Injury history is becoming worrisome.

 

[hohosaregood]

This is a pretty solid top 10.

 

[PacificOceanPotion]

Haltunnen for me

 

[Barrie22]

Haltunnen for me

He has been mine for the past 2 votes, maybe 3rd time is the charm

More importantly, I think MG and his staff clearly see Haltunnen in their top 10.

 

[Levie]

Havelis is criminally underrated

 

[Barrie22]

Havelis is criminally underrated

Its hard as his stats are pretty low even for the SHL, and he has never been asked to play at the world jr's, so even Sweden does not see him as a top defensemen.

 

[ThePlanet]

It looks like I'll still be voting Chrona in round 28.

 

[DG93]

Havelid

 

[Hodge]

Its hard as his stats are pretty low even for the SHL, and he has never been asked to play at the world jr's, so even Sweden does not see him as a top defensemen.

Havelid's stats are not low for the SHL. He had a higher points per game rate in his D+1 season than Erik Karlsson did in the same league at the same age. And the only reason he didn't play in the World Juniors was due to injury.

The real issue is that he's a 5'10" defenseman.

 

[PacificOceanPotion]

It looks like I'll still be voting Chrona in round 28.

I think Chrona will be our future #1 goalie

 

[seroes]

Been voting For Havelid for the last couple of rounds. But I think it's a pretty steep drop in quality after this. It's still a much deeper pool than even last year. Grier has done a nice job restocking the cupboard in the last year.

 

[mogambomoroo]

Havelis is criminally underrated

Yep, I've voted him since like #6 prospect haha. I have high hopes for him

 

[Patty Ice]

But I think it's a pretty steep drop in quality after this

That's not true at all. Still have Robins, Halttunen, and Cagnoni that have quality potential along with a few others not too far behind. Obviously not all are going to hit but there is some serious depth in the pool now.

 

[PacificOceanPotion]

I don’t agree there’s a steep talent drop off. Quite the contrary. It’s been hard to do these polls because for me personally I could probably have voted at least 4 or 5 guys from the last 4 or 5 polls. Chrona, Laroque,Haltunnen, Robins, Cagnoni, Havelid, all have the potential to be boom or bust core pieces for future teams.

 

[seroes]

That's not true at all. Still have Robins, Halttunen, and Cagnoni that have quality potential along with a few others not too far behind. Obviously not all are going to hit but there is some serious depth in the pool now.

I dont think any of those will hit personally. But there is still some time for me to be wrong. But I agree with the overall point. This pool is deeper and better than it had been in a long time.

 

[Lebanezer]

It is not a stretch to think Havelid and Cagnoni have the same likelihood of hitting.

 

[Painful Quandary]

Sasha could be a bottom-6er on this team, so I went with him.

 

[Sendhelplease]

I went with Havelid because I think he has the highest likelihood of the players remaining of being a top6/top4 caliber player. I think Kasper Halttunen is next and you could convince me that he is ahead of Havelid. Halttunen seems less likely to reach the top 6 but because of his size I could easily see him being a solid bottom 6 option for the team while most of the other players seem top 6 or bust or not having top 6 upside.
