Prospect Info: HFCF Prospect Poll: #8

[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
Culkin, Ryan
DeBlouw, Matt
Elson, Turner
Ferland, Micheal
Gillies, Jon

I feel like there needs to be a Ortio vs McDonald discussion now.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Ortio this time.

 

[Taranis]

I should say, I like Ortio, but I feel McDonald will be the better goaltender for us.

 

[Skobel24]

Granlund/Ortio for #8/9.

Will be exciting to see how MacDonald and Hickey do with team Canada at the WJC's. Both appear to be safe bets to make the team.

A good showing by Hickey and I wouldn't be surprised to see him ranked as the second best prospect in the Flames system next summer.

As for the poll, everyone from 3rd to 10th, (assuming Ortio, Granlund and Andersson take the next three spots) is largely interchangeable for me.

 

[Taranis]

That top seven we voted is pretty awesome.

 

[herashak]

granlund, i'm holding out hope he moves to the wing and utilizes his shot to become a legit middle 6 winger. Although sadly i think there's too much dead weight hanging around the wings right now for him to not get sent down.

Wow Klimmer that high. Good gravy.

 

[Unkki]

Ortio. For god's sake, it's about time already.

Tbh, my list looks more like CP's list.

I agree. Calgary puck is earily similar to mine. Ferland, Granlund, Ortio higher, Kylington and Klomchuk lower.

I think HF seems to value 'potential' where CP is more more into proven results.

Perhaps the demographic is different and they have more casual fans who will vote for the names they recognize? Just a guess.

I don't think either site is more or less informed. I think CP just prefers results at the pro level (Granlund, Ortio and Ferland) while HF prefers perceived potential (Klimchuk and Kylington)
