[DCDM]

Knight

 

[InfinityIggy]

Was stuck between Knight/Wotherspoon. Went Wotherspoon this time.

 

[SaintMorose]

I'm between Reinhart & Wotherspoon leaning towards Max

 

[MuffinMerc]

Wotherspooner

 

[SickHandsNoShot]

Ive got to think that Reinhart has to be right behind Knight. They are really similar players, with the slight offensive edge going to Max, and the slight Defensive edge going to Corban.

Agreed they are potential wise, extremely close. Which is why I give the edge to Knight as he is a bit more NHL ready.

 

[Sean Monahan]

Billy Arnold is just as good as Knight/Reinhart in my honest opinion. He's a good player

 

[12]

Not enough Agostino love. I'm a big fan of the way he plays.

 

[QcFlames12]

Gotta go with Wotherspoon, One if not our only D-man with legitimate chance of being a solid #3 or #4 defenceman in the next few years.

Don't think he is as ready, but he could surprise at camp for sure certainly a dark horse to make the team this year.

 

[Haatley]

I got klimchuk, then wotherspoon then poirier

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Don't think he is as ready, but he could surprise at camp for sure certainly a dark horse to make the team this year.

Pretty much word for word what I said before someone reminded me he's committed to returning to college for one more year.

Anyways, went with Knight on this one. Wotherspoon is next for me. He's clearly our best D prospect, with Sieloff 2nd and Kanzig 3rd for me.

I'm highly amused how much one year has changed peoples opinions of Wotherspoon after voting him 17th last year despite a couple of us kicking up a huge fuss.

Ah right, forgot that.

Well, not to toot my own horn but I had Wotherspoon in my top 10 last year and people were calling me crazy.

 

[SaintMorose]

Ive got to think that Reinhart has to be right behind Knight. They are really similar players, with the slight offensive edge going to Max, and the slight Defensive edge going to Corban.

I've got them the other way similar but I think Reinhart can translate more of his offensive game to the pro level; and I wouldn't say Knight is that much ahead in terms of readiness time bulking up while playing in the college league is the biggest reason I see him ahead there.

 

[Hand of Gaudreau]

I said Granlund, because I believe he has a higher ceiling and has been playing pro for a couple years. On top of that he was second only to RNH at the world juniors in terms of points. Also at Dev Camp he showed some really top end talent as well as the ability to win draws.

I could definitely see him fitting into the top six one day whether at center, or as a winger that can win Backlunds faceoffs.

 

[Noori]

I still want to see how Wotherspoon adjusts to the pro game. Yes his defensive play is phenomenal but I want to see how he does against pro scorers. Because he is a player with very little offensive upside, it's hard to get a read on him until he gets a bunch of AHL games under his belt.

Also, he has been playing on an unbelievably stacked team for the past three years. I'm curious to see how he does on a mediocre Heat team, particularly when he is one of potentially three rookie defensemen (Wotherspoon, Ramage, and possibly Culkin).

been a fan of Tspoon ever since I started following Bart on portland. Guy's so good on the defensive side that he'll be a NHLer for sure, Nik Hjalmarsson-lite

 

[Sutter Brother]

Reinhart - NHL ready

 

[Trae]

Went with Knight this one, will be Wotherspoon next round.

Call me a homer for our prospects but I think Wotherspoon can be just as good as Hjalmarsson

Hjalmarsson was downright awful in the playoffs, I'd like him to be better than Hjalmarsson.

 

[Sean Monahan]

not sure what playoffs you were watching...

hjalmarsson was instrumental in chicago's win. that 2nd pairing of oduya and him ate a lot of minutes

 

[DFF]

Should be Klimchuk or Porrier

Otherwise they are less of a prospect than a 4th round....
