Feeling it
If they are not #1 this week they will be after the draftMaple Leafs 4, Canucks 3, so Rangers and devils are top 2.
I think the Rangers have to be #1.

I still think skinner will be a solid 5-6 defender in the NHL even though he’s not as highly touted as the others. I like the nasty in his game. And he’s got a good head on his shoulders. Another late pickIt looks like they've got several other "hits" though.
People are creaming themselves over Nils, Shesty was a mid rounder, Barron was a late pick (though he probably tops out as a bottom six player who may get some PP time), Miller who was last year's Nils, Jones, Robertson, etc. Painting Kravtsov in the same light as "the nobody" (who really isn't one, but thats beyond the point) is unfair, and hes off of a strong start this year, albeit in 3 games.
Chytil has become the forgotten dude but he's got loads of potential as well in addition to already being a regular. The Lias pick sucked, the Lindbolm pick was even worse, but lets not act like every pick has been bad. Thats just a meme that needs to be laid to rest.
I think I have suggested in the past 24 as a cut-off. I'm fine with that. Anything younger, I still think is too speculative.I get where you're coming from but I still think your cut off point is way too high. There will be exceptions but onset of the "middle age" or when the prospects finally come into their own starts before 25. There is no perfect system but I'm fine with using 22 or 23 for the purposes of evaluating prospect pools and youth that hasn't fully realized yet.
I wonder how much of it is the Devils really lacking high end depth as people here say and how much we just don't like the Devils
well i'm going to assume their top 2 will be Hughes and Hischier. I don't like how they stack up against Pettersson and Hughes, for example. And then the prospect depth afterwards. Ty Smith is alright i guess. Nolan Foote? How does he stack up against Podkolzin, Hoglander, etc.
They can be top 5 simply because they have 2 #1 picks under the age of 23 but top 2 is too far.
Sure but he's shown that having actually NHL performance matters the most, which is the only reason he put Toronto in the top 4, or so he claims. Another reason why I think we're overrated, too. Only one we have that has truly performed at an elite level is Fox. Kakko, Chytil, Lundkvist etc are all projection.I suspect Pronman still thinks extremely highly of Hughes

And I don't even like Vancouver and think Pettersson and especially Hughes are a slightly overhyped.
you're forgetting about Fox. He's a big reason why we're so high. Also Lundkvist is better than Miller.Hischier
Hughes - Kakko
Bratt - Chytil
Smith - Miller
Foote- Kravtsov (closest i could get cause neither have played NHL hockey)
*Idk Ranger comparables for Boqvist, Bahl, Misyul, Ohkotyuk, etc.. sorry (other notable 2nd round picks for NJ)
After that you have a slew of 2nd and 3rd round picks Shero stacked up and the Rangers drafted slightly less times in the top-100 over the last 2-3 seasons if I remember correctly
I believe this is why NJ edges out #1 and once the draft goes through itll be mightily even - Lafreniere another 1st to match with Hischier and then the Devils have two more 1sts (likely trade one) as well as the Rangers having one more.
All I know is the battle for Miss Liberty will be heated once again and for a LONG time!
Youre right about Fox! I thought he was 23you're forgetting about Fox. He's a big reason why we're so high. Also Lundkvist is better than Miller.
Last sentence is highly debatable. More polished, maybe.you're forgetting about Fox. He's a big reason why we're so high. Also Lundkvist is better than Miller.

I didn't renew my Athletic subscription this year but I feel like Pronman had the Devils pretty high last year in large part due to their prospect depth. Not so much the high-end talent in the mix but just the sheer number of "good" guys they had in the pipeline.
It’s $1/month right now, FYI.I didn't renew my Athletic subscription this year but I feel like Pronman had the Devils pretty high last year in large part due to their prospect depth. Not so much the high-end talent in the mix but just the sheer number of "good" guys they had in the pipeline.

Thanks for the heads up. Might be my kind of price.
