Scott Wheeler's Top 100 drafted NHL prospects

[Sandman]

I wouldn’t blame anyone who puts Wallstedt, Askarov, or Fowler ahead of Wolf, but I can’t say the same for Knight or Levi.

Fowler is awesome, I wanted the Flames to take him desperately last year, but the stupid Habs got him. 2.14 GAA and a .926 SV% this past season in the NCAA.

lol, you are smarter than this

Bouchard isn't as good as the other two there but he's a high-quality puck-moving defenceman who has a shot to score 20-30 goals in this league, again I'd take that player any day

I'll take a crosseyed bouchbomb any day of the week. Especially after the crappy pointmen we have had for the past 6-7 years. The last good one was a prime Gio.

He does - given the opportunity that he is in

Does anyone here think he is anything more than a 40-50 pt, 2nd pairing guy on any other team?

On a team with a good powerplay he's going to get a lot of points because of that shot. It's really hard to quantify Oilers players due to the McDrai effect. Hyman isn't likely scoring even 40 goals a season on another team as he was only a 20 goal guy on the Leafs and he played regularly with Matthews.

We really got lucky with Zayne Parekh. My guess is that a couple of team's ahead of the Flames were accidental tanks and wanted players that can play right away. Parekh won't likely be in the NHL until 2025/26 and not making any kind of impact for a couple of years after that, which fits for the Flames, but maybe not the Jackets, Sens, Kraken, Canadiens, etc...

Parekh will enter the NHL full time similar to Quinn Hughes, in his D+2 year (unless he forces his way on the team this year). There's no reason to think that Parekh won't make any kind of impact until his D+4 year when Hughes was making a noticeable impact in D+2 and signed his current big contract in D+3. Parekh will be an impact player for the team by his D+3 year.
