Prospect Info: HFCF Prospect Poll #20

[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

[Wayne Primeau]

Your last link is broken, AS.

I'mma go with Hathaway.

 

[Lunatik]

The incredible Culk

 

[Johnny GODreau]

Culkinator

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Culkin at 20, Kanzig, Rafikov, Elson, Hathaway, Carroll and Kulak still on the board. so much depth

 

[InfinityIggy]

Culkin again. After this I think it gets a lot more difficult.

 

[SaintMorose]

Hathaway for me.

 

[Lunatik]

Culkin again. After this I think it gets a lot more difficult.

for me Kanzig is next. People like to put him down but with his physical tools and the way he uses his stick he has more potential than peopel care to admit.

Was thinking Kanzig next as well.

 

[Johnny GODreau]

How about Master Bruce?

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Kulak, Kanzig and then Carroll for me next

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I'm not sure about my next pick, I'm either going with KK or Mangiapane. I might listen to arguments on both before making my decision.

 

[Taranis]

I think Brett Kulak will be next for me.

 

[Lunatik]

How about Master Bruce?

Honestly, Riley Bruce is probably the worst prospects in our organization, I've never heard anything good about him besides he's big. Needs to improve skating, his offensive game is about as present as my love life and he's below average defensively

I'm going Mangiapane. Hard to ignore a top 10 scorer in the OHL at this point in the ranking.

 

[Lunatik]

I'm going Mangiapane. Hard to ignore a top 10 scorer in the OHL at this point in the ranking.

Who re-entered the draft and was still 3rd on his team in scoring. The CHL has a long history of small high scoring players who did nothing as professionals. There is a good reason Mangiapane went I drafted in 2014 and didn't go until the 6th round in 2015. Mangiapane finishing top 10 in OHL scoring is akin to Brendan Shinnimin being 5th in WHL scoring at the same age.

There is absolutely no reason to put him behind Karnaukhov IMO since just a couple of months ago the Flames felt Karnaukhov was the better player. And at least Pavel has some size.and is more than a year younger.

Kanzig, Kulak, Sieloff and Rafikov all have to finish ahead of Mangiapane IMO and it's not even a difficult choice.

Sounds like Kanzig

It was a joke.. (Shoulda used a ) But yeah he's a longshot to make the NHL. Arguable top 5 nickname though.

Bruce Badder?

 

[Flames Fanatic]

I like that we managed to get to 20 before HF released their list. Means we get a nice comparison.

 

[Johnny GODreau]

Means less bias as well.

 

[Calculon]

Kulak, Karnaukhov, Ollas-Mattsson, Hathaway, Rafikov, Mangiapane, Sieloff, Kanzig, Carroll, and Elson round out 21 to 30 for me.
