Any guys you think go straight out of the draft to the NHL?
Power is headed back to college
Do any of Beniers, McTavish, Hughes, Johnson, Edvinsson, Eklund, Clarke or Guenther make it?
Guenther might. Beniers probably shouldn’t be rushed. McTavish might but he could probably use a little more development. I think Power showed well enough at the WC that he can hang to make it, I doubt he goes back to college (why tf would you play unpaid in college when you could make money on a pro contract and cut a year off your ELC lol, stupid career decision if that option is available to you and you’re that good imo). Hughes, Edvinsson, Clarke won’t. Johnson probably goes back to college too. Eklund is a wildcard, he did well in the SHL but he’s tiny. That’ll be a fun one to watch, but I’d bet he gets loaned back to the SHL after a cup of coffee.
So basically I’d say only Power and Guenther have an over 50% chance of cracking the NHL immediately, with Eklund/McTavish the next most likely. Important to note that the college guys (Hughes, Beniers, Johnson) can’t go back if they sign a pro contract, so you have to be sure. They likely all start in Michigan, although I’d bet at least one signs after the college season is done (Beniers).
