So like Raty just a bust now since he dropped off of the 1st OA spot?

I hope Power is better than Myers despite having a similar style of play then

Not a bust, but not a 1st rounder

Considering the game is played differently on each continent, this should not be a surprise.

Fair point.
Here is how I see Lucius: Small frame, slippery with puck, but not transition-driver, plays well off puck, gets underneath defenders shoulder, sneaky good playmaking in o-zone, and NHL-caliber shot. Can play all sides of ice.

Who does that sound like to you?

Hoglander or Arvidsson


It’s the shot that separates him from others.
Lucius, like Caulfield, has best shot in draft.
I don’t know that Hoglander and Arvidsson would convey that.
Maybe Debrincat.
Or maybe a mix between Brayden Point and Brian Gionta.

Who are you comparing Wallstedt to? Also comparing Power to Myers in an insult tbh.

Edvinsson doesn’t have much offence , idk how he’d be compared to OEL.

Kent Johnson is a light Marner.
I do like Guenther to Connor comparison.
Luke Hughes to Chabot is good too

It’s been pretty ugly.
That would be quite a gamble.
Hockey Prospect says off many draft boards altogether.
