It's time for a *NEW* prospect ranking folks! What are YOUR thoughts on my list? What do YOU agree & disagree with? And where would YOU favorite team's top prospect end up for you? Let me know! #GravGang
I really feel like you underrate Nikishin’s value. If his potential was believed to be middle pairing he would’ve already been traded for something. Carolina views him as the future 1D with Slavin
I like Yurov a ton, and he's of of those that justtttttt missed the honorable mentions. Kind of like Snuggerud in the way that he creates a lot of offense from his defensive habits, we'll see how far that takes him in NA!
Came here to scream exactly this plus the fact he's easily top 10 How he's flying under the radar blows my mind. He's above Ivan Demidov in every sense as well
@kickedoffthetour above demidov is just stupid to say lol and I like yurov. He's no demidov. You gotta be the first person I ever even heard say that.
@finalguildis development isn't guaranteed. Demidov could be great but could also struggle to make the jump. Yurov has proven himself vs men and will be in the NHL in 14 months.
It’s a fun time to be a Sharks fan. I was annoyed at first that they passed on Buium, but Grier wants to make the team bigger and stronger. Dickinson seems like a good fit. Hopefully Haltuunen and Dickinson continue their chemistry to the NHL.
Something that i noticed during the SJ sharks prospect scrimmage is that Smith and Celebrini play at different speeds. Smith attacked like a cobra strike. Celebrini slowed the game down and made the defense collapse.. while he controlled the tempo.(Reminds me of Joe Thornton) Having that change up in game pace on a 1st and 2nd line is so intriguing.
@@GravitehHockey I'm hoping we end up with Hensler with our pick and Trethewey with FV's. That said, based on current rankings and expectations of where the Sharks are going to finish (bottom five), Hensler would be a reach. Hopefully he plays his way into picking him there not being a reach.
If Washington can make the playoffs Ryan Leonard will join. Could be a huge wildcard and really help them out. Especially if they're struggling offensively.
For me he'll be a solid D for Montreal for a long time, no denying that from me! I just prefer the ceilings of the guys I listed here, I don't quite see the same dominant upside in Reinbacher, but I hope he proves me wrong!
@madjack3152 I'm a habs fan and I agree reinbacker is a mediocre prospect. We have some good prospects. The only great prospects we have are lane hutson and malliox. The we have a elite prospect in demidov.
No Sennecke on this list? There is a reason he was rising as fast as he did. Keep an eye on him, he will be top five on this list next year. Bank on it!
Honestly when you look at it, Michkov so far has proved the most besides Logan Stanloven of your Stars, he's played in the KHL which is right next to the NHL because of the tough and brutal players which leads me to think his production will translate the best and will improve the best over these other guys with what we've seen of him. This may change by next year but for now, 19 year old Michkov has to be #1.
michkov has to be number 1 dude is amazing and is literally with bedard as the future best players in the nhl. he also has the highest ceiling on this list
@@marcbabineau6001 Dude is young idk why people don't understand this, the flyers saw offensive talent in him and he will mature and become better defensively especially under Torts, don't jump the gun and plus what great two way game do either demidov or celebrini have, I could say the same about Macklin since he just puts up points.
@@marcbabineau6001”all he does is snipe” how i know you’ve never watched him play. Dude is an elite playmaker as well. He’s got the best hands in this entire list. He’s very agile and can get around defenders easy. He pulled off a Michigan goal in a world junior game against Sweden. He’s one of the most skilled players I’ve ever watched and he’s only 19.
Lambert is going to have best chance this year surpass alot of these guys. Connor Scheifele Villardi Ehlers Lambert Perfetti Nino Lowry Appleton Iafallo Namestnikov Chibrikov Morrissey Demelo Samberg Pionk Miller Heinola Stanley Fluery I know people were making big deal of Mcgroarty. But Jets still have Barlow,Salmonsson,Milic,Divincentiis,Lambert,Chibrikov,Lucius,Freij,Ford,Zhilkin,Julien.
I had him ranked #14 in my final rankings, I do really like the kid and you could obviously see the potential! But if I ranked him on this list it would've meant I change my opinion on him only because of where he was drafted, which I just wouldn't do. But absolutely would make a top 50, and he could be in for a big next season!
Please do a video on the free agents heading into next season and whether they’ll sign with their team or not. I know there’s a few obvious players that’ll be re signed but they’re a few players that are questionable and I’d like to hear your opinion.
I respect stickin to your own opinion and having Levshunov at 10 and not having the draft impact your standing, but personally I would still put him above Buium
Omg. Amateur hour? 1. Shane Wright 2. Berkly Catton 3. Carson Rehkopf 4. Nathan Villeneuve 5. Jagger Firkus 6. Caden Price 7. Ty Nelson 8. Jani Nyman 9. Clarke Caswell 10. Julius Miettinen 11. Eduard Sale. After that it doesn’t really matter. Go Kraken!
Not having Reinbacher at least in the Honorable Mentions is probably something not to sleep on. This guy is incredibly talented and underrated. *Not coming from a Montreal Canadiens fan*
I agree, hes very underrated and solid on the ice and I think if he becomes a top pairing defenseman for Montreal, he will prove the haters wrong that only look at his stats and not what he does on the ice.
I think he'll be a solid dependable D for Montreal for a long time, I just prefer the ceilings of the other players and D on the list, but he'll be perfect in his role!
Yeah I’m definitely higher on Yurov and Nikishin than a lot of that back quarter of the list, I think new bright and shiny in lower leagues shouldn’t out weigh a lower drafted prospect that has shown the ability to take on bigger roles and produce at higher leagues.
where would you have Nate Danielson at if you expanded this list? the pick was shoddy on draft day but after he got to Portland he seemed like a different man entirely.
Michkov is currently the best prospect in the world… ppl seem to forget he was the consensus 2nd overall pick last year. He played on a terrible team in the KHL and still put up great numbers all while his dad died and was ill half the year. Definitely better than demidov…
@@qcdonvito4505that’s just not true. I’ve watched both play. Demidov is good player. Michkov is a phenomenal player. Michkov pulled off Michigan goals in world junior games against Sweden and Czech. He’s the most skilled prospect I’ve ever watched. And he’s not like Zegras where he just is good for Michigans.
The only thing that Michkov has better than Demidov is his shooting. Demidov is gonna be an elite playmaker, Michkov is more of a one man army with a deadly shot.
@@Blue-bv1uryou're just among a bunch of guys who just need new glasses 😂 Michkov has not only an elite shot he's a Great passer too his vision and brain are Generational his hands are as good as Demidov.. only areas where Demidov is clearly ahead is speed and playmaking but the gap is not huge on that aspect. Michkov is just a different kind of passer who just lean more toward his vision and the fact he thinks the game 2, 3 steps ahead of his oponents.. that attribute is Supreme and all those traits makes him a future top line franchise winger lock if all continue to go in the right direction for him honestly guys you're fool
Insane how underrated Wright is lately. Going to shut a lot of mouths, he's a great center. And Seattle is in good hands with him Beniers and Catton down the middle. And Nikishin not top 5? And where is Yurov? Weird list an order but i respect it.
@@daveblanco8271you wouldn’t be saying that if the Habs drafted Michkov last year instead. Put ur bias aside and realize one kid is playing against grown men and almost averaging a PPG at 18/19 and the other has never even played in the KHL lol
I’m still super upset as a Sharks fan that Grier picked Smith over Michkov… I totally agree with and support Dickinson over Buium though. Having said that, Smith should be a solid 2C for years to come, so not the end of the world.
i don’t think michkov wanted to play for the sharks. it’s said that he didn’t even show up to interviews. i would much rather have a player like smith who wants to play for the sharks. also he won’t just be a “solid 2C” he could be one of the best 2Cs in the league. smith is an unbelievable player.
Lambert and Reinbacher crazy underrated rn. And Demidov over Michkov before Demidov has even played a game of pro is definitely questionable considering Michkov outplayed him at the same age in the same leagues
i cant even...player who has played 2 years khl..and another one with only mhl (juniors) be higher? rediculous. i have been liking your videos...this one was bad one. demidov at my opinion never gonna be same level as michkov. still very good player...
Based top 10, the lack of sample size of Demidov over Mitchkov at the KHL level tends to influence people take, but If you really analize their game you can give an edge to Demidov
@@إسماعيلالأندلسي better in scoring yes, but look at a kucherov for exemple he scores an average of 30-35 goals per year but has 80-100 assist. Now would you pick Stamkos over Kucherov ? If yes your opinion doesnt matter
@@chris.h4007Lmfao what kind of take even is this? Michkov could very well score 50 goals and 70-80 assists in his prime. You forgetting he played on the worst KHL team in the league with zero help? Now put him on a line with Konecny and an NHL 1C and see what he does.
@@DarksideJim Mitchkov fan girl out here going around any comment and giving the most random ass take with crazy number while the kid is 5'9 and never played in the nhl in his life
I love your hockey smarts and also this year so many great prospects. However, I do agree with everyone here and I do believe Michkov should be ahead of demidov. In fact I think he is very close to Celebrini. There are about 7 players not on this list that could easily be on the top 25. It is so hard to predict especally this year
Love Demidov, but let's be honest. Michkov should be ahead if him and possibly Celebrini. Just a few years ago before the Russia/Ukraine nonsense Michkov and Bedard were the future of the NHL. Before Michkov signed his KHL contract it was up in the air who was better considering Michkov played better internationally
@@sirfish9824 He killed it at The Hlinka/Gretzky tournament as well! He’s been playing with men since he was 16. The kid is going to be a beast! Speaking of, The Eagle has landed. Briere ans Jonesy just picked him up at the airport!
Michkov is gonna make these lists look very bad when the season starts. First couple games he’s gonna score some insane goal and everyone will hop on the train.
A 30 goal 6’3 dman has been left off this list, I know yakecmhuck probably isn’t as good as Buium or parekh but cmon he’s definitely a mid draft +3 Mid Dman in Edvinsson.
He's gonna play a ton of games and be good in his role, I just prefer the upside especially offensively with a lot of the other prospects on the list, but we'll see how he does!
@@إسماعيلالأندلسي Yes ahead of Michkov. Nikishin is setting KHL records and is extremely competent at both ends of the ice at 22 years old. Michkov is an offensive dynamo clearly. But he hasn't proven nearly as much as Nikishin and he doesn't have much of a backchecking game as of yet.
@@matthewp3499 strange metric you have dude Nikishin 1st job is to be great defensively because of his position now if you tell me Nikishin is better at defense than Michkov at offense then now I'd say to you that indeed, you're absolutly delusional
@@إسماعيلالأندلسي That's not what I said. But Nikishin is one of the best two way defensemen in the game. Michkov is absolutely an offensive dynamo but his inexperience shows on his defensive assignments. He can absolutely improve there, but there does need to be some improvement. Nikishin however seems to have the complete package put together now and he's 22.
Michkov is the best prospect in hockey I’m sorry. His stats are incredibly stronger than Demidov (And all the credit to him he has high skill) but Michkov is generational and has the stats to prove it.
@@SURVIVORkid23 he certainly has the potential to be, but he hasn’t played against grown men and performed at the level Michkov has, it’s kinda absurd to say he is.
How is Parehk on here but not Yakemchuk? They’re both over a point per game and it’s harder to do this in the WHL especially as a dman than in the OHL. Dickinson also on the list? Huh, okay…🙄
@LETZGONHLdraft yeah is that how you judge players? Cristall had to carry his team he only had Iginla who didn’t even play 5v5 with him and Price who’s decent nobody else. Cowan played for probably the most best team in the CHL with Dickinson Bonk Haltunen O’Rielly Barkey and Gazizov. They scored on average a goal more every game than Kelowna as well. If you compare the offensive talent and tools you will see it ain’t close
@LETZGONHLdraft bro that literally means nothing Kelowna had 3 good players Cristall literally didn’t have any NHL level talent line mates and the team as a whole was mid while Cowan had many very good players around him and the whole team was very strong and deep that makes a huge difference

Yeah he's clearly missing something. Nikishin has been near the top on other lists.
Yurov not being there after winning KHL cup out scoring Tarasenkos U21 record interesting

Kind of like Snuggerud in the way that he creates a lot of offense from his defensive habits, we'll see how far that takes him in NA!
Yeah it’s a complete joke that sort of questions grav’s credibility. Yurov has no significant flaws and what he did in the KHL is extremely special

Not having Nikishin top 10 invalidates literally everything else you can say for the rest of the video.
I think you could just say his underrating of all Russian prospects. He is to in love with north America to put Russian hogh
Michkov made the all star team in the KHL while Demidov was relegated to the MHL, but Demidov is better?
Michkov is gonna make these lists look very bad when the season starts. First couple games he’s gonna score some insane goal and everyone will hop on the train.
agree with you except for lane hudson should be higher !!!!
I feel like nate Danielson should be in that 20 range.
Thank you !
Biggest guys you missed
Savoie
Lambert
Kulich
Askarov
And Yurov
A 30 goal 6’3 dman has been left off this list, I know yakecmhuck probably isn’t as good as Buium or parekh but cmon he’s definitely a mid draft +3 Mid Dman in Edvinsson.
Simashev over Reinbacher is interesting...
Bro’s clueless
no musty or nikishin? as a sharks fan i think nikishin is the best defensive prospect in the world rn.
Habs have Demidov, Slafkovsky, Reinbacher, Hutson, Caufield, Suzuki and Dach. Good luck NHL 😂
I'm taking leanord over Lindstrom but they go hand in hand I guess
I’m wondering where would Conor Geekie be? Around 30-40 range?
What about reinbacher?
The Canadiens de Montreal are proud to select David...............
He's gonna play a ton of games and be good in his role, I just prefer the upside especially offensively with a lot of the other prospects on the list, but we'll see how he does!
hutson underrated bc of his size 😢
Imagine if Montreal landed both Demidov and Michkov
Kulich in the 18-20 range imo. Better than Lekkerimaki.
Reinbacher will become a number 1 Shut down Defenseman playing with hutson
What do you think about Calum Ritchie?
The fact that Nikishin isn't your #1 is an absolute travesty. He is absolutely a #1 D in the NHL. I question your ability to watch hockey now.
Very strange omission.
Lol even ahead of Michkov ? Hope you'll not respond "yes" because I would question your own ability too
@@إسماعيلالأندلسي Yes ahead of Michkov. Nikishin is setting KHL records and is extremely competent at both ends of the ice at 22 years old. Michkov is an offensive dynamo clearly. But he hasn't proven nearly as much as Nikishin and he doesn't have much of a backchecking game as of yet.
@@matthewp3499 strange metric you have dude Nikishin 1st job is to be great defensively because of his position now if you tell me Nikishin is better at defense than Michkov at offense then now I'd say to you that indeed, you're absolutly delusional
@@إسماعيلالأندلسي That's not what I said. But Nikishin is one of the best two way defensemen in the game. Michkov is absolutely an offensive dynamo but his inexperience shows on his defensive assignments. He can absolutely improve there, but there does need to be some improvement. Nikishin however seems to have the complete package put together now and he's 22.
Michkov is the best prospect in hockey I’m sorry. His stats are incredibly stronger than Demidov (And all the credit to him he has high skill) but Michkov is generational and has the stats to prove it.
No Rutger 😶
Imagine not having Arseni Gritsyuk on this list!
How high do you rank Noah Östlund?
Bro SJ…. With Dickinson, Smith and Celebrini…….
Michkov > Demi dog or celebrini from hawks fan
Agreed
Yeah I think he just wants habs fans to comment and boost his views.
Habs Fan here, Demidov is not better then Michkov
I dont think so either, but i've heard articles arguing it. Demidov is going to be so fun to watch regardless.
Habs fan here, yes he is
@@SURVIVORkid23 he certainly has the potential to be, but he hasn’t played against grown men and performed at the level Michkov has, it’s kinda absurd to say he is.
@@brandumb925 agreed
I like how he says that with the confidence of a guy that's just back from the future that saw their whole careers.
San Jose is nowhere near socal
No, but it is South Bay!
Nocal is the new Socal
Damn, no Seamus Casey (Njd) on this list??
I guess Tom Willander doesn’t exist in the Canucks prospect pool…
Mcgroarty and lambert gotta be top 25
Michkov is so far and above Demidov and Celebrini it's not even funny
How is Parehk on here but not Yakemchuk? They’re both over a point per game and it’s harder to do this in the WHL especially as a dman than in the OHL. Dickinson also on the list? Huh, okay…🙄
Because one is all offense. Also yak when higher then he should have e
You missed out on Dalibor Dvorsky?!!!
No Cowan and Yurov is so shit Grav
Musty>cowan
@@thegamingorange6799 Cristall > Cowan
@LETZGONHLdraft yeah is that how you judge players? Cristall had to carry his team he only had Iginla who didn’t even play 5v5 with him and Price who’s decent nobody else. Cowan played for probably the most best team in the CHL with Dickinson Bonk Haltunen O’Rielly Barkey and Gazizov. They scored on average a goal more every game than Kelowna as well. If you compare the offensive talent and tools you will see it ain’t close
Both Cowan and Yurov would be around my 30-40 range, don't mistake them not being on here with them being bad prospects at all
@LETZGONHLdraft bro that literally means nothing Kelowna had 3 good players Cristall literally didn’t have any NHL level talent line mates and the team as a whole was mid while Cowan had many very good players around him and the whole team was very strong and deep that makes a huge difference
Great video
Michkov disrespect tbh, he’s the best prospect in the world
Hi, You left out DAVID Reinbacher
Everybody still sleeping on Dvorsky
Dalibor divorsky??? Where is he at?
23/24 season counts as last year or last season
I'm just glad Tij didn't end up in Calgary !!
