Vote and offer an add for the next round.

Never done this before, so hopefully I don't mess it up too bad.

I don't see a poll, brother.

 

[Frk It]

Filip Hronek is #1 for me. Think his ceiling could be something similar to Justin Faulk.

My add is Chase Pearson

I don't see a poll, brother.

That's a lot of names to type!

 

[Shaman464]

Svech for me. He has the best ceiling of any prospect.

 

[TheMule93]

I agree with the general Svech > Hronek > Bertuzzi trend so far

 

[Martinez]

I voted for Hronek about 8 polls in a row last time we did this but right now it's still svechnikov. He's the most talented prospect we have.

 

[Dotter]

Dennis Cholowski doesn't get much love around here, does he?

 

[jolly roger]

Coreau has done more than any of them.
Just shut out Cary Price and the Montreal Canadiens.

And you're voting for who???

Cholo has 1 goal in 22 games and is -7 while playing in college.
How would he fit this bill?

 

[lidstromiscool]

Honestly, Thats a pretty ugly top prospects list for a 'rebuilding' team. I know a few guys just graduated but man

 

[Electric Eric]

Went Svechnikov, Hronek is more than likely next for me.

Svech is transitioning nicely to Pro hockey and some bite to his game.

Add Sadowy.

 

[Rzombo4 prez]

Svech. I like to start with our best prospect in pro hockey.

Sadly, this is a really ugly group of prospects

 

[SoupNazi]

Svech.

Not an attractive looking group right now, but I suppose that's partially due to the graduation of AA and Mantha.

 

[Wood Stick]

You do realize Justin Faulk is a number one defenseman, right?

Svech.

Pretty much this. Don't see any coming up next year so this group should stick would the addition of a top ten pick.

 

[iDangleDangle]

Not much to get excited about in the current prospect pool

Svech
Hronek
Lil Bert

Whole lotta "don't care"

 

[Go Wings]

Dennis Cholowski doesn't get much love around here, does he?

What has he done to deserve it?

 

[Go Wings]

Svech AINEC

 

[drwings40]

Svechnikov

Pearson is my add.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Prospect pool always thins out when you graduate a bunch of players at once. Mantha, AA, Larkin, XO, Sproul all on the team now. Hronek/Cholo just drafted 6 months ago. Still lots to like in our pool imo.

What has he done to deserve it?

What has he done to not deserve it?

 

[Claypool]

What has he done to not deserve it?

I can only assume 99% of the folks here never watched him play and just look at his stats on hockeydb.

 

[muchbetterthanlada]

how about Nosek?

 

[Frk It]

You do realize Justin Faulk is a number one defenseman, right?

Yes. Ceiling = if everything goes right.... Also said "something similar to"...

I mean I'd hope who I considered to be our #1 prospect had a good ceiling? Doesn't mean they'll reach it.

 

[burrythebiscuit*]

Went with Svech. Dude has elite upside and an already elite shot. My add is Turgeon

 

[izlez]

I don't get to watch these players actually play outside of a game or 2 in the world juniors, so I'm curious as to why people like Hronek in the 1/2 spot so much with no mention of Saarijarvi. Their size/age/draft status/chl production/style of play all seems pretty similar from what I know

Hronek is much more physical now and less likely to be physically outmatched against forwards when both are done developing IMO.

I think they have a similar offensive ceiling but I think for the reasons above Hronek has a better shot at being a more complete and better all-around player. I'd say he projects as a guy who can play in more situations than Saarijarvi most likely.

Dennis Cholowski doesn't get much love around here, does he?

I don't see him as that great of a prospect to be honest. Going into the draft last year he was projected as a mid 2nd round pick, and that's where he should have been taken. It was a bad move to take him in my opinion. Should have taken a forward. I know our D prospect cupboard is thin, but you can't make that much of a reach. BPA should have been the strategy there, which would have been a forward (Gauthier/Jones/Steel/Debrincat).

His numbers are just "meh". I know he's young, and has lots of time to develop. Detroit is always incredibly patient, so who knows, in 3 years maybe this pick will pay off, but as of now I don't really see too much potential. I easily prefer Hronek.
