Hofer since he's already a HOFer.

(Meme votes will never die)

 

[twabby]

Phillips head screwdriver?

Is that a thing?

 

[YippieKaey]

Should be Cam Allen from what i hear. Potential for first round but had a down season. Also, "Cam on Allen" is a good meme.

 

[Calicaps]

Switched my vote. Was Gibson. Now Allen. Tough call at this point anyhow.

Allen out with surgery until 2024….I have him lowered some for now.

Yeah had to lower expectation even more for me because of that injury.

 

[trick9]

Allen.

Out of the players listed there i have him at both safest player to stay in the NHL and the highest upside.

 

[Holtbyisms]

Clay again. Most talented goaltender in our current pipeline.

 

[Ridley Simon]

Bogdan. That simple

 

[Random schmoe]

I have no idea. But I guess Clay if only because of likelihood that he'll play some NHL games and may have a decent ceiling. Others considered were LuJo (still maybe NHL 6th/7th d-man), Chase Clark (ceiling), Allen (ceiling) and Brent Johnson (crazy high ceiling but also crazy low floor.)
