Voted Lundestrom. If this one isn't close which I expect it won't be I will probably only leave it going for a day.

[Duck Off]

This one won’t be close. The top 5 are easily definable. Number 6 should be interesting. Despite his struggles last year, probably going to go with Mahura due to upside.

 

[MMC]

I’m tempted to vote Tracey here but going Lundy

 

[ShadowDuck]

Guhle

 

[Goose of Reason]

This one is Lundestrom, Jones next imo.

 

[AngelDuck]

Lundestrom. Then Tracey, then Jones.

 

[eternalbedhead]

Lundestrom.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

After this is should get interesting... i could see tracey, jones, dostal, guhle getting love.

 

[Getzmonster]

Lundestrom. He's going to be a solid player and has that intangibles thing going for him.

 

[DigiDuck]

Lundy finally.

The next few should be good. When's the last time a Dman wasn't voted in the top 5? I'm stoked about our future forwards!

 

[Dirk316]

Jones followed by Lundestrom

 

[dracom]

Going with Lundestrom here only because I think he has a higher upside than Jones, even though Jones is more capable of playing in the NHL next year as an energy bottom 6 guy. While I think Lundestrom is going to need to be in a top 6/9 role to really succeed.

Lundestrom was very capable last year as a fourth-line forward. He could be a good fourth line center again next year, except that's probably going to be very bad for his development. He's good enough defensively that I can say this with confidence.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

I see all 3 of Lundestrom, Comtois & Jones as having High Floors.

 

[JabbaJabba]

I voted for Lundeström even though I'm not that excited about him. After this vote, it gets tricky.

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Dostal should get some more recognition going into the next round. Gonna be interesting between Dostal, Jones, Guhle, and Larsson.

 

[Paul4587]

In reading the comments where posters are talking about the next tier of guys I think Mahura is getting slept on quite a bit. He was overwhelmed at the NHL level last season but had a great junior career and until the playoffs where I believe he was playing hurt he had a decent AHL year. If you compare his career trajectory to Guhle who come up through the same league as him - Mahura had a significantly better junior career, had almost identical per game numbers in his first AHL season and NHL stint as Guhle.

Obviously they’re different players - Guhle has much better skating ability and more size but Mahura is more cerebral, has a better first odd and offensive hockey IQ. I don’t see much that separates them although I probably prefer Guhle slightly because I think his size is going to be more of a benefit at the next level and gives him a slightly higher floor.

I find myself still leaning towards Larsson over those two.

As do I but in terms of who is second among our dmen I think it’s really close between those two - there’s not much separating them. LaCombe is a wildcard who may end up the best of the lot but I don’t quite know how I rank him at the moment.

 

[Kalv]

If Lundestrom finds consistency he might be a better player than some players above him.
His SHL stint was great last year. Voting him but he needs to put a lot of things together to be successful at NHL.

Will consider Dostal for my next pick

 

[Opak]

I bet next vote is split between Tracey, Dostal and Jones...

I think mahura has most upside betweeen larsson him and guhle personally. I still think he can become a theodore type
