This is such a big year for all of the 23 and unders.
by end of coming season, will know
1. If QB can emerge as top center and be a #1C by time Kopi retires...or take over by next yr as #1
2. If Clarke is the next 'to becoming' Josi light, or more of a Filip Hronek. He needs a full season to get a read on his trajectory
3. Is Greentree a miss by other teams and should have been gone 8-13 in the draft? (by just killing it this year) Does his skating improve. Or does he not progress so much.
4. Ziemmer. Is he AHL bound and make an impact? Or float around 3rd and 4th line and put up like 15-20 pts. A year in the AHL will show if he's legit.
5. Turcotte. The year we finally see if he's a solid 3rd line NHL W/C. If he tops out at 20 pts, will be deemed marginal NHL player. If he busts out and makes an impact and 35ish pts, will be better than hoped for , 2 yrs ago projection. He may never reach potential. But there are Hyman's that bust out (no pun intended...or maybe) at age 30. Not that Turc would bust out that level, but more like Moore . lol no pun.
6. Slukynsky. How does he do in the big step to College? Does he start and have a great yr?
7. Portillo. Does he improve on last yr?
8. Is Jared Wright a stud and busts out for 20 goals and 40 pts at Denver? He's a sleeper. Can skate and forecheck. A certain NHL future, I think. But as the next Lewis, or better?
9. Pinelli. See him blossom and take off? 50 pts possible?
10. Dvorak, Will know if he's a legit prospect by end of next season. But, as a future 3rd pair? Or more upside?
11. Conmy. Does he continue to kill it and elevate even more? Possibly. He's a stud. Hipe he grows an inch. He's strong and may not matter how tall he grows. Strong core strength.
12. Mania is a wildcard. Skills and can skate. But he must carve out what type of player he is.
13. Woolley gets a full yr in London. Will know how good he is, pretty much after this yr.
14. Lawrence. Wildcard. Sure puts in the work and effort. hopefully, the dev team does not mess him up.
15. Carter George. I've seen some top 20 NHL prospect goalie list and he's not on it?
Let's see George elevate even more. Betting on him to succeed.
I may have missed some....going off top of my head and didn't read a list. Jamsen is intersting, as is Kirsanov!
Sure, no sure fire elite prospects, outside of Clarke, with Greentree some hope to become a legit top 6. Hurts, not having #1 picks 2 yrs and WORSE, not dealing Roy for a #1 !
