Prospect Info: The 2024-2025 Prospect Thread: Part 1: Skate or Die!

Gezz, nice heads up play. It sounded as if him and Basile were very raw defenders in camp.

I thought Alcos looked fairly rangy and promising, played solidly within himself.

Sansonnens just looked like a coke machine.

That’s nothing! I lost 3 inches and gained 20 pounds.

Upside for Sanin Pellikka is Gustav Forsling; downside is Adam Bovquist. People underestimate how hard it is to play in the NHL as a somewhat undersized d-man. You've got to be an exceptional talented with high-end skating ability to pull it off. And those kind of guys usually go top-10 in the draft, not in back half of the first round.

He could make it big with the Wings. But give me 'size' most of the time. So at this point, D-Petey at 6'4" and 215; and Wilander at 6'2" and 190; represent better bets imo.

You would have to be an absolute fool to take D-Petey over Sandin-Pelikka right now. No hockey person in their right mind is making this trade.

ASP and Forsling are two very different type of players.

Who said anything about a 'trade'? Sandin-Pelikka, Wilander and D-Petey all suited up for Sweden's Silver Medal team at last year's World Junior Hockey Championships.

All I pointed out is that when it comes to the NHL, 'size matters'. And both Wilander and D-Petey are a lot bigger.

It was sounding a lot like you were saying you would rather have Petterson than Sandin-Pelikka as a prospect. Thus the I think no reasonable hockey person would ever do a trade like that comment.

I think the original post that sparked all of this like ten pages back was taking that position.
