Just noticed people are voting for Dzierkals, when he is already ranked. I think he is supposed to be Fedor Gordeev according to the on the docket list below.

 

[MJ65]

Bobylev

 

[MJ65]

Not sure why Dzierkals is still on this poll

 

[Duke16]

Chebykin is gonna shoot up after this year.

 

[Morgs]

At this point I pretty much only like O'Connell, Kaskisuo, and Chebykin.

Edit: Forgot Gordeev is still available.

 

[ChrisCall]

As i understand it, Engvall has exceptional speed, and going into his first pro season.
I'll give him a vote here.

 

[wasting time]

Dzierkels should not be among these selections. He is already on the Board.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

As i understand it, Engvall has exceptional speed, and going into his first pro season.
I'll give him a vote here.

3rd pro season. Was excellent in the Swedish equivalent of the AHL last year. Was also pretty good two years ago. This as a 19 and 20 year old.

Now he gets his first real taste of the SHL at 21, so hopefully he does well there. He's very underrated IMO.

 

[bobermay]

At this point I pretty much only like O'Connell, Kaskisuo, and Chebykin.

Edit: Forgot Gordeev is still available.

So our recent 7th rounder > our recent 4th rounder??

Chebykin, Kara, Gordeev my next 3.

 

[bobermay]

As i understand it, Engvall has exceptional speed, and going into his first pro season.
I'll give him a vote here.

Lindberg is just as fast, has played pro for a couple years now and only 10 months older

 

[Duke16]

So our recent 7th rounder > our recent 4th rounder??

Chebykin, Kara, Gordeev my next 3.

Probably more so that Kara is as off the board as they come.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Kaskisuo for me. Every time I watch him play he looks great. Only 23 years old, 6'3 finish goalie. Definitely has backup potential and goalies take longer to develop

 

[bobermay]

Probably more so that Kara is as off the board as they come.

Hopefully not off the board to our scouts

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Lindberg is just as fast, has played pro for a couple years now and only 10 months older

Engvall is faster. Lindberg is a lot faster than many people think, but Engvall is better than most.

 

[Mr Hockey]

Engvall is faster. Lindberg is a lot faster than many people think, but Engvall is better than most.

They said in Jr that only Lindberg could keep up with McDavid, Lindberg is an elite skater.

 

[bobermay]

Yup, it really caught my attention during his NHL tryout a couple years ago. I still think he can be a good 3rd/4th line winger down the road.

 

[Mr Hockey]

He is not far from playing in the NHL, he can be really dominating when healthy in the AHL. I see him just blow by 2-3 players going to the net.

 

[Duke16]

Lindberg should be on an upward swing in the rankings if he can stay healthy this year. He probably honestly wouldn't look out of place on an NHL 4th line right now.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

They said in Jr that only Lindberg could keep up with McDavid, Lindberg is an elite skater.

They said he could shut down McDavid in the playoffs, which is impressive, but that does not mean he's as good of a skater. Kadri shut down McDavid too, but nobody says he has elite speed.

If Lindberg was able to "keep up with McDavid", he would be in Kapanen territory, not "possibly out of top 30 in the Leafs pool" territory, even with his injury.

They said in Jr that only Lindberg could keep up with McDavid ... I remember when he was up with the Leafs, the players talked about his speed.

 

[stymie]

Kaskisuo for me. Every time I watch him play he looks great. Only 23 years old, 6'3 finish goalie. Definitely has backup potential and goalies take longer to develop

I like how he grabbed the bull by the horns when he had the chance.
Bodes well.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Well I need some sort of proof then...

Because logically speaking, if you are one of the fastest players in the world like McDavid, have the skills to shut down McDavid in the OHL, and have some good offensive skills like Lindberg does, he'd be in the NHL by now, especially on a Babcock team. Lindberg is exactly what Babcock likes in players; even more so if what you say is even remotely true.

 

[bobermay]

I think I may be undervaluing Lindberg, I have Chebykin, Kara and Gordeev as my next three...

Why did his production take a hit on the Marlies last season? Less minutes?
