Its possible, he has a few high end qualities - his shot and his puck protection. I need to see how he finishes this season.

Completely different player than Niederreiter imo..

My only point is that he still has significant value even if he isn’t a A level prospect.

he needs to shot A LOT more to be niederreter lol.

I don’t disagree with that at all.

What’s re you talking about he doesn’t line up with the sharks? That’s makes no sense. They could sign him for 8 years and have him his whole prime and be good again during his prime.

Then you could use the same argument for essentially every prospect from a country outside of Canada/USA, that’s a bit lazy imo. They are both B-prospects with great upside, but far from ”sure things”..

prime years are 23-28. Meier turns 27 next season... The sharks won't be a playoff. caliber team for at least the next 5 years.

not a metter of if Vancouver does it, but the islanders do not move it with Dobson. When the team is healthy, Dobson is by far our best defenseman lol. We dont need Pettersen.

A top 10 RD is far harder to come by than a top 10 center (closer to top 12). The 32nd best RD is much farther apart from the 10th best RD than the 32nd best center is from the 10th best. It is all about relaitve value

Dude’s a 20 year old former first rounder who has been solid enough in his most recent years.

I’m not calling him a blue chip prospect, he’s certainly not a sure thing. But the guy is more than a B prospect. The Avs have a few real B prospects in their pool if you want Beaucage or Stienburg lmao.

If O.O is a B- prospect, Raty is a C+ prospect and I've seen your fans post that he is untouchable.

Beaucage or Steinburg is neither B-prospects, you’re overrating your teams prospects. A B-prospects is a good prospect, you think Olausson is a A-prospect or what?

My only point is that they are both from Sweden and ended up in the AHL at a young age. I think it’s fair to assume that it has an impact on ur development.

Bold take but I didn’t say he’s a b prospect. I just said even if he isn’t an A prospect he still has significant value.

Lol, this is just a ridicolous post, Olausson is a B-prospect and Räty is definitely an A-prospect, the only A-prospect Isles have in their system.

”We don’t need Pettersson” is for sure a bold statement my friend.

Yeah, A-prospect. Not a blue chip prospect (like most top 10 picks) but a prospect that projects to see good NHL time.

I used those other two of examples of a B prospect. Two dudes that might see some NHL time one day, but probably are long shots to see significant time.

I’m not rating any of these guys particularly high, just saying it’s a lil dramatic to say a relatively recent 1st rounder like OO is suddenly a B prospect. He’s not a can’t miss guy by any means, but he’s still a solid prospect that would rank highly in most team’s pools.

Raty had the 6th best DY+1 season in the 21st century for out-of-NHL prospects in adjusted point percentage lol. I am not saying he is better than the likes of Rantanen, Marner, etc, but he is without a doubt an A prospect. I love Olausson, but they are not at all comparable.

Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t he hit a couple of posts over his first five to nine games? I feel like even tho that doesn’t count as a shot, it shows ur trying to get the puck to the net.

Hughes for Barzal isn’t that comparable imo. Pettersson is better than Barzal, and Hughes is better than Dobson (Dobson being a RHD closes the gap in value a bit though)

Olausson is for sure a good prospect, that’s why I have him as a B-prospect, clearly you’re a lot nicer when evaluating prospects than me. I don’t think you’re automatically an A-prospects just because you was selected in the first round or that players who was selected in later round can’t become A-prospects rather quickly, just look at Lane Hutson, I definitely thought he was an A-prospect no matter where he was going to get picked.

He hit 2 posts, even accounting for those he has 10 shots in 14 games. Needs to average 3-4 a game to get on niederreter level and from high danger chances too. Holmstrom is more of a playmaker

They could send Compher in the deal at the TDL and they maybe trade Girard as you said in the summer, the d-core would still be frightening with;
Toews - Makar
Byram - Manson
guy - E. Johnson (resigned cheap)

And now they would have a dominant 2C in Nelson to replace Kadri..

Bold take, I didnt quote you.




Just because Raty* is the Isles* best prospect doesn’t make him any better compared to other prospects, he’s definitely a C+ prospect.

Now you’re just being petty lol.
