Kris Letang comp...

Pellikka.

I like his blazing speed. Can he shift to wing?

IMHO: Perrault: in 55 NTDP games: 46 goals and 110 points. Just what the doctor ordered.

Perrault.

The Athletic thinks he is most like Dylan Cozens...

Barlow is supposed to be slow on his skates... So Honzek and/or Perrault rank higher IMO...

But I would rather Honzek or Perrault at this point... Even if it costs a 2nd-rounder in a trade up...

Pellikka is a crazy-offensive defenseman. PP monster.

Keep on a-reachin' Zona...!

You go But...!!!

In other words, there's still a lot of good, talented options on the board...

Honzek, Perrault or Pellikka.

And a Right-Shot Center at that... they need that high up on the need list too, higher than a straight-up "any" center. But mostly they need some damn goal-scoring...!

I'd really like Perrault or Pellikka to drop to 17 but I don't think either one will make it that far... Willander too as an option...

I prefer Danielson. Maybe Wood?

I thought it was the lipstick. Or lack thereof...

Noted. And thanks...!

So we don't get real reads until they hit stateside...? and there's still an acclimation period I would guess?

And then we'll be allowed to trade Bojan?

And then we can pick a few pitchers...

And he wasn't half bad...

It's a federal offense to threaten federal officers. Which, tfg is NOT. Can we jail this MF'er yet? For crying out loud, this MF'er gets away with every form of criming and we can't get this MF'er imprisoned?

I like Tuomisto... But I think he had fallen off the radar quite a bit, even though I believe he's played a lot better this year back in Finland's Liiga. So I opted to include him in the general point #7 as a guy who could pop but we haven't seen enough of that yet. I think he will pop and get back onto a Wings Top 10 Prospects list... but he'll need to do it in North America when he's back here again, I think, to grab that type of spot... Just my 2 cents.

That's why I put a lot of caveats on that list. And really, looking at the top 2 lines... those aren't All-NHL lines... unless there's a whole lot of development or we have a hidden gem or two... that team looks really average/ bottom-type seedings in the playoffs level. IMO. Although maybe a depth build-up pushes us a notch or two higher, if that happens...?
