Prospect Info: 2017 Prospect Rankings #13

[Goose of Reason]

Nattinen barely squeaks by Welinski to claim the 12th spot. Who will be unlucky #13?

Rank | Prospect | % of Vote | Yearly Change | Overall Change
1| Brandon Montour |65.08%| +2 | +11 (Since 2014)|
2| Sam Steel |79.55%| +5 | +5 (Since 2016)|
3| Jacob Larsson |84.78%| +1 | +5 (Since 2015)|
4| Max Jones |64.91%| +1 | +1 (Since 2016)|
5| Ondrej Kase |37.31%| +10 | +15 (Since 2014)|
6| Troy Terry |58.70%| +8 | +10 (Since 2015)|
7| Josh Mahura |65.85%| +12 | +12 (Since 2016)|
8| Maxime Comtois |32.65%|n/a|n/a (Since 2017)|
9| Marcus Pettersson |43.48%| -1 | +2 (Since 2014)|
10| Antoine Morand |39.53%|n/a|n/a (Since 2017)|
11| Nic Kerdiles |31.71%| +1 | -3 (Since 2012)|
12| Julius Nattinen |40.48%| -6 | -2 (Since 2015)|

Each poll will be open for 48 hours. If it's not close after 24 hours, I'll call it. If it is, it'll go the full 48. In the event of a tie after 48 hours, a 24-hour runoff will be held. The winner will get the open spot; the loser will go back into the pool, not get the next-lowest rank. The poll will go up to #25. Players are in the poll on the basis of HF's prospect criteria. Essentially, skaters with less than 65 games before the season of their 24th birthday, or goalies with less than 45 games before the season of their 24th birthday, are considered prospects. There are some nuances with respect to older-signed players, which I believe only applies to Garret Metcalf this year.

Vote on players using whatever criteria you like. This isn't the readiness poll or the talent poll or the most-likely-to-be-best poll, it's just a survey of who we as Duck fans like.

Welinski.

 

[DuckTech]

I think Welinski then Megna.

Again Thanks GOR for doing this!

 

[Kalv]

I went with Megna over Welinski.

Haven`t seen Wlinski much but based on eliteprospect scouting Megna had basically the same points rate (and Megna had 4p in 10 playoff games so it looks he didn`t just fed off Montour) but Megna was already called up once last year for a game.


Here is a video of Thompson:

Obviously that is a very low level of speed and defending. But points wise he had a nice season and 3 points in the playoffs.
I will keep him in mind, but probably will pick Roy and Kossila first.

Kevin Boyle also should be considered soon. He had solid numbers when he did play

 

[Kariya 9]

I went with Roy. He's impressed me every time I've seen him play. Slick hands and a ton of confidence. Top 9 potential for sure.

 

[Goose of Reason]

Calling this one for Welinski. #14 up soon.
