Prospect Info: Penguins #1 prospect 2015

[Le Magnifique 66]

The way Murray played last year it has to be him

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Voted Murray. Add Simon.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Can't go a year of doing this without people complaining who should and shouldn't be on the list.

Suggesting who to add after a name is removed is standard procedure.

 

[wgknestrick]

How is Dumoulin losing this?

I can't believe anyone would even think he has a shot at it with Murray on the list.

 

[Liquid Gel]

That's kind of a sad list of prospects

How about the 3 years that Tangradi finished in top 3 (in which 2 included Bennet).

OUCH !

Voted for Murray

Add Ty Loney, just a different name than has all ready been mentioned

 

[Coach Travis]

I wanted to vote Murray, especially since he's from Thunder Bay, but I don't know. I've seen so many new goalies light the hockey world on fire only to mellow into journeyman goaltenders. I hope he's the real deal.

Voted Sprong.

 

[Coach Travis]

I'd say this is pretty typical for a team that has made the playoffs 9 years in a row. Besides, only later do we truly find out how good it is.

Voted Sprong.

I went Sprong too as I think he's a larger organizational need and also I want to see Murray have another great season before I vote him. Very impressive first year, but I am always so iffy on Goalies being able to hit their ceiling

 

[Burgs]

Add Ty Loney, just a different name than has all ready been mentioned

Loney was a free agent signing for the Baby Pens, to an AHL only deal. So he's not really a Penguins prospect. Though if he were to have a great rookie year he could get signed a la Sheary, and then make next year's poll.

 

[stepdad gaary]

sprong because this isnt a "most nhl ready prospect" poll

 

[UnrealMachine]

I voted Sprong. I realize that reeks of the same kind of newest flavor logic that put Tangradi and Morrow as the top prospects at one time, but I feel that he has the highest skill set and highest potential of all the prospects.

 

[SEALBound]

Voted for Murray

Posters here though had a WEIRD obsession with Tangradi though. Like, full commitment regardless of copious amounts of evidence. There was nothing about him to like other than "what COULD be". Terrible stats, unimpressive play, no redeeming skills sets...kid just didn't pan out. But people here were ready to marry the guy.

"Give him 40 games glued to Malkin's hip...so we can see what we have".

Better now...ish.

 

[Zen Arcade]

Voted Murray because I don't really see Dumoulin as a prospect anymore.

 

[AjaxTelamon]

I can't believe anyone would even think he has a shot at it with Murray on the list.

Without Dumo (and Chorney) I'm not sure Murray has nearly the season he had. Plus let's temper the enthusiasm, it was one year.

I'd be fine taking Dumo off the list, he's an NHL'r now. If so I'd go OS 8 days a week, or Sprong if we're looking at longer term potential.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Voted Murray because I don't really see Dumoulin as a prospect anymore.

That is true. If Pouliot is graduated to the NHL, Dumoulin definitely is as well.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Voted Sprong.

Maybe it's the shiny new toy syndrome

 

[BumFortyOne]

Can't go a year of doing this without people complaining who should and shouldn't be on the list.

Eh, having Dumoulin on and leaving Pouliot off seems rather strange to me, especially considering Dumoulin would need to clear waivers to go down.

But yeah, doesn't really matter.

Doesn't HF go by Calder eligible ?

So maybe Dumo hasn't hit it yet.

I think pouliot is at 36 games

 

[Valarukar]

People saying Murray only did it for one year, but didn't he also have a strong year the year after we drafted him as well?

 

[Zero Pucks]

It's not like we are going to have anyone worth talking talking about after the 5th poll or so. Hell I'm not even sure who's even worth adding on this poll. Add Macaroni, he has some big muscles.

 

[thecore]

Murray currently seems to have the highest upside. Dumoulin isn't a top 4 D and is a meh sort of player. Add Segalla.

 

[Harvey Birdman]

You could justify voting for ether of Sundqvist or Murray. Sundqvist for being the most NHL ready, or Murray for his potential.

I went with Sundqvist because how I like to view prospects is less about ceiling and whom could make a NHL roster currently in their development.

But it's all to ones own opinion when it comes to prospects.

 

[NeedleInTheHay]

This is a really sad list

 

[jmelm]

1) Murray
2) Dumoulin
3) Sundqvist
4) Sprong
5) Wilson
6) Rust
7) Jarry
8) Simon
9) Tiffels
8) Guentzel
9) Archibald
10) Blueger
11) Uher
12) Taylor
12) Segalla
13) Macaroni
14) Zlobin

after that, who really cares. Hopefully Lindo, Zlobin, Pavlychev, Lafferty and others may establish themselves, but no one else is even a decent bet to be a good player in the AHL.

 

[BHD]

King Pavlychev not being on the list is an egregious error.
