Setkov neck-and-neck with Turgeon, thusfar. This is tight!
Probably the most my boy will be in it for a bit.

I feel like you can pencil in a vote for Sambrook from martinez....it's a hunch.

How has Smith not been voted in yet? He is somehow, one of our worst prospects? We don't even have, many great prospects! No offense to Russo, who is 24 already, and looks completely AHL/Europe bound at this point, but he really shouldn't be a prospect at this point.

I am not even a massive fan, per say of Smith, just find it odd, that a 2nd rounder from just 2 years ago, is so far down the list.

I vote off of ceilings. I have a really hard time seeing smith as a good power forward. If he makes it to the NHL I see him as a bottom line limited offensive upside guy. But there's others on this board that have more knowledge of him than I do.

Smith... I think that is the sixth time now, hopefully this one works out. I think he makes Team Canada's WJC team.

Yeah, Smith for maybe the 6th time for me too.

Brock Otten covers the OHL and had him as our top player as well, fwiw. I think he scores a bunch of goals this year.

Add Patrick Holway.

I know little of him, admittedly, but why would any team, draft a guy, with bottom 6 as a ceiling, in the 2nd round? If he is a bottom sixer, that would be floor, not ceiling. Otherwise, he would have been drafted 4/5/6/7th round, wouldn't he?

Not necessarily. Sometimes teams draft for a sure thing. IMO it never turns out that way.

Smith's skating scares me.

Yeah Smith's skating seems like it will need to improve quite a bit for him to even make it. If he does he'll probably be a bottom 6 enforcer type which isn't exactly a piece I value. So I went Sambrook. I like that there appears to be a small contingent of people that really like Setkov. Hopefully they can tell us all "I told you so" in 5 years.

Sambrook..add Gilmour

I agree, Gilmour should be in this list. As mentioned before, Detroit fans will love this draft pick. He will climb th charts and earn the fans respect very soon. Gilmour will prove he is far ahead of most guys drafted much earlier.
