Poll: Flames Midseason Prospect Pool Rankings

[MonahanTheMan]

Did this for fun. Just follow the link and rank the prospects in the order from best to worst. In a week, I'll compile all the data I got and see who we rank tops after half a season.

Too much work. So many decisions, brain is no longer functioning.

 

[MuffinMerc]

...and I have a midterm tomorrow!

 

[herashak]

Made it to 20, to many names to do Em all

 

[InfinityIggy]

Done. Was harder than I thought it would be.

 

[Trae]

Spent a solid minute and half on it, but none the less off the top of my head:

1. Monahan
2. Gaudreau
3. Baertschi
4. Poirier
5. Gillies

6. Klimchuk
7. Jankowski
8. Reinhart
9. Granlund
10. Wotherspoon

11. Knight
12. Arnold
13. Sieloff
14. Ortio
15. Agostino

16. Ferland
17. Hanowski
18. Culkin
19. Ramage
20. Roy

21. Kanzig
22. Cundari
23. Kulak
24. Jooris
25. O. Roy

So many guys I want to rank higher but simply can't, cause we actually have depth in our pool for once. Ferland and Hanowski not in the top 15? Whaaaat?

 

[Ace Rimmer]

I spent nearly three minutes on it while having one eye on curling, but have a very similar ranking as Trae.

That said, I think there are a couple of potential NHL players all over the list, not just the top ten.

Having some actual prospect depth is kind of nice.

11. Jankowski
12. Reinhart
13. Billins
14. Sieloff
15. Ortio

16. Agostino
17. Ferland
18. Hanowski
19. Culkin
20. Ramage

21. Roy
22. Cundari
23. Jooris


This is all I can remember.. I think. Janko definitely dropped for me, Arnold gained a lot of points, and Baertschi obviously dropped a few key spots

 

[Taranis]

I always find it hard to rank goalie prospects in relation to the rest, I mean who knows how there skill will translate or how long it will take them to be good. My top 10 went like this:

Monahan
Poirier
Gaudreau
Sven
Klimchuk
Jankowski
Granlund
Wotherspoon
Knight
Sieloff

The neat thing is I can see all of these guys having a spot in the next couple years.

 

[Zoombie]

Monahan
Poirier
Arnold
Sven
Gadreau
Granlund
Kanzig
Klimchuk
Sieloff
Djankowski

[Johnny Hoxville]

1-Monahan

11-Arnold
12-Ferland
13-Kanzig
14-Agostino
15-Culkin
16-Kulak
17-Roy
18-Hanowski

After that, it doesn't matter a whole bunch to me.

Shockingly close to mine. We do have quite a bit of depth in our pool now, which is nice.

I really think we should move a couple of these guys for D-men though.

Didn't spend that long on it my biggest riser is Ortio my biggest faller is probably Cundari.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Oops, I forgot Ortio. He's probably around 15 on my list.

Our lists are almost identical it seems. Did you forget Billins?

 

[TheHudlinator]

I did I had him around 15 I think.

We have depth, sure. But it would be nice to have some top end guys. Gillies and Gaudrea might be the only guys with elite potential, then it falls off to Poirer, Baertschi, Monahan, Granlund, Wotherspoon and Ortio as those high end supporting/depth players, in the top 6/4 roles.

And then its a toss up from there, where the range can vary. You can have a Brodie type player who becomes top 4 unexpectedly, or you can have a Nemisz type player who was expected to have a better career.

While I agree most teams are luck to have two elite players. Im not sure why you think Monahan or Bart couldn't become elite guys. I assume you mean 1st liners..

Its good to keep in mind that we are still in the first year of the rebuild and we should get another elite piece at the draft.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Flames Prospects suck anyways. Worst in the league.

I see Mono and Bart as being 50-70 pt players. Obviously 1st/2nd line guys on any team, but not elite, league-leading scorers or anything.

 

[MarkGio]

Looking at the depth chart (and ceiling chart), here's a possible "future" line-up of Flames' young players and prospects, as I see it:

Gaudreau - Monohan - Poirer
Baertschi - Backlund - Klimchuk
Granlund - Jankowski/Agostino - Ferland/Colborne
Bouma/Hanowski - Knight/Arnold - Jooris

Brodie - Wotherspoon
Seiloff - Ramage
Roy/Cundari - Culkin/Kulak

Gillies
Ortio

Obviously some of these guys will bust. I think it would be better if we had a high end centremen, and two right handed wingers with top 6 potential. I also think another two top 4 defensemen are needed, in order to play the probabilities. Plus size would help. None of our skilled guys are large players for NHL standards.

While I'm in love with our prospect pool, reasonable speaking, there are holes that need to be addressed I think.

I want to see Tim Harrison on the fourth line. Guy's a **** disturber.

You forgot the top 5 picks in the next 3 years

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Guys I really believe Reinhart has been a huge riser for us this year, much like Brodie. He hasn't really come out of no where, but the extent to which he's increased his production has been astonishing. I think the elite status of his brothers has really pushed him to elevate his game as the big brother doesn't want to be outdone by his younger siblings. He could easily become a gem, much like Granlund and looks to now have top 6 upside and not just a grinder. His has excellent hockey IQ, good 2-way game, and now he's scoring. I really hope he gets a callup here again soon.
