Prospect Info: 2023 Ducks Prospect Rankings #20

[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 twentieth poll I am voting for Carey Terrance.

Hoof, Tracey tanking real hard.

Though I think that speaks a bit more about the talent injected into the system rather than Tracey actually regressing.

I'm going with Terrance. There is no guarantee he ends up better than Tracey (prob my next pick) but he has a lot of time. Here's the intro on him in EliteProspects draft guide:

''On an anemic offensive team, Carey Terrance potted 30 goals to lead his team by 12. He was Erie’s No. 1 centre, the first player over the boards for tough matchups, both special teams, and any highleverage offensive situation.''


He has some issues with hockey sense, apparently, which is very concerning, but he had a pretty great season regardless.

The one guy I have no clue about where I’d rank is Judd Caulfield
