Prospect Info: HFCF Prospect Poll: #12

[Anglesmith]

We did this last summer, lets do it again.

I am going to start with some guidelines.

To be considered a prospect in these polls they must be under 26 (as of July 1st, 2015) and have fewer than 80 games of NHL experience (including playoffs).

I will set polls to expire in 48 hours. After 48 hours a winner shall be declared unless the winner has less than a 10 vote lead. At which point there will be a 24-hour poll that pits against each other anyone within 5 votes of the leader. There will not be multiple runoff-polls so a win by 1 in a run-off poll will be final. After a winner is declared the next poll will be put up at my earliest convenience.

The current plan is vote on all 37 eligible prospects, but if participation dissipates it may stop sooner.

List of eligible prospects:
Agostino, Ken
Andersson, Rasmus
Arnold, Bill
Bennett, Sam
Bruce, Rily
Carroll, Austin

Does Wolf even count in the prospect pool rankings? He did go back to Germany after all.

We still own his rights, not any different than Rafikov at this point.

We still hold the rights to Taratukhin and Zainullin too, are you gonna put them on?

If they met the criteria laid out I would.

Right, right, the age.

 

[Skobel24]

Really? How is that possible when they're both like 32 years old.

No transfer agreement with the Russian Hockey Federation, thus their rights never expire.

Went with Jooris. One of the lower ceilings of the next few guys, but he's already a legitimately good third line forward whereas most of these guys are quite the dice roll in terms of whether they'll even make the NHL.

Will be going with Jooris next, then Arnold I think.

Shore next for me, his ceiling is similar to Granlund this is about where he should have gone too.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Shore next for me, his ceiling is similar to Granlund this is about where he should have gone too.

Never been overly impressed with Shore in any of his NHL games. Not to say he was bad. Just never stood out to me in any way.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Never been overly impressed with Shore in any of his NHL games. Not to say he was bad. Just never stood out to me in any way.

I hear tales that his level of fitness wasn't at an appropriate standard, which may have affected his "stand-out-ness"

Same could be said for Granlund though, he hasn't been overly impressive either. In fact I would say he looked more overwhelmed than Shore did in any of his appearances.
