Shouldn't Ryan McLeod be on this list?

 

[LTIR]

Shouldn't Ryan McLeod be on this list?

Based on eligibility listed in OP he should be.

The guy is the exact same age as Bouch and has played less NHL games. Not having him in this poll because Tippett loves him is not a good reason IMO.

 

[Faelko]

Looking through my Oiler coloured glasses, that’s a decent group of prospects!

 

[joestevens29]

I went with Holloway, but truth be told we had Broberg as #1 last year. 2 months into the season he could very well surpass Holloway and Bouchard.

He lost a lot of hype last year not being in North America, but I'm sure soon as training camp fires up there is going to be a lot of media guys and fans drooling again.

Most Oilers fans had Bouchard ahead of Broberg until he had that crazy hot start at the beginning of the SHL season, which influenced the results of the last poll.

Yep, my mistake. I said I'd include him in the polls and immediately forgot to add him to this one. He's there now.

Agreed, I went Broberg still. I think if he was t injured for the WJC, people here would still be drooling about him.

I’m not yet convinced Holloway is a better prospect, need to see both of them play professional, North American, hockey this year.

Holloway imo is closer to the NHL than Broberg. Holloway has a more rounded game, Broberg still has a lot to work on. I think I have him at 4 behind Samorukov

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

Coin flip between broberg and Holloway here for me, two elite skaters. voted broberg as I still view his potential impact in a game as D as sky high but he will take a bit to get there, will get tons of mins with the condors this year. Holloway will obviously be my #3 vote.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Tough call, but I went with Broberg just based on potential. Add Kesselring.

 

[5 14 6 1]

Bouch
Holloway
Broberg
Samorukov
Bourgault
Lavoie
McLeod
Benson
Savoie
Konovalov
Skinner
Tullio

 

[Anarchism]

Kostko needs to play some extreme sports this summer.

If Broberg did anything drool worthy people here would have drooled over him. Holloway did and is getting the votes accordingly.

Holloway

Holloway imo is closer to the NHL than Broberg. Holloway has a more rounded game, Broberg still has a lot to work on. I think I have him at 4 behind Samorukov

I’m debating Samorukov ahead of Broberg as well.

Samorukov will be an NHLer before Broberg will be. He’s also a prospect that brings an element none of our D prospects have.

McLeod in this now throws a wrench into things, he’s already basically 100 percent established even though he’s played less games than Bouchard.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Mcloed is already penciled in as the 4C.

 

[OilerTitanFan]

Bouch
Holloway
Broberg
Samorukov
Bourgault
Lavoie
McLeod
Benson
Savoie
Konovalov
Skinner
Tullio

This is very close to my list but I have McLeod ranked higher. McLeod's going to be a solid 3C that we've been always trying to trade for. He could possibly slot in for 2C for spurts. Holloway would be the perfect 2C in 2-3 yrs.

 

[LTIR]

Mcloed is already penciled in as the 4C.

Not really, Shore will give him a run for the money. Turris is on the roster as well

 

[snipes]

Not really, Shore will give him a run for the money. Turris is on the roster as well

I can guarantee you that Tippett will not put Turris ahead of McLeod.

He loves McLeod, he’s a Tippett kind of player. Good size, great skater, defensively responsible and first man back type of centre. He’s already established himself as a full time roster player under Tippett.

Good size doesn't mean much with McLeod because he doesn't use it.

If he started using it, he could be a force.

 

[OilerSuperstar17]

I don't think it was Broberg losing hype as much as it was Holloway gaining it all.

 

[Samus44]

So many flybys instead of finishing his check. He needs to get to the tough areas and be harder to play against, dude could win a Selke if he played with grit.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Not really, Shore will give him a run for the money. Turris is on the roster as well

IMO Shore will be on the wing and Turris buried in Bako. They need the cap space Turris has tied up.

 

[Canovin]

Went with Samorukov
