I liked Lockwood this year, gave me some Motte vibes minus the defensive reliability which should come with time.

Yup.

My ranking which is inaccurate is

Mikey D
Lockwood
Cosmar
Persson
Woo
Lind
Focht
Gadj

When you only have 2, then ya, he would be #2.

Busted 😂👍

Only know a lil about him not enough tbh.
Tank it & pick him? That would make many miserable ppl happy lol

Wishful thinking

The prospect pool has weakened with 1sts bypassing the AHL. It will restock up soon enough.

They’re out there no matter what lol

Friend of mine works for the Canucks, sent me this photo from a scouting meeting when they found out Aquilini wasn’t going to fire Benning

Some people don't get this. Instead of prospect pools, look at U-25 talent.

I would be happy with one NHL player drafted every year.

If they keep finishing near the bottom of the league, like they have been, yeah, of course it will. The worst teams typically have the best prospect pools.

Typically yes. Some simply blow it & waste their talent.

Way too soon for him . Persson had a better year than him by far.

I believe top eight pool rankings are something like this for the spring of 2021? Depends who you read.

1) LA
2) Ottawa
3) NYR
4) Carolina
5) Montreal
6) Colorado
7) Detroit
8) Philadelphia

Looks about right. Many prospects that go to the NHL are still included though.

Vilardi is likely included there for LA and yet VAN is punished for EP

Ditto for Hog

Why is Montreal and Flyers on there? who are their top prospects?

Yup every team has players like that

Loui Eriksson is owed 3 million dollars in salary next season and only a 1 million dollar signing bonus on July 1st. It’s been the opposite for the past five seasons, a 1 million dollar salary and huge signing bonuses. No chance he retires. Stranger things have happened though.

EP40’s been in the league three years, Vilardi one. How many years are you a prospect while still playing in the league in your mind....five?

I didn’t make the list btw

Not my point.

Same draft year and yet LA’s prospect pool is artificially boosted while Vancouver’s takes a massive hit simply because they drafted the far superior player

You just realize this lol. The window to Utica him out passed. If they don't buy him out he'll stay in Abby to bring the twins their popcorn.
