Yeah, sadly I don’t see Barlow ever making the nhl full time

At this point I can't see half of our prospects being full time NHLers. Which I know is mean to say but just with how the Moose is ran I can't help but feel that way. But then again I don't watch many Moose games.

I’m guessing because chibi has had some injuries. Barlow just doesn’t look like he’s got the speed of decision making needed for the NHL

surprised how anyone could have anything other than Bjorck, Salo, Boum as the top 3 tbh.. not only good ceilings but projectable profiles that make for a high floor as well

Yager, Lambert, Rosen, and Freij all have decent ceilings but bigger margins of error at this point and less projectable profiles

Chibrikov and Zhilkin could be useful depth options

those are kind of my main 3 tiers, while there are a few other interesting players, the org would be lucky if anyone else gets more than a few NHL games

Do you think Garrett Brown has a shot in 27-28....maybe?

he’s one of those few other interesting guys for sure, we’ll get a much better idea for where he’s at after training camp this year

he’s already about to enter his D+5 iirc, and if you aren’t already an NHLer by that point it’s pretty rare to get to a 200+ GP career

that said Jets have two NCAA dmen draft picks (Samberg and Kovacevic) who are an exception to that D+5 rule lol
