This feels like the point where it gets really difficult. Akil Thomas is developing nicely and is showing worlds of promise after putting up 102 points last season. Grundstrom is all, but guaranteed to be a solid 3rd liner with potential to break into the top 6 at some point in his career. Porky put up a point per game last year in the K, so the talent is definitely there for him. To be honest you can't go wrong with Durzi, Clague, Bjornfot, Phillips or Fagemo either, it's pretty f***ing awesome how many exciting prospects the organization has right now. I went with Grunny just for that fantastic start that he had last season when he first came up to the Kings.

 

[Reaper45]

Grundstrom add Nousiainen.

 

[kingsboy11]

There will be good players who won't be in the top 10. Amazing turnaround. Add Spence.

 

[jfont]

Add Lizotte

 

[Ghetty Green]

Bjornfot AINEC

 

[kilowatt]

Bjornfot, Clague, and Grundstrom should round out the top ten, which is pretty wild, because Clague was our second-best prospect before the 2018 draft. Now, he might not even be in our top ten.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

Daniel Brickley, D

 

[Mats26]

I liked what I saw from Matt Roy last year, he should be added to the next list. Going Bjornfot here.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Ya'll are sleeping on Sean Durzi.

He's gonna be a good one.

 

[dman3474]

Bjornfot, add Roy please

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Bjornfot for me here.

Swedish Mikey Anderson. Mikael Andersson

Add Jordan Spence please

 

[King'sPawn]

Ya'll are sleeping on Sean Durzi.

He's gonna be a good one.

I agree Durzi looks good offensively. I think, if anything, this list reflects how deep the prospect pool is

Yes, getting deep! Fagemo could make the Kings as early as next year (20-21) and conceivably score 12-15 goals and has ZERO votes.

 

[Master Yoda]

I guess I'm higher on Clague than most. I think his upside is still a #2/3 and a PP QB.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Yes, getting deep! Fagemo could make the Kings as early as next year (20-21) and conceivably score 12-15 goals and has ZERO votes.

He's up next for me!

As the discussion seems to have dwindled a bit, I'm going to make the next couple polls as one day. Hopefully some energy will be picked up. Most of the voting is complete within 24 hours anyway.

I voted for Grundstrom, but a case can be made for 3 or 4. I think he'll play in the top 6 next season and he's still very young.
