really dipping with the voting totals - looks like koko and keyser are headed for a showdown

 

[Estlin]

Vladar should win this. In fact, he should be higher in the top-25 rankings.

 

[PlayMakers]

Koppanen for me. He was very effective at the World Jr's, he played in the Finnish Elite league at 19 and produced decent numbers, and I thought he was one of the strongest players at development camp. IMO, his line (with Steen at LW) was the most effective line at camp.

I'm hoping he can develop into a Carl Soderberg/Lars Eller/Patrik Berglund type.

 

[UConn126]

I'm of the mindset that Koko shouldn't be included. He had his chance in this system and chose to leave.

Again, voted Hall for the hair.

Gabrielle. Didn't have a great year last season, but I think he still has upside as a third liner.

Did he really have "his chance" though? Not sure I'd call 9 games while averaging 10 minutes of TOI a chance.

Fair to say he could've seen more ice time at the NHL level, but will he be reporting to camp? I just fail to see the point of considering this guy a prospect still when he's already left the organization. Yeah, we own his rights, so technically he counts, but realistically we'll never see him wearing any kind of spoked letter (B or P) again.

Just last year he was considering returning to play. He did very well under Cassidy while in Providence, so I wouldn't be surprised if he came back to give it another go. Koko only signed for 1 more year in Russia. He could jump back over after the season is over.

I read more into the situation, and I will concede his chances of returning seem better than I thought, though my gut still thinks that's wishful thinking.

Where would he fit in the lineup? He's another offense-oriented, undersized, left shot forward, and we have more than enough of those as is

3 way tie between the 2 goalies and koko. showdown coming.

No idea where or if he fits, but that's a different discussion
