Gus until it happens.
Shame. Shame. Shame.

Shame. Shame. Shame.

OMG it's happening! It's happening!

Gustafsson is an easy choice here. Kovacevic is intriguing as well but at 22 there is very little wiggle room for him. If he isn’t a pretty good player right away there is no longer enough time for him to keep developing and become one.

He'll win here. 1 spot lower than where he belongs IMO. I can see the arguments for 2 spots higher, I just don’t agree with them.

He is 22 - not 32. Or not even 24 like Poolman and Tanev were. Even at that, Tanev seemed to manage to improve. We're not sure about Poolman yet.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

I hope you are all right about Gus.

 

[surixon]

Gus once again

I have him 2 spots higher...

Tiers IMO:
Gustafsson

Kovacevic
Chisholm
Berdin

Gawanke <- Really like his brain and puck skills, but his skating is a really really big question mark.
Vallati
Stanley
Spacek

Slam dunk for Gus for me now. Kovacevic would be next. Add Suess.

Suess is too old for this ranking I realized.

Suess is too old for this ranking I realized.

I was wondering about that actually.

I was wondering about that actually.

I believe HF criteria is once they turn 25 or play 65 nhl games or 45 games for a goalie.

I believe so as well. Didn’t realize Suess was 25.

 

[Gil Fisher]

I hope you are all right about Gus.

Narrator: They weren't.

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Gustafsson, again.

Add Lundmark.

 

[Gil Fisher]

It's weird that last year's underwhelming 2nd rounder is so highly thought of while this year's underwhelming 2nd rounder doesn't even bear meantion as a possible candidate.

 

[Gil Fisher]

Add Harkins.

Please don't.

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Yeah, I’ll fully admit that I forgot about Lundmark.

 

[voyageur]

I'm the lone wolf who voted for Mc Kenzie. I realize that Kovacevic is probably next. Mc Kenzie is in my top 10 for sure. Like I said earlier, so much semblance to Gallagher, another Edmonton native. Add Lundmark.

 

[Channelcat]

Slam dunk for Gus for me now. Kovacevic would be next. Add Suess.

Agreed. After Kovacevic we are looking at extreme long shots imho however.

What is so underwhelming about him? He produced quite well for a 18 year old in a mens league. He also has a very polished defensive game. Seems like a solid young player to me that is developing just fine.

I think his ceiling is pretty low compared to some of the guys still left. Not that they all have high ceilings either at this point but I dont see Gus as being any better than a 3rd liner. And even that is still a long shot.

 

[Nickel eye Heel hers]

attempt #5 ? Voted Gus again

 

[snowkiddin]

I agree. I like those three junior D (Chisholm, Gawanke and Vallati, but they do have a ways to go, if they ever make it.
