Description

Each Section is kind of in order aswell but the Taxi squad is not in any order

LW = Elite Potential / 1st Pair D

C = Top 6 Potential / 2nd Pair D

RW = Middle 6 Potential / 3rd Pair D

LD = Bottom 6 Potential / 6/7th D

RD = 4th line NHL Player

Scratches = NHL Long Shot

Taxi Squad = AHL Lifer

Goalies = Ranked in order of Potential - Id say Fowler is the only one with true #1 starter potential out of them all.

Lemme know if im faded with these picks (likely am) but I feel like its a pretty fair list the bottom 2 tiers were hard to decipherer but I think overall its a good list

Guhle should be in top group.

Personally, I would keep expectations in check on Lane. He is a good player, but still questions with skating. And just the way that conference is built today (there is a lot of low fruit), I wouldn’t put all my eggs in “points” basket. We have seen David Farrance and Dom Fensore dominate in that same role (Farrance is on AHL deal, Fensore is in ECHL).

Fowler looks legit.

Biondi could be sneaky good bottom-sixer. Defensive forward who can handle puck, battle on boards.

Guhle gives me Provorov/Hampus Lindholm vibes . Top pair on a bad team but more of a 2nd pair guy on a contender

#3 on contender is usually still a good dman….but I am more bullish than that. Like the way he moves on both sides of puck. (Kind of old school, ‘don’t think, do’ thing).

Wouldn’t put him in the highest tier….or take him ahead of Sanderson, Power, Hughes, Faber, Seider, Nemec, Jiricek, Mintyukov…(maybe Nikishin) but would put him in same group as Korchinski, Reinbacher, Edvinsson, Willander, Mukhamadullin, Lambos, Schneider, Mateychuk…
