What happened to ty smith?

Ty Smith is really good but Tyce Thompson is 2nd in scoring in the NCAA and leading the goal scoring category

Pretty good, because you have Ty Smith & Jack Hughes.

(Even if Kakko's better)

It means nothing until one of the 4 breaks they have a season and all teams are at the same amount of games player .

NCAA operates scheduling around class with school coming first as opposed to Canadian junior where many leave school to focus on hockey and home school . NCCA prospects as a result are rarely prepared to jump to the NHL directly because they arent prepared to play 10 months a year with few breaks. That would be almost barable if they played a real playoff format instead of the round robin non sense.

before the break Caufield was tied with 6 guys for 2nd with 1 goal less then Thompson&Co .
behind Thompson,Madden , Wilkie and Leonard who were tied for first in goals scored


Thompsons good but lets be real , of the top 10 NCAA goal scorers maybe 3 will make the NHL , another 4-5 will make the AHL and 1-2 will leave for europe like most NCAA top 10 goal scorers (look at the last 3 years of NCAA goal scorers stats and look at where most of them are now )

Same Production rate offensive but in less games and the edge defensively goes to Hughes as does . Opponents score more when Kakko's on ice then if Hughes is .
A Center who scores goals as consitently as a Winger praised for his goal scoring acumen will add value that confirms Hughes >Kakko

good point thats fair. I'm really hoping Thompson is good tho. We desperately need a good winger.

The joke



Your head

I don't think Thompson is currently #1....or even in top-5. But his scoring rate has been impressive this year. He could jump into tier II soon.

This is how I would list top Devils best prospects as of 1/12/2020:

Tier I
1. Ty Smith, LHD
2. Kevin Bahl, LHD

Tier II
3. Daniil Misyul, LHD
4. Mike McLeod, C
5. Nick Merkley, C

Tier III
6. Mikhail Maltsev, C/W
7. Tyce Thompson, C
8. Nikola Pasic, C/W
9. Aarne Talvitie, W
10. Nathan Bastian, W

Tier IV
11. Nate Schnarr, C/W
12. Reilly Walsh, RHD
13. Graeme Clarke, W
14. Marian Studenic, W
15. Xavier Bernard, LHD

(Joey Anderson would be top of tier III if he still had prospect eligibility)

i love this

i got no objections either .

Now do MTL hahahaha
