Prospect Info: HFCF Prospect Poll: #17

[Anglesmith]

We did this last summer, lets do it again.

I am going to start with some guidelines.

To be considered a prospect in these polls they must be under 26 (as of July 1st, 2015) and have fewer than 80 games of NHL experience (including playoffs).

I will set polls to expire in 48 hours. After 48 hours a winner shall be declared unless the winner has less than a 10 vote lead. At which point there will be a 24-hour poll that pits against each other anyone within 5 votes of the leader. There will not be multiple runoff-polls so a win by 1 in a run-off poll will be final. After a winner is declared the next poll will be put up at my earliest convenience.

The current plan is vote on all 37 eligible prospects, but if participation dissipates it may stop sooner.

List of eligible prospects:
Agostino, Ken
Andersson, Rasmus
Arnold, Bill
Bennett, Sam
Bruce, Rily
Carroll, Austin

Cullen had a really successful season. I'm surprised he hasn't been picked yet.

Matt Cullen? He has. Pens signed him a while ago.

Edit: Just realized what thread this was. Assuming you mean Culkin. Yes. He'll likely be picked soon.

 

[Johnny GODreau]

Spoon.

I'm going to go way off the board and pick Hathaway.
I really think he should have made the team last year out of camp over a guy like Bollig.

He didn't have a contract last year and hadn't shown he was ready to even be a pro at that point. Saying he deserved to be on the team before Bollig is absolutely ridiculous.

 

[Wayne Primeau]

I dreamed last night that we traded Culkin for Hornqvist or some other reason.

Along with Raymond?

 

[Yung Rotini]

Spoon clearly has this.

 

[Wayne Primeau]

Along with Raymond?

Ooh, good idea!

It was training-camp only impressions from both so I get that the team wanted more time to see him play/earn his spot in pro hockey.

But just watching the 2 of them playing in camp one skated harder and brought the puck to the net much more than the other. Wasn't surprised to see him nearly crack 20 goals in the AHL where as the other never put up half that scoring pace from 23-26.

I really don't think it would be ridiculous now with hindsight to say that Hathaway was the better hockey player last season and could have brought more to that spot.
