How about another prospects list?

[jstewismybastardson]

In lineage news ... On that hlinka team for canada is Donovan Sebrango - son of former vancouver whitecap (usl) cuban striker Eddie Sebrango

Then you have a guy like Cole Perfetti.

Great hands just now

Man, the 2020 draft looks to be insanely good. The top 5 all look to be franchise altering players.

Lafreniere
Byfield (the upside with this guy would have me take him 1st)
Raymond
Holtz
Lundell

Then you have a guy like Cole Perfetti.



And Hendrix Lapierre. So much skill int his draft.


I know it's against the Swiss but still.

So, not resigning Duchene might have a positive spin, eh?

Depends on where you finish but, yeah, it might. Unless you're bottom 6-7 though you're unlikely to get a player as good as Duchene.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Perfetti perfetto

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Actually he wasnt perfect. Only 3 for 4 in the shootout... SCRUB!

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Canada was all over russia late in the 3rd. Goalie was a wall. And he didnt get player of the game for russia

Perfetti has the ugliest skating stride for an elite player I have seen in ages.

Buttons Man put out a list of ranked NHL-affiliated prospects. Seems to think Russia is going to dominate the league in near future.

Russian players dominate top spots in TSN’s ranking of NHL-affiliated prospects - TSN.ca

No Oilers on the list. I'm not a big fan of Bouchard and I guess Craig isn't either, but I'm surprised Broberg couldn't crack the top 50.

I watched most Sweden games at the WJC and I can't say I noticed him once.

Agreed. Same here. But he is an 18 year old defenseman playing in the 3rd best league in the world and holding his own.

Not even saying he IS a top 50 prospect but I'd rather have him than several players on this list.

I'll take your word for it - i've watched negative two minutes of SHL action this year.

But I do think the list is supposed to show who's closest to NHL-ready more than who he thinks is best. If that's the case then he may well be right (and he's tweaking the notoriously laid-back Edmonton fans to boot).

Jimbo said last week podkolzin could play in the nhl today he looked like a young artem chubarov at the world juniors

Raymond is getting slept on here. That kid is good. He got the SHL treatment but him and Stutzle are the top 2 Euros, IMO.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Ill drop it here ... good read in the athletic if you have it on all the kids of former pros on the Penticton Vees

Attaboy Greg buttons lol

My condolences to Connor on having to play hockey in Regina.
