Who knows, some of JFresh's takes are... interesting.
It's 100% a joke list, I mean c'mon... a bunch of those names don't exist on any player databases (to say nothing of the roster lists of the teams that they "play" for).

It's a prank list.
I didn't even look at it, so good guess I suppose.
I like Dickinson's toolbox. A good skater/ puck distributor with D first tendencies and a cannon of a shot. By all account in excellent physical condition, coming up from a program that promotes excellence.
I just look at Dickinson, then at Silayev, and Silayev's tools are better in pretty much every way. I don't see how you pick Dickinson, if Silayev is also available.
Given his newly confirmed size and how well he interviewed, along with Michkov coming over early, I don’t see how Demidov drops to 5. ANA or CLB will take him.

NHL scouts are like girls on Tinder. Once they found out he was over 6 ft, he became much more attractive.

Ahead of schedule, Upside Hockey's Final Rankings just released. I'll add this to the original post here as well.
* >400 prospects featured in our mammoth spreadsheet
* >220 profiles by Sandman!
(Lindstrom admittedly making me a wee bit nervous as well. Our chief of scouting E-Mac covets big skilled centres. My personal preference (and realistic) would at 9th would be Buium, Parekh, Dickinson, Catton, Iginla; I'd also jump on Demigod Demidov should he increduously drop to our slot)
Added:
- as mentioned added Sandman's latest 5 profiles putting us 244 total!
- as mentioned, added Sandman's final "tiers" of prospects (on prospect profile page at the top)
- also added my mock draft to the mock draft page; might try and get a 2-3 round one done today!
- NOTE: the massive spreadsheet has a ton of features in various tabs as well as video links of prospects on the right hand side of the main rankings spreadsheet
- We also now have the Top 64 for the 2025 NHL draft as well!
Happy Draftmas! It's the most wonderful time of the year (extra wonderful thx to Chucky and Benny).
I will admit I don't know enough about all these kids but from watching some video and reading lately I am hoping the Flames draft Helenius or Catton with their first pick. I am sure a lot of people are excited about the Iginla chance, and he is a nice player, but the other two have caught my interest more, both centers with offensive talent and I think Helenius has the defense side figured out also.
I would be okay with moving up from 9 (if the flames feel there's a clear standout I support that) in addition to another top 15 pick! Set your expectations high! Let's goooo

Those are probably my big 6 as well, in no particular order. My hunch is that only Catton and Iginla are likely to be there at 9 though.

From Sandman's Hot 100 2024 NHL Draft Board, I've got direct links to Upside for his Top 32 (I have more completed and will add as time permits - crunch time!)
- I have added these to the original post in this thread as well
Sandman's Final Draft Rankings (from Top 100):
reminder: his Top 100 is found in the original post of this thread and his tiers are found on Upside's prospect profile page.

I know, I even want Silayev now too and I hate BIG bust players.
