I’ve got no problems with NHL.com’s Mike G. Morreale. He’s capable, educated regarding the both the prospect development and NHL worlds, and he’s a gentleman as well. So this isn’t meant to start a beef with him. This is…
A bit of confusion. Because Morreale is the byline on NHL.com’s list of the Top 10 forwards under 25 in the NHL.
The list goes like this:
- Tim Stuetzle;
- Jack Hughes;
- Matt Boldy;
- Wyatt Johnson;
- Cole Caufield;
- Connor Bedard;
- Macklin Celebrini;
- Matthew Knies;
- Seth Jarvis;
- Matvei Michkov.
Again, I’m not pissed off here, but there’s a certain 23-year-old from Gothenburg, Sweden who’s posted 72-point and 80-point seasons over the past two years, and has posted 58 goals and 94 assists over that two-year campaign, cracking the 30-goal mark in 2023-2024 and the 50-assist mark in 2024-2025.
He didn’t even make the top 10, and I’m a little confused as to why any list of the Top 10 forwards under 25 doesn’t include Lucas Raymond.
