Makar is the last prospect on the list I see any particular value in. Slim pickings for the rest, I'm going Henry next because at least he'll be an AHL player for us, and I doubt the other two will ever see NA ice.

 

[henchman21]

Can I preemptively vote for next year's 6th?

 

[Murzu]

Can I preemptively vote for next year's 6th?

Yes, who is he?

 

[henchman21]

Yes, who is he?

A rando 3rd year eligible from Slovenia.

 

[McMetal]

Can I preemptively vote for next year's 6th?

Nope, we're going to trade our 6th at the deadline to get Nemeth back.

 

[Pokecheque]

[henchman21]

Hater!

(I’d vote trading 6th for Nemeth over the last 6-10 options)

Moments like these make me wish they had a “dislike” feature

 

[Richard88]

None of the remaining prospects are anything special but it seems weird that a player is getting over 80% of the vote at this stage. I'll throw a vote Aman's way just because he's a natural center and is playing in a decent mens league.

Always bet on nepotism

Didn't Shmakov have decent stats from one of those Russian Man-Bear Hybrid Hockey Leagues a couple years ago, or does my memory deceive me?

Maybe in the MHL but he’s basically gone to the USHL, got hurt, the VHL got hurt and now is in but doesn’t play in the VHL for whatever reason.

 

[Bonzai12]

An NHL roster can only have a max of 23 players.

Do we really even have to go past 20?

 

[Avsboy]

I went with Henry because I am familiar with him

I'd take those stats with a grain of salt, Russian leagues can have some absurd goalie stats with the style of play. Shmakov has caught on in the Ufa system, which is pretty solid for young goalies... he's just low on the pecking order there like he always has been in Russia.

 

[McMetal]

I don't think Shmakov is ever going to come back to North America. He's injury prone, and his stats actually are middling in the VHL compared to league average.

 

[S E P H]

Kvaca is the only goaler who can actually become something as it looks like he's been a late bloomer. Super athletic, but I am sure he has the technical skills in terms of goaltending intelligence to ever be NHL-calibre.

Generally curious how you managed to come up with this logic...

Didn't we lose his rights? I didn't include him because of that, otherwise he would definitely have been in my top 25.

Yeah his rights are gone and he can sign with whomever, but if there is an organisation who would consider signing him as their first option I would guess it would be the Avs, right? I just mentioned him because he's been one of the few Euro picks, especially goalers that has actually developed positively even if he isn't Avs property anymore.

 

[Bonzai12]

Generally curious how you managed to come up with this logic...

you’re right - let’s go to 50.
