive player. Better playmaker then I thought going into the season battling for that number 2 spot with Fantilli and Michkov
It's very possible.
I scrolled through the drafts back to 2000 and it seems there's almost always 1 disappointment chosen in the top 4.
2009 had a solid top 4 and might be the one to beat.
I only looked at the top 4 picks, not the 4 best players from a draft, which would be very different.

This is a really incredible single game reel.
For those who watch Carlson’s full games, there’s a comparison that I’m curious about since his numbers so far can’t really be compared to any other recent draft eligible player in the SHL: Sasha Barkov.
I watched a ton of Barkov’s games in his draft year due to the the NHL lockout and to me it was obvious that Barkov was a future star. He was so good at everything and had no weaknesses other than maybe his skating and frankly was a dominant player even as a 17 year old. I know that Leo is a late birthday (whereas Barkov was almost eligible for the 2014 draft), but can anyone who watches Carlsson frequently speak to how he might compare to Barkov?

I don't think that's the comparison I would go with.
I'm hesitant to say it, but f*** it...
...Leo Carlsson reminds me of young Mats Sundin.

That’s high praise.
Rather than stylistic, I more meant in terms of how dominant he’s been as a 17 year old in a European men’s league. No one has been as good as Carlsson in the SHL in a long time, but Barkov was that good in Liiga.
Add Yager…may be the best top 5 I’ve ever seen! 5 guys with superstar upside!

To be fair, at the time of the 2015 draft McDavid, Eichel, Strome, Marner, and Hanifin all looked like complete studs.

That's kind of proving the point isn't it? That's an epic top 5 by any measure.
- One generational player
- Two absolute superstars
- Hanifin hasn't hit the heights we wanted but is still a 22-24 minute a night #2/3 rock
- Even Strome isn't a bust...he's got a tremendous number of warts but he's a very productive offensive player when healthy
The beauty of this draft like 2015 isn't just the top 5 though...it's the depth that may field a Rantanen, Barzal, Connor, Werenski, Provorov, Chabot, etc outside the top 5. This isn't simply a good year to tank...it's a good year to have a great scouting staff.

Had a really nice rush at 4 on 4 around 6 minutes into the first period... Good finish, too, but great save. If he had scored on that...
Scouts at the game apparently were all standing up.

His rush:
Could've had a few apples today(I believe one of the resulting shots was saved by the goalie's stick), but alas. Later into the game they started double shifting him on the PP to make something happen for the team, which helped the team get the 2-1 GWG.
