Prospect Info: 2023 Ducks Prospect Rankings #17

[MMC]

It's time for our annual Ducks prospect rankings. Each poll will run for 48 hours except in the case of a clear landslide. I will go to the top 25 and include a final poll where you can pick 5 honorable mentions. Please tell me who you want me to add in the replies. In the seventeenth poll I am voting for Calle Clang.

Coulson Pitre. Remember the name!

Terrance next, then Colangelo

 

[Arthuros]

Reggie.

Regenda seems most likely to be a top nine forward from who is left.

I ride alone on the Kyle Kukkonen train. Choo choo.

I seem to bring this up a lot, but it truly is amazing that we can have conversations about guys with legitimate NHL possibilities at 17. The depth in this system is bonkers

 

[Kalv]

Regenda is older and with much less production than Groulx. The disrespect that BO is getting is crazy

We are at 17 and on the board remains
A first round pick
2 players that have shown they can play in the NHL
A young goalie that has impressed in the SHL
2 2nd round picks from the most recent draft
2 3rd round picks from the most recent draft
And a talented NCAA goal scorer

That would take us to 25 all of which have a decent semblance of potential and value, and leaving interesting names like Dionicio, Port, Callow, and Buteyets unranked.

Also I have a feeling Callow could play in a pretty big role for Harvard this year and I think he could impress. I also think Buteyets may be getting very underrated at the moment.

That's a ridiculous depth
