Yakupov is absolutely unbeliveable player. He's much better than Grigo and Forsberg. He looks like Pavel Bure only more hard. Nail, i sure, will be 1st overall in a coming draft.
@TheAlexAdrian Where would you drop Rielly to? I don't think Dumba's physical game will transfer as well to the NHL because of his size and I think the european factor will scare some teams off a few of those guys you mentioned.
@TheMockDraft Dumba isn't european...Rielly deserves to be somewhere closer to 13-18. He has great offensive talent but he's not all that great defensively. Think Marc Andre Bergeron. Or maybe Erik Karlsson. Too one dimensional. the D ranking should look more like Murray, Dumba, Trouba, Reinhart, Ceci, Koekkoek, Matta, Rielly, Finn, Pouilot, Ebert.
@TheAlexAdrian I never said Dumba was European. And Girgensons isn't tearing up the USHL by any means, and that league is much much worse than any of the Canadian juniors.
@TheMockDraft Forsberg has like 9 points in a Swedish B-league team. It's a matter of skill not location and performance in said location. Girgensons is one of the few draft eligible prospects suiting up for the WJC, and he's centering Latvia's second line. Obviously Latvia is nothing too special but he's good enough to make it on the second line at his younger age. I'm not saying put him top 10. I have him ranked 13th, but 26 is just plain criminal. He'd be a MAJOR steal at 26.
@TheAlexAdrian For the most part I agree with you. But when they're in "lesser" leagues their potential against NHL competition is harder to project. In my next mock draft that I'm working on, Girgensons is ranked higher.
@TheMockDraft also, Girgensons is a top 5 forward in this years draft. Why you have him at 26 is beyond me. If he fell that far, he'd make everyone forget about Cam Fowler's fall in 2010. Also Colleburg is currently fighting with Forsberg over who is the best Swede in this draft, it's obvious Forsberg is better but there shouldn't be a 19 pick gap between them. And Aberg has more points than Backstrom did at the same age in the same league. He's going WAY higher than 25.
Alex Galchenyuk is out on injury right now, and he's missing the whole season. His team mate (Nail yakupov) is currently 3rd in the OHL scoring. He was in 1st but he missed 2 weeks due to injury.
@NateNoesNothing Yakupov is so filthy he deserves #1 and Galchenyuk had such a great year last year. I think he'll be like Brett Connolly was in this year's draft.
1. Yakupov
2. Grigorenko
3. Forsberg
4. Murray
5. Glachenyuk
6. Collberg
