The choice is Cristall clear.

Also half of these names are fake and you can't convince me otherwise:

"Jake Karabela"
"Ludwig Persson"
"Pierrick Dube"
"Ivan Miroshnichenko"

These are all AI generated names. Get outta here with this Sleve McDichael nonsense!

It was late and I didn't read title, I picked Miro in both. Can't lose with Miro or Leonard, lol.

McMichael doesn't count as a prospect anymore? 57 ahl games and 6 nhl games last year

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Miro because hes close to NHL ready

Don't know if the poll poster is using explicit NHL rookie criteria .. but McMichael no longer qualifies as one. He's played at least 6 games each of the past two season.

Same…

 

[Ridley Simon]

Of course Queen Bee picks someone like Keller. Way to “stick it to the board”, buddy.

I hope Miroshnichenko doesn't think he's going to play in the NHL soon. I Don't want to be a Debbie Downer but the chances to have success go up with maturity both mental/Physical with age with the prime number being between 3-5 years after being drafted in most cases at the NHL level! The AHL is an Old man's League that eats up youngsters not ready to compete physically,mentally

I really don't understand the first sentence here as no one can really know that. It is why the rookie camp and those prospects that carry over into the main for a bit is where we can see where the proof is in the pudding. Do I think it is unlikely that Miro won't make the main club roster this year I'd rather wait to see the performance.

Not really sure what direction this post is going. Are you basically saying Miro isn't going to make it because he's likely Hershey bound this season instead of staying in Russia? He's got a ton of competitive nature and plays a strong physical game already. I think he'll do well in the AHL once he figures out the flow difference from Russia and starts to learn the system they play in Hershey. He's already got a NHL level shot so that should help as well once he earns the minutes to get scoring line and PP opportunities.

 

[Jags]

Given the logjam in Hershey, Miro might not be with the Bears to start the year. Making the Caps roster isn't really on the menu for him in camp.

He might start out in NA as a Stingray and there's nothing wrong with that.
