Prospect Info: My Top 20 Hab Prospects List (Updated #538)

[montreal]

Poehling, KK, and Brook lost a lot of luster this year. Plus Juulsen, Mete, and Fleury didn't exactly excel. That had a big impact on the quality of our prospect pool. Hopefully all 6 can shoot up.

the injuries didn't help either, have never seen that many prospects out for the season in one year.

So posters should keep in mind that my rankings don't have Juulsen (likely somewhere in the 6 to say 10 range), no Ikonen (somewhere in the 11 to 16 range), no Teasdale (somewhere in the 17-20 range) so if those 3 weren't injured, then that just pushes 3 prospects out of my top 20. It's clearly very deep just a question of how good many of these kids will be and how we badly need forwards.

I think you have Poehling too high.

I was just looking at that and thought I should have flipped him with Brook who I am higher on but I opted to put Poehling higher being that he's a safer bet. Both were massive disappointments though so it could have gone either way.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

I don't consider Kotkaniemi a prospect anymore, but if he is, he is easily #1.

 

[montreal]

I don't consider Kotkaniemi a prospect anymore, but if he is, he is easily #1.

I usually wouldn't have since he played so many NHL games but since he was in Laval to end the season and while I assume he starts the year in the NHL, it's possible that he could be in Laval again since he didn't get much time there.

I don't think it's easy to put him at #1 though, not when a playmaker has 2 assists in 36 games. That's beyond brutal and highly troubling, sophomore slump is one thing but we are talking about total shit show production wise and play.

That said it was neck and neck for me with Caufield who I could see ending up being the better offensive player unless Kotka learns to shoot the puck more. I could see why some might even have Romanov ahead although I don't because I don't put too much stock in the WJC's but if I did he would likely be at the top then since he crushed both. The Habs so badly need all 3 to hit their upside along with others so hopefully each brings something to the Habs in time.

Results: Ranking the System

 

[Victoire HuGo]

Scott Wheeler and Dumont did their best at finding realistic comparables for the Habs' top 10 prospects:
Caufield - Blend of Derek Roy and Cammalleri
Romanov - Orlov (floor Trevor Daley)
Poehling - A not as physical Boone Jenner (Floor David Kampf). Dumont says Jankowski.
Fleury - Kulikov
Norlinder - Jokiharju with more risk to his game. Dumont says Sekera.
Ylonen - Bjorkstrand-lite (floor: Melker Karlsson). Dumont says Hagelin.
Harris - Goligoski but more defensively conscious (floor: Mario Ferraro)
Struble - Mix of Kylington and Dunn
Hillis - Hirose/Sikura. Dumont says Evans.
Primeau - Merzlikins (floor: Rittich). Dumont says Binnington.

Kind of depressing for some.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

I have been working on my rankings, have seen every Hab prospect play a full game so far this year except Hawkey, Sullivan and Evans who I will get to see Saturday night. I didn't include anyone on AHL deals, or guys that have graduated (Tinordi/Pateryn/Condon). I didn't include Hawkey since he's hasn't played in about a year.

Top 25

1. Nikita Scherbak
2. Mike McCarron
3. Noah Juulsen
4. Charles Hudon
5. Jacob de la Rose
6. Martin Reway
7. Artturi Lehkonen
8. Magnus Nygren
9. Sven Andrighetto
10. Brett Lernout
11. Zach Fucale
12. Lukas Vejdemo
13. Jérémy Grégoire
14. Christian Thomas
15. Daniel Carr
16. Michael McNiven
17. Darren Dietz
18. Mark MacMillan
19. Tim Bozon
20. Mac Bennett
21. Morgan Ellis
22. Ryan Johnston
23. Connor Crisp
24. Matt Bradley
25. Jeremiah Addison

HM, Bourque, Audette, Evans


So far we have depth and some balance, lacking high end talent overall throughout the system and a lack of defensemen especially LD's.

From the top 25 prospects, we have 2 goalies, 7 defensemen and 16 forwards.

3 1st round picks (Scherbak, McCarron, Juulsen), 4 2nd round picks (DLR, Lehkonen, Fucale, Thomas), 6 3rd round picks (Ghetto, Lernout, Vejdemo, Bozon, Bennett, Crisp), 4 4th round picks (Reway, Nygren, McMillan, Ellis), 3 5th round picks (Hudon, Dietz, Bradley), 1 6th round pick (Grégoire), 1 7th round pick (Addison), 3 undrafted picks (Carr, McNiven, Johnston)

Wow... In hindsight... What a list of Busts, duds and all around hot crap.

Man have the Habs ruined many a career.

Other than Lehkonen, I have a hard time believing None of these players panned out.

That's a hell of a bad batting average.

Let's hope the new crop of prospects from 2017 to now fare better.

well i've never been a big fan of comps for prospects to NHLers, it's very difficult imo.

Caufield - don't see Roy at all, Cammy sure but I like Debrincat.

Romanov is just a tough one all round to peg at this point

Poehling's floor is Chipchura imo but with better skating/speed, his upside is hard to say. best case a ROR.

Fleury not sure who I would comp him to

Norlinder has some Subban in him but without the compact frame, lower body strength at least so far although Subban didn't have it either at the same age

Ylonen I need to see more of

Harris the easy one is Mete but smarter and more poised imo

Hillis is nothing like Evans though they may end up being around the same level as NHLers over time. Hillis has more Gallagher and higher offensive skill.

Primeau again the easy one is a lesser Price, he doesn't have the upper body of Price but he still reminds me a lot of him. Cool as ice in net, nothing rattles him.

Wow... In hindsight... What a list of Busts, duds and all around hot crap.

That's a hell of a bad batting average.

Let's hope the new crop of prospects from 2017 to now fare better.

The first thing that sticks out from that list is that the highest drafted player is McCarron at 25th OA. Right off that bat that's a bad sign. Juulsen as long as the injuries haven't impacted his game still stands a good chance of being a legit NHLer. DLR is a solid 4th liner, maybe McCarron can get there next year or two. Scherbak, Reway, Nygren were all good picks at the time in terms of skill as they clearly had that in spades but injuries certainly impacted their chances.

I could see Dietz coming back after next season since his contract will be up I believe. Will be interesting to see if he does how it goes for him.

Vejdemo could end up like Hudon, Carr, a tweener as he might not be that far from DLR.

I‘m not enthusiastic at all about any of those comparisons. If that’s what they turn out to be, we’ll be in the same spot in 20 years.

Been saying it since last year - our prospect pool is so overrated despite how hard the CH spin doctors try to pump it up. There is not one high end talent and despite everyone getting their panties in a bunch for guys like Romanov Norlinder and Struble they are either low ceiling or long term projects

oh for sure we could easily end up just spinning our wheels for a long time to come as betting the farm on prospects is very risky and it requires making the right decisions in coaching and development which we have seen has not been MB's strength which leads to much concern going forward.

That said while our farm system is knee deep and anyone that says otherwise is full of shit, but the system is for the most part in the very early stages so it could go in any direction for just about all of them. We saw what happened when Poehling/Brook got their first taste of pro hockey but we also saw Primeau continue to kick ass and take names.

At this point it's just too early to say one way or the other just what this will turn into. All I can say is that this is the deepest system I have ever seen from us and I'd say one of the best for sure no question. But with the people in charge I don't have a lot of confidence this will pan out.

Since this is my thread I assume that's a shot at me, I'm no spin doctor, I have always called it how I see it and I would bet my life that I know this system/prospects better then you or most for that matter. Granted I didn't spend as much time as I would have liked especially on the CHL guys but I put in a great amount of time/energy and some cash to follow the system as best I can.

You don't see high end talent, how many games of Norlinder, Struble, etc.. have you seen. Watch a lot of Allsvenskan, or KHL or USHS?

They are prospects, anything can happen and we see what a shit show development and coaching has been under MB. But anyone that watches Romanov, Primeau, Caufield, Norlinder, Harris, etc... and isn't at least somewhat excited for what they are showing is just nuts imo and is either just trolling or needs to just step away and find a hobby that brings them more joy out of life.

The farm system is knee deep and has some high end talent, it needs more high end talent, and it's very clearly in the early stages so right now there's not much other then hype and speculation to go off. On top of that I don't know how anyone could be confident in a group that is led by a president that is a glorified beer salesman fanboy with zero hockey experience and only brings a checkbook to the table. A GM had when hired didn't have 1 day of experience as a GM at any level and has shown time and time again just flat out terrible decisions in development and coaching choices until Bouchard. And a dinosaur of a head coach in Julien that prefers players like Weal, Chaput, Froese to the likes of Galchenyuk, Scherbak's of the world.

The hope at least for me is that if the team sucks again next year, with all the UFA's we are currently looking at, big changes could be coming by next off-season depending on how things play out and what the ripple effect of that would be. I just discussed this here with a Flames fan,

Wasn’t taking a shot at you but you can’t blame me for being jaded. I’m still waiting for Hudon and De La Rose and Andrighetto to be in our top six as many were boasting at the time. Or how we might have a hidden gem in Scott Walford and Ben maxwell. Or how Colberg was the steal of the draft. Sound familiar? Just saying the list is long on guys we thought had good potential only to amount to nothing

Just saying the list is long on guys we thought had good potential only to amount to nothing

It's a waste of time to compare former prospects to current since each is his own. The Walford pick was hated at the time and Collberg at least got us Vanek while DLR is a solid 4th liner that we should have just kept but instead MB just gave him away for nothing when he could have just put Pleks on waivers which he did anyway. Hudon as a 5th rounder was always a long shot. Clearly the '12 and '13 drafts for the league were on the weak side.

This system is knee deep for sure but with prospects it doesn't matter where they are at today, it's all about how they progress or not. Right now it means very little that the Habs farm system is knee deep, especially when we look at how the people in charge have handled prospects/young players. But it's ok to point out that this system is knee deep, there's no harm in saying however unlikely we have several guys that have top pairing upside. It's not saying they will reach it or that the Habs will be contenders, just that there is very clearly some things to get excited about in the system. Anyone that says otherwise is full of shit or just trying to burn things down. What it leads to is anyone's guess.

 

[EXPOS123]

Are there signs of hope ? Sure there is - but “knee deep “ is something I don’t believe it is. Too many “if, ands or but’s “ tied to too many of our prospects. I hope I’m wrong though. But I do know this - this draft coming up is probably the single most important one in our history. With It being a deep class and with the number of picks we have, if they somehow mess this one up too, then we are screwed for the next 10 years.

Again how well do you know the system, how many games did you watch Norlinder in Allsvenskan, how many Northeastern games did you see, or Pitlick in the USHL, or Primeau in Laval, etc..

You can believe whatever you want but I know that it is knee deep as it's the deepest I've ever seen in my 20 years of following the Habs farm system. With prospects unless you have a couple top 5 or top 10 picks, your system is always going to have a lot of ifs and buts especially in a cap world where we are seeing some moved up quicker then they used to be as some teams need those cheap ELC's in the lineup.

Yes this system is very much full of ifs and buts, next season will be very telling in a number of ways but that's usually how it works, it's all about how they progress and means little how deep or strong the system is. We all know they can't develop for shit so until they start making better decisions there then there's not a lot of hope either way since none are the can't miss prospect types even our 3rd OA which usually shouldn't be the case.

I opted to graduate KK of course and Evans since he was on the Habs and looks to start the season with them.

I respect your rankings...

Surprised to see you have Harris so low since I know you're high on him...

Surprised to see Brook so high. Word is he had a good end of the year in Laval last year.

Surprised Fleury is so low. Surprised Poehling is so low. Surprised Olofson is so low.

 

[Habs76]

I think you're sleeping on Cale Fleury

 

[montreal]

I respect your rankings...

Surprised to see you have Harris so low since I know you're high on him...

Surprised to see Brook so high. Word is he had a good end of the year in Laval last year.

Surprised Fleury is so low. Surprised Poehling is so low. Surprised Olofson is so low.

our system doesn't have that high end can't miss guy but any of the top 9 or 10 could end up being the best of the bunch. I heard Brook worked hard in the off-season adding mass and strength so with the way he was playing at the end and if he really did get stronger then I expect him to have a much better year. So Harris, Brook, Struble, Mysak were all neck and neck and could have put in any order.

I like Harris so much because of the IQ and poise, but due to covid I only got to see the Euro and USHL with a little NCAA so the rankings weren't based as much off views as I would have liked since in a normal year I would have seen 2 months of all the prospects by now and have a better feel.

I was always really high on Brook and Harris so it was tough to figure out what to do with them. Struble is the biggest wild card we have, this kid could could be our best prospect or a nothing burger so he was really tough to figure out as well.

Fleury was flat out brutal in Laval when he got sent down, just a nightmare in his own end and it's not like he was that good in his rookie year there so that was very disappointing to see as I had hoped he would have taken a step or two forward not backwards. That said I still like him a lot due to the tools of skating, mobility, physical game and he's got some skills for sure if he can just get his defense fixed. But this is a really deep group so some guys are going to drop in the rankings because there's only so many spots.

Poehling I have never been too high on, I had him as a lock to be an NHLer but just never saw high upside there. Like Fleury I like the tools of size, skating, speed, but I just don't know how smart these guys are. If Poehling hasn't learned to keep his head up then it shows he's not very bright. Add to that he had the worst season of any 1st round 20 year old rookie in the AHL I can remember.

Not to compare them per say but Leblanc as a 20 year old rookie in less games had just about as many goals as Poehling had points while on a worse team.

Olofsson I also have never been very high on, really like him as a DLR, a solid or perhaps decent 4th liner, big, strong, quick, that plays well in his own end. I like DLR more defensively but hope that Olofsson can be more offensively. Injuries have really hurt his development just as DLR getting the yo-yo treatment hurt his. Getting sent down to Allsvenskan at 20 is not a good sign so I dropped him, would have dropped him more but still think he can be a 4th liner some day.

I think you're sleeping on Cale Fleury

I like him but he was so terrible in Laval, so when you see a kid go from half the season in the NHL and then looks like shit in the AHL it's clearly very concerning. They really should have just left him in Laval all year imo, but hopefully he can get back on track under Bouchard before seeing NHL time.

 

[montreal]

also I wanted to add, man are we stacked at D and goalie prospects but forward is just bleak and must be addressed. While having 4 of your top 26 prospects as goalies means you got a lot of depth there, it also seems a bit too much as we have Demchenko as well but we'll see how it plays out.

I kind of agree with the general stance for your rankings. Only ones I don't fully agree with are Tuch (too high), Poehling being behind Juulsen and Tuch + Biondi over Stapley. I like that you have Dobes so high. Where would Evans rank for you if you put him in?

Not a whole lot to add for me, I don't wildly disagree with anything.. if I'm going to nitpick

• Juulsen probably a little too high considering the fact he hasn't played any hockey in so long.
• Sean Farrell looks a little too low considering his offense and skating package
• Olofsson too low as well, I know the offense has been a struggle but I still think that his size, skating and defensive acumen has him tracking to be a likely bottom 6 forward at worst.
• Would probably bump McNiven down to the tail end of the top 20, at least behind Dichow and Dobes. At this point I dont' think McNiven is ever getting over the AHL hump and these other two goalies show some potential still.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

usually I get some comments on my rankings from a couple of you guys, i know crazy times and all

Like you said, it's hard to gauge where some of the guys in our prospect pool are ATM in their development, with a lot of them not having played any hockey since the spring. It's a solid ranking though, I don't find much to disagree with ! If you'll allow a few general thoughts :

- I haven't lost all hope for Brook after his first pro season but I have Harris pretty solidly in front of him now. I'd put him between Harris and Struble at 7.

- I don't have Farrell that far from Mysak in my own evaluation, I'd probably have him right after Hillis at 15.

- Some might think Tuch at 11 right out of the bat might be a bit generous but until we see him in action with BU I'm fine with this.

- I'd probably switch Fleury and Juulsen, until the latter can play enough to prove he hasn't regressed at least.

That's about it after giving it a quick glance, nice work !
