Thats the highest I have seen Suzuki ranked. And most likely the lowest for Necas and Pettersson. And Mittlestadt.

And I have no idea who his 10/11 guys are at all

Both those guys are usually in the 15-25 range.

Brannstrom is this year's tiny dude that would be a top 5 pick with 2 more inches, but might fall. Offensive D man with crazy skills. Most places I've seen him grouped with Hague/Foote/Valimaki/Timmins as second tier D with him as the most high ceiling option. Basically the Pronmanest pick.

Vesalainen is a big, fast winger who's consistently ranked 15-20. 6'3 dude with raw skills that struggled in the top pro leagues but was the MVP of the U18 championships. Again fits the Pronman style of speed and pure skill potential over everything else.


They just did Vesalainen as well.

William Nylander fun fact: he was born in Calgary and can likely claim nominal Canadian citizenship as a result, though he grew up mostly in the US and is obviously a Swedish national.

The other Nylander nationality fun fact is because he is a dual citizen and lived mainly in the US as a kid, he technically wasn't eligible to play for Sweden since he didn't have enough time as a Swedish resident and had to get special permission to play in the U17.
