But probably has the most potential upside but he's also the least likely to actually play in the NHL.
I personally would go with Firkus as I like him the best but I'm quite biased.
Last Prospect to draft
A tad goal heavy cumulative point dynasty league- weekly hth. My positional depth is good and looking for one more forward to close out the draft. The only consideration is they need to be promoted or cut after 100 games played. I'm not especially worried about timeline with this oneJust curious what people think...

Re: Last Prospect to draft
But for me. He'll take longer for a few reasons (Russian factors and his huge size) but I think he's got the most upside once he arrives.

Re: Last Prospect to draft
Firkus & But have the best names and the most upside for me.

Re: Last Prospect to draft
But for me, but he's years away. Of Firkus and Bystedt I like the Swede to show up a little sooner.

Re: Last Prospect to draft
But
Bystedt
Firkus
Agree with all comments above.
But is a LONG wait - most big frame players are... Russians maybe even more with KHL contracts.
Bystedt is going to be ready soon - and he'll be solid - but he's more of a future two-way C2, I believe.
I much prefer wingers (But, Firkus) over centers (Bystedt), typically - because of the offense that is robbed from a center needing to focus on two-way NHL play.
Firkus - it'll depend on his opportunity/linemates.
A LOT of undersized, shifty kids have been tearing up the WHL with scoring last 5 years.
Some of my thoughts are in a thread on Wyatt Johnston vs. Logan Stankoven.
Stankoven... Zach Benson... Matthew Savoie... Kyle Crnkovic... Jayden Halbegwachs...
IDK... are they very very different players?... or somewhat similar...
The "small" thing seems to be no problem in the WHL.
Will it be an issue in the NHL?
Personally - I think so.
Stankoven & Benson & Savoie... I think they'll make it in some regard.
I can't see Firkus nosing his way onto PP1.
Bystedt might...
But... probably. He could be a nasty net-front presence.
For pure points - the first thing I think of is this "Is this player going to be a future PP1 forward on this team?"
Re: Last Prospect to draft
Thanks everyone- some compelling arguments here...
