Rank these 4 with upside

These kids are all very close. Pure upside I would go:

1. Pulkkinen (80ish)
2. Spooner (75ish)
3. Thomas (75ish - assuming it's Christian)
4. Jarnkrok (70-75ish)

Again, they are all very close and a lot depends on their opportunity. I like Spooner to be the best or least "risky" player but he's got to battle some serious depth. Pulkkinen probably has the best offensive skills of the group. Thomas and Jarnkrok are a toss up for me. I could see Thomas becoming a very productive second line player for the Rangers (60-65 points) once he gets going.

I think while all four are good something that varies a bit is how close they are. I would subtract 5-10 points from the above poster's projections. Pulkkinen is the best but who knows when he comes over to play in the NHL. I think his game is ready since he has been putting up very good numbers for his age in the SM-liiga against men. However when he is personally and contractually ready to make the move across the pond i do not know.

Christian Thomas( 99 points in 66 games and has the speed to play in the NHL, his skating is great and just needs to gain a little more weight and strength,he is by far the best out of all these).
Pulkkinen
spooner
jankrok

just my opinion

Thomas - 80
Spooner 75
Pulkkinen 75
Jarnkrok 70-75

i would rank them like this. i think that i would put Jarnkrok slighlty ahead of Pulkkinen because Im scared of Teemu's injury history. The guy to me is a huge reward/risk pick but his upside is huge.

Spooner- 80 pts. This kid should get a spot with Seguin in a few years and looks to be an absolute stud. I think he is still 2-3 years away but he is gonna explode when he finally makes it.

Jarnkrok- 70pts. He should be an excellent option for Detroits top 6 in a few years but we all know how Detroit slowly brings up their prospects. Also he has a long list of good forwards in front of him with Nyquist and Tatar.

Pulkkinen - 75pts. I feel he does have slightly higher upside but like i stated before, he scares me because of previous injuries. If this guy can stay heathly he might fast track his way into the NHL and hop over a lot of prospects in their system.

Thomas - 70-75pts. He has the bloodlines to be a very successful NHL player. He also had an amazing year in the OHL. The only reason why i have him last is because i think he has a lot of players in his way to make the rangers but as Stepan proved last year, with a good camp any player can get knocked down the pole.

I would say if you wanna gamble and possibly get the biggest reward out of the bunch take Pulkkinen but if you want a safer pick that should actually reach his upside stick with Spooner

The guys are on point with their prediction but i´d keep in mind that Pulks will need the longest road to the NHL and has the biggest bust potential IMO.

These guys are basically all the same. Skilled but tiny. All risky.
