Its relative though, as the game/training/diet/equipment/etc has all evolved over last 30 years.

Future Considerations: Scouting top players at U18 World Championship (sportsnet.ca) "Konsta Helenius, Forward, Team Finland On Day 1 of the tournament, he was one of the more visibly active players among the teams present. He plays quickly and fast. ... NHL Projection: Top-line speed forward, reliable offensive producer at even strength and on the power-play."

U18 prelim games Cole Eiserman 3g, Cole Hutson 1g1a (in 9-0 game). Helenius 1a Iginla/Greentree 1a

Rohrer 2g 3pts 13 playoff games, up 3-2 in Swiss Finals Engstrom 4a 13games, down 2-1 in SHL finals.

The guy did have 8 hits in last nights game, so not coasting the whole game and has 1g 4 shots in the 2 games.

Lots of examples but 80-90% 3rd rd+ do not make NHL But like; Datsyuk 6th round 171st pick or Markov 6th round 162nd pick, can find gold late, just highly unlikely thats all.

You think Hughes would consider moving Caufield this year? I dont. I could see Guhle or Xhekaj as more likely dealt before Caufield and that seems is slim chance also.

If he's borderline ready or slightly injured, sure. Leafs may be hoping he fully heals by next round; but, he could play at 75% if is a do or die game perhaps? I just know a 1st round Leaf loss would be fun to see. Kings surprised last night. Kopitar 3pts Hyman keeps scoring though.

Not sure what rumour was about this, but basically Zegras for Caufield? Why? Dont think adding more draft picks is Hughes big focus, more young NHL-ready kids maybe.

Seems like will be a smart player. David Reinbacher’s time in Laval will benefit his transition to Montreal in many ways - The Athletic "Rocket coach Jean-François Houle provided a lucid, straightforward assessment of what he saw from Reinbacher over 11 games. “I like his gap control a lot. I think his stick is really good,” Houle said. “He needs to get stronger. I think he can provide even more offence and I think he was maybe cautiously playing back a little bit, which is normal.” "As he adds muscle — something Kaiden Guhle also said he hopes to do this offseason despite having two years of NHL experience under his belt — Reinbacher’s aggressive nature in battle situations will become that much more effective."

That makes me chuckle, he was cocky and a winner. But, Hasek was the best goalie i can recall. The Jet goalie has surprisingly given up a boatload of goals. Bruins-Leafs 1-1 2-1 Bruins start of early 3rd. go bruins.

What about Florian?

Seems about 35-40 kids per draft have solid careers (300gms+) https://dobberprospects.com/2020/05/16/nhl-draft-pick-probabilities/

Yep, agree. Excellent player... thats about it isnt it? Does he give back in Quebec? I dunno, may be he is a nice person, but who wins that series dont really care, Isles maybe i pull for but not because of the coach.

Yup, i suppose, is what gambling addicts think also i assume.
