[Saturated Fats]

#19 goes to The Bone.

Just a heads-up that we won't be having a poll over the weekend.

 

[VanJack]

So Philip Holm, a 25-year old journeyman d-man from the SHL is the leading vote-getter for the 20th-best prospect?...and is Joe Labate still considered a 'prospect'?....has to be Carcone for us, but hardly any votes so far.

 

[Knight53]

Kristoffer Gunnarsson.

 

[Ryan Miller*]

Molino for me. Has the biggest skill of the remaining prospects - speed.

Hopefully not Bill Sweatt part 2.

 

[Braeden]

Holm looked like an NHL defenceman at the World Cup and turned down offers from Chicago+Toronto to join us. He has about a 65% chance at cracking the NHL roster. Much better than Pedan+Weircioch.

 

[Tables of Stats]

I think my picks from here out are:

20 Holm
21 Molino
22 Carcone
23 Pedan
24 LaBate
25 Candella

Everything from 23 down is a toss up and Gunnarsson could make his way in.

 

[Verviticus]

literally the only thing molino has is speed

 

[David Bruce Banner]

Still voting for Cassels getting his mojo back.

 

[Ryan Miller*]

literally the only thing molino has is speed

Hence the Bill Sweatt comparison, mb1339.

 

[PM]

Whoops voted for the wrong Cole, meant to vote for Cassels. Still hope Cassels can get a bit of his game back and become something passable.

 

[denkiteki]

Holm then Molino... have both much higher on my list but been missing votes lately... (not that they would've changed the out come).

 

[denkiteki]

Kristoffer Gunnarsson.

Probably should be added to the list since he's a prospect tho completely unknown to me...

 

[elitepete]

Is holm really a prospect?

 

[Canucks LB]

Molino easily

 

[denkiteki]

Is holm really a prospect?

He's only 1 year older than Labate/Pedan and is considered a NHL rookie (doesn't need to clear waivers either where as Pedan does).

 

[thelittlecoon]

I think my picks from here out are:

20 Holm
21 Molino
22 Carcone
23 Pedan
24 LaBate
25 Candella

Everything from 23 down is a toss up and Gunnarsson could make his way in.

Gunnarsson was way better at the top prospects game than Candella. I even like his game more than what I've seen from Pedan.

 

[denkiteki]

Since poll still not up for 21... for the record i'm voting Molino in case i miss it lol.

Also i agree that Candella isn't on my list. Unless he has a big year, he'll likely be out of the organization come this time next year. Statistically speaking, he regressed last season. I didn't notice him at all in the prospect game (tho only 1 game). The only scouting reports i remember reading about him this year suggest he has trouble with bigger/stronger players (in the OHL).

Basically hoping we don't turn him into Stewart's replacement...

 

[Siludin]

literally the only thing molino has is speed

This reads as a compliment, despite the tone of the post.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Molino.

 

[Tobi Wan Kenobi]

If Molino is 21 our prospect pool is by far the best it's ever been

 

[Braeden]

If Molino is 21 our prospect pool is by far the best it's ever been

After a strong draft to add 6 guys in the top 20, I'd say that's pretty good. Canucks should've started this about a season or 2 ago but it's nice to see Benning&Co actually start to build a solid core of guys that could potentially be NHL players one day.
