Prospect Info: 2016 Annual Prospect Poll #10

[The Midnight Burrito]

Sorensen wins with a pathetic 23%. I have a feeling it's going to be like this the rest of the way. Who's next?

This year's results:

Rank | Prospect | yearly change | overall change 1 | Theodore | +1 | +10 (since 2013)
2 | Ritchie | +1 | +2 (since 2014)
3 | Montour | +1 | +9 (since 2014)
4 | Larsson | +4 | +4 (since 2015)
5 | Jones |n/a|n/a
6 | Nattinen | +4 | +4 (since 2015)
7 | Steel |n/a|n/a
8 | Pettersson | +3 | +3 (since 2014)
9 | Sorensen |0| +4 (since 2013)

Each poll will be open for 48 hours. If it's not close after 24 hours, I'll call it. If it is, it'll go the full 48. In the event of a tie after 48 hours, a 24-hour runoff will be held. The winner will get the open spot; the loser will go back into the pool, not get the next-lowest rank. The poll will go up to #25. Players are in the poll on the basis of HF's prospect criteria. Essentially, skaters with less than 65 games before the season of their 24th birthday, or goalies with less than 45 games before the season of their 24th birthday, are considered prospects. There are some nuances with respect to older-signed players, which I believe only applies to Garret Metcalf this year.

Vote on players using whatever criteria you like. This isn't the readiness poll or the talent poll or the most-likely-to-be-best poll, it's just a survey of who we as Duck fans like.

[AngelDuck]

Welinski then Kerdiles

I'm not as high on Kase as everyone else and I haven't seen any of Kosilla. Little surprised by the love Terry is getting although I've liked what I've seen

 

[mytduxfan*]

Damn it, I went Welinski because I didn't see Kossila.

P.S. Kossila only has 1 "l" in it.

 

[ShadowDuck]

Koss Boss for #10.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Welinski/Kerdiles/Kossila for me.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Looking at a runoff here unless someone breaks the tie in the next couple hours.

 

[Arthuros]

Aaaand Kossila takes it!

 

[Kalv]

I forgot to vote, i`d still have picked Terry.

But i`d took Welinski before i take Kossilla

I took Kossilla. He played very well in his short time in SD and had a great collegiate career. Terry probably has the higher upside, but Kossilla looks like a for sure NHLer, solid 3C . Wellinski, Terry, Kerdiles and Kossilla are all in that same range. Noeson too, but I think Kerdiles has the higher upside right now.

The problem is that i have not seen Welinski or Kossilla play. Going just by the statsheet Welinski had a better stint in the AHL. Are others agreeing that Kossilla was better?

They are both 23 though so we have to be carefull when projecting their future roles.


No doubt i give a lot in advance to Terry. But i saw him play and he looked good with a good potential. Fun fact, he is still 18.
