Prospect Info: Penguins #2 Prospect

[Malkinstheman]

Poulin our first 1st rounder in 5 years takes the #1 number spot.

Sorry to all those who voted for Jarry but im going to take him out of the poll.

#1 Sameul Poulin (35.6%) (New)

Expecting this to be a landslide for Addison

[Randy Butternubs]

Still POJ.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Gonna go POJ. Hes closer than Addison and seems to have a much higher floor as well.

 

[Andy99]

It's either POJ or Addison but since POJ hasn't been in the organization long and we haven't seen him play, I'm going with Addison, who's been developing nicely...

 

[Peat]

Addison, not at all influenced by this tweet...



End of the day, at this point, I'm picking on ceiling.

You've seen Addison play?

 

[Andy99]

You've seen Addison play?

At camp, yes...

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Hallander for me.

 

[UnrealMachine]

POJ. He appears to have the most complete skill set amongst the prospects.

 

[Shady Machine]

Addison again based on ceiling and potential impact.

 

[Jacob]

Hallander for me.

Same. Was considered a bit of a steal in the late 2nd, and had a reallly impressive post-draft season. Equally or more impressive than players drafted ahead of him in the same league, including Bokk.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I think Legare may end up being better than Poulin.

 

[The Old Master]

Gonna go POJ. Hes closer than Addison and seems to have a much higher floor as well.

he's only 30lbs away. that could be 30 years though. imo
edit; just going by how long it's taken a. j.

 

[Coastal Kev]

I believe Bellerive will push to get on the big club sometime this season.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

End of the day, at this point, I'm picking on ceiling.

I still can't believe Jesse re-tweeted stats with a 5-game and 14-game sample size, respectively. Really painting a broad, accurate picture there

 

[CertifiedPublicGuin]

Expecting this to be a landslide for Addison

Isn't this influencing the voters?

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Addison based on ceiling and the simple fact that I haven't seen Joseph enough yet.

 

[steelcityassault]

POJ all he needs is to lift and add muscle

There's something in the tweet thread about the sample size and at what level it starts to get solid - but yeah, small sample sizes. But more than we've got.

I'd still probably go for Addison even without that tweet mind.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Same. Was considered a bit of a steal in the late 2nd, and had a reallly impressive post-draft season. Equally or more impressive than players drafted ahead of him in the same league, including Bokk.

Exactly that plus the really impressive 8 points (5 goals) in 7 games in the relegation round for a weak and young team. Hopefully he can capture more of that over a full season but I’m excited for the kid.

 

[Nakawick]

Regardless, it is nice that we seem to have several more prospects than we have had in the last few years. I think Bjorkqvist is going to be with the big club after Christmas.

 

[Zero Pucks]

Gonna keep pumping Ameida for about another 7 more polls I guess.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I think Addison has the highest upside, but he has high bust potential as well IMO. I think POJ is similar to Pettersson, he only has 2-way #3D upside but he's probably going to be a NHLer. POJ's problem is that he's undersized, he doesn't seem to have many issues with his game from reading scouting profiles.

I'd go POJ because I don't think Addison's high end potential is higher enough for me to pick him over the safer prospect in POJ.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Jordy Bellerive...again. Gonna surprise many.

This is our best prospect group since when...2012? When we had all those dmen that didnt pan out here, to go with Beau Bennett..Crosby's future top winger for next decade.

This group being more forward heavy tho...and their particular skill sets...way more confident in a handful of them panning out. Some as top 6..some solid bottom 6. And a Guentzel type or two.

Allowing us to eventually move Rust, Bjugstad, etc...and add a top dman for example with the money we will have from 2-3 players on their ELCs.

Entering a whole new era it seems while Crosby/Malkin still have plenty left in the tank. 2 more cups. 5 total.

I'm surprised that POJ and Addison are getting top 3 votes. I think when rating prospects, one should find a balance between potential and likeliness of achieving that potential. In POJ and Addison's case, both have a very high chance at busting. I think Hallander (and Miletic at #3) is a much better choice at #2, because he's already had success against men and has obvious potential. My top 10 if Jarry isn't included :

1. Sam Poulin (F)
2. Filip Hallander (F)
3. Sam Miletic (F)
4. Justin Almeida (F)
5. Jordy Bellerive (F)
6. Calen Addison (D)
7. Nathan Legare (F)
8. Pierre-Olivier Joseph (D)
9. Sam Lafferty (F)
10. Kasper Bjorkqvist (F)
