Tomas Machu needs to play on a few more teams. He could have his own chart.

Why am I worried about him playing in BP next year? Maybe it's just me. Hopefully he can go to the BP Tigers and rip it up with Raty and Holmstrom next year. Sounds like the Isles future KID LINE to me.

I think there’s a chance we can see Raty with the big club. I’d start him out with Bridgeport for half a season at least. We’ll see.

I can see this too. Liiga ends their season in March. We could see Raty this year in BP in April. On the draft, like Lane's nephew Lambert as a prospect too. You mentioned him. Got some great skills. The more I view Cooley, I like him more. That's the problem with watching prospects. I am not a pro tanker. Cooley will be gone top 5 for sure. Maybe even higher.

Cooley can potentially go #1. I think #2-3 is a much safer bet. Cooley is like ROR in that he’s already so good defensively and understands that part of the game at such a young age.

God I wish he could drop far but the isles are too good to be at the 2-3 position without a little lottery luck

I think my list has boiled down to
-Lambert
-Miroshnichenko
-Geekie
-Lekkerimaki
we need skilled players and we need guys who can push play. all four of these guys fit the bill

Aatu Räty in his last 26gp 10g 15a 25p and +17 in Liiga. After he was loaned to another team - Jukurit, he has been absolutely unstoppable. Jukurit have also climbed to #2 i Liiga in this stint after beeing believed they wouldnt even make Top10 to start the season. The kid is unreal.

I think that he'll need to play in BP if he's going to play C. They have the option of playing him on Pageau's LW next year, which is also a pretty good development strategy.

He can probably play wing also, but this kids just good at face-offs as well. I have good faith he can be a hintz comparable which this team desperately needs

Not worried about faceoffs, worried about center's defensive responsibilities.

Dont be. One of the best things about him is he understands at a young age that side of the game. He will struggle like any young forward but he’s ahead of the curve.


This is Trotz from training camp. Praised Raty and his IQ. We know how Trotz is with defense in young guys. Doesn’t see many “holes” in Ratys game. That’s huge.


“I’ve been extremely impressed with the player to this point,” Trotz said in September. “Quite mature, has lots of game, high hockey IQ. He reminds me of a Zach Parise-type of player. Got a really good motor, always around the net, very intelligent, wins his puck battles, good hands. What a great pick by our scouts. There’s certain kids you get excited with that show up at camp, but he has this hole and that hole. There’s not that many holes in (Räty’s) game. He’s pretty well-versed in that. We talk about who impresses you, what do you see, he’s made a really good impression to start.”

Isnt a big concern for Aho for example. Not the biggest player out there.

No but I always anticipate an adjustment for teen players from European leagues. Their bodies need to fill out and they have to get used to the speed at which the NHL game happens. Decisions have to be quick, work in the corners can be more punishing than in Europe.

I don’t know. Where would he have for in the line up? It’s better for him at 18 to be playing 20min a night in Liiga than being a healthy scratch for the isles or playing 8min a night. Bridgeport could have been a solid option. Hard to argue though with him going back to Europe with the success he’s had.

I undestand, but it's also easier to get in the rhythm of a faster + more physical league when you don't have maximum responsibilities.
