Like I said, if they are, it’s not like a completely different tier better. So a decent prospect, being a top 100 prospect in the NHL, on any list put out the last 2 years. Hmm, an interesting take!! And I’m sure PO-Joseph would be ranked higher than Harley on any list out there too. And I think Harley will be a good player. I’m not super familiar with him. I know he’s a 1st round pick. And the Stars top Defensive prospect. But like I know about PO-Joseph and what he’s been doing the last 2-3 years and the reports on him, the quotes from coaches, his stats. I’m sure u know them about Harley.
And Letang is for sure still a top 10 RHD. Here is the list by NHL network of the top 20 D-men right now. Your boy Heiskanen is 10. And Letang is 8th.

Letang is 33 years old my man, not ancient. And in 18-19 he had 56 points in 65 games and last year he had 44 points in 61 games. Again, still one of the Top Points on the PP too. And still terrific two-ways. Played 26 minutes a game last year. I’d say thats still better production than Heiskanen. But Heiskanen will probably pass him this year or next. Again, I’m a Heiskanen fan!! Great player!! But Letang still out produces him at 32 years old. But Heiskanen was 20..lol. Super young. When he gets 24-25-26, he’s gonna be a superstar. Already is, but will be even better!!
If Maniacalco wins the RHD spot on the 3rd pairing. And it’s Matheson/Maniacalco. That’s gonna be a really good 3rd pairing too. Yes, it’s bad with Ceci, Ruthwedel platoon at RHD. But the 3rd pairing will only play 8-14 minutes a game. They should be able to handle that..hopefully..lol.
