Steeler, I really like him as a bottom pair potential.

If I vote Stezka over Michalek, will Peter have a meltdown?

(Kidding, I'll never vote goalie)

Soucy, but I thought about Seeler too.

I argued against having goalies in the Top 50 Prospects articles we used to do for Hockey's Future. Other than Vasilevsky in recent years there weren't many guys we ever got right. And those who did make the list (Juuse Saros for example) are still not what they might be at their peak. And when a guy's ceiling is most likely a journeyman backup it's very tough to know where to slot him.

Nick Seeler makes Prosser look like Erik Karlsson. I just don't think you can make it in the NHL when you have that little regard for the puck.

Why not just make goalies a separate list altogether?
