Hall. Highest drafted prospect still on the board and has slipped only because of injury, not poor play when he's been in the line up. Hopefully he can take a big step this year.

Going with Prow just for the hell of it.

Can I keep voting Di Pauli?

Hall's going to have to show me a LOT of improvement in his offensive game/puck moving game before I'll be convinced he's got a shot at being anything more than a Clark Seymour/Reid McNeil.

I voted for him anyway because at this point I'm just going on faith with the Penguins scouting staff. But this season is going to be very telling for me.

I'm going with Da Drozg because I think most of those guys are long shots and he's got the highest potential out of those who are long shots. Boom or bust baby.

Hahaha! Me too!

I think I have voted for him like the last 10 polls. I really don't know ho to vote for now? Lol!

What's crazy is that, even still, there are a few players left that have a decent shot at making it. We are so much deeper than a few years ago.

I really love our strategy of drafting heavily in the NCAA ranks. I feel like that's a perfect strategy for our team. It gives us prospects that make the league later, but are cost controlled and more mature physically than the major junior kids. Not to mention how many late bloomers ands hidden gems we've found.

No Sean Maguire?

No Sean Maguire?

Geez! You are right. I think he has slipped everyone mind due Tom inactivity and other goalie prospects.
