Hagens but it's close. I like Frondell alot. A hell of alot... but it's still Hagens for me. Talk to me in a couple of months though and that might change.
 
Has Hagens been that bad since the WJC or what am I missing?

Huge gap for me between him and the other two.

And Martone? Eklund? Where are they in the conversation? Oh sorry I guess it's only about Cs my bad.
 
I am going to have to do some research on Frondell and Desnoyers to give an answer here.

I think it’s size and two way play concerns that have people leaning in other directions.
 
Hagens > Frondell >>>>>>> Desnoyers

Frondell has 14 points in his last 7 games (against men) while playing around 13 minutes a night. If he finishes the season strong with Djurgården and has a great u18 he might be the second forward of the board after Misa.
 
Personally, I’m leaning Frondell. Hagens not dominating like Celebrini, or even Fantilli is a concern. His size vis a vis the rest of the young centers on the team or prospects is a potential downside too.

I think it's a combo of prospect fatigue and he isn't really dominating the NCAA like you'd like to see for a top pick. Especially since he's among the oldest players in the draft and his team is pretty stacked- you'd feel better about his pro projection at his size if he was generating offense at a higher clip.

Still have him ahead of any other forward besides Misa personally

I would take Hagens and not have any doubt about it. I like Frondell and I could see a world where they prefer him to Martone but Hagens is going to be a good one.
 
Hagens deserves more respect for now but this may change after the U18 Worlds. Misa and Frondell have more games remaining

I'm not high on Desnyoyers.

Right now, it's Hagens > Frondell, but there is still time for Frondell to take the lead. He's been excellent the past month or so.

For comparison's sake, Frondell is nearly the same size as Dalibor Dvorsky (Blues pick at 10th overall in 2023). Both are considered 2-way centers. DD had only 14pts in 38 games in his draft year in Allsvenskan. Frondell has 16pts in his last 10 games in that same league.

That's how good AF has been recently; without his injuries to start the year, he'd be in that Schaefer/Misa/Hagens/Martone group at the top of the draft. And yeah, he could climb past a couple of those guys depending on how his performance is the next couple of months.

Kind of hard to believe some people still have McQueen on their lists, with what's gone on with him and the similarities to what's gone on with Cayden Lindstrom.
