[Warden of the North]

Nilsson

 

[dominicmoore19]

After watching footage from the prospect camp, I'd say Toninato.

 

[Bernier the Boats]

Verhaeghe.

 

[tp71]

No love for Garret Sparks yet?

 

[QMJHLfollower]

David Broll, then Brad Ross.

Add Ryan Rupert.

 

[DD03]

Dominic Toninato

Kid's a beauty. Then maybe Verhaeghe. Most of the other guys translate to 3rd and 4th liners.

 

[Renegade]

Toninato!

 

[TootooTrain]

Dominic Toninato

Him and Cameranesi. I think they're a bit underrated just because of the lack of NCAA exposure.

 

[67Cup]

I meant to vote for Toninato but the buttons are close together on an IPad. I inadvertently voted for Cameranesi. But those are the two best prospects left at this stage of the exercise, IMO. Toninato was very productive in the USJHl, and looks bigger than last year at the prospects camp. He still looks as if can add weight to his frame, however.

Cameranesi appears to be one of the three best skaters at the camp. The other two are Rielly an d Loov, IMO.

 

[Drew311]

These Verhaeghe votes need to stop. Just because he popped a couple of goals yesterday in the scrimmage doesn't mean he automatically cracks the top 15.

 

[Hurt]

Voted Ross. Still see him as Marchand-lite.

 

[Terrence]

Ross.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Anyone else notice Holzer isn't even listed here?

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Anyone else notice Holzer isn't even listed here?

too old (think 24 is the cut off) to be considered a prospect anymore.... My vote is for Nilsson....again..

 

[Mikeyg]

Brad ross? is that actually serious? god the marlies players get so much undeserved credit around here.... brad ross wont amount to anything more then a 4th liner in the nhl and he gets ranked higher then brown?

 

[McMatthews]

There are 6-7 options on the board that are better prospects than McKegg.

McKegg is my least favourite prospect since John Doherty.

 

[ChrisCall]

Just because Dallas Eakins was a total ****** to Ross last year, doesn't mean he won't turn into something useful. Let us see what he amounts to when he's given more than 5 minutes of ice time every 2 weeks and actually encouraged to be physical this year (what i hope the new coach will do).

... but, i'd have Brown higher too. haha. For sure.

he is talented enough, I for one wouldnt base his ranking off of just a prospect camp, but his last year in the ohl.

 

[67Cup]

Just because Dallas Eakins was a total ****** to Ross last year, doesn't mean he won't turn into something useful. Let us see what he amounts to when he's given more than 5 minutes of ice time every 2 weeks and actually encouraged to be physical this year (what i hope the new coach will do).

All that may be true... we'll see. But in this exercise what the prospects actually do or have done is probably a better predictor than what we hope they will do. I hope Ross will do better with a different coach and a year's pro experience under his belt but what can be said so far is that he was unable to earn a role as a regular, even on the bottom six, in the AHL. That makes this a little too high a position in this exercise, IMO.

By the way, Ross seems to be alternating between good and mediocre years so far.

17-18 Draft year: good
18-19: Mediocre, little progression in production despite playing with excellent teammates and some discipline problems
19-20 : very productive and effective final year of junior on a strong team
20-21: mostly in the press box or on the bench for his first pro year

If this really is a pattern and not an interesting fluke, we might expect a much better year this season.

 

[Anth93]

Our 2nd best prospect is ranked 7th.

Can we redo this?

not sure how that happened.

 

[BigWilly]

Our 2nd best prospect is ranked 7th.

Was about to say this..

 

[zeke]

I don't hate these rankings so far, but there are two prospects who are getting very overrated - Biggs and Blacker.

IMO, neither belong in our top-10 anymore.

Ashton and McKegg belong in the top-10 instead of them.

Leivo should be moved up as well. At least top-5, but probably top-3.

 

[Sergei Berezin]

this is why I hate doing these rankings after the development camp.

The only guys who really try at these things are the guys on invites and some of the newly drafted players.

The rest of them are pissed because they have to attend this no-deal 3 day camp where everyone is making judgements on them before they've really gotten into summer training.


You people are making all these pass-offs on these players based on this 2-day scrimmage.

Wait until the prospects camp where they're playing against people who aren't their teammates, and after they've done their training and are ready for the season. That's when you'll see guys like Biggs actually trying because THAT is where you get your invite to the big camp.

I like Leivo as much as the next guy but most of you are overrating him because he played well in that nothing scrimmage.
