Strong young Ovi vibes on that one.

Bogdan Trineyev.

Bogdan Trineyev.

The number of terrible nicknames I already have for this kid is embarrassing.

Ranking the top prospects in the 2023 NHL Draft: A midseason update

The 2023 NHL Draft class looks above average, mostly driven by the premium talent in the top four.

theathletic.com

Pronman's mid-season rankings. 6'5'' right shot winger Daniil But (uh-huh-huh) is ranked eighth. Seems rich but given the profile worth noting. One of the other bigger wingers in Honzek (11th) checks off a lot of boxes as well (big, Euro AND in the WHL).

Barlow seems low, Molendyk rather high. Also hard to rank Perreault over Cristall given the similarities with Cristall seemingly being boomier. Overall the top 50 or so seem appealing.

“You don’t mess with the Bogdan”……is a freaking horse.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Hathaway's eventual replacement at RW on the 4th line?

20 years old, 6'3" and about 200, look out!

 

[usiel]

The Bogman and The Holy Trineyev are my leaders.

Is Bogdan that size? If so damn.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Ooh, we want more of that!

 

[Devil Dancer]

Wow

 

[Corby78]

That saucer off a backhand is pretty legit.

 

[DWGie26]

That saucer off a backhand is pretty legit.

Yeah, that was a sick pass and even better play to take it out of the air by Protas.

We need him to score some goals and get that offensive game going!

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Suzy on NHL network right now…just scored…and now an assist. Kid is dangerous every shift…

 

[AlexModvechkin8]

That saucer off a backhand is pretty legit.

That was a Backstrom-level pass. Ridiculous.

 

[YippieKaey]

Lapy- Protas- Miro could be a pretty cool line going forward

 

[GRob83]

That was a Backstrom-level pass. Ridiculous.

That's one of the sickest combinations of pass and execution I can recall seeing.

 

[Ridley Simon]

People keep saying Protas is a bottom 6 player. I don’t think so. His hands and size should allow him to be top 6, assuming his compete meter remains on high.

My biggest question with him is what position he'll play. I think his best spot is at Center, but I can't imagine he'll find a spot in our top 2 center spots.

I personally hope he fills the Eller role as 3C who plays up in sporadically.

 

[twabby]

Protas hasn’t shown the offensive chops to really show to me that he’s a top 6 center. He’s also 22 years old and basically in his prime now. I can see him locking down a 3C spot at some point but top 6 seems like a reach.

22 isn’t prime for kids his size though. More like 24 +
