Gulyayev gets my vote as the best D prospect in the org.

Get ready to clutch the pearls…add Olausson.

I'm going off the board a bit here and voting Behrens. Not only is he closer to the NHL than Gulyayev, but I remain bullish on his NHL future. It also helps that he's signed now; if he was going back for a senior year without a contract I probably would be less excited.

Add? Jeez, this is hard already. I guess Maxmilan Curran, I just have a good feeling that there's growth opportunity there due to his age as a very young 2024 eligible player. And gut feelings are as good a metric as any this year.

Behrens signed without any promises, I’m not ready to put him up there without any evidence of a fast/taken seriously track. That obviously could happen this year but I want to see the commitment first. In general though I do give more weight to guys who actually have a contract vs those who don’t.

Gulyayev.

Add Zellers.

 

[Deadsy]

Gulyayev

Add Olausson, maybe can finally put things together and be of some use.

Guly.
Add Zellers.

I get people voting Gulyayev but I am going Behrens. More accomplished and closer in my view.

Goulash has more flash, but his substance hasn't been as good as Behrens to this point. Behrens projects as a more physical and thicc G. I need to see the offensive upside actually come to fruition on Goulash before moving him ahead.

Does this also mean that he's expected to be as good as G? I kinda thought Behrens was pegged as a 5/6 rather than middle pair. I'd be thrilled if he was a sure thing middle pairing guy at some point in the future.

I’m higher on Behrens than most. I see a good middle pairing upside with a 3 potential. Wouldn’t shock me to see him be as good as G.

There isn’t a for sure anything with Behrens. A year from now we are probably looking at a 20 pointer in the AHL with maybe a brief call up. He’s a long way to go to being on a real track to a NHL job. Not so say I don’t like Behrens enough, he’s a decent B level prospect but there isn’t any hint of promises, pedigree or top tier talent to really believe in it on potential alone.
