Thread: Prospect Discussion Thread
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hanson493</b></div><div>Topi Niemela was mentioned at the beginning of the thread i think he will be a solid NHL top 4 defender for a long time in the NHL.

Personally thought that last year Eklund was the best prospect in the top 10. Think bruins hit a home run getting lysell in the 20s. Another guy i really liked that Arizona grabbed in the 2nd round was ilya fedotov. only 18 years old but hes getting time in the khl. hes done well in the MHL so will be interesting to see him develop as he gets bigger and stronger.

The real question i have for you guys, what is wrong with NYR prospect development. It cant be a scouting thing. so what gives. Seems like most of their own picks dont pan out or never reach potentials. not to mention you have cant miss guys like laf and Kakko struggling right now.</div></div>

Eklund should have been top 3 but his size played a part as to why he dropped. Really good at both ends from when I watched him. But man still bothers me scouts still view size as a factor

As for Niemela, can't wait to see him this WJCU20 tournament. If he continues to play well not only is a contract coming but potentially a roster spot for next season

Best Bruins prospect flying under the radar right now is Brett Harrison, who the Bruins selected the third round of this past draft. Not a flashy player, but a solid and well-rounded offensive game that has him producing very well in the OHL this season. My favorite aspect of his offensive toolkit is his nose for the net: he's a menace in front of the goalie and often scores in and around the crease. He's a high work-rate kid who never takes a shift off and plays consistently. Be on the look out for him to be the future 3C for the Bruins, and he may work his way into a 2C job. He reminds me in many ways of Jimmy Hayes as a prospect (rest in peace), who was fairly highly touted but just couldn't stick it in the NHL. I've made posts about Bruins Prospects fairly recently, so check those out for similar reports on other Boston prospects.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hanson493</b></div><div>i know im not in the majority here but i think thats an overpay. for someone considered an offensive dman. youre looking at a roughly 50 point on average dman. Who knows if he can keep that pace up, i have to assume he will given the offensive talent on the top 2 lines... but you look at a guy like torey krug (who i notably have not liked and thought received an overpayment by the blues) hes been roughly the same if not better in some areas and hes being paid 1m less per year.

EDIT: Even worse now that we find out he has a full NMC for the next 9 years.</div></div>


Oh, it's definitely an overpay. Money and term and full NMC from front to back.
