This won't stop the inappropriate talk.

Who has said this lol? These kids aren't even in high school.

These kids are still trading lunches at school

Its next to impossible to suggest realistic names. But keep in mind 13 years old is the same time we first heard of McDavid, Bedard, etc.

I did hear rumblings that Mid Fairfield 12s were one of the best youth hockey teams ever. Played the entire season last year up at the 2011 level and did well. This year playing at their own level and according to MHR are 52-0

Also the first I heard of Sean Day, which is why this shouldn't even seriously be discussed lol.

 

[Craig Ludwig]

This is ridiculous....

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Nobody is talking about how deep this draft class is…. Well except for the parents of these kids

 

[daver]

It's not that ridiculous. Dustin Rose was a household name at age 4.

I get what you're saying. For me personally I start taking kids seriously when they're 14. That's when you start to see separation and some junior programs and the NTDP for example start looking at prospects for their 16 year old year to track development. As you know, the WHL drafts kids when they're 14 so I think it's reasonable to start tracking then.

He didn't retire from hockey.

Hockey retired from Him.

About the Europeans.
I'll start with the Czechs, who I've researched more for obvious reasons. The 2030 draft will not be the best for the Czech Republic compared to the previous 2029 (just look at names like Zelezny, Vik, Holy, Hromek, Richter, Stavicek) and the following 31 (Jan Kotlar, A. Kachlir, M. Rejthar, M. Rocek, O. Holecek). I don't even see any guaranteed first-rounders for the 30 draft yet. However, some players can rise quite high. First of all, I'll note the defensemen: Yaroslav Kornilov (Sparta system) plays in a league with guys a year and a half older and shows results similar to forwards. Tadeas Olesz (Vitkovice-11) is another first-class defenseman growing up in the Czech hockey system. Rostislav Olesz's son, unlike his famous father, chose the defender's role. I would also like to mention another defenseman, Miroslav Vavřina. Among the forwards, M. Hanzal-jr., I. Kruzik, J. Jindra, M. Slanec may join the ranks.
The Slovaks are in a similar situation. Their group of top players for the next draft (31) (J. Kral, A. Kristofik, K. Hecko, L. Hestera) looks, in my opinion, somewhat stronger than the leaders of the draft discussed in this thread. And the draft a year earlier (29) will be even more attractive for the Slovaks - there is simply a scattering of talents there (Melicherik, Tomastik, Hornak, Vaksmansky). But there will also be someone to watch at the draft-30. Such names as O. Polievka, S. Antos, S. Bentara, R. Huna may be successful.
Russia will offer great forwards for the first round of this draft: L. Gribov (may be in the top 5), A. Tarasenko, R. Kovalchuk). The second tier includes such guys as defensemen F. Kryuchkov, K. Dautov, T. Asyukov, forwards K. Yelovikov, D. Malygin, D. Fomin.
The Swedes have an undisputed leader O. Salts. Recently, E. Herrlin has caught up with him. Other interesting Swedish names for the draft-30: G. Wennberg, S. Klingzell, N. Huang, O. Roynezon, A. Begic, S. Blom.
Finland. They won't have the same superstar as the year before (J. Nyberg), but guys like W. Huuskonen, L. Nabb, K. Kaltakari could well make it into the top 50. The second tier will be R. Wei, L. Posa, H. Joenniemi.
Germany. Max Penkin's brother Danny Penkin may prove to be no less talented.
The Swiss stand out for Liam Bosshard.
It is also necessary to continue to keep an eye on the Japanese Torataro Horie.

2030 has a best on best Olympics and I think the Czechs taken from 2021 to 2026 could have a lot of say in 2030. Call me crazy, but I think we are a 2030 medal threat!

Dostal, Dobes and Hrabal

Sale, Kulich, Pasta, Necas are the key forwards and we should have some depth by then - stancl, sikora, blumel, Sapo, ivan, lauko, kampf,

Jiricek, Jiricek, Svozil, Spacek, Badinka, Mrtka and Hronek (I assume Gudas is done by then) feels like it may have some potential 4 years from now.

Hope someone bumps this thread in 2030 so I can see how wrong I was.lol

[Kshahdoo]

I have a hunch it will happen in 2030 year. Of course I can be wrong, but a hunch is a hunch.

The fun part of this draft is it could be one of the drafts where the NHLPA gets their way and it is down to 4 or 5 rounds only
