Finished with a Goal (turned out to be GWG) and 2 Assists in the 7-3 Win

Gotta be honest, I firmly believe ASP is the best defensive prospect outside of North America, and may even be in the running for best defensive prospect not in the NHL. Guys like Edvinsson are ahead of him due to age and experience, but I think ASP has the potential to be something real special.
I think if he was in the NCAA for Boston University he'd be doing a lot better than Willander's 4g 16p.
He's gonna be 6' 200lbs and strong as a bull by the time he hits the NHL. Hope he's in the AHL next year.

Like there’s prospects in this upcoming draft that aren’t yet drafted by a team, ASP is a top 5 prospect already drafted. Idk if he would be if you included guys like celebrini.

Edvinsson is ahead of him because hes a 6'7 elite skater that has shown he can play at an extremely high level over several years including on North American ice. He also oozes talent. ASP is a really good prospect but it isnt just age or experience that puts Edvinsson ahead

i'd say Alexander Nikishin probably is
the whole Russian star in the KHL thing does add a risk factor that ASP doesn't have though

Yes theres plenty of examples of great, smaller dmen. But it doesnt change the fact that size is a huge advantage in the NHL.
How many dmen in NHL history have had Edvinssons size/reach and skating ability? Hedman might literally be the only one

What the f*** did I tell you!?Very Hronek-esque.

#91 To the Rafters!
Athletic is doing prospect pool rankings ran by Pronman. Not a huge fan of his rankings, typically seems to be overly harsh on Wings prospects (could just be my bias though). Just released #9 with AZ. Means we're top 8 at least according to him.
Wheeler, not Pronman, but it doesn't makes things better. Wings don't have enough small, slow, but "skilled" (i.e. put up a lot points in Juniors) prospects for his liking.

There is only one Hronek. I saw him save 5 babies and 3 cats from a tree one time while fending off two owlbears.
Yeah it's entirely too stat driven and minimizes actual pro projection. I will give him credit that he does adjust when he's inevitably proven wrong. He had Wings #3 last year and I'd expect around that range again.

I think putting ASP over Edvinsson before you see him play a game in North America is pretty dumb.
Then again I think Edvinsson checks every box and has every tool you would want in a defenseman. So being a better prospect than him is a very very tough hill to climb in my book.

Yep its also a tough hill because theres maybe 7-8 guys league wide you could rank ahead of him logically. Button has him 25 though lol
I can see ASP breaking a lot of hearts around here. At his position, size does genuinely matter. I have, however, decided to reserve judgment on the kid until I see him in NA pro hockey.

At the moment Edvinsson is our #1 prospect by mile , but things could change, ASP has potential to be very special, he thinks game at different level

It was @OgeeOgelthorpe's.

The top 2 scoring defensemen in the NHL are about the same size and ASP is still a growing boy.

I was also firing warning shots at him with a sniper rifle to save the babies and cats quicker!
