You are right about locmelis he has gone under the radar but it’s really standing out.
St.Martin was my second favourite forward behind McKenna on the Tigers. Steal for a 6th rounder.
I like Vilmanis on Florida.
Detroit Red Wings most underrated prospects: Jesse Kiiskinen, Max Plante, Emmitt Finnie, Eddie Genborg, Michal Svrcek, Anton Johansson, Carter Gylander, Rudy Guimond are way better candidates to be considered underrated prospects. Dylan James is considered a bust unless he proves otherwise. He is not considered underrated, I'm sorry.
Drott to me is a darkhorse for Florida he was a 2nd rounder on my board. Massive steal imo
