Prospect Info: HFCBJ 2023 Summer Prospect Rankings: #9

[Viqsi]

HFCBJ's annual prospect polls continue. A quick reminder as to how this goes:
Vote for the best prospect from the above poll (listed alphabetically) and post who you think should be added from the full (remaining) list below. Criteria is that they are under 25 and haven't spent the majority of a season in the NHL. (This criteria may not match any particular service's/outlet's, or anyone's here who makes a list. Be that as it may...)

There are no set guidelines to determine how you vote. Peak potential, likelihood of NHL career, pathway to playing time, expectations based on draft status -- any/all of these can be used at your discretion. There is no right/wrong way to vote.

[SavesEmNot]

Add Makarov.

 

[Nanabijou]

Whitelaw, add Pinelli

(how is Pinelli getting less love than Pyyhtia or Makarov?!)

Seeing as Jarmo and his scouts clearly had Pinelli below Strathmann on their list a month ago, Strathmann will be my add after Pyyhtia. Pyyhtia perhaps doesn't have huge upside but looked like he could carve out an NHL career based on his performance at the end of last year when he joined the Monsters/CBJ.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Add Pyyhtia

 

[DougKnowsBest]

bahhh I missed like 3 days of voting because I went to Florida for a long weekend


Tarasov is busted stuff. Ldbb is the best of what’s around

 

[Cowumbus]

Add Pyyhtia

I am boycotting until he’s added. Evaluation without Representation! Don’t tread on me.

 

[Cowumbus]

Whitelaw, add Pinelli

(how is Pinelli getting less love than Pyyhtia or Makarov?!)

Pinelli is much more risky, his upside is higher but he needs to improve his skating (below average) and shot (below average).

Add Makarov

 

[NotWendell]

Feel free to drop in with an “add Fisher” as you feel so moved.

I see his position is listed as RW/MOD. So if this pro hockey thing doesn't work out he can always run things over here at HFBoards.

 

[NotWendell]

What are the odds of someone at this age, who is less than a very good skater, ever being an impact player in the NHL?

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Someone needs to.

Could you explain what do you mean by confidence level? Because how I initially read this is that you're equally confident about these 5 prospects reaching their ceiling but Pyyhtia is ranked highest even though he would be playing at the least important position? (1b G > 4D > 3C > 3LW)

You are correct. Pyyhtia is ranked higher for me because my confidence level in him is increasing with time, whereas the other two have been decreasing. I’d also probably say 4D > 1b G, but yeah.

 

[Doggy]

Add _______ov.

Have we got any of those left?

 

[tunnelvision]

Add Ivanov x 5

 

[Viqsi]

Add Ivanov x 5

Due to this manipulation attempt 5 votes will be deleted from Ivanov.
