Look at this thread on HF for example. His rookie WHL season he was seen as right alongside Guenther, who most have as a guaranteed top 10 pick this year. |
Looking strictly at point production and NHL equivalency from Byron Bader's model these are the top 5 in terms of likelihood to be a star.
Guenther
Clarke
Sillinger
Pastujov
Eklund
So Byron Bader's model agrees with you. And yeah hopefully Sillinger or Eklund are there at 12 for the Flames. I'd also love for Flames to trade back up into the late 1st if Pastujov is still around.
