Behrens for me.

 

[McMetal]

Gotta go with Behrens here, he had a great year at DU as a freshman, and while it seems like he's on a longer development program, the Avs seem perfectly willing to be patient while he matures.

Voting to add Annunen, he may be risky, but not many other upside options available to us.

 

[Hasbro]

Potential: Behrens

NHL readiness: Myers

 

[cgf]

I voted for trade bait.

 

[Richard88]

Behrens should win this in a landslide.

Weird placing Meyers in this ranking as he's basically on the NHL roster already. I guess he'll be at 2.

Add Ambrosio

 

[Bensch88]

Not Kaut

 

[Perratrooper]

For me it’s Meyers, I think he has good potential to be an elite third liner and is likely an NHL regular next season. Behrens COULDA become a top 4 dman, but I think that they’re close enough for me to go with the safer bet.

Add Annunen

 

[TruePowerSlave]

Behrens
Meyers
Olausson

Put them in any order you want but after that the pool straight up sucks. Meyers is the only sure thing but might not be more than a bottom six player.

 

[Vaslof]

I think Kaut will also be NHL regular next season. I also still have faith in Beaucage. He should at least be able to light up the AHL with his shot.

Meyers
Olausson
Foudy

Ranta is interesting in that the higher up in level he goes, he has taken a little longer to have a break through. This would be year 3 with the Eagles (same year he had his breakthrough season with Minnesota). Does this mean being a contributor to the Avs is 4 or 5 years away?

 

[UncleRisto]

Olausson, because I've decided he has the most NHL potential.

Yeah, he'll be 46.

Maybe he doesn't like holes in the ground or hobbits?

This is my list also.

For me Meyers is only a prospect by technicality/definition. I totally get why he’d be voted in here or early but for me personally I’m not going to vote for him. It’s true he may be the only player on this list to be a NHL regular tho.

Olausson edges Behrens for me. It’s tough to compare them as players, both are the most talented prospects left. I’m giving Olausson the nudge for proximity and he’s shown a little something in NHL preseason and AHL postseason. First year pro will be big for him but I think he gets a little benefit of the doubt here. Behrens would be next on my list.

Add Foudy, he had a great finish to the season and is probably the only prospect with any upwards momentum right now.

It’s Ranta’s last year of ELC and waiver exemption so he doesn’t have 4-5 years, he’s got 4-5 months left to stick.

Behrens' upside as a top 4D puts him higher than Meyers (surefire ~3rd liner/bottom 6 F) and Olausson (2nd line winger upside).

I give Meyers the edge over Olausson because he's more ready and can also play center. Olausson over Meyers would also be valid though based purely on upside.

I bet he doesn't have that.

Olausson is the only prospect with an elite attribute imo.

 

[Bone Breaker]

voted OO, add Annunen.

the ranking after the top 5 will be... forgettable. lol

Annunen
Ranta

After that, doesn't matter

 

[Spirits]

Isn't Beaucage's skating an issue?

That's who I voted for and it was for the same reason.
