[#1GuinFan]

voted Archie. this is where things start getting tougher, the top 5 was a given.

 

[IcedCapp]

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Also voted Sunqvist.

Add Payerl.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

I voted Megna.

Every single one of these guys, IMO, is a longshot to even make the NHL. At least Megna's shown he's capable of being an NHLer, even if it's not necessarily a top six guy.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

All aboard the Zlobin train. TOOT TOOT!

 

[Speaking Moistly]

I went with Megna. He's the one I'm most excited about and he's seen NHL time.

 

[Shady Machine]

Went with Sundqvist. It was a toss up for me with him and Megs. Went with the center.

 

[Vujtek]

Went with Archie.

 

[Pharrell Williams]

Closest one yet, woo woo. Team Sundqvist, highest ceiling/potential to hit ceiling I'd think.

 

[Ogrezilla]

Liquid Hot. He's the most sure thing of the next tier of guys.

 

[Waffle Fries]

I can see arguments for any of Megna/Sundqvist/Archibald/Samuelsson right now.

 

[billybudd]

Man, no love for Samuelssen.

Anyway, I vote him.

 

[Ogrezilla]

Man, no love for Samuelssen.

Anyway, I vote him.

He's going to be our number 7 by default because of his waiver status. He's probably our 9th best d-man. And he'll likely never have a spot in our healthy line-up in his career. I don't dislike him. I just don't expect much from him because of who we have in front of him. We're at the point where I start to factor in our needs a bit more. We need forwards far more than D-men.

 

[penguins2946*]

My 6-10 is:

6. Megna
7. Sundqvist
8. Archibald
9. Murray
10. Zoblin

Would Megna really be a prospect at this point? He has played 36 games so far in the NHL, compared to 47 for Bennett. I don't really consider Megna a prospect anymore, but I'm going to vote him since he's available.

The difference to me is that Bennett made the NHL roster out of camp, and would have played the full season with Pittsburgh if not for injuries which cost him 61 games. Whereas Megna started with WBS and was promoted and demoted again four times last season. It will be the last year he's in these polls either way but IMO right now he's still a prospect.

Okay that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying that.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Megna's already infuriated Flyer fans for having too small of a face, he has arrived.

Be not afraid of voting Zlobin.

 

[Corvidae]

Archie. I think he has potential to be a great 3rd-liner with 2nd-line "tweener" skills. A less gritty but more skilled Tyler Kennedy during his best years.

 

[Jacob]

Murray. he's not far off of Jarry imo.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Rust.

 

[Valarukar]

Murray. he's not far off of Jarry imo.

That's who I'm voting for next. His ceiling is a starting goalie, which is higher than anyone else's that is left.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

this list makes me sad

 

[BHD]

this list makes me sad

Blame Shero.

 

[Country Mac]

Megna has NHL experience
