"Mid Summer" Sabres Top Prospect Rankings Poll #4

[Icicle]

Ullmark is 25. I would have not included him in this ranking anyway. But seriously, cut the crap dude.



Could be putting more weight into ceiling than likelihood. Nylander has top line potential, Thompson seems like more of a 2nd line scorer.

Well, if you read what's been said by Botterill and the media, him being Jack's winger of the future is what even he is hoping to achieve. He's got a similar ceiling, and a better floor than Nylander.

I just don't see it as some sort of 44 to 9 % blowout win, even if you want to call it close. Especially considering some of the other names on the board (Pilut, Asplund, etc.)

I agree with you, and personally have TT above N at this point. Just trying to rationalize a bit. It's not a *huge* gap in overall value imo.

First time seeing these polls? Where was the other 3 hiding?

Anyways where is Ullmark?

What a sham. The bias is so real especially the names on there over Ullmark.

Joke rankings.

Eh, he hit the age limit when he turned 25, I wouldn't have had him.

Can't post further, ax jammed in my back and all that.

I voted Nylander here based still on potential, but this is put up-or-bust year for him, I think.

He needs to show more than incremental baby-steps forward this year. If we don’t see major steps forward from Nylander this year, I’m writing him off.

this is surprisingly hard. This could easily be Nylander, Pilut, Thompson or Asplund for me. I went with Pilut - based mostly a gut instinct - I think this guy is legit.

OK - who voted for Chukarov? lol

Why the rush to get all of these posted in a single day? Usually they get three or four days per selection

Single day? This was started on Saturday. The top 3 were pretty clear tbh. I don't see a rush.

I guess I should've taken more time with voting open on each of the polls. Apologies.

It's pretty much the same with the regular prospect polls. i dont get your point.

Ivan chukarov votes at #4. The guy won’t make too 20! It’s silly to even include him have 8 to choose from.

Are we doing #5?

I will get to this later this evening! Thanks for the reminder!

Can we amend the board rules to have stuff like this be violations? There’s so much of this (1) unwarranted assitry and (2) conspiracy nonsense around here lately.

Anyways, Nylander for the time being!

Never heard the word "assitry". I like it.

He's 20yo. I can be patient.

This was a toss up between, Asplund, Nylander, Thompson and Olofsson for me. Went with Tage
