Just so DFF can't be First again...btw you still have Myers listed Curufinwe

I like Laberge here then probably NAK

I like Laberge here

How dare you!

 

[Curufinwe]

Thanks, I took him out.

I don't expect any more "First" posts after what happened last time.

What happened last time?

 

[Jack de la Hoya]

Leberge or NAK, IMO.

 

[daynus]

Laberge. An easy answer on a multiple choice exam.

 

[Curufinwe]

Leberge or NAK, IMO.

I'm having a hard time picking between them. Laberge was ranked higher going into his draft and was drafted higher than NAK, but NAK has two straight 38 goal seasons in Junior and looked lively in his short AHL stint.

 

[Roo Mad Bro]

Laberge again.

Then NAK, Allison, Leier.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

I went with NAK because he seems like he could be a very good complimentary on this team. Laberge I think has the potential to be a more complete player, but I think if both reach their potential NAK will have a bigger impact.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Went Friedman, he's had some good seasons and the reviews every year seem to be super positive.

 

[WastedTalent]

If NAK can put up a stellar season in Lehigh Valley then that really will make me excited. He's right on the cusp of possibly taking that next step so this year should be fun to follow

I think the exact opposite.

I think NAK has the potential to be a more complete two-way player, but if he reaches his ceiling Laberge should have a bigger impact.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

I think NAK has the potential to be a more complete two-way player, but if he reaches his ceiling Laberge should have a bigger impact.

Maybe I'm ill-informed (wouldn't be the first time), but I thought NAK's game was more goal scoring and Laberge's game was more two-way?

 

[Gsus]

Laberge.

NAK can score, but his impact is going to come in other areas areas as well- kind of like a Matt Read type. Laberge needs to round out his game but he is highly skilled. He has higher offensive upside than NAK imo.

Interesting. Perhaps I've voted incorrectly. I kind of thought these two guys skill sets were swapped.

 

[Jack de la Hoya]

That was sort of my understanding. Leberge is a bit more about projection.

 

[Appleyard]

I keep almost forgetting that Laberge somehow fell so nicely to us after the Rubtsov trade... though tbh there was always going to be a nice forward there... but doubted Laberge would have been.

I thought he was going to go by ~#25 overall.

I take Laberge by a nose here... NAK is safer with a higher floor, and could be a very good ~45 point two-way winger capable of being a 2nd liner... but Laberge has the skill-set to be a 1st line, ~60 point guy.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

NAK.

NAK and Laberge are comparable, but NAK has a bigger body of work to look at, which puts him slightly ahead.

 

[46zone]

Laberge, then NAK, then Friedman for me

 

[Jray42]

^
Yeah same with me, laberge, NAK, Friedman. Not the biggest Allison fan, but he'd probably be the top guy after that.

 

[Rebels57]

Went with Laberge but actually considered Allison rather than NAK. His tools stand out amongst our forward prospect pool.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Laberge has the 4th highest upside in the system to me. Easy choice at this point.

 

[whitstifier]

How does Friedman compare to McAvoy as a prospect?
