Lekky not tier one. His progress has been underwhelming.

Interesting to see Romani so low. Cam Robinson has been quite high on him.
Also think that Willander is too smart and skilled to be only a No 3-4 defenseman.

So Buium isn’t considered a prospect but Lekki is?????

What scares me the most is we’ve struggled to see Lekkerimaki do much with the NHL time hes had and Cootes is still so young yet I hear fans project him as Captain, talk about him like he’s the next Linden or at least Horvat and expect the world of him.
Ohgren I actually think looks a lot better than Maki in the NHL. Plays with a lot more confidence thats for sure. Even if ‘his ceiling is lower’ based off prior history?
Willander and Buium are hopefully our future, I want them to turn into a top pairing we can relay on for years to come.

Not excited about our future when lekker is our best

Not sure this guy has watched Ohgren play much.

Wheeler is sleeping on Willander. Willy is only 21 and is already playing well in a prominent role on the worst team with the worst defensive system in the league. I could see him with Buium on the top pair for years to come. It also wouldn’t surprise me if Willy makes the Olympic Team for Sweden in 2030.
Hopefully this list looks a lot stronger after this year’s draft.

Lots to be excited about.
Buium as a first line D.
Willander as a second line D at a minimum, although I think he’s underrated and could land on the first line D.
Ohgren and Lekk as 2/3rd line tweeners.
Cootes as a 3C behind Rossi and Petey.
Mckenna as a first line winger and hopefully another roster player with the wild pick.
And we have JUST started the rebuild too, with another 2-3 years of tanking (hopefully) to follow.

It’s hard to put Lek in the same tier as Cootes and Willander just due to the injury concerns.
And IDK about you guys but Willander may be a #2-3 guy instead firmly a 2nd pairing guy

Scary that our prospects are also our top line players

My rankings:
1. Cootes
2. Willander
3. Ohgren
4. D-Petey
5. Lekkerimaki
