Prospect Info: Annual Devils Prospect Rankings #1

[Devils Trap]

Since the Draft is over, thought no better time to do one of these. Same as always, vote in the poll as well as post in the comments to add a player to the list. We will do one Poll per day, each coming around the same time.

Edit: No longer Included Boucher or Matteau as prospects. Nor Severson, even though Hockey's Future list all of them as prospects. (If I should add them, I will. Just let me know in the thread)

[HischierSeDgewOrk]

Zacha

Add Blake Coleman

 

[Devils Trap]

Zacha for me , Add Coleman

 

[Cheddabombs]

Definitely Zacha. He's a ways a way, but I'd have Speers over a few guys on that list so maybe add him.

 

[OmNomNom]

santini should really be a competitor for #1 IMO, esp how poised he is and how difficult NCAA level can be

 

[RSeen]

Zacha. How are Matteau and Boucher not prospects? They aren't full time NHLers yet, and they aren't proven whatsoever. They are absolutely prospects still.

Alright, Ill add them in next time. They werent going to win #1 anyway

Was between Zacha/Santini

 

[HobokenIrish]

Zacha. I'd add Speers to the list too and keep Matteau and Bouch. Still prospects to me but I think Severson should be left off.

 

[Burner Account]

I am way more cautious than most with the Santini hype.

 

[RogueStatus]

Zacha- add Coleman

 

[ForeverJerseyGirl]

Voted Zacha.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Zacha, add Coleman (excluding Boucher and Matteau)

 

[OmNomNom]

I am way more cautious than most with the Santini hype.

one could argue we should temper the zacha hype too though (playing devils advocate, i'm all up in that hype too hahaha. but i feel like santini is a step ahead for development)

 

[JimEIV]

Yes that was me.

 

[OmNomNom]

yes that was me.

just don't brag and say you were first when he becomes the next elite goaltender in a few years

 

[Cheddabombs]

Yes that was me.

Glad to see you on-board now Jim

 

[Sgt Brylin]

Santini. Zacha next year, possibly.

 

[Zippy316]

I wanted to do this but I was gonna wait till after free agency until everything dies down, but I guess this works.

Easily Zacha.

And Boucher and Matteau are definitely prospects. Severson I would not list though. Add Coleman too

 

[DevilsJunkie]

Yeah, I'm not sold on Santini either. Came away not impressed with the games I've watched him play.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Zacha. Add Pietla and maybe Hulk and Hrabanka since all will get NHL chances soon.

 

[TheDarkSideOfThePuck]

Zacha add Hrabarenka

 

[Hockey Sports Fan]

I was all ready to sit down for a few minutes and debate Severson or Zacha in my head. But if Damon's not eligible (which I probably would have realized if I had thought about it for 10 seconds), then Zacha it is!

Add Speers, I honestly think he might be the second best prospect in the organization right now.

 

[JimEIV]

I am way more cautious than most with the Santini hype.

That is more than reasonable...He looked awfully shaky after returning from that broken wrist IMO. Probably just rust.

I am looking forward to seeing him this year.

That could of been an interesting debate too, but I don't think Severson will ever see the lower leagues again. Guess it could still be had.

They individually are most likely our best young players at each side of the ice.

 

[NJD Kula]

I think it's only fair we include our borderline prospects.
