Prospect Info: 2015 Leafs Board Prospect Ranking #3

[Liminality]

It's close but I think Brown has just proven more at this point. Could change next year but so far Brown has been a very welcomed surprise.

 

[Banic]

Voted Kapanen.

 

[TimeZone]

Kapanen. Higher upside.

 

[Magic Man]

Kasperi

 

[FlareKnight]

I'm giving it to Brown. He's continued to defy expectations and prove himself every step of the way. I'll give him the third spot based on what he's done.

 

[1995]

It's close, but I don't know much about Kapanen. Chose Brown.

 

[Christ]

Lol, this is Marner vs Nylander part 2. I could have voted either Kaps or Brown.

Would have agreed with you if the Marner/Nylander vote were closer. It is almost tied at the moment. I vote Brown but it is close.

 

[HarryLime]

I fully admit I'm not an expert when it comes to Kap. Since the trade I've watched what was available and read a lot of scouting. I'm not quite as high on him as some of you guys.

 

[Celly Hard]

Kapanen. He's done similarly stats wise to nylander (smaller sample size in the AHL). Its neck in neck with Brown.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

This is a tight race between Brown and Kapanen. Tied at 44 at the time of this post. How exciting.

Like the 2015 draft, this list began at #3.

 

[JimmyPower]

It was a tough one but it came down to Bracco or Brown and I chose Brown. Bracco has so much upside though. As I said, it was tough

 

[MJ65]

Kasperi Kapanen

Look like - this is going to be a close one

 

[ATBLeafsTyler]

Kapanen: 21 P - 41 GP in SM Liiga / 2 P - 4 GP for Wilkes-Barre
Brown: 61 P - 76 GP for the Marlies

Brown has proved so much more at this time. He's gonna be sick.

TBH I don't even know why this is a competition. Brown should be #3, and Kapanen should be #4.

 

[LeafsYoungGuns]

Connor Brown for now I'd like to see what Kasperi does here first. But it's close.

 

[7even]

Don't vote with size in mind guys.

Bracco is our 3rd best prospect bar none. Brownie is so close that it kills me but it certainly is Bracco. Kapanen is 5th guys. Please don't think like Burke.

Gotta go with the Burke style bruiser that is Kasperi Kapanen.

 

[Atomos2]

Brown easily. You guys are falling victim to the shiny new prospect syndrome even though he's not all that shiny.

 

[TimeZone]

Brown easily. You guys are falling victim to the shiny new prospect syndrome even though he's not all that shiny.

He has all the tools. He's 18 years old. Had some good stats in a few games in the A. He definitely has the higher ceiling.

Thank you. Has no one seen Brown play before?

Like I said I don't even think it's a competition. Brown #3, Kapanen #4

He has all the tools. He's 18 years old. Had some good stats in a few games in the A. He definitely has the higher ceiling.

He's played four games in the A, that's it. Not even enough to see if he will transition to the North American game as we hope.

Watching Brown this year shows me that he's got a pretty damn high ceiling.

Like I said I don't even think it's a competition. Brown #3, Kapanen #4

Yeah, that must be it; anyone who voted Kapanen must be oblivious to Brown's abilities!

I watched more Marlies games, this season, than the majority of posters on this site, and I voted Kapanen. I think Brown is a very good prospect, but I don't think he has the potential that Kapanen possesses. Brown may become the better pro (it certainly wouldn't surprise me), but I'll take the prospect with the higher upside at this stage in their respective developments.

He's played 11, and has produced 7 points.

 

[Judas Tavares]

I think we should settle this then go straight to #5. Then it will get wild.

 

[ATBLeafsTyler]

He's played 11, and has produced 7 points.

Right, including playoffs. Brown is at 65 in 81 then.

I think we should settle this then go straight to #5. Then it will get wild.

Agreed. Whoever comes in 2nd on this should be placed in the #4 position instead of wasting another day on a vote.

 

[WilliamNylander]

Kapanen.

close poll

 

[ChrisCall]

Brown may very well end up on the Leafs top Line one day.
And he'll always be the hardest worker. Intangibles. and so on...
Gotta be Brown.

I have Freddy the Puzzles at #4 though, not Kapanen.
