NHL Draft lottery III - Bruins locked into 5th before ping pong balls.

My top 8, everyone has their own opinions but this is how I draft.
1-Misa
2-Frondell
3-Schaefer
4-Martone
5-Hagens
6-Desnoyers
7-Eklund
8-O'Brien

My dividing line for safe, impact player to not so sure is Hagens at 5. The top 4 I see being impact NHLers, the others I could see being good players but not play drivers or game changers.

No Misa has a special exemption to come into the league a year earlier because of far advanced his skill level was. John Tavares , Aaron Ekblad, Conner McDavid other examples

He was 15 when he joined Saginaw not 14. He was granted exceptional status.

He was born Feb 2007 and played his first game in the 2022-2023 season which made him 15.

Still considered to be a star on any NHL team going forward.

I don't disagree with that. Crosby was generational prospect who became a generational player though and the only prospect at his level in the past 20 years was McDavid imo. I'm certainly not knocking Misa, he's a great prospect who will most likely be a great player.

Misa is some ways reminds me of former Bruin Barry Pederson.

I can see why you say that, but he is bigger than Barry and growing. He also does a lot more work from closer to the net.

I struggle to find a comparable for him. The guys I come up with are either above or below him. Mats Sundin maybe, but Sundin, while overrated, was a more physical beast.

Misa had 134 points this year. Has NHL height. I think he is around 175 pounds. Probably bulk up a bit before playing in the NHL. It's a hell of a jump from Major A to the NHL. Watching Major A playoffs which are on now. If you swatch to a NHL game the difference in speed is incredible.

Oh definitely and a lot of junior players can't hack it in the AHL or even ECHL. I love watching the OHL nonetheless and going to the games is so much cheaper than going to one in Toronto, Buffalo or Detroit.

Saw Sean Day play a few times in junior. Good size kid. Quite a fluid skater. Just never lived up to the billing.

I've heard before that he wasn't passionate about hockey but that could be bs. I think he mainly got early exception status due to his size and skating ability that you mentioned.
