I think name recognition plays a part to be honest, we all know him from being highly ranked. Personally I still wanted him in round one this year, so I'm not going to change that because he went behind Andersson.
Wanna vote hickey but he needs another year to raise his stock. So I voted klimchuk
Wow if we're going to have a runoff every time it's a close vote, we won't be done by x-mas.
Don't know why Janko was included, either. He was 7-8 votes behind Klimchuk and Kylington. Nothing against Janko, just don't think he should had been in this runoff.
I dont even know why Kylington is in this conversation. I guess his potential ceiling? If that's the case then Janko is definitely up there as well.
Going by HF's system where a 8.0D>7.0B, the potential ceiling of Janko outweighs Klimchuk's too.
so I'm going for Janko
Again, every time this question is asked, I refer to the "Gun to the Head" mentality. To me personally, after Bennett he is the most intriguing prospect we possess. For what he could become, I just think he's such an interesting prospect. Other than #93, he's the one guy I would prefer to keep over everyone else if given the choice.
I think Poirier, Klimchuk, Janko, Andersson and Gillies are excellent choices around this spot as well. Of that whole grouping, I see Gillies and Kylington as having the highest ceilings. Draft position means zilch to me.
that's what I meant though. Going by the same criteria, Janko is just as intriguing if not more. He's a 6'4 center who already has a strong 2-way game, and still has tons to offer on the offensive side. Centers like that don't grow on trees.
Is it possible to change my vote? If not, not a big deal really.
