But when you come into league at 16 years old and you put up 30 goals, 60 points, like that's still something very special.

We just don't see that often.

Loved him at the U 17 world challenge.

He was playing against all his peers and he was the best player in that tournament.

So this is a guy that can really power through guys.

He's very strong.

And again, watching him up close at the U 17 camp last year, like he looked like,

an absolute tank compared to some of these guys that were five foot eight that he was going up against.

So granted, yeah, five foot eight.

And a lot of these guys haven't figured out how to use their size yet.

But I think his ability to go out there and dominate physically really made it easy for him to get to major junior.

And I think he's going to be, he's going to be great.

I think there's just always a bit of hesitancy to take some of these massive forwards, kind of like with Privolov.

Like, would you rather take the more midsize skilled defenseman who could shoot like the, like laser beams all game long, or to get a guy like Alexey Joseph, who, you know,

probably isn't going to win a boatload of, of puck races, but he's got that size and he's got a good shot.

So I've, I think this is a really strong top three.

I think this is maybe a stronger top three now than last year's top three was.

And I hate doing that comparison because it's always so easy to overhype the next projecting hard on a hundred percent.

Uh, but I feel like there's something where like, there's actually a lot of bigger forwards, but also a lot of skilled guys kind of making up a really diverse top 10.

Yeah, so Skortsov, I believe that's how you pronounce him, like watching him play at the Russian junior level, outstanding numbers, you know, 43 points, 52 games is actually quite difficult to achieve at a younger age.
