If there’s one player that I expected the community to vote higher than any panelists on it was Florian so I’m not surprised at all to see it happened. Might also be the case for Arber when his turn comes.

When I read that he was drafted last year, I thought they drafted him because or Arber Xhekaj. Never heard of him before, and kinda perplexed.
But then, when I saw numerous highlights of his recent season in the OHL, now I get it. He’s mean, gritty, can score, work pretty hard and most importantly, not afraid of nobody, and play smart enough to not get penalties. I’m glad he is on our team, not in Boston or Philly or Florida.
Right now, he’s one of the few prospects I’m looking for at the next training camp. Will he make it? I doubt it (if not, he’s going to Laval), but if he does and dominate in the camp, then Pezzetta is in big trouble.

Florian has the profile of a 4th liner, only for that reason he should be ranked way higher.
He’ll never be as good as Juraj or a top 6 power forward, but every team needs depth physical guys.

Florian seems to project to be a somewhat higher upside than Pezzeta. But bigger body and hopefully a bit more skill. These types of player definitely have a role on the team.

The guy projects as a 4th liner, I don’t think he should be this high, especially over guys like Heineman who actually have NHL tools.
