Starts to get tricky from here. Weighing between Seney, Zetterlund and Davies.

Ended up going with Davies. Add Bernard.

 

[RememberTheName]

Seney add Bernard

 

[Devils Dominion]

Seney

Add Chainey

 

[Cheddabombs]

Pretty tough but I feel like the slight edge goes to Seney.

 

[Classic Devil]

Honestly, after Smith and McLeod I see a giant soup of good but not superb prospects. From 3 to like 12 I think the order is pretty variable.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Walsh and Boqvist, IMO, have higher upsides than McLeod

 

[Blender]

Seney add Hellickson.

 

[Quest for Stanley]

Seney all the way! Solid NCAA career. One of the few True Freshmen in NCAA history to lead his team in scoring 4yrs in a row....did it it tough Hockey East.

Seamless transition to Pro hockey.....one of Bingo’s best players in the 12 games he played. Out performed many prospects projected ahead of him.

Stood out in development camp...again out performed many prospects projected to be ahead of him.

Thankfully Ray signed him.

Our posts helped!

Curious to who @David Conte would rank.

His picks ahead of Castron's?

 

[EnglishDevil]

Seney add Sharangovich

I see it similarly, although for me it’s Smith standing alone as our best prospect by far and then the group of McLeod, Boqvist, Walsh & Anderson who I think are a cut above the rest, not ‘superb’ prospects but definitely better than just good.

After that though? Yeah, there’s like 10-12 guys with decent potential who are hard to choose between. Obviously some of them aren’t going to make it, but I like the depth we have in our prospect pool right now, I think there’s a reasonable chance that we’ll get at least a couple of NHLers out of the guys that end up rated 7-20 in this poll.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Brett Seney over Davies...really.

 

[Beastdog75]

Voted for Blackwood, add Gignac

 

[Devils Dominion]

Voted for Blackwood, add Gignac

Thanks for participating Mr Blackwood
Hope your son has a good season.. .

 

[MartyOwns]

he’s not the most skilled one left, but the technically correct answer here is speers

 

[Better Call Sal]

It sucks he's kind of being forgotten about, myself included.

Chris Ryan had a good article on him earlier this week and him adjusting his mindset from when he made the team two years ago to not last season:

Managing expectations: Devils' Blake Speers forms new mindset after a hard lesson

 

[OmNomNom]

how far will macblack fall

 

[devilsblood]

Speers add Sharangovich.

 

[devilsblood]

Technically?

 

[Darkauron]

Technically I have not seen anything from speers for him to be rated over any other players for a bit.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Davies add Sharagonvic

 

[Devils Dominion]

Last at this point

 

[HBK27]

Davies add Hellickson
