Connections to what? Martin Necas in Carolina? Or former USDP player in mcgroarty?

Lol. No, I don't believe him at all. Clickbait

Buium might be the best of the 4. He outperformed Power in the ncaa for a comparison and can do everything you want. Shades of Fox and Makar. Dickinson has a bunch of questions on his decision making and ability to play faster (make decisions fast). Still, he racks up points and can run a pp. He's not any different though than Power or Byram really. Luchenko is very young and has a lot of upside. He mainly uses his speed and good passing. Ottawa is betting on 1 year of good production but it's a good bet. Helenius is hard to compare to the defenders but plays a structurally more sound game because Liiga is better than the ohl. I think his defensive game is above Luchenko for sure. Luchenko has better skating but I think Helenius is smarter. If I had to rank them today. Buium Helenius Dickinson Luchenko

Beck is bigger, and you could still add Kelly. We need more than 1 grit guy.

We can replace Joker

My point is simple. None of you would mention his size being some hindrance if he was 6' 190lbs but are having issues cuz he's 5'11" 190lbs saying he's just like Östlund. Ik why, because dumb talking heads like Pronman are vomiting that out.

And I was stating he's not magically small because he's 1" under 6ft as other players have been just fine at such a size... and he's 18.

Yes he does. You're all just spelling his name wrong. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/619102/vasili-zelenov

Pavel Datsyuk was 5'11" and 190lbs. Something to think about.

Don't hate him. Recognize his passing and shot are mediocre at the nhl level. He's replaceable and not a 3c

Probably that every player you named is on their AHL team at least, so they can wait until the prospect challenge and focus on these guys. I'll say this, I expect Helenius to stand out in this group.

It's development camp, complain about the NHL team in one of 50 other threads about them. Yes. It's working with fringe, new, and development players to help them learn and see where they are at. It's a good thing to do.

Cuz Washington could have just matched and then you'd just have nothing but a 2nd round pick who will be here in 3-5 years

Fill your hands, you son of a B

Jordan Martinook is another 4th line guy who also is good defensively. 6' and only 31, played on Carolina for the past few seasons so knows good possession hockey.

Yaakov Trenin is a 4th line Center that mildly interests me. 6'2" with okay defensive numbers and 27yrs old.

I'm over it tbh. I wanted more out of trading that pick and we saw that around the league but at least this guy is absurdly gritty and tough. They need more though, in ufa or trade, they need more than 1 gritty tough guy.

Biggest draft steals of round 1 FCHockey KYLE PEREIRA KONSTA HELENIUS, C, BUFFALO SABRES "Shades of Zach Benson, the Buffalo Sabres yet again drafted a player that was highly thought of but fell too far on draft day. Like Benson, Konsta Helenius could challenge for a roster spot right out of camp next fall, and will be given every opportunity to earn it. Helenius was FCHockey’s fifth-ranked prospect, sliding nine spots down from that spot. What makes him such a great prospect is his incredible intelligence and mature game. He plays a pro-style game already, having success against men in Finland already. But, unlike most labeled as a pro-style prospect, he does not lack dynamism." "I think his game without the puck has improved over the course of the season and he also does small but important things like screens, box outs, masks and loops for passes correctly and at the right times,” FCHockey scout Arttu Myllymaki said. “He is arguably one of the most talented players in the 2024 draft.” there's other listed and it's a good read

If you mean a good 2way forward with say 25g and 35a, yes.

The Capitals were terrible last year. Goes to show how easy just making the playoffs is.
