No clue how Kossila got voted in at 10

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Andy keeps falling and I keep on voting for Andy.

 

[Boo Boo]

give me welinski here- I think he should have been on our third pair all last year and will be very dissapointed when goes somewhere else and becomes a decent player

 

[Beretta 390]

Boo Boo, I share your pain. Andy.

 

[Paul4587]

Why was there not a tiebreaker for number 10?

How can you have a tie breaker if there wasn't a tie

I went Andy here

 

[kroypuck]

Went Welinski here but his shot at the pros is over since he's 25.

 

[DuckTech]

I sometimes wish that we did this whole ranking post rookie camp. I have a feeling that a number of us who end up attending may change some of our votes. Heck right now work may have me out in Vegas during the prospect tourney. If I do I will try and post what I can about it.

 

[Getzmonster]

Went Roy again, but he was a toss up with Welinski and Kossila. There may be better talent that's a little further down the ladder, but I'm just not familiar enough with anyone else to put them ahead of those three. I also wonder if our goalie prospects will be overlooked a bit.

His shot at the top flight is not over.

agreed that would be good to do

Normally when a poll is that close you would have a tiebreaker. There were 3 guys all within one vote last I checked.

I'm lost with this thought. He just turned 25 this past April.

He spent four years in college. He finished his second year in the AHL last year as well as a rep for the Gulls in the AHL all-star game last year. Highest scoring D-man on the Gulls last year in only 51 games with 34 points. Tied for 2nd in PPGs for the Gulls with 7 PPGs.

Not bad for a 3rd round pick, especially if he could become a mainstay at the NHL level with that booming shot from the blue line, especially for an inept PP like the Ducks.

It's sarcasm. On the Kossila poll people were saying that he was too old to be considered a prospect. By all means I think Welinski has NHL potential.
