@@Dorian803 Yea I think in my opinion the Jets got the better prospect but the thing with these rankings is all the players in this range could be interchanged and I wouldn’t argue, so mcgroarty and yager aren’t as a far apart as the numbers make it look there’s just a lot of guys in that range

@@FirewagonHockey Appreciate it man, thanks for the support.

Smarter than you.

@@sandman_says_runrunner4701 I have heard and seen some more positives about him after making this but I don’t think you can convince me that anyone in this class has a better release or shot than Cole Eiserman

@@loganglover3134 I said quicker, not better.

@@sandman_says_runrunner4701 I’d still say Eiserman’s is the quickest, it’s so deceptive he can release it from anywhere in any situation

@@loganglover3134 I still think Gridin's is quicker across the board... wrist, snap, one-timer, and slap shot.

@@KDXL6537NJoy I think that Levshunov will be a great fit there, not the right pick imo but he is an excellent all-around dman who shoots right so it is a rarity and will pair well with Korchinski.

The Hawks are loaded with good young D men coming up. They needed that stud right shot guy.

@@BloodandSoilNS Agreed, nothing wrong with Yakemchuk, I think he can be solid but there were simply just better options on the board.

I don't think Demidov and Zegras are very similar players, Demidov is a naturally gifted playmaker with elite skill but not the same hands as Zegras and there have been lots of talks of Zegras being on the trade block so I don't know how highly Anaheim views him, Demidov also plays the wing and with the likes of Mctavish, Gauthier and Carlsson they need a playmaking winger for one of those centers in my opinion. Sennecke can be a good fit in Anaheim if he pans out, I just think it is a big risk with safer and better options available.

Demidov is absurdly more talented than zegras lmaoo not even close

How is a defensemen who is weak defensively just what Chicago needed lolllll emery is a 6’3 best backskating best defensive defenseman who is RH with an absurd motor.. That is what we needed and could’ve still had demidov And boisvert

@@loganglover3134 Zegras is an unreal playmaker in his own right. Not saying he has Demidov's ceiling but he's unbelievable at manipulating defenders in transition, scanning the ice and entering the zone with possession. Plus Gauthier will be a winger at the NHL level

@@matthewkabel6246 Regardless Demidov can do all those things and better imo and it seems like zegras is on his way out of anaheim

I think Reinbacher will be a solid NHL player so I'd probably give it a B, it's more so scrutinized because of the fact that Michkov was on the board. In terms of those three Russian prospects I believe Michkov will be the best and will be one of the best players in the league for years to come, I think it would've been a lot closer between him and Bedard in last year's draft if there was no character concerns or Russian factor with Michkov.

@loganglover3134 So with Michkov being the best out of the 3 prospects, who will be second best out of Demidov and Ryabkin? Have you heard of Ryabkin? He is the best Russian prospect for the 2025 draft.

@@DarthMaster09 I haven’t looked too deep into Ryabkin but from what I’ve seen he should be very good but it’ll be tough for me to rank him above Demidov until I see what he can do in his draft year and if he can compete with the likes of Martone and Hagens for the top spot in the class in the way Demidov did. It’ll take a lot though because Demidov had better DY-1 numbers and took a major step this season.

@@loganglover3134 Can Demidov be a 100+ point player one day? Montreal hasn't had a player of this caliber in ages. Also, will Demidov be better than both Lindstrom and Sennecke?

@@DarthMaster09 I believe he can be a 100+ point scorer, he should fit in great playmaking for either Slafkovsky or Caufield, I believe he is better and safer than both Lindstrom and Sennecke, I had him ranked as the number 2 prospect in this class.

@@elvisisalive2716 The injuries are definitely a concern with him but the teams have all done extensive medical testing and feel the risk is worth it, and if he stays healthy he should be dominant.

If the Ducks take Lindstrom, the Hawks had a deal for the Jackets #4 and Demidov, damn...

Trevor Connolly in Chicago? Are you on crack? Have you been living under a rock? Jeezuz Kripes number one trait Chicago is looking for, talent, number 1 A CHARACTER! Seriously?

Oh no! This giys a genius! \s

Yes but I was more so talking in the sense that if the Sens were worried about Parekh’s lack of defense, they have options with Sanderson to help insulate him to full activate Parekh’s offensive upside with minimal risk.

Yup the Habs are set up beautifully for the future and I expect them to be making an impact sooner than people think.

They would match up well with Anaheim for one of those goalies. Anaheim has a surplus or C and LW.

Anaheim has dostal and Clara as well as Suchanek

Yup, that’s it exactly, both players are great in their own right but with the options on the board I can’t get behind the selections.

Ducks with a massive L. They could have set themselves up to absolutely dominate with youngsters. Demidov should have been the pick

@@nerdpolice829 100%. The Demidov pick is going to look good for Montreal.

@@nerdpolice829 They still have the best 23 and under core in the sport lol

Predictable response. Just parroting the prevailing consensus. I wonder if this guy ever watched Yakemchuk play. While Yakemchuk's game is underrated, Parekh is one of the most overrated players of the draft. His game doesn't translate well to the speed and power of today's NHL game. I cringe thinking of Parekh playing against heavy teams like Florida, Vegas, etc. Parekh was physically overwhelmed playing against teenagers in the OHL. Passing on Buium was pure folly.

Obviously these grades will change over time as the prospects develop and I’m sure plenty of these guys will prove me wrong but this is just an instant reaction to the type of prospects and their fit with that team.

As I said I love Catton as a prospect, had ridiculous numbers in the W this year i simply wasn’t the biggest fan of the fit considering all the top dmen were available, many of whom I had ranked above Catton, and Seattle has a serious lack of D prospects in the system

No, no it was not.

Appreciate it man and the Sharks absolutely killed the draft, had the best draft in the league imo.

Settle down

Relax

They barely beat the Bruins. I don't see the. Beating the 22 avalanche.

agreed

Agreed that's why I ranked them number 1 in my Stanley Cup runner ups video. That team was so good but was so gassed from basically a full extra season of hockey in the past 3 seasons.

The 2016 team ....😢😢😢 After that series against the Rangers everyone who knew anything about hockey knew they were getting the cup that year. I'm a Bruins fan and we werent in that year so I didn't mind the 🐧 winning. At least they have real fans.

I mean it probably also would’ve gone to seven had the refs not bullshited that too many men on the ice call, also all the weird called off goals.

I think they have a solid enough D-core for the future with Mintyukov, Zellweger and Luneau. All three of those guys will be solid top 4 dmen in their career.

Agreed they might trade it but with this D class it would be a mistake.

@@loganglover3134 Facts. They need to draft a right handed dman, and trade chychrun for another top 6 forward

I’m using capfriendly’s mock draft but unfortunately the site is going to shut down in a couple weeks cause they were sold to the capitals.

To me that’s more of a reason to take one now, he’s the best player available and fills a need, especially now with the new injury news surrounding lindstrom, feels like an unnecessary risk for a position they have plenty of depth in and he isn’t even bpa

Yea, Columbus is really tough because they have a pretty loaded prospect pool everywhere except rd but as you said too early for Parekh but I could see Lindstrom or Demidov if he falls. But a pure big bodied shutdown guy would fit well on that dcore.

@@loganglover3134 Spot On My Guy!! I Don't think Most People on TH-cam even Look at Columbus's Team Passed Laine and Johnny when they do their Mocks!! Its Horrendous out here Lol
