[Grizz MacArthur]

As a Sens prospect junkie, I very much appreciate all your great work!

 

[SensBrawler]

Great work Lehner

I love the one random fan in the background of the Gendron pic.

 

[ZekeA]

Thank You ☺☻☺

"Lehner":

Thank you again for all the work on running this years prospects list.....................

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

I pick Widemen, Perron and McCormick as guys that will rise

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

I find it interesting that the first guy who slid DOWN the rankings was Sdao.

 

[Xspyrit]

Thanks for all the polls Lehner, keeps hockey alive in the summer

Pool is not as great a in the last few years, but still a very solid top-20, quite underrated IMO. Will produce another 10 NHL players

My breakout prospects this year : Robbie Baillargeon and Nick Paul. Wikstrand will also show that we underrate him. Lindberg will also move up. Dzingel will prove he is legit

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Haha, Silfverberg was #1 in 2012. Oh HF Sens, you so silly.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Thanks for all the polls Lehner, keeps hockey alive in the summer

My breakout prospects this year : Robbie Baillargeon and Nick Paul. Wikstrand will also show that we underrate him. Lindberg will also move up. Dzingel will prove he is legit

I gotta agree with most of that. This is still a nice list of 30 with lots of guys who will be NHLers. The top 4 in particular is really solid and pretty diverse. Pageau is definitely a player, just dunno if he'll be a bottom 6 guy or top 6.

The guys I see being big risers this season are Summers (top 15) and Hogberg (top 5). I can definitely fathom Dzingel being in the top 5 by the end of the AHL season.

[Grizz MacArthur]

Here's my list going into the season:

1. Curtis Lazar (C)
2. Cody Ceci (D)
3. Mark Stone (RW)
4. Matt Puempel (LW)
5. Mikael Wikstrand (D)

[operasen]

Hard to keep the interest after 15-20 wasn't it. Nice job, very persistent.

 

[Xspyrit]

Here's my top-27 (because I think the prospects remaining after are irrelevant)

1. Curtis Lazar (C/RW)
2. Cody Ceci (D)
3. Mark Stone (RW)
4. Matt Puempel (LW)
5. Mikael Wikstrand (D)
6. Ryan Dzingel (C)
7. Fredrik Claesson (D)
8. Shane Prince (LW)
9. Alex Guptill (LW)
10. Jean-Gabriel Pageau (C)
11. Andreas Englund (D)
12. Nick Paul (C)
13. Marcus Hogberg (G)
14. Chris Driedger (G)
15. Cole Schneider (LW)
16. Vincent Dunn (LW)
17. Robert Baillargeon (C)
18. Tobias Lindberg (C/RW)
19. Max McCormick (LW)
20. Ben Harpur (D)
21. Miles Gendron (D)
22. Chris Wideman (D)
23. Buddy Robinson (RW)
24. Shane Eiserman (LW)
25. Francis Perron (C/LW)
26. Quentin Shore (C)
27. Kelly Summers (D)

I gotta agree with most of that. This is still a nice list of 30 with lots of guys who will be NHLers. The top 4 in particular is really solid and pretty diverse. Pageau is definitely a player, just dunno if he'll be a bottom 6 guy or top 6.

The guys I see being big risers this season are Summers (top 15) and Hogberg (top 5). I can definitely fathom Dzingel being in the top 5 by the end of the AHL season.

I usually trust most of your takes on prospects so I'm getting higher on Hogberg, I could definitely see him "break out" this season. Seems like a very good athletic specimen, chances are on his side.

Summers I have no idea... not enough viewings, readings, info. I like to see the draft+1 year to make a better judgment.

Locks to be NHLers IMO :

Curtis Lazar
Cody Ceci
Mark Stone
Matt Puempel
Fredrik Claesson
Jean-Gabriel Pageau
Shane Prince
Nick Paul (I know it's early but I see this game progressing a lot, like it did in the last 6 months. Kid is just starting to get comfortable in his man body)

Very likely but potential hard to gauge (could still bust) :

Mikael Wikstrand
Ryan Dzingel
Alex Guptill
Andreas Englund

Very likely but probably as depth players :

Chris Driedger : Journeymen G
Cole Schneider : Journeymen D
Chris Wideman : Journeymen D

At least 15 of the current prospects will get their cup-of-coffee in the NHL and 10 will be NHL regular players

That's my prediction

 

[Benjamin]

Pretty much everyone has the exact same top 4.

 

[Sun God Nika]

My Top 15

Tier 1
1. Ceci
2. Lazar
3. Puempel
-------------------------------
Tier 2
4. Stone
5. Englund
6. Wikstrand
7. Dzingel
----------------------------------------
Tier 3
8. Lindberg
9 Pageau
10. Claesson
11. Dreger
12. Hogberg
13. Guptill
14. Nick Paul
