HF Ranking Prospect Pools #3

[Isaac Nootin]

Even if true its not suprising. Everyone loves to bash on the habs. No one will admit we rock!

Good prospect pool for sure, not ahead of Philly or LA for me (others could be argued as well) but anywhere from 3-8 would be reasonable.

Settle down, Sally.

I was replying to the post above. Perrhaps you glossed over that part in your fit of rage.

What in my post made you think there was rage?

Anyways, there is none, to clear the air

I'm trying to decide when it's appropriate to vote for NJ. I mean, it's Jack Hughes.

Anyway, I went with LA. I just love their group. Their forward depth is excellent.

 

[Love]

Depth is key.

Is it though? Because I would take top end talent over depth 10 times out of 10.

People on this site have been saying Philly has the best prospect pool in the league for what seems like 4 years now. The problem is all they’ve had is depth but not nearly enough top end talent and that shows.

For example, nobody in their right mind would trade Jack Hughes for Caufield, Poehling, and Suzuki, yet people will vote Montreal because of depth. Makes no sense at all.

Caufield cements our position at #3 with the incredible depth and high end prospects we have.
Just a reminder: Caufield/Poehling/Suzuki/Brook/Romanov/Primeau all had fantastic seasons.
In terms of F: edge to MTL easily imo
Of D: edge to mtl.
G: Mtl.
Habs > Philly

I am still confused why in vote 1, goalies playing 40 games was the criteria and Hart wasn't listed. Then once the OP was told Hart was missing, instead of adding him, the criteria changed to 30 games played for goalies. Hmmm....

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

No way I'd trade NJ's prospect pool for anyone else's left. Quality trumps quantity.

Illegal prospect

 

[Tripod]

Can I also say to @Mitch nylander, John St. Ivany and Wyatte Wylie, are behind Kalynuk and Hogberg....likely Bernhardt too. Hogberg especially since he is playing top minutes in the SHL.

Seriously though, if Hart's in that list I think I'd give it to Philly because he's got Carey Price written all over him.

To me, a prospect has to have Calder Eligibility.

Carter Hart does not, so I wouldn't include him on Philly's list.

i don't think Hart's inclusion would be enough to swing the balance towards Philly imo...

 

[Phion Keneuf]

NJ. Not close.

Thank you for your response. Hogberg is an obvious miss.

And that would be fine/fair. But that's not the criteria the OP used in poll 1...it was 40 games for goalies too. Then it changed for poll 2. Just a flaw from the get go. It's just odd that goalies have a different games played criteria compared to everyone else for the OP's criteria.

Montreal's pool is overrated. Its Philly easily.

 

[HabsTown]

Montreal's pool is overrated. Its Philly easily.

Cut the fact we’re rivals, do you honestly believe that? Be honest.

I’d quite curious on why you think we’re overrated....

 

[WingsMJN2965]

I like Ottawa, Detroit and Anaheim more than Philly and Montreal.

I don't get the Montreal love at all. They've got a lot of depth, but outside Caufield I don't really see the high end potential anywhere...

 

[KevinRedkey]

I'm a Flyers fan, but I honesty like Chicago and New Jersey's the best right now

And nothing against Montreal - but I just don't see it. It could be that I don't know their guys enough though. I just see more high-end talent in CHI and NJD.

 

[Mitch nylander]

I will let this poll run a little longer, as it is pretty close between Philly and Montreal.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Habs fan voting Philly.

Their depth is insane.

After that it's between Chicago, Los Angeles, New Jersey and Canadiens.

Habs defenseman are a bit underrated around here (apart from Montreal fans) because Romanov and Brook are not so much hyped a lot but they are as surefire NHLer as you can get.

I agree that the habs miss firepower though.

 

[Polar Bear]

Philly should’ve been 1, so no brainer here

 

[HabsMD97]

La, then mtl, then philly

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Philly, but Chicago is up there

 

[Kotkaniemi15]

I feel like if a less hated team had the Habs prospect pool they would have more votes
