I think Gaudette will be ready just like BB. This is his third year so he should be ripe. He did stand out at the young stars this year.
Goldobin seems to be doing very good and putting up numbers. Dahlen could challenge him or even Boucher. I have NG as the front runner right now.
Demko seems ready - VANTEL
Yeah, I'm big Gaudette fan. I think he's potentially NHL-ready right now, his game is so well-rounded and he's definitely strong enough. He's what people were hyping Cassels up to be, except he can actually skate.
Goldobin definitely needs to get a look, and he's getting to that point in his career where he needs to establish himself in the NHL.
Dahlen I'd be okay with being patient, just like OJ unless he forces the issue. Demko is definitely talented and has been way more consistent this year but I'm guessing they want to be extra patient with him and have him follow a Schneider type of path.

Boeser has excellent instincts with the puck, he shoots from anywhere and gets it on net. If he can improve his skating and quickness he is going to be great.
The Sutter line was effective defensively, but like every other line except BBB, virtually no scoring chances. This team is still a one line team, it’s just a different line now.
Gudbranson was not a force out there. Watch him the defensive zone when the Pens are cycling, he looks totally lost. He might have been credited with 8 hits, but he was just OK last night.
When Edler is ready Biega comes out. It’s not even a question. Biega shouldn’t be playing every game...
Markstrom was real good, and a little lucky.
Hopefully Virtanen is learning how to be a better pro from the twins, but his game is going to die if he doesn’t get some better linemates... - 1970vintage
BB is 2nd in rookie scoring while playing 5 less games than the other leaders

I think right now he's somewhere between the 10-20 range. Around the 5th ranked D - manvanfan
Boqvist and Merkley WIll be #5s at best PP specialist.
Rather have defensemen that can be used in all situations. As someone mentioned earlier Jett Woo and Matias Samuelson along with Dahlin McIsaac and Wilde. The Bouchards are decent defensemen also, although the one is probably a specialist as well.

How do you guys find the time to have these prospects figured out, you have to watch them play 60 minute games, even then lots turn into busts.

like the Goldobin video I just posted, a lot of the good prospects will have shift by shift videos up on youtube by June.
Having the time to actually watch them is another discussion

Boqvist is probably closet to Erik Karlsson for style of play.
Quinn Hughes who according to some is the best offensive D in the draft. According to a report has grown a couple of inches.
Ty Smith is ranked in the mid first in most drafts.
Noah Dobson a large smooth skating D going at a ppg pace in the Q.
Calen Addison, like Hughes a bit on the smaller side but a ppg in the WHL.
JACK LAGERSTROM ---- this guy, according to some person I met on the weekend that goes to Shattuck's games. Should be an early 2nd round pick but will turn out to be worthy of a mid 1st.
