I think Lundell and Tippett's ceiling are about the same. I don't think it will take 4 years for Lundell to get to the NHL, so imo he edges out Tippett because of that.

 

[BabyBennettov]

Tippett is more ready and should be our second best prospect...

Add Borgstrom, still believe he can make it and prove to be a formidable player IMO

 

[letsgrowcactus]

Voted Tippett.
Add Borgstrom.

 

[16Skippy]

Tippett. Add Noel

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Are we allowing outside votes to count @SoupyFIN?

Voted Tippett again.

Foreign interference against Lundell is inappropriate.

 

[SoupyFIN]

I would prefer if only our own board voted to keep the results as close to the "truth" as possible, but I'm not going to go through every single poster to see if it's a regular or not. Maybe I'll change the thread titles to reflect this better.

Obviously if there's a clear sign that non-regulars are trying to fix the results (say a bunch of Kärpät fans tried to vote Puutio in the top5), then I'll remove those votes. And yes, I have tools available to remove invidual votes.

 

[Boothinator]

Voted Stillman. I know we have those super prospects like Tippett/Lundell but decided he is the most ready of all the players

So with pole #1, I think I counted 15 out of 53 votes were non Panther fans, that's 28% of the vote.


Also, I find it comical how two drafts ago people were clamoring not to pick Knight, and now he's voted our number one Prospect. I hope I'm not the only one that sees the humour in this.

Obviously I vote for the 2021 Rookie of the Year Owen Tippett (also just saw how comical it will be when he wins Rookie of the Year and he's only our number 2 prospect. Good problem to have I guess.)


Add Noel

Why comical ?

It just speaks for the quality of our top-end prospects... I think the top-4 is a pretty tight group, and you could make an argument for anyone being ranked above the other. Good problem to have, but nothing comical IMO.

Well it's comical to me because now we would be now setting the bar extremely high for Knight, having him be the best.

OT is so close to the show, and looks so good as well as put up great numbers all along the way. I just don't know how OT's not the best?

IMO Owen is more proven and his ceiling is a bit lower than Knight... Knight has had an amazing freshman year in NCAA which is very hard for a goalie... And his potential seems like top-5 goalie in the league !

Which is much better than a perennial 30 goals scorer...

OT definitely has potential to become a perennial 30-goal scorer. I'd make a future with some good odds that he may even reach 30 this year!

Like you even mentioned, Knight is in college. He is at least one year away, probably two years away, maybe even three years away.

I'll take a perennial 30-goal scorer right now over a potential top five goalie in the league, in at least two or three years. OT may have 60 career NHL goals before Knight even gets into the league!

 

[FrolikFan67]

I chose lundell. Tippett is older and more developed and better to step in right now but I think overall lundell is a better prospect in terms of both ceiling, all around play, plus being a center vs winger. But if it were whos more ready then yes Tippett.

 

[MintyFresh88]

Denisenko. Has the highest ceiling of any of our forward prospects.

 

[Prominence Problem]

Denisenko. Has the highest ceiling of any of our forward prospects.

He is my choice next round if OT gets picked here.

 

[Dread Clawz]

Tippet, add Noel

I didn't want Knight because he were rumored or had already signed Bob long-term so in my mind that didn't make sense. I also think given more time, Monty will turn into a very good goaltender. That being said, since we did draft him and he is our prospect, in my mind he is the best one out of the bunch.

2nd best, my vote goes to Tippett.

 

[SoupyFIN]

Comparing to the amount of votes given on the first round, it's unlikely that Lundell would catch Tippett during the second day, even if everyone who hasn't yet voted gave their vote to Lundell.

Tippett takes it, Borgstrom and Noel added.
