Description
Not team based
ROUND 1TEAMORIGINALPLAYERDETAILS
1Logo of the Montreal Canadiens-The most productive player in the draft so far likely has one of if not the highest potential.
2Logo of the New Jersey Devils-Very close to Slaf, they create tier 1
3Logo of the Arizona Coyotes-Compared to expectations before the start of the season, he is a little less good then we would have liked, but he is doing decent and has great potential
4Logo of the Seattle Kraken-One of the most surprising players, a lot of us didn't expect him to be this good this fast
5Logo of the Philadelphia Flyers-Putting Michkovesk numbers in the KHL. He is a year older, but still very impressive
6Logo of the Columbus Blue JacketsLogo of the Chicago BlackhawksIsn't able to crack a real spot in the league yet, but its a matter of time he becomes a reliable top 4 player, and eventually, top pair
7Logo of the Chicago BlackhawksLogo of the Ottawa SenatorsCooled down compared to the start of the season, but the team has as well
8Logo of the Detroit Red Wings-Underrated AHL season. He needs to start impacting in the NHL, but for now, he won't slide as much as in other redrafts
9Logo of the Buffalo Sabres-Incredible scoring in the NCAA. The situation with the trade does play a small role on his ranking
10Logo of the Anaheim Ducks-As impressive NCAA season as Cutter. One of the most underrated prospects in the league
11Logo of the Arizona CoyotesLogo of the San Jose SharksHuge bounce-back season in the SHL, he is trending up
12Logo of the Columbus Blue Jackets-Points dropped a bit, but his team quality did as well, not much to worry about
13Logo of the Chicago BlackhawksLogo of the New York IslandersAnother NCAA stud, not quite as dominate as the others, but definitely a high talent
14Logo of the Winnipeg Jets-Growing into the best BUF prospect
15Logo of the Vancouver Canucks-Very good steady AHL season
16Logo of the Buffalo SabresLogo of the Vegas Golden KnightsSolid play in Europe. Not clear he becomes a true top 6 player in BUF, but he will very important wherever he plays
17Logo of the Nashville Predators-Had an incredibly rough start, but is bouncing back very well. Look for him to rise in the future
18Logo of the Dallas Stars-Next 2 are very close, but I will give the edge to the position. Both these guys are on fire in the NCAA, putting up huge pts as D
19Logo of the Minnesota WildLogo of the Los Angeles Kings
20Logo of the Washington Capitals-Has fallen a bit compared to early season ranking, but definitely developing into a great middle 6 player. IMO, he could be Danault 2.0
21Logo of the Pittsburgh Penguins-The next 3 fall due to not playing in great competition, but they all have very good potential
22Logo of the Anaheim DucksLogo of the Boston Bruins
23Logo of the St. Louis Blues-
24Logo of the Minnesota Wild-Underrated D. Has size and puts up pts. He should become a good top 4 D
25Logo of the Chicago BlackhawksLogo of the Toronto Maple LeafsThe pts he is putting is too much to ignore
26Logo of the Montreal CanadiensLogo of the Calgary FlamesBeing slept on for sure, but he needs to do a bit more to get higher. He should rise though, so don't worry
27Logo of the San Jose SharksLogo of the Carolina HurricanesGoes under the radar, but it is hard to rank him higher till we see higher competition play, and if it will translate or not.
28Logo of the Buffalo SabresLogo of the Florida PanthersHas great potential, he is just not developed yet
29Logo of the Arizona CoyotesLogo of the Edmonton OilersThe next 2 are too physically big to ignore. Have good potential as well
30Logo of the Winnipeg JetsLogo of the New York Rangers
31Logo of the Tampa Bay Lightning-Good season, probably a good middle 6 guy
32Logo of the Edmonton OilersLogo of the Colorado AvalancheUnderrated for sure, don't know how much potential in the NHL there is though

It's funny, seems like half the people don't even notice what Yurov is doing and the other half overplay what he's doing a little bit. I think one always has to be concerned about kinda skinny wing guys translating their success to the smaller rink with meaner dudes running around. It often does not go quite as well as hoped.

A huge jump, okay. Definitely on board with that. Top 5? Ehhh... that seems rather steep.

Could be a bit steap, but if Michkov is going top 3 in redraft in a better draft, Yurov should also go pretty high. At the very least top 10

After we see what Hutson can or cannot do, he will either rocket to the Top 10, or fall back to around his original draft position. There will be no in between. I like him around where you have him, until we find out.

Hutson is way more impactful and game changer for his team than Casey, and by far.......

Hutson can easily reach the top 15, maybe the top 10.

Worse defensively, significantly less productive 5v5.

Hutson is VERY underrated defensively.........

Always find the way to deflect of block the shot on the good way.................... (and that's for someone who see Hutson in person twice).

He’s really not.

The lack of top tier skating is gonna hurt him at the next level big time. He’s fantastic in the ozone and with the puck (hence why he’s so good on the PP). But is not an elite skater which is concerning for his size

I'm agree about the weekness of his skating ability and his size (who is listed 5' 10'', but he is more like 5' 9 1/2'' when I meet him), but with what I see about him, he knows his weekness and he ajust his play about them. I didn't even talk that he is DOMINANT about the puck control in the offensive and defensive zone........ (but I know that he will gonna need maybe to ajust that in the NHL).


But your totally wrong about that he is not good defensively. It's because you didn't maybe see him play live in person = you see very well all theses little aspects of a player. His defensive positionning with the player is great, he deflects cross-ice offensive passes, he put his stick to block or deflect the shot away, and the most important thing is that he always back-check on time (99% of time) when the oposite team are on the rush.


I'm not saying that Casey isn't better defensively than Huston, I'm saying that the defensive aspects of Hutson's play is underrated.
