The last 3 have been pretty easy, Hagg is a no brainer here IMO. After Stolarz at 6 is when I think it gets pretty interesting.

 

[Sniped]

Yeah, after Hagg and Stolarz, the poll should be more spread out and interesting.

Gonna go with an unpopular choice in Aube-Kubel. Really think this kid has the tools and would have been a first rounder if he had an increased role. Scouting reports are mixed regarding his D game, but I caught him a few times and I came away impressed by his solid two-way game. I think he's going to be one of those middle six glue guys.

I have him virtually tied with Hagg for now.

Haggzilla.

Not sure how you can go with anyone but Goulbourne here. Next Superstar.

Hagg. I can't believe that there aren't any Stollie votes though

IMHO if you really want to get away from the people doing weird voting you'll need to get rid of Ghoul, Amorosa, Goumas and Alderson as well. None of them will be in anyones top 15 or probably 20. At least Parks will make the top 20.

Disagree.

Kids a hoot to watch, good prospect for me to look forward to!

The weird voting is because everyone knows who's going to win the poll. We could have probably skipped polls 3-6 lol.

Hagg, Stolarz next.

Alderson is top 15. He is a big body winger who can skate. He fits the LA Kings mold of a bottom 6 winger.

It doesn't really matter. I just removed Parks as a joke. People can vote for whomever they want but the masses will vote for the reasonable players to make the poll worthwhile. I'd rather just keep those guys around so, I don't have to deal with people complaining about leaving a certain prospect off the list when another they didn't agree with was on the list.

I hope for Parks' sake that he just has a bad haircut in that photo, otherwise that's an aggressively receding hairline for a 22 y.o...

Yeah I got Alderson in my top 15 (#13 to be exact).

Booooooo!!!!

I think we should all take a second to appreciate the fact that robert hagg is only our fifth best prospect. That is just amazing. What did our prospect pool look like three years ago?

 

[BillDineen]

Easily Aube-Kubel. Goalies are a crap shoot and Hagg is as well.

Take Schenn, Couturier, & Read out & then add two more stiffs & Nick Cousins who was a decent back then & now to fill the holes created by those guys not being considered prospects anymore. So that's basically our prospect pool heading into the 2012 draft.

Edit: Some of those guys were moved like Kevin Marshall but again just keep the mindset of swapping him out with someone equally as terrible or even worse than him. It wasn't pretty.

 

[FlyTimmo]

Our 6th best prospect... Sestito. That was just turrible.

The Flyers 2014 prospect pool is at it's strongest since what year? 2005? - http://www.hockeysfuture.com/articles/8043/hockeys_future_fall2005_organizational_rankings115/

Could you explain? Needless to say, I don't agree.

Except this time it's a surplus of defenders instead of forwards.
