Hughes is like a top4 NHL Dman already :confused:

I still like Bouchard over Hughes long-term...

Hughes may be flashier and put up a few more points, but Bouchard will be the better all-around defenseman.

Katkansalo (drafted as D) is playing 3C for Boston U now

Ethan Phillips (Detroit Draft Pick) was playing 3C for them.  Wonder what happened.

Anyone know how the Sweden U20 (SuperElit) and Finland U20 (SM-Liiga) leagues compare to the CHL and NCAA? Elmer Soderblom and Antti Tuomisto are tops of their respective leagues. Soderblom currently has 26 points (12 goals, 14 assists) in 18 games for Frölunda, 2nd in points, behind Nils Aman (who is a year and a half older). Tuomisto has 22 points (8 goals, 14 assists) in 21 games for Assat, 14th in overall scoring and leading all defensemen.

I'm thinking (hoping) Soderblom could be a steal in last year's draft...

Dont alot of their better players come over to NA to play? I would imagine that would put them a step below North American Juniors.

I wouldn't necessarily say that. A lot of high end prospects stay in Europe for a year or two after being drafted. A lot of them do end up playing in the pro leagues (some even before being drafted) though. I'm pretty sure both Soderblom and Tuomisto are good enough to play in the pro leagues, but want to keep their college eligibility, so have to remain in the lower tier leagues. I'm just curious as to what their production would look like if they played in the pro leagues, or in North America, compared to some of the top players their age...

Yikes, Joe Veleno with a team worst -11 through 10 games.  Next highest on the team is Zadina with a -6.  Kid's getting CAVED at even strength. 

Don't care about Zadinas +/- tbh. He is a offensive winger and he is on a 4 game point streak thats gonna last to the end of the season.

Veleno stats is more worrying but he is rookie so he got some rope.
