Went with Hartman based on scouting reports I've read about him. While he needs discipline, it seems like I consistently read that he's the best player on the ice for Rockford.

With him being labeled by some as a "more skilled Shaw", I have to think his scoring comes around soon.

I only saw one Hogs game last year, but I know he, Hinostroza, and Pokka all stuck out the most. And that was when Gus was still down.

I think our top 4 is really good, actually. Schmaltz, Forsling, DeBrincat and Pokka could all be impact players.

On another note, Pokka is getting pretty underrated probably. He's the only player from the AHL to make a world cup roster, no?

That's quite interesting if that's the case, I didn't even think about that.

Wobdering what all you Debrincat people think his ceiling is? Because it needs to be pretty substantial to beat Pokka's ceiling/floor combo.

Pokka just doesn't have that Top or Superstar potential.

If DeBrincat can overcome his size, he'll be the better.

Thanks for the correction. I know he was one of few. I thought the only one, maybe that was the world championship after the season ended? IDK. It's more than anything any Hawks prospect has accomplished to this point outside maybe Schmaltz winning a national title, that's pretty big too.

I voted Bondra because I really want to see that frame perform well in the NHL. All wishful thinking though, and I totally agree that DeBrincat is the solid #3 right now.

Pokka then Debrincat. DeBrincat defiantly has the higher ceiling but Pokka is much more of a sure thing.
