Lucas Raymond, 19 years old, 22 points in 24 games

[Boxscore]

Raymond is a monster.

 

[Dotter]

He's blowing my expectations out of the water. Razor is the real deal. At this point it is his Calder to lose.

I wouldn’t say his to lose.

between him and Seider ..9 pt, 11 games and killin it defensively

I’d vote seider rn

 

[LarKing]

He and Seider have blown expectations out of the water so far. We’re a long way from being a good team but having these two to watch nightly makes the losses much more bearable.

 

[Boxscore]

Sugar Ray.

And the 2020 draft is so underrated. Lundell and Jarvis in the middle of the first... wow.

Just goes to show you, drafting and development is king in the nhl. The odd trade or free agent signing is nice but your team core has to be on who you draft. It’s the only way to be successful in the nhl.

Mercer is looking pretty good as well

 

[SuperScript29]

He's skilled but his hard work seems more noticeable, he has a crazy motor and seems to always buzz out there, sort of like a super grinder that knows how to produce.

 

[Our Lady Peace]

Seider and Raymond, eventually Edvinsson and Cossa; all part of the Yzerplan.

Yup. Lundell is another beast.

 

[PatrikBerglund]

Nothing special in the SHL, then goes to the NHL and does this.

Crazy.

 

[Conrad McBenis]

We love him

Crazy.

He's always been special and showed tremendous offensive potential despite the low production. His NHL success doesn't surprise me at all. His mind for the game paired with his skillset and maturity was bound to breakout at some point. The kid is so polished and complete because that's what he was learning in the SHL. Stat-watching is a terrible habit for scouting, especially at the top of the draft.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

great start, congrats, lots of secondary assists thou..
however, he seems to make key plays, so theres that

Well, it is good to say this now, when he is producing, just saying.

I've been saying this for a long time, feel free to check my post history

It's easy to look at his stats and think his offense is lacking but it's actually pretty clear when you know what to look for when you watch him (in the SHL).

 

[Devils090]

Damn he’s got 13 in 12? Stevie Y has something nice going over there, hockey is better when the Wings are good

hopefully his buddy Holtz starts producing for us

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

Disrespect for secondary assists is so stupid. Sometimes that is the most important play to set everything up. Like his secondary assist on the bertuzzi goal, he drew three guys before he passed to dekeyser.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Crazy.

Nothing special is a bit too harsh. He showed lots of flashes. And he was great at WJC.

But yeah he's taken a huge step in his physical development, he's actually gotten taller, improved his skating etc. and it all makes such a difference. The IQ and hockey sense was always there.

 

[varano]

Give this man the calder.

 

[Phil McKraken]

It's not like his shooting percentage (14.7) is ridiculous either. It's only 19th among rookies. Looks really promising.

 

[Wanderson]

Very impressed with his game and performance. As a fellow Swede, who follows Frölunda closely, my expectations for him was low since I thought his developmental curve stagnated during last season. I’m glad that he is proving me wrong.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Well, it is good to say this now, when he is producing, just saying.

why was he drafted 4th overall if he did not have the potential?

 

[93gilmour93]

He’s been fantastic so far. This kid is legit
