[Hello Johnny]

Motte, Peeke, Tarasov, Sherwood, and Thurkauf are in my next cluster. Hard to choose between them, but I'll go with Motte.

 

[The Wheelchair]

Motte, Peeke, Tarasov, Sherwood, and Thurkauf are in my next cluster. Hard to choose between them, but I'll go with Motte.

I've got them clustered similarly:

Tier 1 (elite potential and/or very high probability):
Abramov
Bjorkstrand
Carlsson
Dubois
Gavrikov
Milano

Tier 2 (very good potential, still a ways away):
Merzlikins
Peeke
Stenlund
Tarasov
Texier

Tier 3 (useful players with limited upside):
Hannikainen
Kukan
Motte
Sherwood
Thurkauf

Tier 4 (high-upside longshots):
Bemstrom
Bittner
Davidsson
Kivlenieks
Thome

Tier 5 (unknowns):
Howarth
Meyer
Stucker
Vainio
Vigneault

Tier 6 (likely just AHLers):
Bird
Collins
Graves
Maletta
Moutrey
Scott
Siebenaler
Zaar

Nice to see others use tiers. My first tier is the four we have already. I don't rank within tiers either. That's why picking who's next is tough right here.

Elvis was just added this past poll!

I do as well. Personal individual rankings would fluctuate too much, at least after the top ~4-5 guys. Basically, my personal tiers are:

-Players I'm really optimistic about.
-Player to keep an eye on.
-Players I haven't given up on (or aren't really on my radar yet), but need to show a lot more, and soon.
-Players I'm at least fairly sure won't make it.

 

[major major]

Stenlund add Davidsson. (the two best players at devo camp).

 

[SavesEmNot]

Elvis was just added this past poll!

He was, but Samkow also put him in the "to be added" pile as well. Oops.

 

[hockey17jp]

Milano add Sherwood

 

[The Wheelchair]

As a general comment not directed at anyone: I think people are sleeping on Peeke. He's big, mobile, has a great hockey sense, excellent vision, a very good shot, and he's a perfect fit for Tortorella's north-south system. Look at this ridiculous shorthanded breakout pass at 0:33: https://youtu.be/HSnOyCg4-co?t=33s.
