Quoting: Knuckl3s
2023 will be deep, 2022 not so much it sounds like
im really confused where you are getting your info from. this class is stacked.
most the guys in the top 15-20 range have 1st line+ potential. their is even some later 1st rd russian guys like Trikozov, Miroschnichenko, Yurov who are gonna be really good but will fall due to being from Russia.
the USNTDP was stacked this year. Cooley, Nazar,Gauthier, McGroarty, Howard, snuggerud, kaplan, hutson, casey, chesley all those guys are 1st rd caliber yet some will fall to the 2nd rd.
their is about 6+ potential franchise leading centers in this draft (wright, cooley, savoie, nazar, lambert,Lekkerimaki, gauthier, geekie) even some of the C's that are supposed to go later have high 2C potential like Kulich, Kasper, Mesar, Bystedt, McGroarty.
I'd say only the top 5-8 guys are really kind of safe to go where they should be but after that i think a lot of guys could jump because their is so many high potential prospects.
everything i have read so far is that their is about 8 guys that have a claim at 2OA and that it all comes down to team playstyle and positional need. like both Lekkerimaki and Kemell are getting comparisons to stutzle who went 3OA yet these 2 guys most likely go from 7-12OA
