Voted Repo. Like his grit and think he will be an excellent 3rd/4th liner

 

[BeezKnees]

Noel

Add Schemitsch

 

[ShootIt]

Going with Noel purely based off his upside. Boom bust guy feels right slotting him in the back part of the top 10.

Montembeault is dropping like a stone... Can't wait to see him with a real team in front of him, he will shut mouths !

Add Inamoto, just for the name !

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Ang, Stillman and Monty are ahead of Noel but those three don't have that latest shiny new thing feel to them.

Add Inamoto, just for the name !

Yes to both sentiments!!!

Montembeault is already 7 spots higher than he should be...

 

[Jakeybonz]

going with stillman for the 3rd time in a row and for the 3rd time in a row will be disappointed

Don't you mean lower....

Because if he is already 7 spots higher than he should be, then he's going to be ranked at around 16 lol.

Voted Noel. Add Finkelstein. (underrated prospect based on his stats).

Speaking of Finkelstein, do we have any idea why he wasn't at the prospects camp?

Anyway agreed; add him.

Can someone explain to me what's so great about Ang?
I get that he has fantastic speed, and that's undoubtedly a good start, but this is the first time he produced (barely) over a .ppg in the OHL as a draft+2 year overager. Even if he becomes an NHL player, how much upside does he realistically have at this point? A decent third line guy if we're very optimistic?

I absolutely get choosing Montembeault if you're convinced he's our future n.1 goalie (and he has shown flashes of brilliance though he's been way too inconsistent on every level for my taste). I maybe even get Stillman if you see a future n.4 defenseman in him. However, right now the only argument I can see for Ang over Noel is that he's closer to the NHL (which he should be, being two and half years older than Noel).
Feel free to convince me otherwise.

 

[SoupyFIN]

Still time to get your votes in, pretty close between Noel and Monty.

 

[SoupyFIN]

Noel wins this round, Finkelstein to be added.
