Added - Andrey Pedan

Good to see some discrepancy, and not a blow-away winner in this round. 9 players represented with votes. That's either a good thing, or a bad thing. Tough to say.

Anyway, enjoy.

He's next on the adds, as mentioned. He certainly looks like one helluva 7th round pick.

i put him above Gaunce

 

[JA]

Where is Jakob Stukel on your list, SonicY? I would put him above Zhukenov as a prospect. They are both less than a month apart in age. I feel that Stukel's skill set translates better to the NHL than Zhukenov's. Dmitri severely lacks foot speed and comes across as lacking strength. He doesn't appear to be very effective at scoring goals either, although he is a very skilled playmaker. I think that he has great potential, but I think that Stukel had a better year, and also has more upside at this point.

Subban is the best prospect of all of the available candidates.

 

[Scholarships]

Subban

 

[Lemmiwinks]

Tough to know where to put Pedan, I still think he has potential. In any case, voted Subban again.

 

[Red]

Subban. Finished 19th overall in AHL D scoring, and 3rd in d-men scoring in his age group ('95 born).

 

[Cquant]

Pedan is better than Subban at this stage. Even if he is older.
Stecher too much of an unknown for me.

I'm looking forward to this year's batch of prospect development

 

[jimmythescot]

Subban just ahead of Stecher for me.

 

[FroshaugFan2]

Subban.

Add Zalewski.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Gotta be Subban!

 

[MS]

Subban.

Add Zalewski.

 

[GarryValkyrie]

Subban but interested in what Stecher will do this year.

 

[MS]

On Subban vs. Stecher ... it wouldn't shock me if Stecher turned into the better player, but right now Subban is a year younger and has performed and shown an ability to produce at a higher level, so has to be given the edge until we see them on the same team and have more information.

My thoughts exactly.
