Prospect Info: 2015 Leafs Board Prospect Ranking to Make a Return This Weekend as per Mods.

[firstemperor]

Bracco is way too high on most lists IMHO.

My top 5:

1) Marner
2) Nylander
3) Brown- very high on him and he's done nothing but prove himself more time and time again.
4) Dermott- high on him as well.
5) Kapanen

 

[Leafs at Knight]

1) Marner
2) Nylander
3) Kapanen
4) Brown
5) Percy

 

[Looney Toonies]

IMO after the top two its very interchangable. But as far as I'm concerned...

1)Marner
2)Nylander
3)Brown
4)Kapanen
5)Percy

HM-GOAT, Loov, Dermott, Bracco, Harrington.

 

[RoadWarrior]

The top 20 prospects are:

1) Marner
2) Nylander
3) Kapanen
4) C. Brown
5) Dermott
6) Bracco
7) Harrington
8) A. Johnson
9) Leipsic
10) Loov
11) Percy
12) Valiev
13) Bailey
14) Shoshnikov
15) Leivo
16) Gauthier
17) Bibeau
18) Korostelev
19) Hymen
20) Timashov

That's a great list for the top 20. Most of these kids outside of Marner/Nylander will bust but not all of them. In terms of prospect depth it's outstanding. Verhaghe and Granberg aren't even on this list anymore!

 

[Cor]

Marner
Nylander
Kapanen
Bracco
Brown
Dermott
Percy
Johnson
Harrington
Gauthier
Leipsic
Loov

 

[Stigma]

I can't speak for others, but I have Bracco so high because he broke Patty Kane's assist record for the USA national Development Team. His overall numbers were also right there with Kane and Kessel too. That's a pretty amazing feat given how many good players did not produce such numbers in that league.
His offensive gifts are elite, but needs to work on his defensive game - which is pretty much the case for all of these type of players.

The real knock against him is his size, but what has me not too worried about that is his confidence. It's often mind over matter. If you think you're a beast and play like one, it won't hold you back as much. (to a certain extent, of course)

 

[Lauro]

Gauthier is pretty low on most of your lists.

 

[Stigma]

Gauthier is pretty low on most of your lists.

I had him at 8. I think he will be a top-notch 3rd or 4th centre. His defensive game will be elite, as will his face-off skills. I can't put him higher than that because I've reserved those spots for guys I think have first line potential or elite two-way potential. I don't know if Gauthier's offensive instincts and foot speed will allow him to reach that level, but I may be wrong.

 

[Kelly]

Marner
Nylander
Brown
Percy
Kapanen
Dermott
Gauthier
Bracco
Leipisic
Harrington

 

[MJ65]

- Kapanen
- Brown
- Bracco
- Percy
- Harrington
- Leipsic
- Gauthier

 

[Anth93]

Where's Andreas?

Guys he's as talented as the big three. Don't write him off just because he's still in Sweden.

 

[CalgaryLeaf*]

Looks like 98.9% of you have given up on Carter Verhaeghe...We'll see about that.

 

[AuraSphere]

The top 20 prospects are:

1) Marner
2) Nylander
3) Kapanen
4) C. Brown
5) Dermott
6) Bracco
7) Harrington
8) A. Johnson
9) Leipsic
10) Loov
11) Percy
12) Valiev
13) Bailey
14) Shoshnikov
15) Leivo
16) Gauthier
17) Bibeau
18) Korostelev
19) Hymen
20) Timashov

That's a great list for the top 20. Most of these kids outside of Marner/Nylander will bust but not all of them. In terms of prospect depth it's outstanding. Verhaghe and Granberg aren't even on this list anymore!

Percy at 11? Your list became instantly invalid

 

[Menzinger]

Looks like 98.9% of you have given up on Carter Verhaeghe...We'll see about that.

I think he will be a much better player than Gauthier

 

[ChrisCall]

Gauthier is pretty low on most of your lists.

His game outside of scoring is Elite, or carries Elite potential. I assume he falls on most lists because he hasn't proven the scoring aspect of his game.

I'm not as doubtful on that as others, which is why i have him much higher.
His passing skills should lend themselves well to playing with pro-level players, but he has also found a home in front of the net and if given to continue developing that role, he should be able to get a lot of garbage production from there.

I do see him putting up some points on the Marlies next season, but a lot depends on a lot of things, including where he is slotted.

 

[bobermay]

I'll give a crack at my Top 20:

1) Marner
2) Nylander
3) Kapenen
4) Brown
5) Dermott
6) Loov
7) Percy
8) Bracco
9) Johnsson
10) Leipsic
11) Harrington
12) Valiev
13) Gauthier
14) Bibeau
15) Nilsson
16) Finn
17) Froese
18) Soshnikov
19) Hyman
20) Toninato

HM: Nielsen, Carrick, Granberg, Bailey, Dzierkais and Verhaeghe and rest of 2015 draftees as I do not know as much about them, but they seem to have potential

 

[Mitchy]

1. Marner
2. Nylander
3. Brown
4. Kapanen
5. Bracco
6. Dermott
7. Percy
8. Johnson
9. Leipsic
10. Korostelev

After 7, it became pretty hard to rank them. Lots of players who could fit the 8-10 spot. I was torn on who to put at 10 between the GOAT and Korostelev, but chose Korostelev because of his upside. Really liking our prospect pool right now. For the first time in forever, our prospect pool is looking great.

 

[Diddy]

For me:
Marner
Nylander
Brown
Johnson
Percy
Kapanen
Bracco
Dermott
Loov
Korostelov

I'm pretty high on korostelov though. Same as Johnson though I think Johnson is being a bit underrated here. Tough to leave out some of our guys, which is actually nice to say. HM to the goat, verhaeghe, leipsic, Bailey & soshnikov. I like a lot of our prospects.

 

[AppsSyl]

My Top 25

Marner
Nylander
Kapenen
Brown
Bracco
Johnson
Percy
Dermott
Harrington
Leivo
Leipsic
Gauthier
Valiev
Dzierkals
Korostelev
Timashov
Bibeau
Hyman
Verhaeghe
Soshnikov
Loov
Finn
Lindgren
Bailey
Granberg

 

[McMatthews]

Anyone who has Scott Harrington as a top 10 prospect in this organization is clueless.

I suspect the shiney new toy factor comes into play here.

Harrington is not a top 10 prospect in our organization. He's closer to 15th. We have better prospects than him.

 

[Drew311]

Gauthier is pretty low on most of your lists.

These rankings are largely an assessment of NHL upside, not NHL probability.

 

[Cor]

Do people want the first poll to go up?

I can run it until Schenn shows up again

 

[RoadWarrior]

Percy at 11? Your list became instantly invalid

Can you tell me that Percy is obviously better than Harrington, Loov and Dermott?

Don't think so. Percy didn't even look that great in the AHL last year. He's a smart player with a good first pass but not a lock to make it by any means.

 

[LaPlante94]

1-Nylander
2-Marner
3-Percy
4-Brown
5-Kapanen
6-Gauthier
7-Loov
8-Johnson
9-Bracco
10-Leivo

Other prospects I like:

Toninato
Joshua
Vesey
Engvall
Verhaeghe

I'm just gonna stop there because I'm about to name all of our prospects. This used to be easier when our system was garbage haha

 

[Schenn]

Do people want the first poll to go up?

I can run it until Schenn shows up again

I'll have it up in a bit tonight I said it would be Sunday or Monday anyways.
