Likely will be between Vesey and Buch.
This one is tough, but I'm going by only NEXT season, not full potential since this isn't a prospect poll.
Vesey will IMO have the better season so he's getting my vote this round.
Lindberg, since he's actually played an NHL game.
So Glass should go before Buch and Vesey with that logic.
Buch will most likely be better than Oscar - he might also be better than Miller and Kreider.
Maybe, but not this year.
There should be a standard on what we mean by the best player. Is it the best player today or the most value in a trade? Grabner is likely to be better than Butcher this season, but has nowhere near the trade value. This causes confusion since people are ranking guys based on different standards.
I went with Pavel, but had a lot of trouble determining how to choose. Should I base it on potential or past play? While guys like Lindberg & Fast have played, we certainly know that they don't have ceilings as high as Buch or Vesey. In short, I understand a vote for Buch or Vesey based on potential, but I also understand not voting for them because they have not even played an NHL game yet.
tough one between grabner, buch, lindberg, and vesey.
went buch strictly on skill level, though my brain is telling me Grabner.
