Hi. I’m “Gio Palermo”, also known as “legorocks99” (“legorocks99Gaming”, “LR99Gaming”, or “LR99”). I post video game commentaries on YouTube revolving around “hockey”, with a primary focus on “Vancouver Canucks”, “Montreal Canadiens”, “Detroit Red Wings”, and top “NHL prospects” topics. These videos are uploaded with “NHL 23” gameplay in the background. I enjoy making these videos and I hope that you enjoy watching them!

Firsttttttt let’s go and also great video I am very happy to be a habs fan
im a proud leafs fan baby.
The Canucks have been bad for years. Therefore, they have been accumulating high draft picks. It’s shocking that they keep sacrificing the future, trading pick after pick. Perhaps what’s even more shocking is that a lot Canucks fans think it’s okay.
That isles list is inaccurate. Isles top 5 (no particular order) are Iskhakov, Dufour, Maggio, George, Odelius. Still not very good and probably should be #32 in the league, but idk what this Byron dude is talking about. Why does he even have Holmstrom as a prospect? He played most of the season with the isles this past season.
I'm not really a believer in baders model, because it's basically looking at stat lines and saying "him good" or "him bad" without actually watching players play.
That said, i think the ranking is pretty accurate
My study does not allow for anyone to have played in 25 or more NHL games to be considered a prospect. Hence my bottom 5 are:
28. Tampa Bay
29. Boston
30. Edmonton
31. Florida
32. Islanders
Daig would be the worst Ottawas 1st over all pick. Thr best 1st over all of all time is most likely Ovechkin or Mario #66 , #99 wasnt drafted or he would be 1st obviously.
