"He was quite productive with some really solid production" – Scouch, about Noah Ostlund
Have to disagree with your helenius assessment. You had Hagens as a core piece and mentioned he had a good playoffs (?), but Helenius came in and made a huge impact deeper in the playoffs, was dominant at a higher level (ahl vs college) and he's only a complimentary piece? Ostlund too for that matter. I wouldnt trade either of those players for Hagens, personally.
Also, you should post the actual pyramid.
The GM sent Ostlund back to the AHL and Ruff was publicly pissed and that got the GM fired. I think him and Helenius are core players.
Helenius had the 2nd most (total) points ever in Liiga for players under the age of 18. The only one with more points was Barkov. Similarly he had the 3rd most (total) points ever before the age of 20 in the AHL. He looked solid in his limited exposure to the NHL. I think you terribly underestimate him to say he might be a 3rd line center in the NHL. As far as skating is concerned he won the AHL's fastest skater competition.
Helenius broke records for Rochester. He will not be third pair.
