Added Morand and McLaughlin Will add Guhle and Mahura next round. Then I probably won't add anyone for a few polls unless someone specifically requests it.

I'm going with Lundestrom here, it's like splitting hairs for me between him, Terry and Comtois - I was going to vote Terry but keep changing my mind.

I feel like terry will win here... but I like comtois.

Big, skates well, great shot, great hands... a bit edgy... I think he can really be a dominant force off the wing for Anaheim in the near future.

 

[Goose of Reason]

Comtois again. I think him and Zegras will be dynamite together in the show.

 

[DigiDuck]

Terry again, I think he's most ready to contribute next year, especially with some PP time.

Awesome statement about our forward depth that Terry is going to be #3 on our depth chart.

 

[eternalbedhead]

Lundestrom. He's easily the most well-rounded prospect in our pool and I think people are sleeping on his potential.

 

[Static]

I've got Lundestrum as well. The hampus of our forward group.

Lundestrom. He's easily the most well-rounded prospect in our pool and I think people are sleeping on his potential.

Idk if its sleeping, hes less accessible and its different looking at a guy playing in pro league then looking at guys like comtois/terry playing against their own age groups. You just read stat lines and comtois/terrys are much more impressive.... the eye test is tough cause I think all 3 look impressive in stretches. Lundy looks like he can be dominant shut down guy, and you hope he can find offense at nhl level(which I thought he showed a lot more than he was given credit for at draft, the skill/creativity is certainly there)…. terry has a little swagger like someone else said, and I feel like hell have the hardest time out of the 3 finding his game at the nhl level.

Lundy/comtois were both basically physically nhl ready at their draft years. Either way its nice that its competitive in our top 5.
The other nice part is
Zegras 9th
Lundestrom 23rd
Steel 30th
Comtois 50th
Terry 148thh

Outside of Zegras they were all pretty deep picks, that we seemed to have done well with. No real hand out picks..... and I think they were all guys we wanted before draft started/that our scouts really liked.

 

[DigiDuck]

I wouldn't say people are sleeping on Lundy. These first 3, and maybe even Comtois, seem to have higher ceilings and are flashier/more dynamic. Lundy strikes me more as a Saku Koivu type - someone who's quiet and steady and will be good in all facets, but not be looked at as a world beater. It's not a knock being 4 or 5, we just have nice forward prospect depth finally.

 

[AngelDuck]

Tough between Terry and Comtois. I lean Terry because I think he has the ability to be a guy that carries/drives his own line offensively.

With Lundestrom the injuries are a legit concern right now. I hate to say it but that lowers him on my list

Who knows what professionals/scouts/management has, maybe they have Comtois #2 or Terry or Lundestrom or someone else we aren't expecting.

Button had Terry #5 in the entire league before this draft.

Lundestrom. He's easily the most well-rounded prospect in our pool and I think people are sleeping on his potential.

Lundestrom is great in so many ways but I just havent seen enough playmaking or goal scoring. It has been awhile since I've seen him so he may be much more polished than early last season but I'd expect he still needs some time in the AHL to develop his scoring. The rest of the tools are there though.

Only game play that can be found

Thanks. There are definitely some beauties there. The way he shields the puck using his excellent edgework with strength on his skates reminds of Kakko.

I do have trouble putting too much into a highlight. I'd much much prefer a shift by shift. You just dont know if he disappears out there, how he plays off the puck, how he forechecks/backchecks, etc.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Terry was my #2 so naturally he's my pick here. I value offensive potential highly so I went with him. Comtois/Lundy are both great prospects as well.

 

[KyleJRM]

I thought Terry should have been the pick the last two times, so no reason to change now.

He also has Jones at #50 with Steel nowhere to be found

EDIT: Although I guess that was posted before Steel came back up and impressed.

 

[ohcomeonref]

Edit doesn't matter.

 

[TopShelfWaterBottle]

Need to see more offense from lundestrom before I rank him above comtois

Hasnt button always kinda had a mancrush on terry tho... i feel like hes always been super high on him

 

[Getzmonster]

Need to see more of an offensive edge to Lundestrom's game. Comtois has a knack for scoring, but I'm not totally sold on his skill level overall making him a factor shift to shift. Terry oozes skill and IQ and seems like a guy that will be a factor every time he's out there, and in a variety of ways.

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Accidentally voted Steel last time, although he won in a walk. The guy I meant to vote for was Comtois, who I think is really slept on league-wide, equally because of where and where to he was drafted. His production is something to behold and he really doesn't have a ton of major flaws. I think if he doesn't make the team this year it's mostly because of the logjam and the position of the team, I think he definitely has the talent to play in the bigs already.

 

[Kalv]

Terry. He has a wide range of offensive skillset and he has proved to be effective defensively too, if leaned on. There is a lot of growing/experiencing/improving for him but I think he has the best potential outside of Zegras in our prospect poll (Dostal is a wild card for me though)

Comtois next and probably Lundy after that.
Comtois had a surprising scoring spree last year in the NHL but his overall game can and should improve (he was only 19 then). WJCs showed he has the ability to be a very good all around winger, so he has some things he will need to polish but has an exciting potential.

Lundy shows flashes of brilliance but he has to keep it consistent. What happened to him in the AHL playoffs after that one superb 3p game? He will be my vote after Comtois.
