Spring 2016 Prospect Poll: #3

[Ruckus007]

All prospects who fit the HF prospect critera are included.

ELIGIBILITY
-In his Age-24 season with fewer than 65 games for a skater (or 45 games for a goalie).

-If signed out of Europe or the NCAA at age 22 or older, fewer than 65 (skaters) or 45 (goalies) games within three years of signing.

RULES
Each poll runs 24 hours and is public. Vote for your choice and nominate a prospect from the list below to replace that player on the subsequent poll.

If there is a tie in the Top 10, there will be a run-off and the losing prospect will be returned to the pool for the next vote. Outside the Top 10, the tie will hold, the two highest Adds will be added and we'll move on.

PROSPECT RANKINGS
In the past, we've also done skater-only and goalie-only threads, as well as aggregate-type of rankings. If someone is interested, they are welcome to inherit that responsibility.

[Jame]

Guhle, Add Catenacci

(I've updated my rankings... Catenacci has moved up)

 

[Weaves]

Guhle, add Giorgio

 

[FearTheBeard]

Guhle, add Estephan (dont know how I missed him last poll)

 

[Chainshot]

Guhle, add Olofsson.

 

[Husko]

Add Florentino (who actually, I now see, I should've added before Cornell)

 

[Jame]

Guhle, add Olofsson.

doh... i thought olofsson was added during the last poll.

Hard to keep track of the next add when half of the current poll options arent even in my top 10. Carrier, Cornel, Karabacek, Martin, Ruhwedel

 

[Paxon]

Guhle, Olofsson

I have a few guys who are all pretty close together for the adds including Estephan, Cat, and Olofsson. Consider it early campaigning. MODO is a terrible team, but Viktor continues to finish and they seem mostly to be NHL area goals -- not a lot of outside stuff, plenty of things in the low slot and crease.

 

[stokes84]

Borgen add oloffson

Love me some cal. We have goalie options in spades.

Guhle.

Add Schaller. While his ceiling is limited (and thus is not a sexy pick), he's pretty much a given to be on the roster next year as a 4th line center or spare forward. About as close to a sure thing as we have in the pipeline.

 

[Jim Bob]

Ullmark + Cornel

I think Schaller is graduated from this poll

 

[NotABadPeriod]

I think Schaller is graduated from this poll

He's still listed as eligible to be added.

 

[Chainshot]

If it's 24 and under, Schaller turned 25 in November so he would not be eligible.

 

[dire wolf]

Guhle + Florentino

 

[dire wolf]

Ullmark + Cornel

Cornel was added last round

Signed ELC at age 22 on 3/30/2013 so he's eligible for 3 more weeks! Ruhwedel's in the same category (signed on 4/13/2013).

There's always a couple who are on the edge of eligibility. IMO, both the HF criteria and any subjective criteria should rate Schaller as a prospect at this point still. Heck, he might slip into the bottom of my top 10 depending how it shakes out. I think the one thing that consistently happens in these polls is that the Schaller-like prospects get way too underrated. He was 20th on the summer poll. I'm willing to bet at least 5 players who came in above him never have the pro career Schaller has/will.

/rant.

No worries. I appreciate the work you put in on this and was not trying to criticize. If he's there, he's now in the "need to be added" cluster for me. He's going to be a checking tweener who might break through to the 4th line role next year. I like his pro game for the role very much.

 

[Ralonzo]

Attempt 2, add Schaller (providing the eligibility thing is settle)

 

[ottawah]

Add Estephan

 

[ZemgusWho]

I'm down on him for sure right now, but I still think my gut says Baptiste.
+ Florentino (who I have above some of the folks in our current poll).
