Thanks @McMozesmadness

Picked McLeod for the last position, I'll take him again. I feel he's a really good prospect.

you my boy coop

I could see a lot of regression for Bear next year, but definitely the deserved #3 IMO. This one is harder for me. I could see the case for any of the following:

Benson - he hasn't progressed as I hoped, but he has exciting pedigree and is still progressing. Plus he's rebounding from a flurry of injuries that he's hopefully moving on from - he was fully healthy all of last year, no?
Ryan McLeod - I didn't like this pick, but he's got some impressive tools. Probably not my pick here but I can see why others would vote him.
Jones - had a rough year, but was impressive before that.

 

[Hockey Nightmare]

Other than pedigree I don't see why Benson would be considered better than Maksimov

 

[LaGu]

Lagesson for me, but that will change if he doesn't impress in TC/pre-season. I have a feeling that he'll be putting up a good challenge for 3LD.

Otherwise Benson or Maksimov for me.

Went with Mcleod. I was a lot higher on the guy than others before the draft. Was thrilled we got him.

It was between Mcleod/Maximov/Jones for me here. Went with Mcleod because I think he has the most upside/likelihood of reaching that upside out of the guys remaining.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

It’s a good sign that there about 6-7 names I could reasonably see in this spot.

Went with Benson but McLeod or Maksimov are good choices.

Benson has a much more versatile skillset IMO. Main reason for him over Maksimov, other than pedigree. Benson still has the possibility to be anything in the NHL from a top 6 player to a 4th line checker. Maksimov is gonna be a shooter or bust I think.

 

[MoneyGuy]

Jones for me until the rest of you smarten up. We have a few prospects at this level.

 

[Hockey Nightmare]

I think Marody could surprise some people.

Although I voted for Tyler Benson as the #4 prospect, due to the potential I think he can bring, it's kind of moot since Bear's won the #4 spot along with #3.

I've gone with Benson. First off season he's been able to train for a few seasons, so should see a improvement. He's had a lot of injuries, hope they're in his past now and don't bother him again.

Was considering Kirill. If Benson gets this round I'll vote for him next round.

 

[MessierII]

I went with Skinner here. It’s close between Benson, McLeod, Maksimov and him.

When guys are this young pedigree goes a long way. That and benson did not bad from what we hear in his ahl stint.

 

[lakai17]

Stuart.

Benson wins poll 4

Poll 5 will be up shortly.

Benson had a great year in my opinion and he didn't look out of place at all in his 5 AHL games. He contributed 3 points

So we wait two weeks for prospect #4 thread and the poll lasts 10 minutes...

I would have taken McLeod.

Benson really hasn't impressed yet imo. This is a big year for Benson. Hope he can stay healthy and show some significant improvement at the AHL level + maybe even earn a cup of coffee.

Poll was open for 2 days which is an appropriate amount of time IMO.

Seen that after I posted. Very strange I somehow didn't see it. The new one didn't show up for hours after it was posted either.

Think the site is getting twitchy again. Disappearing reappearing threads.

The site has been a bit odd lately, but yeah. I set that one for two days, I think thats the perfect time range, gives people time to vote, but we also move at a decent pace.
