[Patty Ice]

Jake McGrew

 

[DG93]

Coe again lol

 

[Stewie Griffin]

We're probably underrating Blichfeld considering he could become a regular on the team as early as this fall lol

 

[Makoshark]

Ya'll are underrating Blichfeld.

Blichfeld is 23 and is still trying to become an NHL regular. It's not surprising that people are rating younger players like Coe who still have room to surpass Blichfeld's current level at the same age. That doesn't mean that Blichfeld isn't a solid prospect or won't make it, it just means people are using different criteria to make their vote.

Mostly, I think Blichfeld's ceiling is as a third liner, who can't play on the fourth line and has no value as a depth player. I don't know that he's going to reach that third line level of performance, so he's low ceiling, low floor, and relatively lower odds of reaching that ceiling. He's close, a lot closer than many of these prospects, but I think someone like Chmelevski or Coe are better bets to be contributors because I think they have a higher floor and/or higher odds of reaching that floor.
