Added - Brett McKenzie

LaPlante, Sautner and Abols are the only adds remaining that I can think of. For the gentleman who suggested Grenier - he is no longer eligible for a prospect poll, per HF's rules pertaining to age.

Voted Zalewski as I think he's actually going to play in the NHL unlike the rest.

 

[Braeden]

Is Borna Rendulic voting for himself? I noticed he gets tossed a vote or 2.

 

[Bitz and Bites]

Zalewski should be the obvious choice here after coming off a very good AHL season and looking close to NHL ready even if he only tops out as a 4th liner.

The rest are a long way away from that except maybe Rendulic.

Zhukenov, Carcone, Jasek, all have significantly higher upside. That may be the difference in opinion.

Me personally I'd value a 8% chance of PPG player higher than a 70% chance of a 4th line energy player this late in the game.

Jasek especially intrigues me...

 

[NoShowWilly]

really curious what is intriguing about Jasek at this point?

 

[FroshaugFan2]

Same. Zhukenov as well.

 

[Grape]

Made an account just to ask why Carl Neill isn't even being considered... he's in my top 15 easily

probably because we forgot about him entirely.

 

[Jimson Hogarth*]

Carcone then Zalewski

Don't know why so many are overlooking Carcone and his numbers.

 

[ChilliBilly]

But but but jakob Stukel is better than Virts! i know, because i saw it on HF earlier.

 

[GarryValkyrie]

Like what Z brings but Jasek I hope has more long term.
