Prospect Info: 2021 Leafs Board Prospect Rankings #18

[Morgs]

Scott was added with 2 votes. Vote for who to add next.

1. Each poll will be open for 24 hours.

2. As we never have a consensus way as to which players are still considered prospects, we'll be using my way (at least for the first few polls). The player must be U24 and have less than 50 GP in the NHL. The "prospects" that are left off because of these rules are Joey Anderson, Brennan Menell, Adam Brooks, Joseph Duszak, Vladimir Bobylev, and Nickolai Chebykin. The player also must be either drafted by the team, or signed to an ELC to be considered a prospect. This leaves off a player like Keith Petruzzelli.

3. At this time we'll stick to the top-20, but if we want to go to 25 or 30 (I believe the Leafs have just over 30 guys that are eligible) I'll definitely go further.

1. Rasmus Sandin - 53.2%

[Morgs]

Went with Artur. Almost went with Voit instead.

Add Kizimov.

 

[notbias]

Voted Artur, but Scott is still interesting to me, I feel like there is virtually no way to rank him as a prospect

 

[Lauro]

Can I change my vote to Rindell? ;-)

 

[aingefan]

I can’t vote for a goalie.
Steeves time for me, wishing his first name was also Steve: Stevey Steeves.

 

[tmlfan98]

Add Rubins

 

[justashadowof]

Add Rubins. He was signed by the current regime to an ELC. They like him and I like him. He isn't a little squirt with super skills, he's a big bodied D with good skills. The Leafs should probably be giving this LHD as much right side defense ice time as possible to develop him for that side. Could make him potentially valuable as a both sider depth guy.

Still, I've been really impressed with Hollowell's defenseman techniques. He's better at being an actual pro defenseman than several above him on this poll. But man he's so slight and small, it's going to be tough sledding.

 

[Canada4Gold]

I've gotten to the indecision part of the schedule. There's about 4 or 5 guys I would be fine with here. I'll go Rindell. Feels like I'm going Scott for multiple votes soon though. We're far enough down now that his potential upside is worth it despite the missed 2 years making him huge risk.

 

[acrobaticgoalie]

Amirov Matthews Nylander
Robertson Tavares Marner
Knies Abramov Miettinen
Holmberg Hirvonen Steeves

That would be 4 good offensive lines if all were to make it. Would be nice to get another player or 2 like Knies in there.
