Veleno leaps over Hronek, Petruzzelli has the biggest climb and Smith has the biggest fall - which I find very very disappointing Yikes. Smith is falling like a fat paratroooper with an empty parachute. That's disappointing. Was really hoping we had a future 3rd liner there. 1 AtlantaHotWings reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was really hoping we had a future 3rd liner there. He's off to a rough start to his pro career for sure, but I still wouldn't rule out the possibility of him figuring it out and turning into a solid bottom six winger. I'm still hopeful as well that Turgeon can become a solid bottom six center... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what Max actually knows, but here goes anyway....... Link (paywall) Here they are. Typed line-for-line from me to you. 1. Zadina (previously 1) 2. Veleno (4) 3. Hronek (3) 4. Berggren (6) 5. McIssac (8) 6. Svechnikov (7) 7. Lindstrom (9) 8. Saarijarvi (11) 9. Hicketts (13) 10. Sulak (15) 11. Larsson (10) 12. Petruzzelli (21) 13. Turgeon (14) 14. Kotkansalo (17) 15. Regula (19) 16. Pearson (23) 17. Holmstrom (24) 18. Setkov (20) 19. Smith (12) 20. Van Pottelberghe (22) Note: Most jumps in the rankings are due to Cholowski and Rasmussen graduating. Veleno leaps over Hronek, Petruzzelli has the biggest climb and Smith has the biggest fall - which I find very very disappointing I'm gaining a real appreciation for the value of 1st-round picks and 2nd-round picks. Consider our full-time roster players under the age of 25: Athanasiou - 4th round Bertuzzi - 2nd Cholowski - 1st de la Rose - 2nd Larkin - 1st Mantha - 1st Rasmussen - 1st And consider the top eight names on Max Bultman's list: Zadina - 1st Veleno - 1st Hronek - 2nd Berggren - 2nd McIsaac - 2nd Svechnikov - 1st Lindstrom - 2nd Saarijarvi - 3rd Honorable mentions: Mike Green and Andrei Vasilevsky.

Neomaxizoomdweebie 3,083 Report post Posted January 10, 2019 But he has such a hard shot. He's clearly better than Ericsson and DeKeyser and Kronwall and Green. Why doesn't Ken get off his butt and trade these guys. They're clearly holding this kid back from making the roster.

I haven't seen much of him, but my impression is he's projecting as a quality two-way/shutdown guy. We could certainly use a Mattias Ekholm type. 2 krsmith17 and nyqvististhefuture reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
