James Hagens is next level! But im mostly interested in Helenius. I hope a team i root for, picks him.

I had my eye on Bednarik he had 3 assists today. Had him top 20 on my list before. Centre/ decent skater/ physical/ back checks/ decent production. Nobody really has a grasp on the U.S u18 players tho or ain’t as high on them

Alexander Zetterberg has become the all-time points leader for the Swedish U18 National team. Ranked something like 70-ish in the 2024 draft. 58 points in 45 J20 games for Örebro this season.

[@Temetsuka]

This is looking to be a very strong draft

[@DonatoWilliams]

Tij is going to be a good one as is Greentree, only time will tell.

Eiserman already has a hat trick, 1st game. The kid is gonna show what he's got in this tournament. Everyone who has Eiserman over 10th overall will be regretting it ! Lol

[@lauig]

Hold your horses, game ended at 9 - 0, there was basically no opposition. Alexander Zetterberg's 2 goals and an apple for Sweden against Canada, or Osmanis single goal for Latvia against Finland are much more impressive than those 3. I'm not saying Eiserman won't keep shining in this tourno or won't go higher into the top 10 in the end, but this one game is no indication at all. (His 2nd & 3rd goals were the last 2 of the game, scored them when those poor Slovakian kids were already crushed to a powder)

@lauig i know its just one game, i just have a gut feeling he's gonna be a stud, he also missed next year's draft by 2 weeks

[@lauig]

@@maxpatenaude2115 Yep of all the top picks, he, Iginla and Celebrini are the youngest indeed. Plays in their favor for sure. With Eiserman i feel his skating is weirdly underrated but that's actually a strong factor as to why he can so easily & so often get into those sniping spots. It will also help him a lot while trying to improve on those other aspects that have knocked him out of the top 5 in most listings. I hope he'll get drafted to a team that has the luxury of patience with youngsters and a seriously good developping program on top of it.
