Yea, we can do it slowly... Just figured we could use the Pyramids. I think buffalo might have the best high end talent, Carolina all around.

I would agree that they for sure have the deepest, but not necessarily the best. Teams like Buffalo and Ottawa with prospect pools highlighted with studs like Power and Sanderson and then also being very deep are probably ahead of them. They're top 5 for sure though. They've done a good job of loading up on picks (lots of trading down 10 picks to acquire an extra selection in the next round kinda deals) and actually select BPA, they don't go off the board too much. They don't have many high end prospects (Jarvis and that's about it) but they have a TON of guys that look like potential middle six/4-5D options. Their strategy is quantity over quality for sure, and just hope a few of them hit, which is turning out pretty decently for them. I do think that their numbers of players at the WJC are inflated by drafting a lot of Europeans though, like there's only one Canadian on that list who probably doesn't make the team, and only one American. And the only guy that would maybe make Canada is maybe Ponomaryov.

I disagree, but totally cool. Evaluating prospects can be a very personal thing. IMO they are loaded from top to bottom at every position.

Scott Morrow is on a very, very promising path. Cale Makar had a massive jump from his freshman year (5-16-21 in 34 games) to his sophomore year (16-33-49). Morrow has 6-8-14 through 14 games in his freshman campaign...(Viz courtesy of @ByronMBader's https://t.co/JhDJZBtWVk). pic.twitter.com/8Ll60MYgXb

His closest comparables include McCabe, Pysyk, B. Smith, and Koekkoek? I think he's a good prospect but I'm not exactly enthralled by that, and I would say that does seem accurate. A 4-5-6 D seems like about the right projection for him, and his comparables match that. But him being Carolina's 2nd best prospect doesn't inspire too much confidence in their high end talent. The Makar comparison just seems dumb all around, it's extremely unlikely he turns into anything close to Makar, and he didn't have the potential of Makar (a top 5 pick) in his draft year. Seems like pure clickbait because he has a similar D1 NHLer probability. I'd like to know how many guys with with a ~55% D1 NHLer probability in this model turn out to be Cale Makar level because I bet the answer (in recent memory anyway) fits on one hand, and is honestly probably just Makar.

Morrow is about as untouchable as any prospect right now. It certainly not 'click bait'. There are a lot of scouts who are singing his praises right now as an absolute steal of a pick and his progress is off the charts right now. If he is like this now as a freshman, I can't wait to see him in the years to come. But again, agree to disagree, all good.

what i had on Morrow during his draft year was that he was a talented boom or bust OFD so unless he's a sure-fire boom I can't see him being untouchable

I am all aboard the hype train. He’s an elite, fluid skater, and able to duck in and out of traffic while tightly controlling the puck. He’s always looking for an opportunity to attack, either by himself or by setting up a teammate. He can dictate the pace of the game. Morrow has immense potential. I hope he reaches it, and yes, he is untouchable for me.

I can understand that, his potential is high and boom or bust prospects are usually very polarizing, there are the people who are all aboard the boom, and the people who are concerned he'll bust

Complete opposite from what I have seen, but that's why projecting prospects is fun. Right now for me, CAR has a future star

Holtz going to play for SWE. He and Eklund will be fun to watch

So I have a question for our prospect pyramid sheet, do you guys think players like Sillinger, Jarvis, etc should be considered prospects? So guys who haven't played in the NHL before this year but will most likely play the whole year, should they be prospects until they've played a certain amount of games or, should they be prospects until they look like they made the roster?

i feel like they should be counted as prospects
i have no reasoning my brain isnt working

TRANSACTION: The #NHLJets have loaned F - Cole Perfetti to Team Canada for their selection camp prior to the 2022 IIHF World Junior Championship.

Massive addition

Okay, I've added back some players to the sheet who've played part of this year but didn't have any NHL experience before that, however, my unofficial cutoff is 41 NHL games so they're only prospects for some time

Let's go, that's huge, thought this does mean Josh Roy has even less of a chance to make the WJC

Could be very tough, it certainly means Leafs prospect Tverberg is not going.

In no particular order, IMO:
12 FWDS 8 D 3 G
Xavier Bourgault, Mavrik Bourque, Luke Evangelista, Dylan Guenther, Kent Johnson, Mason McTavish, Jake Neighbours, Cole Perfetti, Justin Sourdif, Shane Wright, Zach Dean, Ridly Greig
Owen Power, Corson Ceulemans, Kaiden Guhle, Daemon Hunt, Carson Lambos, Jack Thompson, Olen Zellweger, Ronan Seeley
Sebastian Cossa, Dylan Garand, Brett Brochu

Ceulemans wasn't invited i think

**** your right, I forgot

Edit:
WHY

Ryan O'Rourke then

Might be the same reason as Clarke, both are RD's but weren't invited

Not prospects, any rookie this year is a rookie not a prospect. IMO.

I think I'll put any skater whose under 23 ( as of January 1st 2021 ) and has played less than 41 NHL games as a prospect, for goalies, under 25 and not a part of a team's tandem so guys like Raymond, Seider, Jarvis, etc won't be prospects by the year's end, but if something were to happen like they get send down or something, they'd still be prospects

Edit: I want to make sure guys who play a couple of NHL games are still prospects so that someone like Cam York who played 3 games last year but none so far this year is still a prospect, I feel like if you have half a season's worth of NHL games and still young, then at that point you're officially a rookie/young NHLer

Thompson is unavailable due to COVID reasons, gotta feel for the guy, such a crappy way to miss out on an opportunity of a lifetime.

covid can go die tbh

I know right? so outdated

not keeping up with the latest trends smh
