Scrapping the barrel here. I'll vote McNeil

 

[Penguinator]

Aaaaah Yesssss!!! Finally, giant mutant Russian with a lead!

Went McNeil. He has the chance to be a lesser Brooks Orpik. Nice open ice hitter, a trait you don't see much any more. Size and physicality. He's a long shot, but so are all of our prospects, except for a few.

A few long shot boom or busts. It'd be nice

 

[Penguinator]

Vote Nikita or i'll call the Russian mafia!

 

[jmelm]

Kuhn.

 

[Waffle Fries]

I voted Marcantuoni. In my opinion, he's easily the most likely to be an NHL player of the guys left.

 

[Shady Machine]

I went with Taylor because I forgot about Mac.

 

[alexfr]

I went Taylor again because of the offensive ability on the back end.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Darkhorse Segalla.

Why does it seem like all the Pens' longshot high scoring junior prospects never pan out (Dea, Zlobin, etc.) whereas other teams get their diamonds in the rough (for instance: Ottawa with Hoffman, Stone)?

I guess it applies to a lot of organizations, but it would be nice if we finally got a high scoring steal one of these days from one of these high scoring juniors selected late in the draft.

Yup basically last time they did well in the late rounds was 2007 when they picked Jake Muzzin and Dustin Jeffrey in the 5 th and 6th rounds.
