Kevin Musto's 2024 NHL Draft Ranking

[OilersFanatics505]

I'm not as high on Levshunov compared to the general consensus that's out there, so I felt the need to highlight the reasons why I was lower on him. I apologize if it came across as too negative.

For me there's actually very little separating Levshunov and Dickinson. In fact there's not much separating anyone from 2-10 on my board.

I think with Lev, I like the high scoring in the NCAA. It's a bit more special than what Dickinson is doing in the OHL. I'm also impressed that within 3 years he went from a Belarussian junior league, to the USHL, to the NCAA seemingly with little difficulty. Whereas I think Dickinson has faced less adversity in his career thus far.

I agree with this assessment. It’s not so much that you’re saying one will be better than the other in their career. But at this time, you have to to give the kid to the one who seemingly had a harder trajectory to get here.

A team has never produced any NHLers, Larionov comes in, and 2 TOP 15 prospects for 1 single draft right away! Miracle! They dont call him Professor for nothing I guess

Larionov has been great for Silayev and Artamonov.

Typically 17/18 year olds aren't given big roles with their KHL clubs, but Larionov has been giving them those opportunities.

I think their development is in good hands while they remain under contract there.
