Thank you to all that have participated thus far. We are currently halfway through the list as I am going to do the top 20 prospects. From now and on I may end a poll rather quickly if I feel the poll has reached a consensus for that spot. If it is close, it will most likely remain 1 day long intervals in between polls.

Thanks for doing these polls. I voted for Alt.

 

[The Rage Kage]

Definitely alt here, lol at the goulbourne vote

Nick Cousins has fallen pretty far eh?

Nick Cousins has fallen pretty far eh?

He had pretty average at best year but did finish on a strong note & was added to the black aces for the playoffs. Hopefully a bounce back year is in store for him & a lot of other guys down there with legit talent on the way.

I still got him #10 on my personal rankings but I had Alt ahead of him so he was my pick here.

Nick Cousins has fallen pretty far eh?

There was always concern about his offense transitioning well to the pro ranks. He was only higher in previous rankings because our prospect pool really sucked haha.

 

[Stizzle]

I voted Alt.

Johnston, Noebels, Lamarche, Manning, Konan, Mathers should be added. IMO, Goumas should be subtracted.

I voted for Cousins. I think at the very worst he will be a really good 4th liner. I think he has a lightly better shot than Alt at making an NHL impact.

It's nice to finally have a bunch of good prospects to hopefully rely on in the next 2-5 years!

 

[Striiker]

Looks like this'll end up Alt, but I'd definitely have Lindblom next.

 

[dats81]

I voted Alt.

Johnston, Noebels, Lamarche, Manning, Konan, Mathers should be added. IMO, Goumas should be subtracted.

Noebels should definitely be on the poll now. And Goumas is better than 3 of the other 5 prospects you mentioned, at least in my books, no need to scratch him.

 

[Random Forest]

Alt should go here. He actually has solid upside. I'd say more than Leier. I'd have Cousins over Leier as well.

Friedman and Cousins should go next, imo.

 

[Stizzle]

Noebels should definitely be on the poll now. And Goumas is better than 3 of the other 5 prospects you mentioned, at least in my books, no need to scratch him.

My point was that Goumas isn't Flyers property. All of those other guys are. Goumas can sign an NHL deal with any team he wants at any time.

 

[Jack Straw]

Voted for Alt. Again.

I guess I understand, I just remember people penciling him into the lineup a few times over the last year or two.

Alt.

 

[lancer247]

I had Alt over Leier.

 

[The Couturier Effect]

Alt. Thinking Friedman next. Really like that pick.

 

[jd2210]

Alt for sure. Cousins hasn't fallen as much as he has been passed.

 

[46zone]

Alt for sure. Cousins hasn't fallen as much as he has been passed.

Pretty much this. There have been full drafts since Cousins was selected as a 3rd round pick in '11, it's not surprising he's dropped a bit in the rankings due to the influx of recent higher picks.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

went with Alt as well. Did not see him play but I really like what I read about the reviews of him last season in ADK. Have hopes that he can get some games in this season on the 3rd pair.

 

[NHLPaul]

Obviously Goulbourne isn't #10 but don't knock him too much. He could very well make a good 3rd/4th liner. Very good energy guy with a hard shot. Had a great development camp (take it for what it's worth). Don't agree with taking him in rd 3 but don't think it's as big a waste as people seem to believe.

For this pick, alt. But Lindblom and Petterson are close for me.

 

[FlyersFan61290]

I voted Alt.

Johnston, Noebels, Lamarche, Manning, Konan, Mathers should be added. IMO, Goumas should be subtracted.

Manning wasn't re-signed.

Alt here, Cousins next.

 

[Broad Street Elite]

Alt for sure. Cousins hasn't fallen as much as he has been passed.

It's been a little of both. The knock was always that his offense wouldn't translate at the next level and for the majority of the season, it didn't. That said, it was a Terry Murray coached team (emphasis on D at the expense of offense) and he did come on late. Too early to write him off, but this is a pretty significant year for Cousins. He needs to show an improved offensive game or he's going to likely freefall off this list given his other limitations.
