cuporbust Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Just read the top 50 prospects list posted this evening on nhl.com and we have two in the top 10 https://www.nhl.com/news/nhl-tonight-lists-best-prospects-on-way-to-nhl/c-299890068 1. Rasmus Dahlin 2. Andrei Svechnikov 3. Elias Pettersson 4. Miro Hieskanen 5. Casey Mittelstadt 6. Filip Zedina 7. Eeli Tolvanen 8. Cale Makar 9. Quinn Hughes 10. Kirill Kaprizov Other notables are Juolevi at 33, and Gaudette at 50 . I was actually very suprised to see Gaudette that low , but still excited to see we are on the map in a big way. Not agreeing with the Makar rating either . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 7 minutes ago, cuporbust said: 8. Cale Makar 9. Quinn Hughes Not sure how they justify that. Quinn out-performed him as a year younger player, and is already projected as a Hobey Baker candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogersTowell Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I wonder how they missed Demko? He's probably more NHL ready than any other goalie on that list and meets their criteria of 25 and under with fewer than 25 games in the NHL.

Bissurnette Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I'd take Elias Pettersson at 2 & Quinn Hughes at 3 honestly. The only prospect I'd rather have would be Dahlin but other than that I honestly wouldn't take any other prospect they're listing ahead of Pettersson and Hughes (in that order). Heiskanen is severly overrated imo - I'd take Makar, mittlestadt & Tolvanen over him, and I'd rank Hughes over any of them, so to me it's Dahlin, Pettersson then Hughes. I can't say I've seen too many games on any of them but I've seen videos and from what I've seen, that's how I would rank them. Come at me bro.

-AJ- Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Demko continues to be underrated all over the place. Guess he's too old to be excited about for a lot of people. I'm honestly baffled that Dahlin isn't the only guy ahead of Pettersson. Not sure how Svech beat him. EDIT: I also think Mittelstadt might be too low (I'd put him above Heiskanen). I think he and Pettersson are my top two favourites for the Calder this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyCuddles Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Svechnikov ahead of Pettersson, interesting. Not exactly sure why. I mean, Svech had a nutty draft year so I guess I kinda understand. Being younger and NHL ready is the reasoning? Honestly it's pretty close. If Pettersson can play Center this year, I'd have rather have him as a prospect. But if he is a winger I think it'd be really close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneypuckOverlord Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 absolute criminal the best player in the NCAA or college is number 50. Unbelievable he's already in the NHL half the players in the top 50 are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForsbergTheGreat Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 10 minutes ago, cuporbust said: It's actually ridiculous. Other then his size i dont get it . he did nothing close to what Pettersson did at a pro level last season . Svech is a good prospect, but he wasnt even top 20 in scoring in the ohl last year . Yes he didnt play a chunk of the year , but wasnt even the top ppg player His goal per game was in the franchise player level. His scoring was in stamkos kane, tavares level. Ahead of Hall seguin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still , could be a very strong argument for Pettersson being the overall better prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess the writer probably did what I would do if I had to rate 2 players so close in skill-set. I'd cop out and use draft position as a tie-breaker so I'd have a built-in excuse if I were wrong.

luckylager Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Pettersson is #2, he will make more of an impact than Svech this season and I wouldn't even be surprised if he outshines Dahlin. Call me crazy I do like Joulevi ranked above Liljegren though. 1 hour ago, MoneypuckOverlord said: absolute criminal the best player in the NCAA or college is number 50. Unbelievable he's already in the NHL half the players in the top 50 are not. I hear you. But to be fair- he's 21, not 18 or 19. I'd imagine that's why he's ranked at #50. Best showing I've ever seen from our prospect pool in a top 50! Thanks JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
