Voted for Andersson who has good potential.

Add Bourque because he's a very nice spark plug player who is showing good improvement in Hartford. But for injuries, he would've already been ranked, so he deserves to at least be in the poll.

 

[gary laser eyes]

Fogarty, add Bourque.

I like Fogarty he has NHL size and a decent set of hands. He can become a solid NHL power forward. I'm excited to see how he does at Notre Dame this year. Who's a good future comparable for him? Clarkson?

 

[Gardner McKay]

Andersson. Add Spelling (yet again).

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Dukes for his potential. May have been fastest skater in the draft according to some scouts. Add Spelling who seems like he may be able to score at the next level, although prospect development camps are hardly NHL caliber competition.

Clarkson? Nah. I envision Michal Handzus with a bit more of an edge as his high end. He's improved his defensive game to the point where his projections can include a possible defensive center, as opposed to just a big power winger.

 

[TheRightWay]

Add Spelling.

Clarkson? Nah. I envision Michal Handzus with a bit more of an edge as his high end. He's improved his defensive game to the point where his projections can include a possible defensive center, as opposed to just a big power winger.

Fogarty has much better hands and skating ability than Handzus (relative to development) and not nearly the defensive accumen (though that is something that, over time, can change). Definitely a better comparison than Clarkson, though.

 

[Matt4776]

I'm voting Tambellini, and want to add Bourque.

If not for injuries, Bourque would've been ranked long ago.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Ive said this a few times. I think Andersson has a ceiling of Anton Stralman. If he hits that ceiling that could be an extremely valuable player for us. I definitely think any one else on this list getting voted over him is criminal!!!

Couldn't disagree more. Fogarty has become an excellent two way player and Handzus was a very underrated playmaker in his prime. Neither is a particularly great skater.

Yup, been voting for him for a few rounds now.

Nicholls add Spelling

Who is Josh Nicholls?

Fair enough, I thought you meant Handzus as he stands right now as opposed to in his prime. Still, I think Fogarty has more finesse to his game and Handzus has the better IQ.

Who is Josh Nicholls?

Some kid we signed out of the WHL this year who used to be a Toronto prospect but wasn't signed by them.

Who is Josh Nicholls?

someone who put up some decent numbers and has decent size.. anyone know the knock on this kid

 

[Bardof425*]

Nicholls; add Skapski

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Pretty easily Tambellini for me right now.

Intriguing combination of speed, size, and offensive ability. If he fills out, he can be a heck of a player.

He has the same question marks as Fogarty did coming out of the draft. Here's hoping he can better fulfill his potential.

 

[Cynical TyranT]

Andersson, add Bourque

 

[kovazub94]

Andersson, Add Spelling.

 

[Zil]

Andersson, add Spelling.

 

[nyr2k2]

Andersson, Spelling.

 

[nyr2k2]

What's the thinking behind Duclair over Tambellini? Is it just because Duclair skates fast? Tambellini seems like the more intriguing overall package. That seems to be reflected in their draft position as well.
