Woohoo, I'm finally not the only one voting for Henley!

 

[tigervixxxen]

It's tough for sure. I'm a little higher on Boikov but Henley and Smith are close next.

Add Corbett

 

[tigervixxxen]

I'll say add Corbett too

 

[Nihiliste]

I think Boikov is benefiting from recency bias here. None of these guys are likely to be NHL players but Smith and Henley have proven more.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Well there always is the debate between prospects and AHL players, which is valued more and especially at this stage. Of the prospects that are left I feel comfortable in saying I like what I've seen in Boikov the best. As far as AHL players, Smith should have been voted in a while ago and especially before Martinsen who hasn't shown anything.

I think Boikov is benefiting from recency bias here. None of these guys are likely to be NHL players but Smith and Henley have proven more.

Personally, when drafted I had him very low. But after catching a game he appears to have some good potential with his size and skating. And it's not like his skills are awful either.

I love Henley, but I don't see much potential, unless he has improved his skating in the AHL. He WILL be a damn fine 4th liner and an amazing PKer though. I got to go with the guy who could turn out better than bottom line/pair though.

As for Smith, I just find it hard for these small guys to even make the NHL unless they are really dominating the lower leagues.
