[GKJ]

The first 6 names listed above the line are eligible to be put directly on to the list.

Below the line, they are eligible to be moved up to be put on the next poll. If any two are tied in bottom portion, I'll just move both of them up (or if I don't vote, break the tie).

Engage in discussion! Help those less fortunate out!

I voted Chaisson with an add to Barrie.

Chaisson has more upside as a power forward than Brown, while Brown is a safer bet to make the NHL (although likely nothing more than a 3rd liner).

The knock on Chaisson's game has been his skating but I'm not too worried about that for two reasons. First, scouts believe his awkward skating is the result of him filling into his large body and just getting used to it in general. Also, scouts saw an improvement in his skating over the course of last season.

Button has potential as well but he's way too mistake prone for a defenseman in my opinion. Bubnick is too inconsistent for me to consider at this point (although he could potentially be next), Lehner I like a lot as a goalie and I know absolutely nothing about Henowski.

You're the only one who wants him there.


The rate this is going right now, you only need 2 other people who want him on the list.


To break the tie, I will vote for Haula.
