Prospect Info: HFCF Prospect Poll: #9

[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

Yeah but without Donut holes we wouldn't have Timbits. What kind of man wants to live in a world without Timbits?

After this group, my care level goes down. I'll vote either Ferkland or Shore. Followed by Morrison.

Your interest level goes down when there's still an early second-round pick from 2014 who has easily met or exceeded expectations on the board?

Care may have been a poor choice of words, but I feel that this is where there's a drop off in talent in our prospect system. Still lots of quality guys though.

My excitement level about who's on board decreases is a better way of putting it.

I guess it's harder to get excited about a goalie, given how tough they are to project and how much time they take to develop, but I nonetheless contend that Mason McDonald is a very exciting prospect.

The sexiness factor is certainly decreasing as we move past 10, though.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Definitely AS, I think that MM could be every bit or more as good of a prospect that Gillies is. But he's a long ways away. In terms of our forwards and dman left, now we're looking at middle 6 to middle pairing guys. Still some really good quality on board, but none that wow me. Nonetheless, we still have a very good top 10 as compared to last year.
