An impressive 9 spot rise for Chicago, which may go even higher once Pronman's Athletic rankings are done. Very nice year to year progression.

I went with Arizona here, and didn't really need to think too hard on it. Edmonton, Toronto, Calgary and New Jersey are all on my radar at this point.

 

[LordNeverLose]

Edmonton, Arizona, New Jersey, and Minnesota all pretty close for me. Went Edmonton.

 

[JohnLennon]

For me it has to be Arizona right now. Hayton and Merkley are two potential top-six players, MErkley just coming off a big AHL season. Joseph and Capobianco are great pieces too.

 

[Mrb1p]

Went with Minny here.

Kaprizov is the best prospect left
Im extremely high on khovanov and think hes a first round talent.
Kunin, Sokolov, Gustavsson, Johansson, Greenway and McBain is an extremely deep pool, deeper than the rest of teams left.

 

[Mrb1p]

Without Strome, Arizona doesnt have the top end to hang with Minny IMO.

Winnipeg and Nashville have the top end but lack depth.
Edmonton doesnt have as good a depth or top prospect as the rest here.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

You can add Tufte in your player #5 slot for Dallas

 

[LordNeverLose]

CHI fans can correct me if I'm wrong but I'd guess Gravel is their top G prospect, maybe Peeters.

Honestly at this point it’s probably Delia. He was terrific down the stretch and in the playoffs for the Hogs last year. He really made an impression last season. Delia did just turn 24 a couple months ago hough so it’s hard to call him a prospect at this point but I wouldn’t at all be surprised if he has an nhl future.

If that's y'all's opinion, ok. I personally would take Gravel or Peeters over a guy who's only adequate in the AHL at 24.

Also just saw you have Lankinen. In that case I'd say he for sure is the best of the bunch.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Went Oilers here. Good top end of the pool, solid depth, no glaring weaknesses at any position.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Went with Minny and still would, but why no Toronto option?

Must have missed them, oops.

 

[Mrb1p]

Theres actually no way the Oilers are ahead of Minny here, thats quite ridiculous.

Kaprizov is so far ahead of anything the Oilers have.

Kaprizov > Bouchard
Kunin=Yamamoto
Greenway>Bear
Khovanov>McLoed
Sokolov>Benson
Johansson>Jones
Belpedio>Lagesson
Lodnia<Maksimov

And on and on...

Voted for Arizona, not sure how so many people think Tampa has anything but a bad prospect pool

CHL MVP in ABB, good 20/21 year old AHL rookies at all positions in Volkov Joseph stephens cernak ingram, junior standouts in Katchouk and Raddysh, and a strong draft including Fortier and Salda. Foote and sosunov as good junior guys on defense. Our defense and goalie pools are below average but our forward pool is really good.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Next four should be Tampa, Edmonton, Arizona and Minny day in some order.

Probably. To me tampa and Minnesota are the top 2 of those 4. Both of them should be gone already imo.

 

[Nizdizzle]

Are these polls based on the entire prospect pools, or just the listed top-5s?

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

This poll, is invalid since Toronto isn't even listed

The entire pool, top 5 is given for convenience sake.

Tampa is just naturally going to be one of the pools people least agree on due to their success with later picks and trust in Yzerman. Sporting News has them 7th while Pronman has them 30th. HFBoards will probably have them 17-20. Lots of variation there.

I think 10-15 is pretty fair for Tampa personally

Seems fair. After Vegas at 10 I feel like things get muddled. The only thing holding Tampa back from teams like Ottawa and Dallas is the lack of that top guy. The depth alone is impressive though.

 

[stl76]

Man...people are sleeping on Anaheim after a so-so season for Steel. Terry is a fantastic prospect as well. Admittedly I am higher than most on Mahura tho.
