TerribleI was reading that Sun article about Mantha and I feel so bad. He has lost his straight ahead vision in his one eye. Damn blood clots.

where do you guys rank skinner in your top prospect list? curious beyond him as well - where do jones/bear/safin/maksimov
all stack up?
Really hard to say at this point. Of U-25 guys that have not played 50 NHL games I would rank our prospects along these lines - unfortunately assuming that Ryan Mantha’s career is likely over or much-reduced:
1. Yamamoto
2. Bear
3. Jones
4. Skinner
5. Benson
6. Maksimov
7. Lagesson
8. Marody
9. Samorukov
10. Safin
11. Gambardella
12. Russell (Danish)
13. Rasanen
14. Vesel
15. McPhee
16. Wells
17. Marino
18. Starrett
My list weighs upside a bit higher than likelihood of making the nhl. If I went with NHL likelihood a guy like Patrick Russell would be higher as I think he might grab a 4th line spot right away.
As of draft day we’ll have a new #1 most likely.
Also keep in mind I *really* like Maksimov. I seriously considered him before Skinner or Benson.
No Berglund?
He's easily top 10 for me.

I like your list. Trust your gut, Maksimov should be ahead of Benson. Also, Samorukov should be ahead of Marody and maybe Berglund and Laggeson as far as upside. He is a stud that is bi, heavy and can skate well.
Also, at this point Wells drops below Starrett and Marino.

I guess if that's important to you...

Would you have Hebig at 20 or lower? Or did you miss him?
I'm just gonna pile on since apparently it's pick on CO day haha. Did you miss Phil Kemp, or is that an intentional omission?I missed him. I need an adult before writing these things apparently.
I’d have Hebig at 13 bumping Russell down.

So far the only guy who seems to be aware of how good he is is @Voodoo Glow Skulls - sneaky beggar always tries to grab him in deals.
Kemp is actually legit? Never hear much of him, aside from when he almost made the WJHC team. Is there NHL potential there?I omitted him as part of a black ops operation I’m running to keep him off of other teams radars.

(No I forgot him too. He’s around 14/15)
And before anyone says it I left off Desharnais because he sucks. Ditto Larkin.

I didn't watch Safin's AHL games but 1 goal in 9 games at the end of the season doesn't sound promising.
He was aruguably one of the more dangerous players on the ice and looked very good. Production wasn't there but he looked good to great whenever he was on the iceI didn't watch Safin's AHL games but 1 goal in 9 games at the end of the season doesn't sound promising.
Can you guys give me some insight into Ethan Bear? Specifically what type of player he is and what role he projects as in the long-term. Thanks!
Have to think Safin gets traded? Or does he play in the minors next season?
