Early 2023

Theo linstein should be on here but apart from this, its pretty spot on imo

Pretty good for a 2023 draft.

Didn't quite make the cut. But I have admittedly not really scouted any of these. I've seen a few minutes of play on some, while with others the placement is based on stats and what I've heard about them.

Raw talent wise, Michkov is better than Fantilli. But i see Fantilli in the same tier.

Draft wise and for a few practical reasons, i think Fantilli will go 2nd.

Calum Ritchie, Dvorsky could end up 2nd overall w Michkovs khl contract imo

When was the last time the top 10 was this good? 2015?

With the current situation that's definitely possible.

As of now, Fantilli easily over both and Yager > Ritchie imo.

Interesting, what specifics do you like from Fantilli over Yager so far? Mostly size or is there a larger skill gap you think so far?

As I said, haven't scouted these players all that much. So on one hand I'm looking at what the scouts say and on the other I'm looking at what I've seen, which is (for Fantilli): NHL-body, strong, fast, incredibly agile, powerful and accurate shot, elite Hockey IQ, great hands. He also has a solid pass. Up until now, I don't see a glaring weakness in his game and he'd easily be 1OA in 2022, at least in my opinion.
