Quick question, what does everyone see in Koekkoek to put him in the bottom of the list consistently?
EDIT: It has been reported by other scouts, if he didn't have season ending surgery he could have been ranked up there with Rielly, Reinhart, Dumba.
fyp, nothings for certain.
I don't believe in ranking a draft class right after they got drafted. Don't take the ranking seriously until next year, when we get to see how all the prospects progressed and regressed.

Fair enough. I am a huge TB fan so I was wondering on what everyone here sees.

I didn't really like what Ive seen from him when he was healthy. Not a big fan and didn't think he was worth a top 10 pick. Top 15 would be pushing it in my opinion. Two guys I had over him were Maatta and Finn. Maatta was drafted in the 20's and Finn 32. I guess Tampa saw something in him that I didn't.
What is Hampus Lindholm's fantasy upside? What current or past D-man would you say is a realistic comparison as to what he can become?
What is Griffin Reinhart's fantasy upside? What current or past D-man would you say is a realistic comparison as to what he can become?
He seems like a Jake Gardiner type but might be faster (only say that cause apparently Lindholm is faster than Fowler) I'd say realistically he could hit 35

Really? Gardiner is one of the best skaters I've ever seen. I didn't think Lindholm was that fast. I heard he was good but that is just excellent if he's a better skater than Fowler and would certainly put him top 3 in the draft in terms of skating a long with Rielly and Yakupov.
The earliest one of these I would pick in a fantasy draft would be Murray since its pretty much a given he'll be in the NHL. If we're going by pure peak potential...
Rielly
Ceci
Dumba (ahead of Pouliot due to more goals)
Pouliot
Lindholm
Murray
Koekkoek
Maatta
Trouba
Reinhart

Not the best example as he didn't have much time to accelerate. In the scrimmages he was skating circles around everyone else.

Lindholm tops out at 35 points per year, in his prime?
That's fine if that's the case I'm just asking but I assume that means he's more of a two way guy then?
What about Reinhart's offensive upside? How much better is it than Murray's or even Lindholm's?
Ceci is low on many estimates, he could turn out the best of them, in my top3.
I was watching the Canada vs Russia series and was not impressed with Ceci. His skating was not something to be impressed about. He also did not seem to be on the same page as Dumba, Murray or Rielly
