your team's top 10 prospects

[Star Platinum]

Switch Graf and Bystedt, you have my list. Chernyshov with potential to be a fast riser once he is back on the ice.

For what it's worth, I coin flipped that one. I don't watch Barracuda games, so I just went off of stats and highlights.

 

[MNRube]

Stramel definitely climb back, I think his ice time with WIS didn’t help, he’s now playing on the second line with Michigan

He has been their 1C lately. Good defensive player and playing both special teams on #1 team in the country. Will definitely be an NHLer

We wrapped up our prospect top 10 voting earlier in season

#1 Cole Eiserman. LW, Boston U
#2 Danny Nelson. C, Notre Dame
#3 Jesse Pulkkinen. D, JYP Finland
#4 Calle Odelius. D, Bridgeport
#5 Kamil Bednarik. C, Boston U
#6 Matthew Maggio. RW, Bridgeport
#7 Quinn Finley. LW, U Wisconsin
#8 Alex Jeffries. LW, Bridgeport
#9 Marcus Gidlöf. G, Leksands Sweden
#10 Dmitri Gamzin. G, CSKA Moscow

HM: Jesse Nurmi. LW, London OHL

Quinn Finley is the riser for us, scoring for fun in NCAA. Maggio has disappointed the most.

Looking forward to watching Eiserman, Nelson, Gidlof, and Nurmi (unless he’s the odd man out) at WJC

What happened to Dufour? He seemed to have a great start to his professional career but the last two seasons are massive statistical steps back.

where did you guys have george?

 

[Arsenalogist24]

where did you guys have george?

In response to both Dufour and George both not making the top 10. Dufour has definitely stalled out, a continuation of forward prospects in Bridgeport. Hasn’t been able to elevate his game post QMJHL at all

George didn’t make the top 10, goes to show how much voters like myself know . But really he didn’t do too much to wow in London. Was definitely a surprise call up from Bridge and benefited from a really rough patch and injuries with Islanders D corps.

 

[Chainshot]

Time to go back and re-do the spreadsheet to see what I come up with. Are we doing this with guys who haven't played in the NHL only? Asking since that would modify the top 10 for Buffalo since Levi, Kulich, Rosen, and RJohnson have all played games.

i would not count guys in the NHL now personally. but everyone has their own feeling on that.

Between holidays and work, haven't redone things. I think tomorrow morning over coffee I will put in some work on it.

 

[EbonyRaptor]

i would not count guys in the NHL now personally. but everyone has their own feeling on that.

I only include guys currently in the NHL if I believe they're more likely than not to go back to the AHL and have played less than 10 games so far this season. Case in point is I consider Frank Nazar to still be a prospect because he was recently called up and played less than 10 games - whereas I don't include Nolan Allan as a prospect because he's played with the Hawks all season so far.

1. Frank Nazar (C)
2. Artyom Levshunov (RD)
3. Sam Rinzel (RD)
4. Nick Lardis (RW)

10. LD, Matthew Andonovski

Sens prospect pool is laughably bad, but that's to be expected when your scouting staff only cares about physicality/toughness and makes the Burke-era Leafs' scouting staff look like a bunch of pansies in comparison.

sebrango in the top 10. that's not good

I think Yakemchuk is an absolute stud and love his NHL potential… honest question though, are Sens fans extremely high on Ostapchuk? Or is it a situation where Sens prospect pool is somewhat weak and that’s why he’s ranked so high in your rankings?

Why no Cagnoni?

 

[Forlan]

Why no Cagnoni?

I have nothing against Cagnoni, he is very good for his abilities. But it seems to me that he will not be able to compete at a serious level. I can hardly believe in his prospects. He reminds me of Eric Brannstrom

 

[Hale The Villain]

I think Yakemchuk is an absolute stud and love his NHL potential… honest question though, are Sens fans extremely high on Ostapchuk? Or is it a situation where Sens prospect pool is somewhat weak and that’s why he’s ranked so high in your rankings?

Not really. He's pretty much a guaranteed NHLer due to his size and speed combination, but personally I don't see a ton of upside with him. Probably looking at a 3rd line center in all likelihood.

He's ranked 2nd because there may only be 3-4 future NHLers in the entire pool and he'll certainly be one of them.

 

[AnyBraveLace]

Not counting Räty as a prospect but if I did he would slot in after the trio of D-men at 6 as a defensive bottom 6 centre.


1. Tom Willander (I see his floor as a top 4 shutdown defenseman, with the potential to be a top 2 defenseman if he hits his ceiling)
2. Jonathan Lekkerimaki (I see him as a top six or bust prospect)
3. Elias Pettersson (number 3/4 D-man as a ceiling, number 7 D-man as a floor)
4. Kirill Kudryatsev (same as above)
5. Sawyer Mynio (same as above)
6. Arturs Silovs (could become a very good starting goalie if he can fix his issues with long range shots but I just don't think he will, hope he proves me wrong)
7. Max Sasson (solid bottom 6 energy foward)
8. Vilmer Alriksson (bottom 6 energy foward who is a fan favourite)
9. Arshdeep Bains (see above)
10. Ty Young (Has gained my attention based on how his season this year has gone, had written him off after losing his starting job in the WHL to Ravensberg)


HM: Danila Klimovich, having a rebound year but can't see him ever playing under Rick Tochett

Aku Koskenvuo, not high on him personally but a number of media members are.

How is Petey 2.0’s chemistry with JT Miller?

 

[Star Platinum]

Even if you think Cagnoni is too small, he should still rank higher than wherever you put Gushchin who has the same weaknesses and has already shown a lack of production in his NHL stints.

 

[majormajor]

Two of the best players in the entire AHL are Mateychuk and Del Bel Belluz, so it's no coincidence that they're the biggest risers in the Jackets pool. After that Luca Marrelli is also moving up after a torrid start in the OHL.

Dumais hasn't played and is out of the top ten. While Cayden Lindstrom hasn't played but now has a concrete timeline post-surgery and is still very high because of his elite upside. Jiricek is swapped for Daemon Hunt, who is solid but lacks the former's upside.

1. Mateychuk
2. Lindstrom

3. Del Bel Belluz
4. Brindley

5. Greaves
6. Marrelli
7. Hunt
8. Malatesta
9. Svozil
10. Dolzhenkov

Some might have Charlie Elick in their top ten, I don't see it yet. There's also a big range of opinion on goalies like Ivanov, Strahl, and Gardner, and I don't have much to say about them one way or another.

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

sebrango in the top 10. that's not good

Ehh, not surprising though. Ottawa transitioned out of the rebuild mentality back in 2022, and even before then they weren't exactly drafting well following an insane 2020 draft.

 

[Forlan]

Even if you think Cagnoni is too small, he should still rank higher than wherever you put Gushchin who has the same weaknesses and has already shown a lack of production in his NHL stints.

Yes, they have similar disadvantages. But the level of competition for a place is much higher for Cagnoni. It will be noticeably more difficult for a defender with such dimensions than for a forward. He doesn't have the potential to develop his skills to half of Hughes' level.

 

[Mike C]

What happened to Dufour? He seemed to have a great start to his professional career but the last two seasons are massive statistical steps back.

Happens to most in that organization. Team needs a total cleansing from top to bottom.
