[Unsustainable]

Slavin till he wins.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Check your year fearless leader.

 

[DaveG]

no clue how i managed to do that

FWIW, I'm with Cardiac and Bleed on the Carrick train til he's off the board. Likely followed by Slavin, then PDG, McLovin, and Wallmark in some order.

 

[Cane mutiny]

Not enough people have been keepin' up w/Di Gi, I think he will be a real good player for us, if we don't mess him up.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

I have a really good feeling about Carrick and his nhl potential. He was already a decent prospect and took such a big step forward this year. I feel confident in saying he will be an nhl'er in some capacity.

I've really enjoyed getting to watch him these past few seasons in Mississauga. Now there's not too much to be excited about with the steelheads unfortunately except Sean Day who was very lackluster last year in his first season of ohl play.

 

[tarheelhockey]

I was impressed enough by what I saw of Carrick last week that I'm willing to get on his third-tier-prospect hype train.

 

[Unsustainable]

After Slavin my vote is Carrick.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Not enough people have been keepin' up w/Di Gi, I think he will be a real good player for us, if we don't mess him up.

I'd appreciate if you could give us some insight on him since you have been keeping up with him. I have only seen him play a couple of times, but he showed little to no development or improvement in scoring in his 3 years at Michigan, a few U-M fans I know said they had concerns about dedication and effort level, and his scoring pace at Michigan was nothing to write home about.

Since you have been keeping up with him, it would be great to get your input on him. He is a skilled guy and seems solidly built and showed some flashes in the dev't camp (from what I heard).

 

[bleedgreen]

I think Phil should be off the board by now, I just feel the same way about carrick. I haven't agreed with the last few picks other than pesce who would be behind the other two but still in my top ten I think.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Based mainly what I read on here and other outlets (particularly after the top 5), my top 10 skaters would be:

1) Lindholm
2) Fleury
3) McGinn
4) Murhpy
5) Rask
6-8) Carrick/Pesce/Slavin (couldn't say which is above the other).
9) PDG
10) Tolchinsky

This would be based on a combination of ability/ceiling and chance of making it, as obviously there are other guys (such as Jordan) who are closer to making it than most of these guys.

Erik Karlsson is another guy that we likely under-rate on these boards simply because we never get to see him and don't know much about him. When he was here at one of the prospect camps, I noticed very good wheels and good skills (actually stood out over PGD in the two sessions I saw), but was very slight.

 

[bleedgreen]

That's about my list too, with Nedeljkovic or karlson at 10. I flip flopped fleury and lindy at top, flip Murphy and mcginn too.
