I guess I'm going with Polin here, although I could just as easily have voted for Jedlicka. It's just a guessing game at this point in the polls, vote with your gut on who you have a good feeling about.

Add Zhigalov, he's the only one left to be added that I have a hunch might be something.

Buyalski… size and can skate. It was starting to click last season, maybe that continues. If it does, he has some calling cards that can get him noticed.

 

[Perratrooper]

Going Fairbrother as I could see him getting a handful of games as a face puncher/tough guy.

I really feel like Beaucage has been forgotten by many here. I'm not saying he's going to amount to anything by any means, but the guy has an NHL quality shot, which is more credentials than half the people in the top 10 can say. fixing a guy's skating is way more likely than like, Ambrosio overcoming his size.

If his skating was going to be fixed, it would have happened by now. He's four seasons out from his draft year, and he still isn't even an impact player in the AHL. I was excited about the pick at first but he just hasn't gotten any better. Hench was right as usual.

His skating is fine, it’s been noticeably improved. Beaucage’s problem is he’s going into his third year pro and still in the AHL. But that’s more than most of these guys can say. Cronin actually liked him, which is a shame now.

His skating really isn’t fine… it’s terrible

Jedlicka, add Zhigalov.

You are both right, it's improved and still terrible. But I still think he's got a better NHL chance than clear AHL fodder like Ambrosio.
