I voted Greenway. Big, can skate and move and has a ton of ability. I don't know how his year at Wisconsin went but one of the complaints against him in the USHL was that he struggled when pressured. In the NHL, everyone is pressured consistently so hopefully he is working on figuring that out.

But hey, I'm bad at spotting D-Men. I thought Matt Finn was going to be a gem.

 

[Brown Dog]

Goat

 

[Cor]

Ian Scott.

We are gonna look mighty silly me thinks

I echo almost everything you said, including the part about Matt Finn.

At this point I feel we've moved to the next tier of prospects and I had a tough time choosing. There are 5 or 6 players I considered here.

 

[MJ65]

Timashov

 

[htpwn]

Voted Aaltonen.

Add Garret Sparks next please.

 

[wasting time]

I like Greenway too. But Other than Aaltonen who of those prospects could Center one of the top lines in the KHL and score 44 points?

I mean, they just signed him to a 3 year ELC.

 

[Mr Hockey]

You guys are going to be shocked by Timashov and Moore this coming season.

 

[hamzarocks]

Tymo. I'm expecting him to climb to a top 7 spot next season. This kid 8s really talented and with more mins will produce numbers and showcase his talent.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Timashov. He's my favourite to really jump up the rankings by the end of next year.

 

[WilliamInLondon]

can't wait to see Timashov unleashed on the Marlies this season

 

[WTFMAN99]

I voted Timashov.

[LeafGrief]

Aaltonen

 

[Leaf Lander]

Valiev

 

[TLeafsFan]

Honestly, I think Valiev should round out our top 15.

 

[Advanced stats]

Aaltonen. His NHLe says he a 55 point player.

 

[SprDaVE]

Honestly, I think Valiev should round out our top 15.

Not much progression in his game unfortunately. Injuries also have really slowed down his progression to almost zero. The prospects around him have at least taken some sort of step up or at least had far better seasons. He got passed in the depth charts by almost every defensive prospect we had on the Marlies. Not a good sign.

Not sure he's got much of a future anymore. This upcoming season will be very important for him.

 

[daethfromabove1979]

I'd be surprised if Timashov ever plays a game in the NHL, he doesn't have the skating to be effective in the NHL, not sure why people are so high in him

That could very well be true, but I'm giving him and the GOAT the benefit of one more season before I throw in the towel.

At this point of ranking, they are all questionable to make the NHL.

Timashov has fantastic offensive abilities and his skating is more than fine. He's not a huge speedster by any means but his agility is top notch. He's great along the boards for that reason as well.

I think he was completely underutilised by Keefe this season. When he got minutes, he was one of the better Marlies. I think Keefe needs to play him a lot more this upcoming season.

 

[TLeafsFan]

Ain't it grand that even at prospect ranking #15, we're still talking about the possibility of these players, carving out a future in the NHL!

Try saying making that argument with the Leafs prospect pool 3 summers ago.

 

[Drew311]

Timashov. He's going to have a big year in the AHL and rocket up the rankings.

 

[Morgs]

Aaltonen.

Timashov/Gauthier/Greenway next.
