Lafreniere has not played well enough to be on this list.

Dylan cozens is already better than some of these. Come on man. Jack eichel is also already top six on this list. Stop the Buffalo hate!!

Yes his rookie season hasn't been as overwhelming as we thought but hes only 19 get 13 mins of ice time, and not even close to the prime of his career yet. He was chosen #1 for a reason

I agree with you on that, hes looked much better offensively and he has more potential to be that offensive star

Offensively probably but defensively no. Plus we’ll have eichel at that point so who cares haha

Byfield might not be that player right now, but wasn't he drafted based off of his potential down the road? I know pundits were saying that Byfield has the potential to be the best player in the 2020 draft, but Lafreniere is the better player now. So wouldn't that have Byfield on this list?

I think Kakko would be pretty good on the Sabres

Hughes is underrated defensively

I would strongly think Shane Wright and/or Brad Lambert will be in the mix, certainly within the next 6-7 years. Same with Bedard

Kakko is one of the best defensive forwards in the league

Eliminating any players over 30 is a little ridiculous. This list has left off Panarin, Stone, Kucherov and Point because they will be 31-33

I don't think Kucherov and Panarin are going to see that level of decline over the next 5 years. Point's production might not last into his 30s, but we'll see.

I don't know if this takes in players that haven't been drafted into account but if it does then shane wright is top 10/5 and connor bedard and matvei michkov both top 15/10.

I don’t understand why eichel gets soo much praise by fans. Even hall was able to put jersey on his back and win an mvp award has eichel even came close to earning a spot in that conversation. Personally I don’t think there is any merit behind including him in any conversation until accomplishes something. Buffalo fans I truly don’t mean to rip on him just expect more out of someone for this type of conversation.

Ugh, if you really need me to rephrase i will:

I don’t think Lafreniere has shown the tools that will allow him to develop into a top ten forward.

Yeah, except that is not a rephrase. It's an entirely separate, albeit reasonable, concept. Personally, I think it's a bit early to judge.
