He was on that Blues podcast with Andy Strickland a few weeks back talking mad shit on Bylsma. It ruled.

I feel like you need to balance out your “NHL regular” bias

You using 300 games for that?

Nah I don't have to pay out their bonuses. Lol.
More of just made an NHL team at least a few times

 

[steelcityassault]

Just want to add that Beau Bennett was in fact part of the 2015-16 Stanley Cup team. Evidence from Google:

There's pics of Dustin Jeffrey and Chris Minard holding it up too.. Their names aren't on it just like Bennett's isn't

 

[steelcityassault]

I forgot about Carl Sneep.

Two assists in his first and only NHL game I think..

Thanks y'all for participating. Final list is so:

1. Poulin (53%)
2. POJ (74.4%)
3. Hallander (48.3%)
4. Legare (24.7% in first poll, 43.8% in runoff)
5. Clang (33.3%)
6. Zohorna (30.7%)
7. Broz (28.8%)
8. Blomqvist (29.2%)
9. O'Connor (34.5% in first poll, 65% in runoff)
10. Puustinen (67.4%)
11. Lindberg (72.5%)
12. Lee (32.5%)
13. Bellerive (36.4%)
14. Gruden (39.3%)
15. Bjorkqvist (29.4%)
16. Reilly (30.3%)
17. Svejkovsky (40%)
18. Tankov (55%)
19. Almari (50%)
20. Caulfeld (45.5%)

Any thoughts? Anyone that should have risen/fallen since the voting was done? I think Legare, O'Connor and Tankov would have been big risers had we started the polls later, while Zohorna, POJ and Clang would have dropped a bit.

Thanks for doing this! Comparing the HFPens list, to my personal list, to my Excel list yields this:

Clearly, Legare's "stats" on my Excel list needs some work. And Tankov and Svejkovsky would likely be ranked/ranked higher.

Haha, "brox t", I'm leaving that in.

 

[Peat]

Not sure what my top 20 would look like tbh. I guess my personal rankings (as I think I'd have done at the start of the season, kinda ignoring some hot starts (but kinda not)) woulda kinda be

Tier 1 - Legit promise, high floor:

Poulin, POJ

Tier 2 - Legit promise but shaky floor, or decent promise, high floor

Legare, Puustinen, Broz; Zohorna, Hallander, DOC (also all the Scando goalies)

Tier 3 - Legit but shaky promise with shaky floor

Lee

Tier 4 - Legit but really shaky promise and floor; decent but shaky promise, decent floor

Svejkovsky, Tankov; Bellerive, Gruden, Reilly, Almari

Tier 5 - Surprise me and you'll be in tiers 2/3

Drozg, Caulfield, Bjorkqvist, Maniscalco, Airola, Ansons, McCleary

Tier 6 - Surprise me and you'll be in Tier 4

Yoder, D'Orio, Laatsch, Almeida

Tier 7 - Struggle to remember the name

Gorman, Phillips

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Did that injury from the fire derail Bellerive's potential, or did we just overrate his upside even prior to the accident?

Probably both.

3 months later, how's it looking? risers, fallers?

 

[Sideline]

I guess maybe Blomqvist is a riser, but that whole list isn't exactly inspiring.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Rankings are pretty pointless with this group, tbh. I'd take Broz and Zoho out of the Top-10 and replace them with Svejkovsky and Lindberg and just say "Here's 10 prospects."

I'm sure others' mileage will vary.

Hoping to do this once every 4 months.

Zohorna has technically graduated but I made an exception for him
