DobberProspects Fantasy Mailbag - July Edition

[Crazy Joe Davola]

Summa summa time!

Let's hear those prospect related questions!

Ready. Set. Ask!

[maxwellshouse]

where do you rank jonathan dahlen in Vancouvers prospects and what is his upside....also, what happened to jake virtanen

[newper114]

1) what do we see from Zacha in NJ and what position do you see him playing (if he is still considered a prospect)
2) what do you think about the next two years draft classes? Been hearing good things related to next years

Thanks for doing this!

I would really like you to pick the two questions about Dahlen in Vancouver and Zacha in New Jersey. Interested to know about their upside.

I would also like to know how confident you still are on two prospects that are doubted by many poolies: Anthony DeAngelo and Logan Brown. Do you believe they can reach their upside. Many different opinions on them.

What is Puljujarvi's point floor and ceiling for next year and years to come?

[Axeman33]

I'll lob ya one.

Thoughts on Pontus Aberg this year. He just re-signed for two years. Is he a full time NHL player next year and if so, where do you see him slotting in on that lineup and projections for him.

[The Hitchhiker]

I have to decide to keep one of Montour or DeAngelo or Dadonov as my final rookie keeper. Stud D prospects are always great to have, whereas Dadonov might contribute more this year. My team is in good shape to compete this year and the next few years. I can also keep any of these players next year as a rookie keeper (separate from veteran keepers). So I basically want the best prospect who will contribute this year and next. Who would you keep?

[Avalanche_Ambush]

What do you know about Alexandre texier? He intrigues me as it's not often a team trades up in the draft to get a player from france in the second round. Everything I've read about him sounds good. Just wondering what his chances are of eventually making it to the nhl and being an offensive conntributor? Who is an nhl comparable based on playing style? If he does make it, how many years from now are we talking about? Basically anything you may know! Thanks.

[First Round Pick]

I just reacquired Sonny Milano (originally drafted him), what do you think of him? I know Columbus was not willing to add him in the expansion draft, so they obviously still feel like he has a place. This has to be his last chance to make something happen, doesn't it?

[Keppada]

Could Devin Shore be top 6 in dallas next year and what kind of upside does he have?

[Fighting_Emu]

I just got 6 shiny new prospects from a trade and two waiver adds to help solidify a very shallow farm on my shiny new team. Only real prospects/young guys I had worth getting excited about were excited about weree Kaprizov, Tuch, Korpisaalo, and Wideman whom Im not that excited about). Got some good advice from the forums I think but not sure hwat I bought-lol!!!

For Killorn and a 2nd in 2019 I got:

C Yakov Trenin, C John Hayden, D Haydn Fleury and a 2nd this year.

I used my first waiver priority on Darren Raddysh whom I heard about on dobberprospectsradio (man what a great podcast!!!).

Lastly I grabbed Yanni Gourde based on a ramblings not too long ago.

I know nothing and less about these guys- hahaha! Would love some insight on what I got. The price was very reasonable (basically had to demote Killorns salary anyways)- so even small degrees of upside are good news :P

[donpaulo]

Assuming Burnaby Joe does little to improve the Avs blueline what can the colorado defensive prospects do to improve the dreadful situation ?

[Bstbullies]

Your thoughts on Jayce Hawryluck and where he will slot into the FLA lineup if he makes the team. Also if you answer the Vancouver question on Dahlen and Virtanen maybe include some insight on Juolevi. Does he have a better than good chance at cracking the lineup now that LD Tryamkin bailed to the KHL?

[forsbergfan]

Please answer the Texier question!

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the Leafs prospect depth chart, considering the abundance of young players already on their big club. They're 12-13th best prospect would be top 5 on most teams. Who are the guys we should be after? At forward, they've got Kapanen, Johnsson, Korshkov, Grundstrom, Brooks, Rychel (least likely to make it IMO), Bracco and a few other quality prospects. And on D they've got Dermott, Liljegren, Rosen, Borgman, Greenway, Rasanen and Nielsen.
I think on most other teams, just about all these guys would be in consideration to be top-9 forwards or 2nd pairing (at least) defencemen in their primes. But there's only gonna be so much room for these guys on the Leafs' stacked lineup. Who are the guys that will probably make it?
BTW Especially interested in hearing your thoughts on Brooks and Borgman.

Any under-the-radar goaltender prospects likely to get a chance to shine at next year's Olympics?
