i think i've voted for macewen for like 10 consecutive polls now lmao
Eh, I tend to vote for potential over guys who have a good shot at becoming... a low impact 4th liner. Maybe I'm not seeing what others see in Macewen, I haven't watched as many games of his as others have but I just don't see much there. Would be nice to hear why others think more highly of him.
I think Benning and his relatives keep voting for BrisboisOf the leftover players, I'd rank them like this:
1. MacEwen
2. Utunen
3. Sautner
4. McEneny
5. Chatfield
6. Brisebois
7. Carcone
8. Thiessen
9. Manukyan
10. Brassard
11. Zhukenov
12. Laplante
13. Gunnarsson
I typically agree with your criteria. But I think most of the guys in the teens-range simply aren't going to make the NHL (save for Utunen, who I also like). I'd rate someone who I think has an NHL career who guys I just don't see making it point blank.
