Eh, IMO it's a rock-solid prospect pool:
Blue-Chippers
Boeser - Top line variety
Pettersson - Top line variety
Gaudette - Top six variety
A-Prospects
Demko - Starter variety
Juolevi - Top four variety
B-Prospects (middle six variety)
Goldobin
Lind
Dahlen
Virtanen
Maybe a bit weak at defense, but overall a good pool.

Ive been to the last two rookie dev.camps held here on the island for the nucks and Boeser, although he is better than most players at the camp's, I dont see him as a Blue-Chipper by any means. He could go either way, Top 6 forward, Career Bottom 6 guy or a warm body in the AHL. He plays a tenacious style but he isnt an "energy" guy. He likes to play physical but doesnt really dominate anyone. He likes the puck but isnt a guy who strikes me as being a game breaker.
Also seen Juolevi live and I thought Jordan Subban was better and thats saying something because I dont think J.Subban is anything that special as well.
I love going to the Nucks dev Camp because is is eye opening to how far back that franchise is when it comes to player development, in my opinion.
