Bastian. idk who to add..I guess Kerfoot or Mozik.

 

[Zippy316]

I have to go with Jacobs.

It was a tough one, but I really think his game is underrated. Should be an interesting race between Speers, Jacobs, and Bastian regardless.

Adding Mozik.

 

[The Wumpus]

Bastian, add Rykov.

 

[EnglishDevil]

Bastian edges this for me, Jacobs next, it's very close.

Add Colton White.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Blake Speers is a statistical monster.

 

[NjDevsRR]

Voted Speers

 

[NJDevils17]

Jacobs(4th times the charm).

I also considered Bastian and Speers pretty closely.

Add Auvitu or White.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Jacobs add Mozik

 

[JimEIV]

Bastian. Add Pietila.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Speers add Kuja

 

[RememberTheName]

Speers
Add Rykov

Good to see Coleman added - he should hopefully go in the next few picks. He was 7th on the list for a reason last year. Had an impressive start in Albany (7 points in 14 games and by all accounts playing well) and could contend for a roster spot in camp.

Going Jacobs - he and Bastian are the most recent 2nd round picks, though Jacobs went slightly higher and had a nice post draft season.

I like Speers as well and while he had a great playoff run, should be a bit concerning that his PPG actually decreased this year. I know he's getting a lot of support (and at this stage, would love to hear more arguments for/against various players) but I would consider putting Bastian and Coleman ahead of him.

Add Mozik.

Bastian, Speers & Jacobs should go ahead of Coleman in my opinion.

I'd put Coleman in that next group with the likes of Anderson, Maltsev & Gignac. It's a testament to how deep our prospect pool currently is, there's a number of players with plenty of upside that won't even crack the top ten, it'll be very interesting to see how these guys develop.

 

[Marshal Rochambeau]

ahahahahaha can't believe it's tied

Speers, add Mozik

 

[Nubmer6]

Jacobs, add Mozik

 

[ghoti]

Jacobs. Add Pietila.

 

[Zippy316]

Quick heads up.

Auvitu and Helgeson, by virtue of age, are not eligible for this poll. Lappin, who it seems some people are forgetting about, is still eligible.

 

[Comparison Ford]

Bastian, add Pietila

 

[Brooklyndevil]

Went with Jacobs.

 

[Darkauron]

Big fan of Speers, but I think Bastian has a better chance of being a NHL player so I went with him. Add Pietila.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

3 way tie lol

 

[Cheddabombs]

Going with Jacobs here. At this point I've barely watched enough of these prospects to make sound conclusions. But I do remember hearing the praises of Jacobs be sung towards the second half of the Sting's season.

Awesome to see such a close race between 3 guys, and I think all 3 are just objectively pretty good prospects. How far our pool has come indeed.

 

[AfroThunder396]

Can't teach Bastian's size and he has late first round talent to back it up.

 

[Triumph]

Speers, add Lappin
