Neither will Shattenkirk, Kulikov, or Benoit so your comparison is still pointless.
When you claim that the top scoring defensemen in all three junior leagues and a very good college defenseman are unlikely to have any NHL value without giving a good reason why aside from "my team's prospects are better
" I think it's fair to claim your premise is preposterous and not worth taking seriously.
20-year-old guys dominating in junior leagues...You can't be serious with this, can you?
I've never in my life as a fan see three D in their respective leagues be so highly praised and dominate their peers from the same team that drafted them
Lots of competition for spots, but who knows. To disregard Anaheim for not having a 'complete top-6' shows how little you know about the club
I know hockey came to Vegas in 2017 but the history of this game is full of very dominant CHL defensemen who didn't perform in the NHL.Neither will Shattenkirk, Kulikov, or Benoit so your comparison is still pointless.

It's possible to say your prospects are better without "denigrating" another team's prospects and dismissing them as not worth the praise.
Sick burn. I forget the Vegas fanbase has zero fans of the game who started watching hockey well before the expansion. Every single resident in the city of Las Vegas ignored hockey until 2017
One can easily write similarly or more ecstatic reviews about Mintyukov, Zellweger and maybe Luneau. You’re moving goalposts all over the place.
I don't know where you're coming from.
pretty crazy

And I understand that. You don't need to tell me about how tricky it is to transition into the NHL for a defenseman. Just off the top of my head, Justin Schultz, Jimmy Schuldt, Griffin Reinhart, Ryan Murray all fell well short of expectations.
What you still haven't done is provide an explanation as to how Anaheim's young defensemen won't be players with any NHL value. All you've provided is a vague and general statement about a challenge that all prospects face.
So let's keep it relevant to the thread. What is it about Tristan Luneau's game that will make it so unlikely that he will have any NHL value?
Luneau Mintyukov and zellweger are all 19?
Anaheims history of drafting Dmen the last 15 years is just insane.....
You don't think Anaheim has an established track record of drafting defensemen? Us dumb dumbs in Vegas who've only been watching hockey for 6 years are pretty happy with Shea Theodore.
The terrible part is the defense we iced last year considering how well we’ve drafted dmen.
the thing is too, i guarentee hes never even seen Hutson play... just watches on youtube.
Mintyukov and Zellweger are in their final year. They play against players who are mostly younger than them.
