HFBoards TOP 50 Prospect Ranking: #21 (closed)

[Just Linda]

How come Wahlstrom is on the board getting votes while Farabee isn't an option yet?

Farabee : 17G - 19A - 36P

Wally: 8G - 11A - 19P

It’s Farabee who won the NCAA rookie of the year, not Wahlstrom (or Miller).

Wahlstrom is still riding his predrafts hype. I say if often but I've never soured on a prospect as fast I have on him, to me it's miraculous that he's even included in these polls.

they pushing their Sandin like crazy

Did that With Liljegren, Check
Did that with Dermott, Check
Now, Sandin's turn!

I'm guessing the only thing you know about Sandin is that he was drafted by the Leafs, because there's literally nothing laughable about voting him in as the 21st best prospect

Went Miller here. Feels like I'm gunna vacillate between him, Valimaki, Denisenko & Caufield for a while until I move into my next tier.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Isnt it because of injuries?

That’s the excuse, but I’m not surprised he went that low at all. HF overrates Krebs like crazy.

Oh, and Sandin shouldn’t be close to winning this, wtf

He was still ranked 8th pre-draft (avg rank from 14 different sources), after Cozens, before Podkkolzin, Caufield, Broberg, Seider, Soderstrom, Boldy

Ya he started to get a lot of hype leading up to his injury in the prospects media, but I’ve personally never really bought into it. We can’t really know for sure whether the injury affected his draft position or not, but personally I don’t think it played a huge role.

Batherson should have went top 8 but he's not and meanwhile the Leafs are pushing Sandin

Batherson winning a poll while Benson can't even get on the ballot is some kinda funky.
