From Foley On Hockey - Substack post fwiw as he breaks down prospect pools:
(formatting didn't translate well)
#22 - Vegas Golden Knights
Trevor Connelly, W, Grade: A+, Projection: High-End Top-Six Driver
A true dominator of possession. Excels at working the offense until golden chances open up. All-three-zones offensive ability. Needs to get by injuries.
Tuomas Uronen, W, Grade: B+, Projection: Middle-Six Grinder
A growing impact, brough speed to his bulk and began dominating transition last year. Hard to stop, hard to slow down, very confident in working with teammates.
Cameron Whitehead, G, Grade: B+, Projection: Solid NHL Backup
Big, square goalie who keeps his crease and doesn’t get beat.
Carl Lindbom, G, Grade: B+, Projection: Solid NHL Backup
Nifty mover for his size, great hands, matches shots well. Needs to work above mechanics to be in the NHL. I think he will.
Arttu Karki, D, Grade: B, Projection: Solid Bottom Four D
Beefy defender who handles the north-south game well. Great stick, hits hard, drives opponents out. Lots for an NHL team to work with.
Matyas Sapovaliv, C, Grade: B, Projection: Hopeful Third-Line Scorer
Big boy centerman improving his ability to play smooth and consistent. Great at moving the puck.
Ben Hemmerling, W, Grade: B, Projection: Bottom-Six C Rotation
Looked like a sharp, physical, responsible center in limited pro minutes.
Pavel Moysevich, G, Grade: B, Projection: High-Potential Third String G
Flashy athlete who beats opponents head-on. Reign in his movements and there’d be a lot of upside here.
Mathieu Cataford, W, Grade: B, Projection: Fourth-Line C
Shifty winger who doesn’t shy away from battles. Reliable all-around in depth roles.
Jakub Brabenec, W, Grade: B-, Projection: Reliable Bottom-Six
Opponents bounce off him as he drives the zone, finds teammates and reacts quickly to loose pucks.
Jakob Ihs Wozniak, C, Grade: B-, Projection: Fringe Third-Line C
