Seth Barton, easily for me. Last guy I feel has an NHL chance.

Seth Barton, UMass Lowell (NCAA): If you’re looking for an off-the-radar prospect to break through, look no further than Barton, a third-rounder in 2018 who transitioned immediately into a big role for UMass Lowell as a true freshman this season. At 6-feet-2 he has size, a high IQ and improving skating. He was a relative unknown out of the draft, but put him squarely on the radar going forward.​

And some really nice words from Martin:

“He’s a good player,” Martin said. “Smart player. Moves well, decent size — a little bit of a lanky build — he’s gotta add some strength for sure, but when I went in to see him play early in the year at Miami, I met with the coach (and) the coach had basically thrust him right into almost first-pair minutes and power-play time. He got a lot of responsibility early. … I think he’s played some good minutes there. … We like his hockey sense and his mobility. He’s a good prospect.”​

Eliasson

he's a pretty good goalie prospect,not on the level of a Larsson but definitely good enough to go here

the rest I see as either extreme longshots or longshots that also have low upside

 

[Frk It]

Man, it’s sad to see Saarijarvi on this list. I really liked him as a prospect, for a lot of the same reasons as I liked Hronek as a prospect. Would be nice if he could surprise us and at least put up some numbers in GR next year.

 

[Rzombo4 prez]

Pearson, though I think Barton actually has more upside.

 

[lilidk]

Turgeon far to have highest potential but this year supposed to be big for him to make Red Wings 4 line great PK so I voted for him.
Future is The most skilled forward in this group also we have couple potential good goalies

 

[newfy]

I'm going Smith only because of how Draper talked about him last year in prospects camp. I think he'll be an NHLer, might not be anything other than a 4th liner but I think he'll get a chance to play. At 18th prospect, thats worth voting for.

Seth Barton, easily for me. Last guy I feel has an NHL chance.

​

Givani Smith definitely has a chance.
Kotkansalo constantly impresses me more than Lindstrom, who ranks way higher.
I think guys like Soderblom and Tyutyayev are longshots, but longshots with pretty interesting upside.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Smith, Kontkansalo, Pearson and Turgeon all have a ton of NHL traits and should get cups of coffee at least at some point. Turgeon already has. I like the first three more long term. Of the guys left on the board I think Barton has the highest ceiling.

I went with Pearson when balancing all that, but I think those four guys while not as fascinating to our fan base have better odds than some of the guys going above them of actually playing a couple hundred NHL games.

 

[Winger98]

I went with the Swede goalie. I think some other guys are more likely to make it, but I think Eliasson has the best ceiling and I'm willing to roll the dice on goalies in the teens.

 

[NotLeddy]

Really like Kotkansalo here
