mamin cause i think he has more potential then we realize

 

[FlaPanthers11]

Noel has the highest potential here at this point.

 

[BeezKnees]

McCoshen, but it's neck and neck with Mamin for me. Both are the closest to cracking the lineup fulltime but will likely start this year in the AHL. They both have reasonable expectation to become solid NHLers.

Edit: Add Haapala

 

[RainingRats]

Add Hunt. He had a good year in the AHL.

 

[SoupyFIN]

Noel has the highest potential here at this point.

I think he's too much of a mystery at this point to have him in my top10, same reason why I had Denisenko a bit lower than where he went. As we go further and further away from the top5, my emphasis starts to lean more towards how NHL ready the prospect is and how likely he's to hit his potential. Some may put their vote purely on potential, so I can understand why Mamin isn't a sexy pick to make.

A year from now I expect Noel to be in my top5 (at least).

Torn between Mamin and Noel - Noel's ceiling is higher but he's extremely raw and who knows if and when he will reach it. Went with him in the end but honestly it's a coin-toss at this point.

Add Hunt.

 

[ShootIt]

McCoshen for me. Still see him as a #4.

 

[CHGoalie27]

Noel has the highest potential here at this point.

Higher than our starting G?

 

[IM Clutcm]

Higher than our starting G?

I don't see any votes for Bednard?

 

[I am not exposed]

I voted for Jonathan Ang.

I really see him as a potential good 3rd line winger. Fingers crossed!

I like any vote for him as well. He would make those early 2000s Metallica shirts cool to wear

ITTT'SSSSSS
MAAAMMMMINNNN
TIIIIMMMME!!!!!

 

[16Skippy]

Voted Mamin. Surprised but happy that everyone else has him close to or in the top 5 too.

Add Hunt.

 

[Olax]

Add Haapala

 

[Chino Oscar]

Mamin... his hockey IQ is way underrated, he doesn’t just dump the puck and chases, he actually tries to make plays happen and saw several times when his plays were wasted playing in the 4th line. Can also crash the boards, forechecks agresively and bangs in front of the net. He will surprise many folks if given a proper chance IMO.

 

[SoupyFIN]

Mamin is number 6, Hunt to be added.
