Yeah he was my big sleeper last draft. If anyone’s interested in doing some really fringe scouting, my top 3 late round flier options were Florian Elias (undrafted), Simon Knak (I believe he went to the Preds in the 6th, captained Switzerland at last year’s WJC), and Owen Bartoszkiewicz (undrafted, he’s a goalie out of the NAHL which is one tier below the USHL, they don’t produce many draftees as a league but a couple goalies have come out of there, like Ben Bishop, and Calgary drafted last year’s 2nd best NAHL goalie in the 7th round, OB didn’t put up quite as good numbers, but from what I heard he essentially dragged an expansion team to the playoffs which is pretty notable). After Elias’s incredible showing at the WJC and then taking home rookie of the year in the DEL it’s kinda mind-boggling that nobody took a chance on him even though he was a 1 year overager. I was especially disappointed in Ottawa not taking him after the chemistry he showed with Stutzle (admittedly playing with Stutzle in the NHL would mean he’d need to become a top line centre, which is probably too much, but Ottawa has a good development system and might be able to turn him into a useful pkayer, he’s got a high skill level). If he goes undrafted again I might lose my mind, he seems like the perfect guy to take a flier on late with a low percentage pick. At the very least he’s shown that he can produce against his peers and hold his own against men despite his size.

Finland's World Juniors camp roster will be announced tomorrow. The press conference will be streamed here: https://t.co/mg3w75v64O #WorldJuniors

I’m going to say it could look something like:
Jarventie Raty Simontaival
Koivunen Hirvonen Kemell
Maenpaa Kapanen Lambert
Vaisanen Helenius Nikupeteri

Viro Niemela
Heimosalmi Puutio
Rajaniemi Rafkin

Blomqvist
Merilainen

Lambert could not make it, it could be another Aatu Raty scenario

He made it. Will need a big World Juniors to improve his stock

Kemell and Lambert are the only 1st-year draft eligibles on team Finland I think and for both, they need a good WJC, Kemell doing bad would maybe kill a bit of the hype and Lambert needs to do good if he wants to be a top 10 pick ( he's currently at 12 for me )

A_Habs_fan how would you put together a Blue Jackets prospect pyramid? for reference, here is a bunch of examples of how they look.

I had an idea for a school project, and you're the one that knows the most about our system that I know.

Using the names they had there on the site you showed and the way they tier
Tier A: no one
Tier B: Marchenko, SIllinger, Johnson, Ceulemans
Tier C: Svozil, Knazko, Foudy, Chinakhov, Voronkov
Tier D: Angle, Bjorgvik Holm, Rysavy, Malatesta, Richard, Fix-Wolansky, Berni
Everyone Else: Makarov, Hjorth, Johannesson, Stucker, Karlberg, Thome, Boyd, Pyyhtia

I am also by no means an expert on the prospects since I don't exactly follow them like Habs prospects and for all non-2021 draftees, haven't scouted them more than once

That's pretty similar to how i put together one myself (Chinakhov in Tier B, Ceulemans in Tier C, Angle in tier C, Fix-Wolansky in tier C, Berni under "Everyone else").

Just thought to ask multiple people since having multiple inputs would make it more thorough.

This is pretty spot on. I am higher on James Malatesta and Nikolai Makarov. I have a feeling after CLB fans watch Makarov (6-foot-4, 234-pound Russian) at this years Juniors, will love this kid. No-nonsense blueliner with a long, powerful stride, accurate outlet passer, and a huge shot from the point that is used on the PP for his accuracy and to consistently generate rebounds. Don't believe he has a high ceiling but if he can pan out like Vladislav Gavrikov, just a solid D you can play in your lineup.

Would be cool to make one as a group for every team, start with the ones on the example website and adjust as we see fit. Powers for the Sabres seems more and more like he's improving to Franchise level

that would be sick, maybe we could have one user thats really active on CF make a post with our group pyramids and have it stickied in the thread (if thats possible) and whenever everyone feels like a change is made the elected user edits the post

You can sticky a post in a thread but that'd be one long post to sticky and we'd switch prospect discussion threads eventually

We could just Quote and update it, or create a shared Google or something sheet.

A google sheet that everyone can edit probably the easiest option and, as long as no one decides to troll, that will work be fine

maybe some sort of suggestion mode on sheets?

Well, 1 owner and everyone with the link as edits/commenters would work. just commenters gives 1 person more freedom but also more security for the sheet, it also means we might have to eventually duplicate it and switch owners if the 1 editor isn't active anymore

I'd volunteer to create this if i had time right now, i usually am all for procrastinating and doing something fun but i can't right now
