Because the Habs D-core is terrible after Weber got injured. Which got him call-upcall up. Same reason they played Mete when he should have been in London since November.
Guess again, you got it wrong !
If you are talking about his injury in training camp fine, but the NHL cut into that.
I haven’t. But I didn’t make a list just plugging my own teams prospects into the list either. No other list I’ve seen has 4 Habs in the top 50. If you didn’t watch these players what makes you qualified to plug your teams prospects so high?I doubt you even watched most of these prospects
I don't believe Dermott outplayed Mete in the NHL, and I don't believe he outplayed Juulsen in the AHL. Juulsen carried the Rockets defensively for a good 20 games once he got confortable (Yay!) after his injury. I think they're all similar level defenders, again. Juulsen, Mete and Liljegren have the better tools and the better upside and Dermott is similar to Juulsen in NHL readiness but just doesn't possess the skating/shooting/size combo Juulsen has, I don't believe Dermott has it in him to be more than a 2nd pairing D, the other three do.
I watched every single one of these prospects though, thats what I do, mostly, when the NHL team sucks.
Juulsen has done nothing to show he has significantly higher potential than Dermott. Dermott is a better skater than Juulsen, so I don't know why you'd point to skating.
For me the value of any list depends on how much the person making the list watched prospects other than their own. From your comments I doubt you watched many of these players other than your own so that tells me it’s not really worth commenting on specific players.
Which games aren't broadcasted ? You can ask me anytime you want to watch a dude, I'll find a feed. (Obviously in the season.) Finding games is surprisingly easy when you know where to look.
I consider Chabot graduated, just like I consider a guy like Scherback or White graduated. Their spot with their teams are pretty much guaranteed.
Fair enough, thats your opinion, why are you even posting then ? I'm here for honest conversations, not to get attacked on my integrity.
I’m calling BS.
I just think your ranking of Pohling, Mete and Juulsen reflect a bias, whether intentional or not, due to either watching more of them or them being part of your team. Neither are that many spots ahead of Liljegren or Dermott and done anything to really prove it. Now, if you had one or two ahead maybe I wouldn't question your objectivity, but when you put all 3 significantly ahead, it makes me suspect.
So 1.59 PPG is arcade numbers and 1.53 PPG (in a lower scoring league) is just really good? Are you not taking WJC or playoff performance into account?
Liljegren wouldve been 51. Thats 11 spots from Mete, also I won't rank Juulsen/Mete twenty spots apart, they are literally neck and neck and most of the time I can't decide which one is better than the other.
Glass didn't play WJC, so it's hard to compare them there, and Thomas didn't impress me on the international stage.
I don't watch much KHL, watched two full games of Kravtsov I think, I have a hard time following with the cyrillic and everything, watched a few more MHL to see Denisenko and a few other kids.
Thomas's PPG took a hit post trade too. Took a couple weeks to pick it back up then he was just flat out dominant during the playoffs, and played half of it on a ankle sprain
You need something tangible to make the list consistent. You can't arbitrarily decide who is graduated. Have a clear cut-off point. Maybe they should be neck and neck outside your top 50. Because you have them neck and neck, doesn't mean they are both top 50 prospects.
Thomas was an 18yr old playing on a Canadian team.... I could be misremembering but Glass was cut from the squad
He was, but I figure its more on the play style, as the Canadian teams usually do. Thomas can fill in a lot more spots than Glass can, who's pretty much a top 6er and thats it.
