<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skyraider112</b></div><div>Believe what you want, but I'll stick with my original take. If Kaprizov was/is considered a blue chip prospect at 22-23, then so would Ruots. Feel free to look at Kap's points in KHL season and compare with Ruots in Liiga. Of course, KHL is a better league but there are certainly comparisons to be made. Of course I know Ruots is not going to be as good as Kap, but I do envision him to be a 40-50 point player if he reaches his ceiling, therefore he is a top 6 forward and usually prospects with a great chance to reach that are dubbed "blue chip" but you are allowed to have a different definition of the term</div></div>

The KHL is a much better league than Liiga FYI. Also I am fully aware of how Ruots was doing with Ilves as Valimaki (the best defense in the league at the time and Calgary's prospect) was on his team. That did not however make Valimaki a blue chip prospect, it made him a very solid prospect.

Your statement on your expectations for Ruotsalainen are also semi-contradictory. You say his ceiling is 40-50 points but also say he has a great chance to reach that ceiling. Very few players ever reach their projected ceiling and 40-50 points is definitely a reach when it comes to blue-chip prospects.
