I've said this in pretty much all of the last few polls but can someone please confirm with me that no prospects are missing from the list. After I made the last poll I realized Sundsvik was missing and added him here. Now I think I have everyone.

 

[Gliff]

Moore then Galimov. I can't believe Tracey won over those 2.

 

[GunnarStahl]

Tracey is the only prospect to move more than one position

 

[Anaheim4ever]

I don't think Badini is much of a prospect anymore, had 1 point in 23 AHL games and had only 2 points in the ECHL in 14 games.

Volkov because has already accomplished more than anyone on the list will in their entire careers most likely. I originally didn't even know he was considered a prospect still. I'm pretty meh about Volkov he's okay but overall he is already an effective NHL player.... That's more than you can say about probably 90% of this list, most likely.

I am higher than most on Tschigerl. Watching his footage I see a Blake Coleman lite there.

Various fans were saying Tiger was a steal in the draft in the 'best steals of the draft' thread. Most said that about Pastujov from the Ducks but some said Tschigerl instead.
Drafting high in each round really pays off.

What's the scouting report on Moore?

 

[sasha barkov]

Moore w Hinds, Tschigerl, and Colangelo right behind. All have high upside except for Tschigerl, but he has a high floor w the way he plays and is why I grouped him here . I think Moore is another gem we may have found, as well as Hinds. Both big, mobile two way d w good offensive upside. Hinds brings some grit too

 

[sasha barkov]

What's the scouting report on Moore?

Big, long, lanky RHD who is an elite skater in regards to edgework, speed, and transitional skating. Also fantastic gap control, the way he skates allows him to get away w being more agressive and steps up fairly often. He can rifle the puck w his NHL shot and is a fantastic puck carrier. He plays w a lot of authority when the puck is on his stick. I think he's a gem. We took him in the third because he played prep school. He needs some time to fill out his frame and build even more confidence in the ushow and college. When he is 6'3 200/210 and skate how he can he's gonna be a force to be reckoned with

Wrong box

Really surprised to see Colangelo's stock fall this quickly. Kid was a high second round pick (36th overall) just last year...

Like I said about Tracey, it’s way more so a testament as to how deep our prospect pool than Colangelo’s stock falling. Certainly not blaming him for it, but he only played 8 games last season, shouldn’t be shocking that prospects who actually showed they took a step forward are getting ranked ahead of him. And of course if he has a great college season next year like I’m expecting him to, he’ll shoot up the rankings

I wanted them to pick Bordeleau instead of Colangelo after Peterka/Grans/Wallinder were already gone before the Ducks pick.
Bordeleau has improved his stock a lot and SJ has a real gem there.
Then there is Brock Faber that the Kings picked with their extra 2nd that is looking like a steal.

 

[KickHisAssZegrass]

Yeah this is Colangelo for me. I like the potential from what I saw his last Juniors. I'd probably have him just slightly ahead of Moore who looked really solid in the last camp. I'm a fan of of Volkov but he's also 24... I think the other two have more upside.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

I think McLaughlin is underrated but it does seem he's trending towards becoming a College UFA ?

Tracey and Colangelo are your typical Duck picks such that they're safe picks with upside. That also goes for Lundy, Max Jones, and Steel. Perreault is the only player that is out of the norm for the scouting staff for forwards. But for defensemen, it always seems like we're reaching, but we usually end up getting steals. Moore fits into that category. Moore was named as one of the defensemen that have raised their stock in GM Murray's eyes, with the other two defensemen being LaCombe and Thrun.

Colangelo vs Moore

Volkov and Galimov should be in discussion too.

With that being said i feel like our Depth is really strong right now, still have a lot of really solid prospects coming.

 

[TopShelfWaterBottle]

Benoit!

 

[TopShelfWaterBottle]

IMO volkov shouldn’t t be an option

 

[bsu]

IMO volkov shouldn’t t be an option

I agree but he is so he should be picked.

 

[MMC]

IMO volkov shouldn’t t be an option

Only turned 24 in August and has played less than 65 NHL games, so he fits the criteria.
