Re: rank the top 10 draft prospects for 2026
Thanks for the correction. I guess stenberg would be the high motor. What i was referring was in the link was the wrecking ball comment and punishing to play against.Pierre McGuire wrote: ↑13 Dec 2025 15:30 pmBelchetz isn’t a high motor guy but his skating is fine and he gets to where he needs to be.Younghopp1991 wrote: ↑13 Dec 2025 14:47 pmIm going to try and catch his game on tv sunday to see him for myself.

Stenberg definitely has the motor…for me at this moment it’s still Belchetz if he’s there when we pick. Carels could possibly change my mind in the WJC’s provided he makes the roster and gets some playing time.Younghopp1991 wrote: ↑13 Dec 2025 16:04 pmThanks for the correction.

We need a wrecking ball scoring winger in the system more than a smallish skilled winger with a high motorYounghopp1991 wrote: ↑13 Dec 2025 16:04 pmThanks for the correction.
