[Tatar Shots]

Bert add Ehn

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Bert, add is Pearson

 

[ChadS]

Add Pearson. Finding it difficult to compare Russo with 18 year olds...

 

[cjm502]

Going for Sambrook just to be different, he's my dark horse prospect.

 

[Mount Suribachi]

The Nephtuzzi.

Ironic that our most NHL ready prospect is down at #6

 

[Vatican Roulette]

Bertuzzi, add Pearson

 

[Ezekial]

The Nephtuzzi.

Ironic that our most NHL ready prospect is down at #6

Well Mantha and AA and such just were promoted, and Larkin's prospect tenure was short.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Bert add Pearson.

 

[Wood Stick]

Tyler Bertuzzi. His development has been top notch, 20 goal potential, and is about NHL ready.

Add Ehn.

 

[Martinez]

Super easy choice here. It's gotta be Bert

 

[ricky0034]

and here we see just how lacking in depth the prospect pool currently is

#6 and already we're down to picking between someone that's a pretty safe bet to be a bottom 6 guy but has no real ceiling beyond that,a couple guys that might possibly at best be bottom pairing defensemen,a couple guys that were just recently drafted,and a few guys that are looking like outright busts

Bertuzzi here I guess

 

[HisNoodliness]

I actually voted for Lindstrom. I've been on the fence about him or Bert since we drafted him. Bertuzzi is way more ready and essentially a sure thing, but he's a bottom 6 winger and I just don't value that much.

 

[Frk It]

I've been wanting to get excited about Lindstrom, I mean that's the highest pick Hakan has been given since we drafted Kronwall, and that's the last defenseman we drafted who has been a .5 ppg guy in the NHL.

But I was a little surprised Hakan said he thought the Danish kid we took has more upside. But he also said Lindstrom is like Jacob Larsson who is a solid prospect.

 

[FireBird71]

Sambrook....could be one of our best Defensive prospects when it's all said and done...add Ehn

 

[Frk It]

Definitely add Chase Pearson. Only had 2 less goals than Colin White and Brock Boeser last year, who were first rounders from his draft class.

 

[RabidBadger]

I'm not going against the grain here; Bert it is.

Add Setkov and I'll start my against-the-grain-going.

 

[Vatican Roulette]

I'm not going against the grain here; Bert it is.

Add Setkov and I'll start my against-the-grain-going.

Against the grain creates discussion in the doldrums of July and August.

Against the grain all you want.

 

[Vatican Roulette]

Definitely add Chase Pearson. Only had 2 less goals than Colin White and Brock Boeser last year, who were first rounders from his draft class.

Haven't seen many scouting reports on this guy. Any Maine fans out there that can give some insight? (also Holway).

 

[Martinez]

I'm not going against the grain here; Bert it is.

Add Setkov and I'll start my against-the-grain-going.

Last year I voted for Hronek as the 5th prospect. I was voting for him all the way till prospect 13. Next round I will make my against the grain pick too

 

[Leronziia]

Bertuzzi and add Pearson, his season was relatively underrated.

 

[Go Wings]

I've been wanting to get excited about Lindstrom, I mean that's the highest pick Hakan has been given since we drafted Kronwall, and that's the last defenseman we drafted who has been a .5 ppg guy in the NHL.

But I was a little surprised Hakan said he thought the Danish kid we took has more upside. But he also said Lindstrom is like Jacob Larsson who is a solid prospect.

It is the highest pick since Dick Axelsson and remember the high praise from Hakan about him.

 

[Henkka]

Lindström.

Add Setkov.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

Hey at least all our best prospects are for the most part dmen

We need some higher end guys plus more centres

Someone has to come out of it that's good to great

 

[Rzombo4 prez]

Went with Bert. At this point in the rankings I find it appropriate to take guys who are close to NHL ready, but do not project way up the roster. I could not find any obvious talents left to take over him at this point, although I gave Petruzzelli some thought.

He still needs to get stronger and continue to work on his skating, but I do see him as an effective bottom-six NHL forward.
