KaLiyev 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 he's not even the best prospect on his own line in Hamilton
Broberg 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Newhook is literally a top 5 prospect in hockey rn
If lines mean anything, Zegras>Turcotte
Veleno was probably the worst player in the AHL last year.... ik he's young, but there have to be better specs
I'd take Sandin over either of Smitg/Romanov, and I'd take about 20 other d men over Broberg
If you're including Shesty, Sorokin is the best G spec in the league rn

I'm not sure how Veleno makes it over Norris if you compare their respective rookie Seasons.

The plan for Broberg is to play in the SHL in 2020-21. Bouchard will likely be in the NHL next season though - he may even get into games this summer as Green has opted out.

Kaliyev has been more consistent than Jenik, but things could certainly change over time of course.
Broberg is pretty consistently rated as one of the best D prospects in the NHL.
Newhook just missed the cut.
Veleno was considered a generational talent once upon a time. He likely won't hit those heights but once he develops he probably has a floor as a solid NHL forward and a ceiling of a Top 6 center.
Sandin isn't considered a prospect in the framework I provided.
You could put Sorokin on your list; I wouldn't disagree.

Turnover machine, has no clue what to do positionally it seems like (as a defenseman) makes tons of stupid reads/bad breakout passes

I really don't see how you can be more consistent than Jenik... pre injury he was nearly 2 PPG, should have still had his 26 game point streak going (he had a point on a goal that got called off bc an offside call or smth, I can't remember now) was the Czech Rep.s best player before his injury in the WJC, and was a solid defensive player in the OHL (now he is a year older, but without Jenik passing him the puck Kaliyev doesn't hit 40 goals, in roughly 1/2 the season Jenik had the PRIMARY assist on over 1/3 of Kaliyev's TOTAL goals...)
By guys like Button who haven't watched Broberg since the Hlinka maybe, but other than there he's really struggled, he's a fantastic skater and has great tools, but he's a turnover machine, struggles positionally etc, looks just lost a scary amount
I'd take Newhook over every forward other than Kap and Zegras, once he got adjusted to the NCAA (in like Jan) he was utterly insane, he struggled before then, but had probably the best season of any D+1 guy in the NCAA as a whole... including his early season struggles...
Ig, and he was a very young AHLer this year, but there are probably some other guys I'd take over him
Fair, I didn't realize he'd played that much

Jenik can be more consistent by consistently playing games for an extended timeframe.
I'm sure you've watched more of the prospects than I have and you may have watched more than all the expert scouts, but I don't know who you are so I'm going to put more weight behind the experts. But sure, I can grant that you may be more correct about Broberg.

He can always improve on that and has time to develop. It's not like the oilers need him now. I feel like people put way too much stok on his wjc performance which

I mean... he has time yes, and he has decent potential, but it'll be a lot of work and a lot more risk than most other top prospects (and idc about WJC really, league play>>>> )

I haven't seen him play league wise but by reading it seems that he was playing third pairing minutes while at the end of the season started playing second pairing minutes. Next season he's gonna get more minutes given that berglund, another oilers prospect who played ahead of him is switching teams. This next season determines if he's a boom or a bust

No it doesn't. He'll be 19 all next season, it doesn't determine anything.

Sure, but that doesn't mean next year is make or break. He has lots of time yet.
