Nikishin can definitely lay the boom.
Trikozov being a tier above Cutter Gauthier is a very hot take at this stage in their careers. Not saying it couldn't be correct, just very bold considering Gauthier was a surprise to be in tier 3 yesterday vs Trikozov a surprise in tier 2.
I'd personally move Blake up a tier (has a better shot at being an everyday guy than most on this list), Khazheyev up a tier (probably the most highly-regarded goalie prospect in our admittedly-shallow group), and Gleb down a tier (huge ceiling but low floor). Otherwise, a great list!
Here's my personal top 10 list:
1. Nikishin (Core)
2. Nadeau (Core/Depth Tweener)
3. Morrow (Core/Depth Tweener)
4. Blake (Depth)
5. Unger Sorum (Depth)
6. Trikozov (Depth)
7. Badinka (Depth)
8. Perron (Depth)
9. Artamonov (Depth)
10. Rykov (Depth/Maybe Tweener)
HMs: Ryan Suzuki, Timur Mukhanov, Charles-Alexis Legault, Joel Nystrom, and Ruslan Khazheyev. They're all maybes but they all have potential to play at least some NHL minutes, especially Suzuki in a bottom-6 role. He has had terrible injury luck in his career but he still has a chance to be an NHL player.
dont underestimate the force of felix unger sorum
Let’s talk after ten games played. Staying hopeful and realistic.
This was very well done!
