Prospect Info: Colorado Avalanche Prospect Poll #5

[Granlund2Pulkkinen*]

Let's get this going... I'm thinking let polls run for 3 days... Try to get the top 20 made - 60 days of polling. This puts us at August 31, 2013 when the #20 poll closes, just in time for TC/PS. I decided to make Nathan MacKinnon Consensus #1 because, quite frankly if you don't think he is the #1 prospect you don't know what you're talking about.

Simple Rules/How things work
1. Vote for who you think is the best prospect using your own criteria. It could either be who is the best now, the future, or both.
2. Always request to add a prospect to the list in order to replenish the list as the polling goes on
3. Always discuss these things. It gets boring if it's just Add: Malone for 30 posts until the next one comes out.

1. Nathan MacKinnon, C, Halifax Mooseheads (#1 overall, 2013 Draft) - Consensus #1

When did everyone stop loving Sgar? Dude was awesome for LEM as a rookie last year and only got to play on the 4th line when he got called up. I think it's a question of how long until he replaces Tanguay as our second crafty winger for MacKinnon/Duchene.

If I could vote I'd go Bigras with a slight edge over Sgarbossa ... but perhaps that is because of the recent hype of Bigras. I think Sgarbossa is set to have a very good year in Lake Erie and will get a chance at some point as a call up. Hishon got some consideration as well but I'm hoping to see him have a healthy season at this point...

 

[AvalancheFan19]

Sgarbossa. I wish Sucko played him with some talent last year, he's solid. Expecting a big year from him in the AHL next year. I think his style will translate very well to the NHL if he keeps developing. I don't know enough about Bigras to rate him over Sgarbossa but if my fellow fans think he's a better prospect that's awesome because I'm pretty high on Michael.

Yes.

Bigras, add Moffatt

Man Bigras has a bullet hype train going right now. Can't believe he's handily beating Hishon.

Eh, he'll start the season at the AHL and put up another PPG season and then when someone gets hurt he'll be called up for top 9 duty.

Hishon has a lot of question marks

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

Screw everyone, go Attiokallio go!

 

[Sheet]

I just voted sami because for some reason i didnt see birgas. I mean birgas.

On birgas hishon comment.

Both of them have the same amount of credentials when it comes to nhl play and i think weve all got a sense of doom with hishon. Birgas is safe. Hishon could never have an issue issueagain or just be one hit from finished. Either way i still see birgas as the better prospect withholding med history.

 

[Nzap]

Pickard for me

Add Meurs

That's because Hishon is so darn lazy.

No, I voted Hishon but I'm very excited about Bigras, too. I've spent a lot of time watching the vids of him lately. He's such a smart and smooth defender.

 

[S E P H]

Hishon has a lot of question marks

The point of these threads is to vote who will have the most potential in the NHL correct? No offense to Bigras, but Hishon destroys him in pure potential any day of the week.

1. Vote for who you think is the best prospect using your own criteria. It could either be who is the best now, the future, or both.

Hishon might not ever even make it to the Bigs if he can't stay healthy.

 

[henchman21]

Voted Sgarbossa, but it is really, really close between him and Bigras right here. I think the edge goes to Sgarbossa because we know what he can do at a professional level and he has 2nd line upside. If Sgarbossa bulks up a bit this summer, I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see him compete for a spot and be one of the very last cuts out of camp. Then by the end of the season starting to solidify a spot in the top 9.

Hishon would be here if health wasn't such a big concern.
